I thought this phone was within the scope of the monthly update program, security updates are delayed a lot, the A35, a sub-model, received the May update, this device still has not received it, Samsung does not keep its promise.

Mahera, 01 Jun 2024Plz tell which charger you used?official Samsung charger from the samsung website (25w).
I'm actually annoyed with Samsung. It's 5th June and my phone doesn't even have the May patch. If they are falling behind already, what will it be like in a few years?

Anonymous, 03 Jun 2024What's not to love about this phone?
I'm coming ... moreI had high hopes for this phone, after owning an A52-5G and an A53, While the 52 was decent, the A53 was slow AF, so I only kept it for like 2 months then quickly sold it and got myself another Redmi Note10 Pro, This was like 2 years ago. When I saw the specs of the A55 I was excited and Since I am not a gamer, I don't care about performance so much, however camera is important! After the A55 was released, I saw the prices on Amazon and I was shocked. It started selling at about $599- Cdn and it is still selling for about $550- cdn.
My bro has a Galaxy S23 vanilla which I really like, but it's too expensive for my wallet, We also pay a ton of sales taxes in Canada. The only thing I am not liking about the S23 besides the price is the size. I am used to larger phones and the A55 would have been a perfect size. Once I was browsing the handsets at Koodo and someone offered me to try out a Galaxy S23 Fe, which is about the same size, widely avail, it has a much faster SD 8 CPU and an actual optical zoom lens, which none of my prev phones had. I really liked it and was able to find one for below 500- bucks, which is cheaper than the A55. So I currently use the S23 fe in mint green and I can only recommend it for the price.

What's not to love about this phone?
I'm coming from A52 which became slow after using it three+ years although after factory reset it became smooth again and gave it to my father.
So I decided to buy A55, it was about 400$ at release in my country. I use phone for social media, reddit, browsing, messaging, YouTube and stuff like that. Not into gaming and video editing or heavy stuff like that. So UI smoothness, decent chipset is a must for me.
UI is buttery smooth with that fast chipset and 120 hz display, whoever says Exynos is not good, don't believe them. I was also spectical about Exynos and I've never had Exynos phone before because of negativity around it in the internet, but after trying this phone, it changed my mind. It doesn't lag at all. 5/5
Battery life is amazing, 7-8 hours SOT with single charge, which lasts me 1.5-2 days easily. (A52's battery was deteriorating, was barely lasting me full day) 5/5
Screen is good, although it is not vivid like A52 or S series, colors are natural. Which is not problem for me, although if you make a switch you'd notice it, I've used to it tho after several days. 4.5/5
Camera is good, shutter speed is near instant (which was becoming so unbearably slow in A52 after every update) But photo quality can take some improvements. You can also edit photos in the gallery by clicking remaster which turns the colors more vivid and makes them to stand out. It is not bad by any means tho. I'm not that heavy photo taker so it's not a problem for me either, and don't expect some flagship photo quality with 400$ phone. 4/5
I love OneUI with it's customization, features which I think is better than all Android skins 5/5
Design of this phone is also amazing, feels good to hold in the hand, metal frame feels premium. Although bezels are a little bit thicker than S series after using it some time it doesn't bother me now. At least it's better than all the other ugly design phones in this price range. I give it 4.5/5
Oh and I plan to use it for 4-5 years so 4 years of OS updates + 5 years security updates are good for longevity. 5/5
Tldr: Overall 4.7/5, Best midranger in my opinion and best 400$ I've spent. Compared to 800-1k $ flagships compromises are minimal for me. And if you're coming from A52 like me, you won't regret in my opinion.

rty, 02 Jun 2024my question exactly.
Wanted to buy the a34 last year, wa... moreI have not heard of overheating with the new A35 or A55. I suppose if you live in a country with 30c+ heat and you place your device in a closed environment and doing multiple tasks with it then im pretty sure the temperature would increase.
But back to my question: Is the A55 worth the extra money for the "better" specs than the A35?
