26 March 2024
The phone also has a much larger vapor chamber for improved cooling compared to its predecessor.

        I'll look into it though. In the meantime, if you have any info/article on this it would be apreciated

                They should have just gone for a good Snapdragon processor (not made by Samsung themselves tho).

                    with such a cooling solution i can keep my pentium 4 happy while keeping my castle warm at night,big cooling excessive heat=exy-worst

                      exynos 1480 restore my trust for samsung. I have been using the a55 for 1 week. and I am very satisfied. it's just that the price is still high. even though in my country Indonesia is one of the cheapest, IDR 6000k = 380 USD for A55 8/256. with promos and cashback it can go down to IDR 5450k = 345 USD

                          Jon8652, 26 Mar 2024This is good but hardware is still sub-par for the price this is false right now when tou can buy an A54 (8/128GB) brand new for under 300 euros here in Europe. What do you want to spend for an overall very good midrandger?

                            You are just salty that your lovely chinese phone has lower benchmark score than Exynos 1480, and runs warmer than Galaxy A55.

                            Just accept the fact that Galaxy A55 is more superior than any latest chinese midrange phone today. Hurtful truth for any chinese phone user.

                            Otherwise you would embarrass yourself everytime you made a comment not based on reality👍


                              I guess this explains the bulk and the weight? So the Exynos has "bad" thermals that they need those vapor chambers, resulting in heavier and builkier design?

                                there may be a way to modify this phone with intergrating with cooling fan and heatsink. like the modified Mi 9 Pro, no more worries about overheating. and you can do so much more than just playing candy crush and scrolling tiktok and fb..

                                  That copper chamber has the size of the Poco F2 Pro. Is brutal and should be stable at least...
                                  Too bad don't have Dex mode, it would be perfect for emulators.

                                    This is good but hardware is still sub-par for the price

                                      But it'll be a 0/10 if software lock poses as TROLLING.
