[deleted post]I had A70 from 2019 and right now i bought A55. Because A70 was amazing phone for low price. And just right now it dropped hard and do not turning on. So i decided to buy new phone and without big considerations i chose Samsung and A55. Because i have a lot of things from Samsung: TV, headphones, watch and etc. Eco system. I did not thought to see any other companies phone at all. I had Chinese products in past. I have OnePlus Nord 2T 5G phone right now too. I got it like a gift. So i can say honest about Honor 200 Pro it's your mistake. It cost much more as A55 and finally you will get the same problem like getting many people - lazy OS support. I got the same problems. Chinese do not want to fix OS, because it cost a lot of, they doing that very hard and like lazy man which always pushing problems away. Many people complaints about that. Believe me Chinese phones many people buying and many people later sorrow about their decision. Right now there are two best phone's brands i think: Apple and Samsung. Selling report i think showing that. If you still believe that A55 is worst as Honor check GSMArena compare here - https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=13049&idPhone2=12824#diff-: IP67 against 65, aliumini frame, Gorilla Glass Victum+, Super AMOLED from Samsung i think always will be better as others display and etc. Yes i agree Chinese doing long lasting battery life as Samsung advertising, but after several months, maybe year all specifications of Chinese phones becoming trash. The same was with Huawei, Xiaomi and etc. They all good first days, but later they becoming bugs and issues collections, slow and etc. My friends had Huawei P20 Pro (2018) it's flagship with this time advertised very good camera. After year my A70 did better photo as Huawei P20 Pro with Leica if i remember right. Finally they agreed with me that Huawei was mistake. I was surprised too, i wanted to have Huawei too, because it did good impression for me in 2018, but I'm glad that i chose Samsung. That would be my mistake in 2019. Right now Samsung i think is the best company for Android and question it is not the best overall in phone market at all. You writing: "The reasons not buying A55 are: Charging speed is slow for A50 (2 hrs. to fully charged from 0% without using while charging). A55 slow charges at 25w." I had the same A70 with 25 watt. I charged phone 1 h. 40 min. yeah it's long time, these days it's long time. But if you really care your battery life you have to know that discharge battery need to 40% maximum, so charging time is not so long. From 40% to 80 or 100% i charging about 1 hour or less time. Really i do not seeing it, because i doing that time something. And time going really fast i seeing that my battery is charged to 100% less that hour. To discharge to 0% is big mistake. Your battery never will not be good if you will do not care of it life. My Nord 2T 5G i charging also from 60 to 100 or sometime from 40 or 50 to 100, i do not using it. So when i see that need to charge and is less than 60% battery i charging it and it have 80 watt. So i know how cool is fast charge and Samsung 25 is not fast charge compare with OnePlus. But believe me i better will charge my phone 1 hour but i will have better phone with better battery (Nord 2T is LiPo battery, A55 have Li-Ion) neither worst phone with worst battery. You writing:"No infra red and real proximity sensor." This is old sensor which do not using most big companies not from China at all, so this is not lus, this is minus. Why need infra if most devices right now is controlling with WiFi or bluetooth? This your reason is strange. You writing:"Auto brightness is slow to response in A50, not sure abt A55." - what? auto brightness working fine i do not saw any problem with that till now. For me fast reacting into ambient light. You writing:"Not expecting plastic back cover cracked though it happened after 5 yrs." - A55 have back and front glass Gorilla Glass Victum+ one of the latest and aliumini frame. You writing:"No charging adapter is provided." That doing most or maybe all companies right now. It's shame, but this is not just Samsung problem. You writing:"Prefer snapdragon processor." I read somewhere that Exynos this processor is surprising good and compare with somehow model (i do not remember models names) is better. When i thought to buy new phone i'm afraid too of Exynos. Snapdragon is better we all know that, but Exynos this model which is in A55 it's really not bad. I'm surprised too as some people which wrote article. There is no any head, it's fast and Call of Duty i'm playing on maximum settings. You writing:"I know Honor 200 pro is more expensive, but time to experience sth different." Yeah that's true, that's why your mistake. You can easily with these money to buy Samsung flagship with better processor, glasses and etc.

Anonymous, 27 Jun 2024I'm just saying I agree with your opinion except for s... moreBy the way GSMArena saying that A55 sound speaker is not bad too https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a55-review-2684p3.php and compare with A54 is a little bit louder. I understand that some people like to get maximum from all things, but do not request from mid range maximum. Yeah, yeah, you writing about A52, but as i wrote i can't compare with A52, but i can say just one thing some elements can be better in older things. But you have to look into present time, not past. A52 maybe is good phone, maybe was good phone. But right now i think better is overall A55. Because is newest with newest features and updated all part i hope. Maybe sound speakers have less volume, but maybe they sound better if we see into quality? GSMArena writing that:"A score of -25.6 LUFS earns the Galaxy A55 a "Very Good" rating in terms of loudness.". Maybe that's a point is it? Live these days, not into past.

Anonymous, 27 Jun 2024I'm just saying I agree with your opinion except for s... moreI did not had A52 and i can't compare with A55, but i have OnePlus Nord 2T 5G. It have stereo speakers too. Both phones sounds loud and doing good impression. Maybe they are not the best, because always will be better, but for me it's really good result, enough to watch video, play games and etc. Keep in mind this is not portable speaker, this is phone and most time people phone using with headphones, so stereo speakers keeping in mind that this is phone is not bad i think and it doesn't matter how cool is A52. Always will be better. Also did you tried Dolby Atmos, Adapt sound, UHQ and ect.? These effect helping to get better sound. For me it's enough. You can say that maybe i'm did not had better phone with stereo speakers, but i have enough time with music to understand that this phones stereo speakers is not very bad. Maybe A52 is louder, but sometime louder it doesn't mean better. For me enough volume for everything: to paly game, to call and to speak with someone and etc. I think A55 is really good phone and it doesn't matter how cool is A52.

Been using A50 since Jun 19, 2019.
The phone is in good condition, except the plastic back cover cracked and fell off recently.
I'm very keen on buying A55.
But finally opts for Honor 200 pro.
The reasons not buying A55 are:
1) Charging speed is slow for A50 (2 hrs to fully charged from 0% without using while charging). A55 slow charges at 25w.
2) No infra red and real proximity sensor.
3) Auto brightness is slow to response in A50, not sure abt A55.
4) Not expecting plastic back cover cracked though it happened after 5 yrs.
5) No charging adapter is provided.
6) Prefer snadragon processor.
I know Honor 200 pro is more expensive, but time to experience sth different.
I would have bought Honor 9x back in Jun 2019, if not of the sanction.
A50 does serve me well for 5 yrs as I'm not big gamer and don't take a lot of photo.
In fact, A5x has not improved as much as price has risen as time passed for 5 yrs.
Time to move away from Samsung!

Still a solid phone with outstanding build quality. It's just that the speaker is not worthy of 10/10. It's a downgrade compared to the A52. It's more like 7/10 imo.

B... moreI agree with that too. Discover Samsung if you really wants to know what's real smartphone is it.

Performance - 10/10

Signal Strength - 9/10

Screen Quality 10/10

Samsung doing more as 5 years a amazing phones: S series phones is one of the best in the market. A series phones is strongest in mid range section. Who still thinking about Chinese phones probably never tried REAL phones. Discover Samsung and you definitely will forget Chinese phones.
P.S. Real phones i mean phones which have to look with full OS support, specifications and etc. 5 years i counting from A50 and A70 phones which was one of most sold phone in 2019 in all world. This comment is just my opinion. Any posted minds is just my thoughts.

Those who are making a lot of complaints don't know anything about mobile technology. This is a solid solid mid-ranger that has an outstanding build quality compared to its Chinese rivals. I will never buy a China-made phone again because the real issue with them is software support and long-term durability. Cheap as they come they're practically a scam.

Anonymous, 25 Jun 2024Never get update it can slow the mobile Phone Yeah i heard too, that Apple with theirs iPhones doing that. Also recently i read in technologies websites that Samsung was caught too with some slower phones after updates (can't remember which S class models was, maybe S24, but probably older one). But if i remember correct Samsung promise to fix that and did not hide problem. Differently as people saying Apple doing that special slowing theirs older models for reason to buy new. How many true is in these stories i don't know. But i can confirm one fact, that in my circle of friends, family and etc. was two the same Samsung A70 phones. Mine was not slow after 4 - 5 years, the same smooth i played Call of Duty mobile (not on higest settings as i doing now with A55, but anyway good settings), the same worked fast as probably from first day and etc. Second, one became slow, but human which have this one doesn't care for him like I did. So based on these cases i think that maybe is some cases when manufacturer after update make phone slower, but probably it's mistake if this is not consistent action. But i think user itself have to do everything that phone would be smooth and fast too: clean trash, restart it as need, do not install too much apps or do not add too much files and etc. Sometime clean memory and etc. Simple things, because after many years phone accumulates the file that needs to be removed: trash, unused and etc. I think we can't say that 100% all manufactures doing that and 100% all phones after updates will be slowsly. Of course keep in mind that new updates giving new features, so sometime can make effect these features too. For example in A70 AR call background working slow, in A55 working smooth. And that's from first days when this feature came to A70 or is in A55 now. So there is many things in this and i do not recommend just for rely on theories of conspiracy and skip updates.

Dilyan, 23 Jun 2024What storage type uses 256GB version, 2.1UFS or 3.1 UFS ? a... moreI tried today with my Samsung A55 (256 GB) version (Europe) to check which UFS version is 2.1 or 3.1, but sadly i did not got any answers. But now i found this link https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/Tech-Talk/More-leaks-on-a55-5g-before-its-launch/td-p/15658104 which saying it's 3.1 version. It's India location, they using the same processor and etc., so maybe the same is UFS like in Europe. Sorry, but this information probably can just say only Samsung people, because many people saying different information like and experts. So to hard. Anyway it doesn't matter, anyway it's fast, smooth good phone. So relax and enjoy it.

The update schedule is not followed. Lower models received the security update in June. A new May update is coming to this device. Moreover, while the screen color depth adjustment option was introduced for the A35 model, this device still does not have this feature, which creates Samsung regret.
