Weekly poll: is the Samsung Galaxy M55 the right mid-ranger for you?

14 April 2024
With some impressive specs that stand out even with the S-series in the background (and some less impressive stats), the M55 has a lot of potential. 

Sort by:

According to YouTube reviews. It has heating issues and stops video recording when it's too hot to record.

    Well duh, even the 778G offers a much better performance efficiency than the failure 7G1, and with nothing more to offer the A55 is much more appealing than this failure M55, if not for the price
    Id consider samsung phone if they at least bundled it with charger, screen protector and case and Ill disregard the higher price than what spec they offer because they dont injected ads inside their OS unlike all those chinese OS

      MindTheGap, 14 Apr 2024Ah yes, a slow bloaty rebranded TouchWiz UI is better than ... moreThe slow and technical illiterates repeating their irrelevant talking points in 2024. Noted.

        Said specs are weird even for Xiaomi note line nor Samsung it self.
        But a 45W charging along with 12GB ram is very welcomed.
        All i miss now is a 7000 mAh cell like M50 and M51 and maybe an SD 8s gen 3 on this thing othervise no complains.

          Samsung isn't worth buying. It's just hyped up, average stuff

            MindTheGap, 14 Apr 2024Until you realized that most people simply don't care ... moreI was still running Android 9 in 2023 end of April. As my phone only got 1 OS update and i used the phone for 5 years, so 3.5 years i had no updates at all.

            Update dont change anything on phone usage. It's just a number change on OS and for Apps that just some point lose support. As of now even games like Asphalt 9 is supported in android 9 as they just stopped support for android 8.

              None of those statements are even true except the second and third one, which doesn't matter because more sales ≠ better product.
              Tesla has the highest sales of electric cars, but that doesn't mean they produce the best electric car.

I have that one friend who still runs Android 10 on his Note10 even in this 2024 simply because he doesn't need the latest software version. Also that one friend who never updated their iP13 Pro to iOS 16 just because iOS 15 still works fine for him. I can give you another example if you want.

                  A lot of bad things- 1st. Bad Processor - If Samsung thought, they would have used 7 Gen 3 or 7s Gen 2 at INR 20K but no They like always milk money out of customer, fooling customers is their policy.

                  2nd. No In-box Charger - Providing 45W is good but not having it in the box is bad. They still give In-box Charger for A0x , M0x & F0x series but won't provide you above it from A/M/F 1x series.

                  3rd. No Real Great Innovation - No 7000mAh / 6000mAh , No 100MP camera , No Telecam , No Value for Money pricing. Sorry Samsung people will not buy.

                  4th. No Storage Increment - 8/128 , 8/256 is there why will anyone go for 12/256 instead should have 12/512 gigs.

                  5th. Software Update Issues - Tech Reviewers & Experts get good optimized phones for better battery life but when you buy you'll face battery life issue. If you don't then after 1-2 update, battery life is lessened.

                  So, yeah no reason to buy & believe it to be best. Just one thing to appreciate - 45W Charging Support is a great Welcome rather than that begone....

                    Samsung M55 5g is the most overpriced Smartphone of the year 2024 as the Processor they have provided is quite old..

                    And Secondly, Samsung should have provided 6000 Mah Battery🔋 instead of providing 5000 Mah Battery 🙄 which basically drains a lot in heavy gaming and doing multi-tasking..

                        Even if i would want this M55 then i would not get it cause it's not made for global market.
                        Never mind that samsung is too expensive for what it gives you. There flagship phones are only in the right price. This A55/M55 should all be under 350 euro cause they give budget middle class hardware like this 7 gen 1 that is basically like SD605

                        At the price they sell this M55 or A55 these phones should have at least SD 8+ gen 1 performance in them to make sense. It's better to get second hand S23 for the same price

                          Realme ui is top and clear and friendly, whilst hyper os seems good too. Received the update yesterday.

                          Hopefully Chinese brands would provide competitive specs even more, as it gets more obvious that Samsung is overpriced.

                            Poco X6 Pro exists. Enough to blow anything out of the water at that price point. Nothing 2a is mediocre at best, downright criminal at worst, given how much it is shilled everywhere. OP Nord CE4 is mediocre as well. Moto Edge 50 pro is another one that could have been much better. It'd be wiser to wait for Poco F6. Wonder if there will be a Nord 4 as well. Samsung has stopped trying in this mid-range segment long back. They can just bribe the reviewers to fantastic sales after all.

                                Personally, the lack of IP rating made the M series a no go for me. Despite me thinking OneUI is great, some sort of IP rating imo is important for a portable device. At least do an IP53/54, which should be easy to do.

                                  M55 - 30k

                                  Moto edge 50 pro - 32k

                                  I'd say the 2k difference is absolutely worth it considering you get

                                    Me and my badly optimized S24 Ultra makes me change it to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra because I tried it before where I had both MI 11 Ultra and S21 Ultra and I have no doubt my Mi 11 Ultra was way better in most ways.

                                      HopeFilledIdiot, 14 Apr 2024The Moto edge 50 pro is leagues better than this phone.And nearly double up in price. But I agree those Sammy phones are... Nothing 👌🏻

                                        Samy has used quite an old chipset whilst others are introducing their phones with SD 7 Gen 3
