After using this phone for 3 months this is my review about it. I think this phone is a beast for its price range for all aspects except the camera, the material,the screen , battery, performance and anything else. Only two things are not good in this phone which are charging speed which I don't care about to much as I charge my phone at night with setting up battery protection. However, for the camera I am really disappointed, I expected much more from this phone. Of course in good light conditions, even an old nokia classic with 2 MP camera can take nice shots. For example comparing my old xiaomi redmi note 10 phone to this phone it appeared that my new A55 was not a superior upgrade for the camera when comparing the prices of both phones when redmi note 10 is a 170 USD 3 years old phone and samsung A55 is a new phone with price around 400USD. The 50MP A55 is worse than 48MP for redmi note 10, the latter takes more details and larger photo size, whereas in A55 it still a small size image with less details and not much different from the 12MP lens which should not be the case. And 2Mp macro lens is almost very close to the new 5MP macro lens on A55. But for the selfie camera I must admit it is much better and beyond expectations compared to even S24 series especially after activating some face finishes. I am not a gamer so what I wanted from this upgrade was a noticeable camera improvement from my old redmi note 10. But in most cases I didn't get what I wanted.

Here's my pros and cons of this phone after using it for 3 months:
PROS
- Clean, minimalist design with that distinct "Samsung" look. No oversized camera bump, stovetop-like lens arrangement, and pointless text such as "200MP Super Ultra OIS HDR++" like other phones.
- Flagship-like build quality and material choice
- IP67 water resistance
- Micro SD slot
- Bright and crisp AMOLED display with accurate colors
- Good everyday performance
- Good video recording with virtually flawless stabilization and no jitter
- Great software experience with lots of features and customization
- Frequent software updates and 5 years of support
- Great battery life, getting a maximum SoT of 8-9 hours depending on usage.
CONS
- Bulky and heavy
- Thicker bezels than the competition
- Average camera quality
- No telephoto lens
- Meh gaming performance
- No headphone jack
- Slow charging
- No wall adapter and case included in the box
VERDICT
The Galaxy A55 is a good mid-range phone as long as you're not an avid photographer or a hardcore mobile gamer. This phone truly feels like the A-series of old from 2016-2018, with the premium design and features.

I've been using Samsung A32 4G for about 3 years now. I'm not much of a phone gamer but I decided to play Plants vs Zombies 1. My phone couldn't run it, kept glitching and lagging. After this experience I realized I'll need an upgrade, didn't why buy a flash ship but I saw this phone and heard how cool it was. I wanna buy it but can it run Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel without issues or should I just buy a flagship?

jas, 05 Sep 2024i wish they make budget phones smallerAs many others wish as well. But Samsung won't give real choices to budget customers. Only if you're rich, then they'll cater to you. That's Samsung.

I've had 4 generations of A5X series (A50,A53,A54 and A55). To be frankly honest, after using M52 (originally planned to buy A52s but was out of stock sadly) and switching to A53 a bit disappointed me. But after A54, things seems improved more and more. I just browse some social apps with light gaming on the side. I think A55 is perfectly capable phone with of course added 4 year software and +1 year security patches. I like OneUI as well. I remember the disastrous TouchWiz (KitKat+) era and told myself not to get another Samsung. But after i tasted it on A50 i liked the whole new experience

Good phone overall. Not the best, if you are a heavy gamer.
But, for every day usage, casual gaming and videos is a good phone. And it feels premium in the hands, almost like S series.
Also the battery is really nice. I think Samsung did a good job with Exynos 1480 and it looks power efficient chipset.
The only thing that I don't like is the slow charging (70-75 minutes for full charge, with original 25W Samsung charger and cable). But, this is normal for Samsung phones. Still, it feels better charging than iPhones, Pixel phones and Sony phones.
Software support is also good. For now I get monthly security updates. Probably it will be like that for another year or two. Then I will get quarterly security updates for another year. In the end I will get 1 or two security updates per year. But I will probably sell the phone by that time anyway, because I don't want to change the original battery in it. I rather just sell it and buy the next models.
Compared this software support with Chinese phones, is much better. Chinese phones (except flagships), start with quarterly security updates. And after 1-2 years you just get 2-3 security updates per year, for another year. Then stop.

I owned Samsung a52 for 3 years, now I have A55 for 3 months, I will compare them and give you my oppinion.
A55 came in quality body, there is no more cheap plastics. Its beautiful design (my wife owns iphone 15 promax and they are the same dimesions).
Display is very bright on outside, I can clearly see everything even directly exposed on sun BUT A55 have the same resolution as A52 but with a bit bigger display, so when you compare them you will see that A55 needs more resolution, also at night with lower brightness A55 is very strange to watch to, seems like colors are mixing, in the dark A52 wins.
Speakers are way better in A55, so loud and quality, almost like iphone 15 promax.
A55 came with 120hz display and 5g so 500maah more in battery cant do much, I missed few hours from my a52, but Ok, sometimes at work Im non stop on 5g watching videos and I came home with 40% of battery so, its ok.
Back camera is the same, there is no difference, I used to upload vjdeos on youtube and they are the same quality with the same fps and resolution.
Selfie camera is upgraded, on a55 is much better than a52, I tried it near iphone 15 promax and for 1200€ difference it is amazing.
In general I like phones like this, because ai have all I need for low price, and I can change it every 2 years like a man
A55 also have latest updates and AI everywhere such as Samsung s24 series.
