  • 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.

    Galaxy A5 was alluminium, the whole phone. A5 2016 was alluminium with glass back and A5 2017 and A8 2018 were not only alluminium and glass but also IP68.

    It's a good phone, but the Nothing 2a, OnePlus Ace 3V or even the Google Pixel 8a should be better options with superior hardware and cameras unless you just dislike Chinese brands for political or whatever reasons.

    • @RuboStars
      @RuboStars Місяць тому +2

      Nothing is British, Google is from US, and that OnePlus doesn't even ring a bell, never heard of. Can you buy that in Europe? It's not about disliking Chinese brands, it's the fact that Chinese phones are not easy to find and buy. And even if you buy one, if it breaks, the guy at the repair shop will look at you like you're an alien. This is the advantage Samsung has. And Ben mentions in the video

      @Freak80MC Місяць тому +1

      Honestly I'd love to go with a Xiaomi again here in the US, I've loved my Mi9T, but the reception sucks probably because it's a phone meant for the European and Chinese market. I'll probably go with a midrange Samsung for my next phone because I want to go with a company with a refined software experience and I don't want to own a Google phone, I don't want that company controlling my experiences any more than it already does (plus, I just hate the hardware design of Google phones now, their last good hardware design was the Pixel 5)
      Plus, the midrange Samsung phones have expandable storage which I am sorely lacking in my Mi9T!

    About £400 cheaper than the S24 and comparing specs, for most Samsung users the A55 will be a solid choice, especially in Europe where both use Exynos and we know from history that the mid-range Exynos chips are more stable than the flagship versions.

    1) EXPENSIVE for midrange! The previous (A54) was sold for about 100$ less. That's insane increase in price for midrange.
    2) No telephoto because it will kill the sales of the S series.
    3) The ONLY thing that keeps Samsung above Xiaomi is the fact when it comes to the OS Xiaomi is HORRIBLE. I know people who bought the Xiaomi 14 and selling it because of the OS. Samsung are superb when it comes to OS updates and fixing bugs. Chinese brands are notorious for failing to do so.
    4) And finally - Bluetooth does not support Snapdragon's APT-X HD etc codecs which leaves you with low-quality audio playback, unless you buy the expensive Samsung earbuds.

      Almost the same launch price as A54 and gets even cheaper if you sell the freebies. There's alsona trade in discount. Company is one of the best in the Android segment when it comes to software support.
