Samsung Galaxy A55 review

27 March 2024


Sort by:

''We have the entry-level 8GB/128GB version for this review and after running the AnTuTu storage test, we got results that are in line with the UFS 2.1 standard. Samsung hasn't disclosed what type of storage the A55 uses, but according to our tests, the entry-level version is likely UFS 2.1.'''

UFS 2.1 speeds at this price point in 2024. Is this a joke from Samsung???
UFS 2.1 was introduced back in 2015.

      You cannot use their information as a source, they are too much unreliable. Look at the different Exynos 1480 info they've given.

Even in dxo results, the score is neck and neck compared to a55. It can also shoot 4k30 with gyro e-stabilisation. And another great thing is photo remastering.

            objectively there is something strange if gsmarena gave a score of 4.1 to the a55 and 4.3 to the a54... personally I think that Samsung could have done much more, as it did for the a52s 5g

                  Anonymous, 28 Mar 2024If you think about it calmly, this is the S20FE that was re... morei got both S20fe snapdragon 4G and new A55, i paid s20fe around 15% more than A55 around 3years ago.
                  Experience wise pretty much the same, performance wise s20fe still hold pretty well against A55 and other midrange on A55 price, size is something preference-personally i like s20fe better because it fell slimmer and easier to hold with 1 hand.
                  The gripe of s20fe is stuck at android 13, battery isn't good at it used to be (4-5hours sot @ 120hz, around 5-5.5 hours sot @60hz, used to be +1 more hours) and unfortunately my unit starting to shut down when battery reach less than 5%, and dimmer screen compared to A55.
                  IMO S20fe still good if you can get good unit around 25% less than A55.

                          Those cons are manageable. The os updates and ui experience is the key. And also the camera.

                            No charger included is the end of the read for me.

                                And if not, the beloved smartphone benchmarks decide the battle, A55 is an over 20% upgrade over A52s. Sure, it's not a 2 generational upgrade, but it is something.

                                      The exynos 1480 is actually quite impressive and a big upgrade over its predecessor. However, apart from that the phone is very similar to last year's model in other areas
