Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G
Source: Nextpit EN EN→zh-CN
Samsung is apparently marching to its own beat in the intermediate market. The South Korean company seems pretty comfortable with its yearly incremental updates, and the market in general appears to be settled in the same rhythm, just look at the Redmi Note 13 family, the direct competitor to the Galaxy A phones. Of course, there are better options if you prioritize camera or gaming performance. But the Galaxy A55 is the same balanced and safe option for budget-conscious consumers that made its predecessors so popular to begin with. Just don’t expect the same premium experience and performance of the Galaxy S models. It would have been nice to see faster charging, a true camera upgrade, or more battery capacity, especially in light of the bigger dimensions. But the bigger display, more efficient processor, and especially the more premium design will probably be good enough upgrades for potential buyers, and also for the current mid-range market.

This year Samsung has kept things simple and minimal with the A55 5G, with the only meaningful upgrade being the new Exynos 1480 chipset, which is not even that much more powerful than the previous generation. There is also the tweaked design, dropping plastic altogether and adding a metal frame that makes the phone feel more high-end. If you don't mind the slightly lower performance and somewhat worse audio quality on the Galaxy A35, then you might as well go for that one, as it offers mostly the some user experience but for £100/€100 less. Of course, you have other options outside of what Samsung offers in this price range, such as the upcoming Pixel 8a, which might not be that much better in terms of performance, but might very well come with an even better camera system and even some Google AI features to boot.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 builds on the solid formula of its predecessors and expands on it in meaningful ways, blending a number of desirable features from flagship phones while adding enhanced security via their Samsung Knox Vault to the mix, all at a reasonable price point.

In the end, it's the price tag that keeps us from recommending the A55 outright. There are many sensible options around the same price point and even handsets at a much lower price with similar, if not better, user experience. And while it may sound like nit-picking, small things add up. For instance, we are very disappointed by the fingerprint reader; we are not fans of the virtual proximity sensor, and the thick screen bezels are off-putting. All in all, the Galaxy A55 is a good phone, but not at this price. We suspect other cheaper or similarly priced devices from Samsung itself will cannibalize Galaxy A55 sales unless its price drops significantly in the coming months. Then, it would be a rather easy recommendation.

While it is not a bad phone by any means, the Galaxy A55 does fall off in the performance department when compared to the OnePlus 12R (review) and the Vivo V30 Pro (review), which more or less cost the same. So if you are a heavy user or want a gaming phone, the Galaxy A55 might not be for you. However, if you like OneUI or want a phone that will last you almost half a decade, offers water and dust resistance and don’t mind the weight and average cameras, the Galaxy A55 might be a good choice.

The final question that I want to answer in this review is – should you buy the Galaxy A55? Actually, let me rephrase that – is the Galaxy A55 worth the price? In Malaysia it’s at RM1,999. I still think it’s a bit too high but Samsung Malaysia is perpetually having a sale for their phones anyway. If you can get the A55 at around – let’s say RM1,600, then I think it’s actually worth the price. Yes, it’s a mid-range phone but it’s a very capable phone. The photos taken at night is what surprised me the most. I think the A55 just takes better night shots than the S24 Ultra – at least during the firmware version during out test.

Samsung's Galaxy A55 is a mid-range phone with the Exynos 1480, 6.6-inch OLED screen, and a solid 50-megapixel main camera. It's the first Samsung A phone to get an all glass and metal build and Samsung Knox. There's a 5,000 mAh battery and IP67 water and dust resistance. The phone won't sell in the US but it's selling in Hong Kong starting at HK$3,400 and in Europe starting at about equivalent of 400 euro.

As an incentive to buy from Samsung directly, you also get a pair of Galaxy Buds FE (valued at $199) at no extra cost when buying the Galaxy A55 5G before 15 April. Plus, there’s a bonus $100 trade-in value when handing in your older phone before 4 April. It’s refreshing to see more features in a mid-range phone without a price increase to boot. There seems to be a lot to like about the A55, as it addresses pretty much every criticism levelled at the last model.

Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G, with a four day review of the camera tech, gaming performance and beyond. Vs the A54, this year's Galaxy A55 5G feels more premium and boasts some slight specs upgrades. But is Samsung's latest one of the best mid-range smartphones of 2024? The most immediate difference is the design. Not only is the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G bigger than the A54 at 6.6-inches, it also feels far more premium. It's also sadly more iPhone-esque with its flatter edges, but hey ho. That camera setup is very similar, although now it feels faster - while gaming on Genshin Impact is also an improved experience. The Galaxy A55 will blaze through titles like PubG, Call of Duty etc. Battery life so far has been the same as before. Samsung has crammed a 5000mAh cell in here and it'll last you all day if you don't go nuts with the camera or gaming.

Unfortunately, there’s not much else in the box save for a charging cable so you’ll need your own charger. At the time of writing, the Galaxy A55 has just been launched in Malaysia priced at RM1,999 and the early bird specials are solid value with a free pair of Buds FE earbuds thrown in on the house along with an additional one year extended warranty though this is only available until 30th April 2024.

At Rs 39,999, the Galaxy A55 5G is all about the experience rather than raw power. It does have its shortcomings in some areas when compared to the likes of iQOO Neo 9 Pro and the OnePlus 12R and fails to be a complete package. To make up for it, though, it is solely relying on its software optimisations, features and camera capabilities which might not be enough for the majority, but could still suit some.

The Galaxy A55 is a true return to form, especially when it comes to device performance. For what seems like the first time, we have a mid-range Galaxy phone with an Exynos chip that is optimized out of the box and will not need months of updates to perform like any phone in its segment should. Battery life is excellent out of the box as well, unlike the Galaxy A54, which had underwhelming endurance at launch. It also addresses complaints some Samsung fans have had for years about its phones not feeling as premium as less costly Chinese devices, with a metal frame and high-quality Gorilla Glass Victus+ surrounding the entire device. It's only the camera setup that feels a little out of place here considering the Galaxy A55's price point.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G can be yours at a starting price of Rs 39,999. The handset emerges as a strong contender in the upper mid-range segment, offering value for money for anyone seeking a balance between affordability and functionality. While it may not boast features such as an LTPO display and telephoto lens akin to its competitors – OnePlus 12R (review) and Vivo V30 Pro (review), the A55 5G provides a gratifying user experience. This is attributed to its sturdy IP67-certified design, upgraded Exynos 1480 SoC, long battery life, impressive camera system, and vibrant Super AMOLED display. Furthermore, with a promise of four years of OS upgrades, this phone is set to remain relevant until at least 2028.

Okay, this brings me to the conclusion. And yeah, for the starting price of Rs. 62,999, the pricing of the Galaxy A55 is of course a bit on the higher side. But, Samsung Nepal is at least bundling a 25W genuine charger, which is not the case with India. If you look past that, I believe it’s a solid premium mid-range phone, especially if you don’t play competitive games that often. But if performance is what you are aiming for, I think you should definitely wait for the Poco X6 Pro instead which might launch at a much cheaper price tag. It’s a much faster phone and you are going to enjoy most titles at 60 or 90fps without any frame drops. However, If you are someone who prefers Samsung’s brand value, good-looking design with a proper IP rating, on top of reliable everyday experience — be it clicking photos with your friends or just scrolling through the Instagram reels for hours or providing all-day backup, the Galaxy A55 hits a sweet spot in delivering a good overall package.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G smartphone proves you don’t have to spend big money to buy a sleek feature-packed phone. The A55 ticks all the boxes – great design, awesome display, excellent camera and a long-lasting battery. At this price what more can you want.

So, can the Galaxy A55 5G surpass its predecessor? It’s a close call. Given that the newer Exynos 1480 chipset boasts impressive benchmarks and smoother performance, the camera system remains largely unchanged. On the bright side, the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G offers a compelling package with a gorgeous display, longer battery life, a more refined design, and a consistent software experience. With all the bells and whistles, Galaxy A55 marks a noticeable leap forward for the A-Series. While minor setbacks like uneven bezels and mediocre cameras could see further refinement, this phone excels in core functionalities for the same price as last year’s Galaxy A54 at PHP 24,990 (for the 8GB+256GB trim). Will this phone also become one of the bestsellers this 2024? Only time will tell. It’ll be interesting to see what Samsung brings to the table next.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G display provided an impressive performance for its High-end segment. The device’s screen measured a peak brightness under sunlight conditions of 1638 nits, considerably higher than advertised, and well above its predecessor A54 5G’s 1344 nits. The peak brightness approached the peak level of Samsung’s premium Galaxy S23 model, which was measured at 1600 nits. Our testers saw improvements in how the A55 5G display managed sunlight conditions, particularly in gamma and color. Faces were better rendered, and colors appeared more natural. The A55 5G, like its predecessor as well as other mid-range devices, tended to show pink and green fringes on the display when viewed at an angle. When watching videos, the A55 5G’s screen brightness provides good rendering and a good level of details in dark areas.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G is one of the latest model in Samsung’s A series and the successor to the A54 5G, which we tested previously. The new model shares some camera hardware specifications with its predecessor, and in our tests, camera performance was on a similar level as well. Overall results were pretty average for this class of device, with accurate exposure and fairly good texture when shooting in decent light conditions. However, in more challenging situations, for example strongly backlit scenes, very low light or scenes with motion, our testers observed a range of failures, including hue shifts around clipped areas, ghosting effects and a noticeable decline of the autofocus tracking capabilities. Surprisingly, our testers found the A55’s bokeh mode to be less accurate, with more subject segmentation errors and activation failures, than on the predecessor.

Samsung seems to be in a bit of a pickle with the Galaxy A55 5G. Yes, it included some of AI pazzaz and some improved durability with the metal frame and more durable glass, but it still feels a bit bland when placed next to the competition. Exactly where it fits in its price range will highly depend on its camera performance, which we can't wait to test out. That said, the A5x series from Samsung is one of the most popular and most bought phone models on the market, so there isn't much incentive for the company to make any big changes to it. Sad, but true. There's also the fact that now the A series works with Samsung's Knox security system, which gives users that extra sense of security from any malicious intent. Additionally, the display has improved and we have a slightly different design, but that's about it. Stay tuned for our full review of the Galaxy A55 5G, where you will find more details in the form of test results for the camera, display, as well as the battery life and charging.

Samsung seems to be in a bit of trouble with the Galaxy A55. If it doesn't include any of that AI pazzaz that came with the Galaxy S24 series, all it has going for it is longer software support, an upgraded chipset, and a new look. Of course, there is still a lot we don't know about the A55, so there is ample space for surprise to come in and make it a better competitor in the mid-range phone segment, but for now it seems the competition might end up overwhelming this year. Stay tuned as we will be updating this preview with any new information that comes to light, as there is still some time before Samsung's expected announcement of the Galaxy A55 and A35.
