Camera section should be more improved. I compared my new A55 with my previous A52. Somehow, I practically felt, my 3y-o A52 is giving more pleasing images than A55. Better dynamic range, well textured shadow parts and so on. Colour in selfie isn't so accurate. It's kinda yellowish! Especially, dynamic range of A55 is not so good according to the price segment, plus nighttime texture is missing. I hope, Samsung will push a software update to improve these things in top midrange device A55. In my opinion, camera isn't optimized well like the previous gen A series. A52 has better details than A55 in shadow parts.

I hope, Samsung will work on this serious issue faced by all A55 users.

        Recently bought Samsung A55. I am not at all happy with the phone. It automatically takes back up of the photos and videos in the phone every other day, even of the photos and videos that have been deleted. The backed up number of the photos and videos keeps increasing everytime. Even after deleting the back up the same photos and videos are backed up again the next time. It happens every 6-10 days. It is a sheer waist of time and energy to keep deleting the videos and photos again and again every other day. The phone itself is not very user friendly. I will not recommend it to anyone.

          Question - is this configuration available in the A55: eSIM AND nanoSIM AND microSD card slot, all for use at the same time? (eSIM - home carrier, nanoSIM - roaming carrier, microSD card from my previous phone).

              Nice review! One thing, the camera of the A54 is the 50mp Sony IMX766 sensor, so that's a different camera or you people made a tiny mistake in this review. The review mentioned that the two have the same camera and the A55 main sensor is 50 MP Sony IMX906?
              I believe that's different...

                      The display of A55 is not as good as A30
                      I bought A55 to upgrade from A30 but the screen quality is highly disappointing. A30 has great contrast soothing white levels. But A55 has very much whiteness no natural colors as compared to A30. Are there any other phones which has better AMOLED display with natural colours 🤔
                      I won't be buying another Samsung now.

                        I didn't really buy this phone for the specs I needed something that worked.

                          Google can go love themselves... I'm sick and tired of 7a issues: poor battery, overheating, missing calls... The A55 sucks too: no wake screen for notifications, subpar cameras... BUT, at least, it works as a PHONE! My dad's A54 has been woking flawless since he bought it... I've said it before: Google QC is "unmatched", especially that they're made you know where...

                              HOWEVER!!! I was using Google's "Phone" app.
                              Was expecting a bit more from camera, though. After all, main sensor is the same found in Honor 200: IMX906, at 1/1.56". I'm presuming Samsung is using different image algorythms for different phones. S24 has same characteristics, but images turn out sharper. But, in all fairness, can't really blame them. Midrange phone, midrange camera experience, almost premium UI experience. Yep. UI is super smooth and feature-rich.

Instead, it uses software called virtual proximity sensor to perform this task. This type of sensing works when u lift ur mobile in a specific angle towards ur ear. So the problem is inherent. U may however control this by making a habit of lifting mobile in a right direction

                                      I have been using Samsung A52 for the past 3 years. Experience was good. Now iam thinking of buying a new Phone and A55 is on the list.
                                      Do you guys think it would be a good upgrade and those who have been using can share their experience.

                                        you could write in the pros/cons section (as you did with the Galaxy S10 back then) that the fingerprint performance issue has been fixed via software update, just to be correct
