Might be wrong comparison, but how does the A55, S23 Fe fare against the OnePlus 12R which seems to have slightly better hardware in the same price range?

silversurfer, 15 Aug 2024Guys, which is a better value, S23 FE or A55?If battery is a must, A55. (A55 lasts 13 hours, whereas S23 FE lasts 8)
If cameras is a must, S23 FE.
But i think for most people the 13 vs.8 hours difference is huge.

Anonymous, 15 Aug 2024S23 FE is better, it's cutted high end phone version.Interesting. The A55 boasts a 5000mah battery while S23 Fe is 4500mah. How does the 2 compare in real world situations?
Plus A55 claims to offer 4 os upgrades while S23 Fe is supposedly upgradable only till Android 14(?)
My Note 4 has a display of 1440 x 2560 pixels. The S23 Fe and A55 is way less than that on paper at least. Whats the catch? Edge to edge dimensions is the same as A55, only difference is newer phones takes up the entire screen than a portion of it on my Note 4.
Other than this, everything else is an upgrade.

Honestly, I think the US would still be better off with the A55 instead of the A35, which is basically just the A54 sized up with miscellaneous changes here and there. If they wanted the A55 to still sell well in the US without cannibalizing the sales of their flagships, they could still keep the same $450 retail price as the A54.

Battery life on this thing has been impressive. Constantly getting over 8 hours SOT across a day and a half. Solid two to three days if I don't use it heavily. I'm the first one to call out on Exynos and Samsung fab process, but credit where it is due. I don't know what changed this time but decent stuff.
That's for regular usage though. I still think it can be drained fast in some scenarios like gaming or video recording, where it isn't as efficient.

The Galaxy A55 is a great all-rounder with almost everything you could ask for in a phone. So much to the point Samsung didn’t release it in the US because it would cannibalize their S series sales.
Consider it as long as you’re outside the US & you have the local variant available in your region. As unfortunately, the US doesn’t have a local US Version of the Galaxy A55 that works on all 5G CDMA carriers (such as Verizon). On Amazon US you’ll only find the “Latin American variant” which only supports 4G on specific GSM carriers. (such as TMobile)
If you got any questions, please let us know 👍

Weirdo, 14 Aug 2024I'm guessing he thinks about getting a better deal. Yo... moreThe phone camera is the least of my priority, and if I ever needed to indulge in that "hot babe undressing", Id rather pull out my R7 with 100-400mm. My Note 4 is very much still fully functional except when I turn on the internet. Thats when it gets jittery for a few minutes and freezes up. Once all the noifications are received on the phone, it starts working again. And of course, I cannot play COD or any other on it any more.

Tiramisu, 14 Aug 2024Do not buy the A55, instead buy the S24 Ultra or wait for t... moreThe S23/S24 and their sub-variants exceed my budget and the S's earlier than those would probably end outdated in a couple of years if not earlier leading me to upgrade once again. When I got the Note4, it was kind of a one-stop all-in-one in that era. In fact, the core hardware and many features still remain the same with improvements of course. Id even say 90% of PS apps are still available for my phone. However with newer brands entering the competition nowdays, Im no longer too worried about having to stick to one brand, as long as the one Im trading in offers me reliability.

- vivo ... moreNow there's a Vivo 40 and it's even better (except for the chip, the chip is the same chip as in the 30).
And yes, in terms of real world performance, if the SD778G which is 2-3 older than the E1480 and still superior to it, then the SD 7 gen 3 buries the E1480.

xconnex98, 14 Aug 2024if you can buy s24u, why even bother to think about a55I'm guessing he thinks about getting a better deal. You feel good if you're getting more than you paid for. However, it is not the case with phones, most of the time. There's a reason you're paying less for an A55 vs. a S24U. Now, of course, it depends on your needs and how much are you willing to accept some compromises. You see, the A55 is not that great when it comes to performance: it will stutter and lag from time to time and for very short periods. If you can live with that, hurray! If not... well, you need to look elsewhere. Also, screen is considerably better on S24U: not all AMOLEDs are the same. Not to mention cameras, charging, biometrics, some software features (DeX, Expert RAW). It's very difficult to consolidate the differences into actual value. Maybe someone can't live without DeX or the better zoom to spy on the hot babe at 10th floor who likes to undress with lights on (creepy). But I guess that's why these things exist: some people want them and are willing to pay for them.
