This is a perfect midrange phone, and the cons is not daily breaker like :
- No charger in the box and not very fast to charge (you can buy original 25 watt fast charger only for 10 USD)
- Unreliable fingerprint reader performance (still acceptable)
- Thick display bezels (still acceptable)
- The virtual proximity sensor for turning off the screen during calls is not as good as a physical one (still acceptable)
- Expensive at launch (the price for 8/256 only 341 USD)

    1989 nothinghappened, 27 Mar 2024Finally a worthwhile soc upgrade over a52s, too bad it took... moreTrue... Coming from A52

            I'm seeing a lot of controversy about the A55's storage type. In the Antutu Storage Test it says it is UFS 3.x (3.0 probably). In the same test with A54 the result is UFS 2.x. Both 128GB

                During the dawn of time(Samsung Time), we were told, "come brethren of the S series and gather close to our savior Master Samsung!" He and He alone will grant you everlasting life because you are all S series Flagship owners! WE ARE YOUR BELIEVERS, we screamed as we fell to our knees in worship!
                Wow, I don't know about other S20 owner's but I feel like a lamb being led to slaughter. I guess I will be pretty good with some garlic, rosemary, thyme and a pinch of cardamon, nestled in a bed of celery, carrots and shallots! Never again Samsung! I'm purchasing an LG or a Pixel today. Then I'm FedExing my S20 Plus 5G to your HQ where it will be doused in lighter fluid and burned to a crisp! HEY S21 OWNERS, PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE YOU ARE NEXT! The implementation of planned obsolesce is moving right along according to schedule!

                I refuse to change! SADS20PLUS
                There is NOTHING OBJECTIONABLE in this post! Everything is purely IMHO!

                    Don't buy Samsung mobiles. Samsung is cheating costomers. After security updates DISPLAY will get vertical lines. My humble request to all costomers don't buy Samsung mobiles.

                      Purchased a samsung a55 5g previous phone hauwaei y9 prime . The a55 5g is light years ahead .I love that I very rarely use the power button. Don't miss headphone jack. A great phone $799 in nz.

                        Barrowboy, 05 Apr 2024Surely it has a DAC. Maybe not a good one, but how else doe... moreIt doesn't. Same as the A54 (the A53 was the last phone to have a DAC).
                        Both the phones don't support Hi-Res audio with compatible, original, 3.5mm to USB-C adapter. And adapters that don't have a DAC doesn't work for this phone and the A54 too.

                          They really ruined the A5X series did they? They were my go-to phone because of the size and how well rounded they were compared to Xiaomi (eww) or Oppo phones in that price bracket.

                          Bought the A55, haven't felt a "big" difference between it and the A54 however the display size is homongous width-wise. Only lasted 5 days with this one before going back to the A54 and it's 6.4" display.

                            Anonymous, 21 Apr 2024Currently I'm using an A54 which has the perfect size ... moreI tried the A55 and I hated the display size, not only is it taller (not an issue), it's wider by 3mm compared to the A54 which killed my one-handed operation.

                            Am back with the A54 and happier than ever because of the size.

                              Got this phone a month ago. So far I'm totally happy with it. True, price at launch was high but I bought it from samsung directly and got 256 gb in price of 128 and it also came with cover and protective foil plus I used that trade in deal where I got 80 eur discount for giving up my 8 year old galaxy a5. I would say it was pretty good deal. Competition is strong but if you require lot's of storage memory via sd card than you have little to no choice than this. If you don't need the fastest processor / graphics available and care more about storage than I would totally recommend this phone.

                                Kevbgt, 03 Apr 2024Motorola are now the go to option. Software is best and eve... moreTrue. And Xiaomi and their sub brands outside US. Everything else is a ripoff can't believe how expensive the phones have become.

                                  Currently I'm using an A54 which has the perfect size with a 6.4 inch screen, the A55 has a larger 6.6 inch screen which is too big for my liking. Other than thai's practically the same phone with a slightly faster processor. There are no extra band, wireless charging, nothing new really.

                                    Anonymous, 16 Apr 2024Not worth the money Only if someone is foolish enough to buy it at launch. There's gonna be loads of sub-300 dollar 128gb variants in the coming days. 😎

                                      77, 02 Apr 2024Much better off buying phones with s888 than this garbage ™®Are you sure? I have S21 FE and the battery is aweful.

                                        Andrsam, 09 Apr 2024Which phone is better - Samsung Galaxy A55 or Xiaomi 13T?I vote for 13t.
