17 March 2024
Their predecessors rivaled the Galaxy S series for popularity, so these have big shoes to fill. And they do bring some major improvements.

Too heavy, still only 25w charging, no LTPO, no wireless charging. I am not buying it.

        Well, yet again it's time for honest answer: no and no.

        As for a55 - it's too pricey, really. It's too much. You can get, say, a 13t pro for that much and be happy with display, performance, camera.

        As for a35 - there are better midranges out there, far way better. Say, realme 12 pro +.

          phooone, 17 Mar 2024Why didn't Samsung use latest ARM cores? Also, there i... moreExactly. They could've at least used Cortex-X1 or Cortex-X2 cores.

            AlexS, 17 Mar 2024Makes no sense. Too expensive for what it offers.Or in other words, what it doesn't offer.

              If A55 had better processor, I could have it. As is, Oneplus Nord 3 is better in same price level.

                phooone, 17 Mar 2024How is Infinix phone user experience? the f if I know. but they look flashier and have more interesting hardware.

                  •S25 Ultra — 3-10× variable periscope telephoto with macro
                  •S25 and S25+ — 3-5× variable periscope telephoto with macro
                  •A56 — 3× telephoto

                  Some might see the lack of an S25 FE here, but I personally don't think the FE series should exist, since it's too close to both the price of the A5x series and the S2x series. If it has to exist, though, then the S25 FE should have a 3× periscope telephoto with macro instead.

                  Also, every phone from the A36 to the S25 Ultra should have macro on the ultrawide.

                    phooone, 17 Mar 2024How is Infinix phone user experience? On the Zero Ultra, Zero 30 5G and Note 30 Pro 4G, it's pretty great, the UI is smooth and very customisable, and the battery lasts very long on all 3 of them, cameras are great too on the Zero series, the Note's camera is ok for it's price.

                      A35 is inferior compared to a54.
                      Zero reason to buy.
                      A55 is basicalky a54 with new crappynos

                        No neither

                        Because if you really muat have a Samsung in my country, S23 FE is 22 euro more than A55 now, S23 is 118 euro more than A55.

                        And on the lower end, A54 goes for 330 euro and A34 for 242 euro.

                        IF you really want a Samsung, I mean honestly if I wanted a cheaper phone, Pixel 8 is 549 euro, and Pixel 7a is 366 euro.

                        And I am not even starting about what value Motorola or Xiaomi/Poco can give if you don't care as much about updates.

                          The A55 become bloody expensive in my country. The A54 was around 403 USD and now the A55 is around 468 USD 😳🤦🏻‍♂️

                                  Why didn't Samsung use latest ARM cores? Also, there is no innovation at all. It's so boring.

                                    having switched from an A53 to an S21 FE, there's no way I could give up having a telephoto lens. it's just too good. I feel like the A series should either get real telephoto cameras or ditch the macro cameras and stick to two lenses only. if nothing else, it would be a smart business move by Samsung because it would shift people towards the S series by having a visual distinction.

                                      For these prices, there are better alternatives, either in the Samsung lineup or other brands. Wait a couple of months or check elsewhere.

                                        I totally doubt if the AMD GPU will bring any meaningful performance to the new phone, so just stick with the A54. Also, it's still a better buy than A35 as well.
