Samsung selling very well in Europe or others market. Second, Samsung is one of the best-selling manufacturers in Europe, there is no need for protective glass if you follow the procedure set by Samsung. This also applies to other manufacturers.In some old phones i specially broken screen (i wanted to check how good is glass. Samsung screen was broken just a little bit, but from hard drop it do not turning on. Screen wasn't so much damaged as inside phone's michroschemes)), a protective glass from another manufacturer like Sony I broked special too, i anyway changed phone, was interesting how good is protection. I had it without any problems 3 - 4 years. Weren't any probelms with broken glass til i damage it special. Thirdly, protection glass made in China are often of extremely poor quality and break more than the glasses of Samsung and Sony phones. Fourth, Samsung A55 has one of the latest Gorilla Glass Victum+ glass. If you still have thoughts about tempered glass which some Chinese manufacturer giving for free or including in the price, then either you have something wrong or you have little understanding of the world of technology. One way or another, I suggest you stop making waves here and keep your childish pretensions to yourself. About charger, a lot of companies do not giving charger anyome, reason is to protect nature. I have charger the same, also giving cable which is part of charger, do not giving companies only adaptor which you can buy really with good price if you know how to find that. But with cable you can charge fast too from exmaple computer. Just activate fast charging in smartphone. 8K filming? How many people have and using 8K TV? What is a point to filming 8K if you anyway will use 4K or HD? These days 8K is just a trick of sellers and manufacturers. You can filming 8K and to watch yours filmed movies, but most services is not ready for 8K in all world. So silly reason i think is that.

              Samsung Watch6 Owner, 30 Jun 2024"The speakers sound muffled" - Try effects in aud... moreI always turn on Dolby Atmos and use my own custom EQ. In all Samsung phones i had the A55 speakers sound muffled. It's as if the phone has a cold. The sound could be better.
              The display on my older A52S is even better...the colours look livelier and more accurate than the A55.. Again, I changed the Display settings to Vivid and the advanced settings but It could be down to the chipset as the older model has a Snapdragon one.
              I do not do gaming on my phone. But basic tasks such as searching for a setting or feature, downloading & installing an app whilst connected to a fast 5G broadband at home is just not fast enough. Problem with Samsung One UI is riddled with bloateware, processes and unnecessary animations. Why does it have a Samsung Store where there is the Play Store already? Why can't we uninstall some Samsung apps? There is this annoying loading animation that's totally unnecessary. The optical scanner of the Samsung phones (including the S-line) still remain slow comparative to say a Xiaomi or a OnePlus phone. I could go on. All of these processes accumulatively are useless and contributes to the slowness and clogs in the UI & UX. You don't have to be a programmer or developer to see that.
              It's also useless to go to the Samsung Community website and Members app - you'll be lucky to received a response from a moderator or administrator. It's like talking to a brick wall. Samsung is so much into copying iOS and profits and tries their very best to not listen to feedback and doing things their way because of a "trend". I feel in the future this will backfire on them.

                Agus, 09 Jun 2024Nova launcher is very recomendedNova Launcher is still the most common one. Anything else you can recommend?

                  All aspects of this phone are tolerable. But really (~85.8% screen-to-body ratio) is a disaster. I'm still not convinced to upgrade my A52.
                  The screen-to-body ratio of the A55 is still a disaster and the biggest weakness of this phone. I will wait another year if the A56 phone has a screen-to-body ratio
                  It was more acceptable, I will buy it. If the same A55 disaster is repeated, against my will, I will migrate to Chinese brands for the first time. Samsung does not care about the opinions of its loyal fans.

                    What premium features? Nothing about the A55's components or software screams "premium" or "flagship".

                        Samsung Watch6 Owner, 30 Jun 2024""4 years of updates" is an irrelevant argum... moreYou failed to point out that the first thing you need to get when you buy a Samsung phone is a screen protector and case because they don't give it unlike other manufacturers, these phones are prone to scratches and badly need it. Oh and not to mention another charging cable that probably will be third party unless you own one. The SD is the only advantage I see from this. And exynos? Camera yes but at this price point it's competing with dimensity 8ks which are stronger.

Current phones can handle future OS upgrades that's why modern phone manufacturers rarely gives us anything special anymore because phones nowadays can handle pretty much everything with the only exception being games. Stop spreading false information here unless you're a paid hater from a rival manufacturer.

                            OpposedScroll75, 29 Jun 2024"4 years of updates" is an irrelevant argument fo... more""4 years of updates" is an irrelevant argument for the simple reason that the hardware isn't good enough to make you want to use the phone for more than two years, meaning you can't take advantage of the extended support." - Please don't write personal opinion as a fact because that's bullshit. 4 years of features and 5 security updates guarantee the latest features and security adapted to the hardware of this phone.
                            Also, both the A35 and the A55 offer IP67 rated Ingress Protection only, while the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ offers the full IP68 rating. - Xiaomi do not fixing so fast bugs/issues as Samsung doing, also IP67 or IP68 is not big different, because that this protection is for rain, not for diving. So for rain is not important which ratings is IP67 or IP68 it's just some meters different and few minutes more. That's all. So all your argument sound like child's, which do want to grown up, wishes which nobody care. There exists a line between presenting a sound argument and being a fanboy. - Your argument is silly and nobody care which think with head. Sorry for honest. This is my opinion about all complaints which most of you writing here. This phone is amazing, keeping in mind that this is just mid range model with premium features. I'm not Samsung fan, but 5 years ago i discovered it and happy that i buying right now theirs products. Most people doing like that, that's why Samsung in many section is leader or one of the best seller theirs products. So relax and skip this comment section if you don't like Samsung and go to Xiaomi where can write your nonsenses.

                              "The display seem somewhat inaccurate and washed-out" - inaccurate compare with who? My A55 have good display and everything looks great. I don't used any display's settings, just default.
                              "Performance is not good enough" - i playing Call of Duty Mobile on maximum settings, using volume just less than half. For me this phone working smooth and fast. I do not know where did you got this problem, but probably you are or very petty or, guys, you want things from mid rage which is in premium class phones. A55 looks amazing, working perfect (audio, display, performance and etc.) just enjoy it without any grunting.
                              I recommend to use A55 or other Samsung phone from A55 to S24 Ultra, because, my opinion, there are not better manufacturer or model for Android OS.

                                  Very frustrated with buying this phone. The speakers sound muffled, the display seem somewhat inaccurate and washed-out (even by changing the settings), performance is not good enough (downloading/installing apps and opening apps is a bit slow) and the body is wide that its difficult to hold or to put in your pockets.
                                  What other phones in the price range would you guys recommend?
                                  Nothing Phone 2a? Redmi Note 13 Pro? OnePlus Nord 3? Or something else?

(Keep in mind all the other Xiaomis in the redmi lineup don't have any water resistance)

                                      Samsung has been making water resistant mid-range phones ever since the A52. (2021)

                                      As for your claim that people don't use their phones that long... I think you're underestimating the number of people that are still using 5 year old phones from Samsung, Apple & many others. (Don't get me wrong, updates can slow down your device but you can always refuse to update on the third year & call it a day)

                                      The only other mid-range phones with water resistance & decent updates are Pixel phones, but those have bad battery life & aren't available internationally. I'm not a fanboy, these are just facts. Look it up for yourself. (This is not taking into perspective an even bigger issue which is: People's preferences for Stock Android / OneUI / HyperOS / ColorOS / etc...)

                                        Dear samsung your all phone's is good loking and build quality is also good , but I have issue with your phone specially A series , I request you to plz don't use exynos chip in A series phone . Exynos is very bad chip,Plz use Qualcomm, media take, chips .
                                        We don't want 4 year major update . ,... 2 year is ok
                                        But don't use exynos.
                                        Other brands give more powerfull chipset with same price segment. Your phone price is too high and phone performance is too bad specially exynos. Very very bad chipset. Don't use exynos in any samsung phone
