Samsung Watch6 Owner, 30 Jun 2024""4 years of updates" is an irrelevant argum... moreThis is no longer the eMMC age. 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.

Gino76ph, 29 Jun 2024Very frustrated with buying this phone. The speakers sound ... more"The speakers sound muffled" - Try effects in audio settings. I do not have any problem with sound.
"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?

OpposedScroll75, 29 Jun 2024"4 years of updates" is an irrelevant argument fo... moreThe Redmi note 13 Pro Plus is the only Xiaomi phone at this price point to offer water resistance, and it only has 3 years of updates. (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

In Samsung A70 was 3.5 jack, i thinking did i used any time it. I'm still have headphone in my bag. I did not took it from bag. Wired headphones probably better transmit sound, but they are wired, wires get tangled and etc. That's why i always choosing wireless headphone.

It's true that the A55 is a decent midrange option, but it's only that, decent. There are phones with much better hardware at the same or even lower price.

I still miss the headphone Jack. Now we have to buy an adaptor if we want to use our headphones. It's ridiculous that the lowest end smartphone don't need to use an adaptor, but we mid-range and flagship's owners need to buy an adaptor if we want to use their headphones.
I know wireless or usb C headphones exists but most headphones will keep using 3.5mm audio jack.

Sorry i something do not understanding about that. I understand what you mean about sound. Some text i wrote overall, is not just about you. Sorry if i wrote something misunderstanding. You wrote your opinion which i respect, i just wanted to say that i agree with your theory that older model can have better volume, just wanting to say that A55 maybe have less volume, but maybe is fixed something in audio section at all. Sometime, as i wrote, more volume it's not mean better sound. A55 is very good phone and maybe i'm just a human which don't care so picky everything in devices. That's why i mentioned effect and etc. I activated it too most effect. I'm glad that you found these setting and right now you like A55 too. It's really good phone, but it's mid range, so always can be better models.

Samsung Watch6 Owner, 27 Jun 2024By the way GSMArena saying that A55 sound speaker is not ba... moreI never said the A55 is bad. I said I agreed about your opinion of the build quality, performance, etc, except for the 10/10 speaker because I think the older A52 was better. If I rate A52 speaker 8/10 then this was 7/10.
Now, I actually have been playing around with the EQ for awhile and I take back what I said. After playing around with the EQ, I think the speaker is better than the A52's. I rate the speaker after changing the EQ 9/10. So yeah, I now like the A55's speaker after playing around with EQ.
(Btw my EQ settings is maxing out the 125, 250, and 500 hz to 10dB)
