Also, the S24+ is a bit less wide and thinner. They all add up. S24+ really feels premium. A55 is premium-ish.

I just got the Galaxy a few days ago. Coming from a Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. My first impressions are that software is a lot more polished. The feeling is instant. It is also really smooth, minor jitters here and there ocasionally but the phone is blazing fast opening apps and doing every day stuff. Battery also seems to be a lot better but I need more time to test.
Cameras seem to be good, my Redmi has a strong main camera and I think it is still better than this one but the difference isn't huge. The other cameras are far better in the Galaxy though.
The screen bezels don't seem to be a major issue like people say, I got used to it quickly. Same goes for the screen colors which I think they're fine, but I've been using natural color profiles all my life. Fingerprint scanner is slower than Redmi's but I haven't had issues where it fails or something like that.
Size and ergonomics are real cons of this phone. It is way heavier and bulky, my Redmi is slimmer and lighter, more comfortable to use. I guess you get used to it but yeah, it is a brick.
Overall nice stuff, I was fed up with Xiaomi's MIUI 14 and HyperOS to be honest and this feels like a breath of fresh air. I will be selling the Redmi most likely and fully daily driving this soon.

Today's phones are so uninteresting that your only attention is this or the S24 Ultra

However, calling 390ppi a "big downgrade" over 403ppi is ridiculous. You'd need to have incredibly good eyesight just to notice the difference.

Just agreeing with you, because I think you also write a lot of truth. In my opinion, the only good thing about Chinese phones is that manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, Google, etc. must try to please consumers even more. I don't see anything good from Chinese manufacturers anymore, no benefit.

rssss, 18 Jul 2024Is A25 can receive a 5yr os update?First at all this is A55 forum, not A25. A25 is there https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a25-12555.php. Second A25 will not get 5 years OS update. Both models (A55 and A25) will get 4 years OS updates and 5 years security updates by SamMobile.

Samsung have released a fair share of problematic devices time from time, regardless if they're expensive or cheap.
I agree thinner bezels make a phone more prone to accidental touches, but they also make a phone more modern and premium. Looks matter just as much as function.
When Samsung, one of the world's largest manufacturers for OLED displays are still stuck with notches and thicker bezels compared to the rest of the competition, shouldn't they be ashamed?

The A56 with a 6.6 display, and the A56e or A46 with a 6.1 display, but otherwise with similar specs (besides for size, weight, and battery).

pane, 17 Jul 2024you forgot to list one more thing, how much you miss the an... moreI don't know about annoying ads, but users say that, Xiaomi especially, does not fix or is slow to fixing bugs/issuses of the operating system of their phones, the issue of spying on users has been discussed for a long time, after some time the phones become not so good and there are a lot of problems. These are just user reviews that throw those who have especially tried Xiaomi out. But after all, the specifications indicated on paper and the low price always look more exotic than things in reality. It's strange to me, how does a person change the company's product that he praises so much after 8 years? I've been a Sony user for years, but finally decided I'd give Samsung a try because I was tired of paying the same price for significantly less features than Samsung giving in theirs phones. I avoided Samsung for years, but Samsung has changed. one UI has become attractive, easy to use, etc. And Sony is not even among the top 5 selling phone manufacturers for a reason. Xiaomi sells phones because they are cheap, but a cheap product will always be a cheap product. We pay 400 euros for the phone because it is worth the price. Aliexpress also sells phones in China, why don't you buy them there? Because you know that a cheap product remains a cheap product. So stop talking about Xiaomi. After all, you yourself know that you buy them because they are only that cheap, not because they are good. If i couldn't to buy Samsung probably i would buy Xiaomi, OnePlus and other too. But that's not mean that Xiaomi is good. The same... with other name that's all.

BIOX, 17 Jul 2024Being on Xiaomi for the past 8 years, I desperately miss th... moreIf Xiaomi was so cool why you after 8 years decided to buy Samsung A55?
1. You can turn off screen manualy.
2. In Samsung A55 is always on display where is all missed notifications: calls, SMS, others apps and etc., there is vibration when you taking phone which information you about missed call, SMS and etc. There is Edge Lighting.
3. Samsung A55 support only 10 Watt or 25 Watt charging, charging with 65 Watt Dell charger can damage your phone, battery and etc.
4. Again if Mi so cool why you bought Samsung?
5. For me camera working perfect. I don't know about collecting from Samsung side, but Xiaomi spy you or any others Chinese's companies was written a lot of time. So strange from you side to talk about collecting when possible that you was spied at all.
6. Example please? For some apps need some permissions it's normal. How you can do photo or video with location information without permission of camera, microphone or GPS and etc.? The same is with other apps.
7. Looks like you had Sony phone too, so why you Samsung user now if Xiaomi was so cool, Sony did so cool photo (by the way Sony users claims Sony for bad quality of photo in mid rangers, not so happy in flagships too)
8. Again why Mi was changed into A55? So cool to not cool, why?
9. One UI one of the best the environment at all. Most people saying that One UI to use is very simple and is very easy ot understand. Again about permission to use some features need some permission. How you unlock your car without keys? That's the same how you can play music without permission to get music files of yours files?
10. I playing Call of duty which require a lot of resurse from phone, but never had hot phone. I have this phone more than month. Playing game almost everyday for some hours. 11. Battery if one of the best in this section for phones that saying most experts.
You can always take it your Xiaomi, where is problem? If A55 so bad sell it. Simple.
