    Considering how iPhones are always at the top 5 best selling phones every year, if that mid-range iPhone ends up selling like hotcakes, maybe Samsung and other companies will join in and make compact midrangers to compete with.

        And nonetheless the S24 is $200 CHEAPER than the S24 Plus.

          This HowToGeek article states that most suppliers, who are responsible for the production of individual parts (CPU, RAM, memory, cameras, sensors, batteries, ports, etc.) in smartphones mostly only have readily available parts for big phones. If a phone company like Samsung wants to order parts that could fit in smaller phones, they'd have to make custom orders, which in turn can lead to increased manufacturing costs compared to manufacturing big phones.

          This is probably why Samsung decided it would be a better idea to make duplicates instead, especially when most of the duplicates are cheaper versions of their A-series devices meant for developing countries like India, Brazil, and Malaysia, where Chinese phones primarily dominate the low and midrange market with bargain prices.

          Samsung can of course still make budget compact phones, but if they fail to sell well, it will be a bigger loss for them compared to the duplicates. That's how I see it anyway.

            Guys, can we appreciate just how "decent" this phone is for the asking price? ;D
            But... I don't like the UI... Yeah, not for me. I'll remain a diehard Pixel fan, even if their lineup sucks and is super-expensive. :((
            I tried A15, A35 and A55. I can't... I just can't use any other phone. :((
            And... to be honest... Pixel does sound better than Galaxy. :D

              Of course they do. Just in Samsung's case those "reasons" aren't always based on logic, like making a bunch of "different" identical phones that makes no money. And on the other hand, sticking budget customers with a lack of choices while only catering to the rich.

Way to be an armchair analyst without actually knowing what's going on behind the scenes of Samsung's R&D department. Every company has reasons for making something that customers aren't necessarily aware of.

                  Just as the one person below mentioned, Xiaomi and Poco do the same, yet you and others don't bat an eye on them.

This explains five different so-called "models" that are basically the same phone: A55, M55, F55, C55, M55s. Other A series phones also have this silliness (though the amount of A55 twins outdoes all the others).

                      In your opinion, could I have any problems if I buy the 128/6GB version? It is very cheap in my country for what it delivers, the 8GB version is way out of my budget even if the price goes down in the future. Or are there better options in the R$1400 price range? Unfortunately I don't know how to convert it, it's in reais (Brazil)

The same would be a mid-range A series phone.

                            Anonymous, 18 Aug 2024The same percentage of rich people buying the compact S24 (... moreThe S24 Ultra still sold significantly better, making up 52% of this year's S-series lineup in sales, while the regular S24 only got 27%. This is enough proof that the majority of people prefer big phones.

                            With how fierce the competition is in the budget/midrange market, especially from Chinese companies, Samsung has no choice but to only make big phones in order to maximize sales.

                            If Chinese companies aren't making cheap small phones, why should Samsung? Before you answer, it's not just Samsung who makes duplicate phones either, Xiaomi does it as well with their Poco sub-brand.

                            The only company who still makes compact midrange phones is Sony with their Xperia 10 series, but Sony have long lost their relevance since the late 2010s, and their phones are no longer as widely available in many parts of the world.

You see, when companies decide on future products, they usually take some polls. I'm guessing the age of people questioned was between 16 and 35. And, you guessed it! A large percentage of them asked for big screens! That's why we have this situation today. Sure, there were voices that advocated for smaller screens, but I'm guessing that was less than 20%. So... yeah. 80% >> 20%.

                                  For the main camera, the A35 takes photos with more natural colors, while the A54 takes saturated photos. The A54 captures details slightly better, but the A35 has less sharpening. For video recording on the main camera, both phones are almost identical.

                                  The A54's ultrawide camera is 12MP and can record 4K 30fps videos, while the A35's 8MP ultrawide is limited to 1080p 30fps. Ultrawide video quality here is better on A54, especially in low-light.

                                  Finally, the A54 has a higher resolution selfie camera at 32MP, compared to 13MP on the A35. However, in my tests, the A35 has a slight edge in detail and colors.

                                      Yasir, 17 Aug 2024Please help me to choose between A35 and A54, because both ... moreThe only reason to get the A54 would be if you want a slightly smaller and lighter device and if you want esim support (depending on region). Otherwise, the A35 is better overall.

                                      - The SOC is better optimized and runs slightly better in A35 than in the A54.

                                      - Stronger signal/network reception thanks to updated anetanna design. Qualcomms are still better but the A35 gets by. The A35 also seems to do better on navigation tasks, if this is important for you.

                                      - They somehow managed to improve the battery life slightly in the A35, despite the same SOC and a slightly larger display. The A35 also seems to have better thermals i.e. runs slightly cooler.

                                      You won't notice a difference in the camera department.

                                        [deleted post]Where I live, both the A54 and A35 lack eSIM. So I'm considering to get an A55 instead, which does have eSIM.

                                        On top of that, the A55 also has a metal frame, which is very rare on a $400 phone these days. The A55 feels like a proper throwback to Samsung's A-series lineups during 2016-2018 when they focused on premium designs/features, but with more competitive specs this time around.
