Samsung Galaxy A55 review

Anonymous, 21 Apr 2024Currently I'm using an A54 which has the perfect size ... moreI tried the A55 and I hated the display size, not only is it taller (not an issue), it's wider by 3mm compared to the A54 which killed my one-handed operation.

Am back with the A54 and happier than ever because of the size.

    Got this phone a month ago. So far I'm totally happy with it. True, price at launch was high but I bought it from samsung directly and got 256 gb in price of 128 and it also came with cover and protective foil plus I used that trade in deal where I got 80 eur discount for giving up my 8 year old galaxy a5. I would say it was pretty good deal. Competition is strong but if you require lot's of storage memory via sd card than you have little to no choice than this. If you don't need the fastest processor / graphics available and care more about storage than I would totally recommend this phone.

        Currently I'm using an A54 which has the perfect size with a 6.4 inch screen, the A55 has a larger 6.6 inch screen which is too big for my liking. Other than thai's practically the same phone with a slightly faster processor. There are no extra band, wireless charging, nothing new really.

          Anonymous, 16 Apr 2024Not worth the money Only if someone is foolish enough to buy it at launch. There's gonna be loads of sub-300 dollar 128gb variants in the coming days. 😎

            77, 02 Apr 2024Much better off buying phones with s888 than this garbage ™®Are you sure? I have S21 FE and the battery is aweful.

              Andrsam, 09 Apr 2024Which phone is better - Samsung Galaxy A55 or Xiaomi 13T?I vote for 13t.

                      I bought it as a second device (well yes you can say it is an overkill) but as an owner of an 11pro I wanted something to use as a 5g modem, a slightly bigger screen if I want to watch something with more convenience and a music player to leave it for hours on my desk... I know I could buy an a15 or 25 or 35 but the aluminum frame won me because when on move it is thrown on my backpack suffering various mechanical stresses... as for the fingerprint sensor my last experience was the a50 which was a real pain especially if screen protector was applied so yes a55 sensor works like a cham for me. In conclusion I believe it is a good mid range and if priced around 400€ instead of 550 (8gb/256gb version) would be I great vfm...

                        I'm Using it since last 20days. Now I regret my decision. Samsung A55 is not worth the price. Battery charging is very slow (even after using samsung fast charging adapter)
                        Worst finger print sensor. It works only about 5times out of 100 attempts. Everytime you need enter pass code to unlock
                        My rating 2.5

Colors are way off, Xiaomi's problem for the longest time. The Leica branding is purely a gimmick. The worst camera on numerous phone's I have owned. The camera is real bad trust me.

                                    vs 13T: "It also has a better display, twice the storage by default, a snappier chipset, a better camera system with a telephoto unit, faster charging and similar battery life. It's not as good as the Galaxy A55's"

                                    Why isn't the 13T as good as the A55? What's worse with it? You list things where the 13T is better but then say it's not as good as the A55. Because?
