If you use your phone for regular tasks (no hardcore gaming) & you don’t care about:
- Wireless Charging / Dex mode / Telephoto Zoom / 4K60 Video / IP68 (over 67) / Hardware proximity sensor (over virtual)

The A55 is a clear winner, battery differences are huge! + extra year of updates + slightly thinner bezels + microSD slot for my fellow game emulation lovers out there! (Samsung knew it will cannibalize sales of S23 FE & therefore chose not to release it in the US)

But I’ll wait until Mid-August (when the A5x prices typically drop according to price trackers) & get the White/Pink. 👌🏻 (It’s important to note how the Pink variant will run out of stock fast just like the Purple A54, so keep that in mind if you’re planning to gift this color to your mom 😁)

          A55 has better cooling than the aggressive 8G1. You are trading down that extra CPU and GPU power, Dynamic AMOLED, higher brightness, the telephoto, 8K video (useless) and Samsung DeX. A55 has 12GB of RAM available, however. But still, A55 is more efficient but bulky at a price

                      Mollo, 15 Apr 2024The S23 FE also has a good battery life Yeah, maybe if you only make phone calls on it, and don't do anything else with it, in which case a feature phone would be the best option.

                        Well, S23FE is one step forward to me.

                                  Samsung is technically trying to sell the same phones for the last 3 years for the same price tag with only upgrading their cpu. Other major brands offering way better hardware for the same price.
