Anonymous, 08 May 2024This is a perfect midrange phone, and the cons is not daily... moreIn my country there are discounts on the S23 Fe costs the same as this and that is a much better phone with a brighter display, better processor, a telephoto camera, wireless charging etc.

      I got A55, i too thot the fingerprint sensor was not very good.
      Guess what it works quite well in a feather touch way rather than ,actually trying to force it to open with the fingerprint..

        FINALLY after more than 2 years Samsung created A52 successor. It was so silly that both A53, and A54 were inferior to A52.
        The starting price is way too high, but let's see how it wil ldrop in the comming months.

            Ok got mine A55 and I upgraded from A53, with 80 Euros cashback from Sasmung 256Gb model costed me 320 Euros, I would say quite fine considering I can still sell my A53 256Gb for like 120...so then getting an upgrade for 100 Euros is totally worth it.

                This is a perfect midrange phone, and the cons is not daily breaker like :
                - No charger in the box and not very fast to charge (you can buy original 25 watt fast charger only for 10 USD)
                - Unreliable fingerprint reader performance (still acceptable)
                - Thick display bezels (still acceptable)
                - The virtual proximity sensor for turning off the screen during calls is not as good as a physical one (still acceptable)
                - Expensive at launch (the price for 8/256 only 341 USD)

                  1989 nothinghappened, 27 Mar 2024Finally a worthwhile soc upgrade over a52s, too bad it took... moreTrue... Coming from A52

                        GugaFolt93, 05 May 2024I'm seeing a lot of controversy about the A55's s... moreIt is UFS 3.1. I got 1733 MB/s read and 1319 MB/s write on Antutu Storage test.

                          I'm seeing a lot of controversy about the A55's storage type. In the Antutu Storage Test it says it is UFS 3.x (3.0 probably). In the same test with A54 the result is UFS 2.x. Both 128GB

                            Ron, 30 Apr 2024It's a pity. But none of the top flagship phones offer... moreI hope you are right.

                              During the dawn of time(Samsung Time), we were told, "come brethren of the S series and gather close to our savior Master Samsung!" He and He alone will grant you everlasting life because you are all S series Flagship owners! WE ARE YOUR BELIEVERS, we screamed as we fell to our knees in worship!
                              Wow, I don't know about other S20 owner's but I feel like a lamb being led to slaughter. I guess I will be pretty good with some garlic, rosemary, thyme and a pinch of cardamon, nestled in a bed of celery, carrots and shallots! Never again Samsung! I'm purchasing an LG or a Pixel today. Then I'm FedExing my S20 Plus 5G to your HQ where it will be doused in lighter fluid and burned to a crisp! HEY S21 OWNERS, PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE YOU ARE NEXT! The implementation of planned obsolesce is moving right along according to schedule!

                              I refuse to change! SADS20PLUS
                              There is NOTHING OBJECTIONABLE in this post! Everything is purely IMHO!

                                  Don't buy Samsung mobiles. Samsung is cheating costomers. After security updates DISPLAY will get vertical lines. My humble request to all costomers don't buy Samsung mobiles.

                                    Purchased a samsung a55 5g previous phone hauwaei y9 prime . The a55 5g is light years ahead .I love that I very rarely use the power button. Don't miss headphone jack. A great phone $799 in nz.

                                      Barrowboy, 05 Apr 2024Surely it has a DAC. Maybe not a good one, but how else doe... moreIt doesn't. Same as the A54 (the A53 was the last phone to have a DAC).
                                      Both the phones don't support Hi-Res audio with compatible, original, 3.5mm to USB-C adapter. And adapters that don't have a DAC doesn't work for this phone and the A54 too.

                                        They really ruined the A5X series did they? They were my go-to phone because of the size and how well rounded they were compared to Xiaomi (eww) or Oppo phones in that price bracket.

                                        Bought the A55, haven't felt a "big" difference between it and the A54 however the display size is homongous width-wise. Only lasted 5 days with this one before going back to the A54 and it's 6.4" display.
