objectively there is something strange if gsmarena gave a score of 4.1 to the a55 and 4.3 to the a54... personally I think that Samsung could have done much more, as it did for the a52s 5g

Anonymous, 28 Mar 2024If you think about it calmly, this is the S20FE that was re... morei got both S20fe snapdragon 4G and new A55, i paid s20fe around 15% more than A55 around 3years ago.
Experience wise pretty much the same, performance wise s20fe still hold pretty well against A55 and other midrange on A55 price, size is something preference-personally i like s20fe better because it fell slimmer and easier to hold with 1 hand.
The gripe of s20fe is stuck at android 13, battery isn't good at it used to be (4-5hours sot @ 120hz, around 5-5.5 hours sot @60hz, used to be +1 more hours) and unfortunately my unit starting to shut down when battery reach less than 5%, and dimmer screen compared to A55.
IMO S20fe still good if you can get good unit around 25% less than A55.

Those cons are manageable. The os updates and ui experience is the key. And also the camera.

And if not, the beloved smartphone benchmarks decide the battle, A55 is an over 20% upgrade over A52s. Sure, it's not a 2 generational upgrade, but it is something.

The exynos 1480 is actually quite impressive and a big upgrade over its predecessor. However, apart from that the phone is very similar to last year's model in other areas

Photos look natural, not over processed or over sharpened. And I'm on the latest android version and security patch. I think people give it an unfairly hard time just based on its spec sheet.
Also the phone isn't laggy or slow at all, despite me having more than a 100 tabs open on the browser at times. I think people just look at the med range cpu on the spec sheet and bash it without ever using it :)

I ask, but is Samsung capable or not of making a software update to the cameras of the a55 and a54, or does the fact that they take lousy photos compared to the competition not really interest them?

The lack of AV1 support is a museum these days. Then it is not a smartphone that will last for years.

"The Mali-G88 MP5 GPU, however, has been replaced by the Xclipse 530 GPU, co-developed with AMD and based on the RDNA 2 architecture."
It is RDNA 2, but according to Samsung's official website, the A55 doesn't support AV1 decoding, or someone forgot to write about it. :/

778G was all about efficiency and battery life, there was sd 870, 860 and dimensity 8100 at that time but they fill different category.
7+ gen 2 is more of 870 successor for Enthuasist market.
