[@Tamayo.Sama2023]

I use A55 for couple of months. I just love this phone. It's not the top on the line but give me everything i need and i wants. Good battery, Good Thermal, and Stable One UI 6.1

[@arthstg]

And the price. A55 is $350 in my country. I think pixel 8a would be arround $700 here

[@crispyy8899]

Totally agree what you said about the colours, i usually dont mind but that aloe is amazing. Have a wonderful day.

[@CallMeKJOS]

Its a proper good color! Love it.

[@GameOver-nm2us]

got the A55 and it's been amazing so far

[@artdogg50]

Tough call given the current price difference. $367 for the A55 isn't a bad deal actually right now. At $499 I do think the 8A is overpriced. I do think the 8A is the better phone though.

[@kodeth5200]

yeah $499 is a bit overpriced too imo

[@peted6769]

Wow back again ! This is great for me as am after a great deal so taking my time and your review really helps ! Thanks 😎

[@CallMeKJOS]

Appreciate you for watching!

[@RogueHetero]

At under $400 I actually think the A55 is better value. I personally think the AI features currently available on phones are overhyped by manufacturers I don’t think majority of consumers really care or use most of it. If I were spending the money right now I’d go with the A55 and either pocket the savings or get some new headphones to pair with my new phone.

[@Dwayne3007]

Subbed bro, love from the UK.

[@CallMeKJOS]

Much appreciated 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@jerrymartinez2528]

Good video! Great opinions on both phones I'm glad you didn't fixate to much ch about the bezels like everyone does...smh, P8a probably best midrange phone to buy not hurt the pocket and you get the all the AI camera settings which everyone wants

[@kodeth5200]

For video recording which would be ideal? between these two?

[@uraverageviewer787]

Great video, I'd take the galaxy mainly cuz I prefer one ui to stock android but I'd like to try a pixel one day

[@CallMeKJOS]

Fair enough. Personally I can't get into OneUI

[@arfahad3601]

Please do a comparison between iPhone 11 vs Galaxy A55 Counting on it.....!

[@gkholmes]

In your opinion what is the best used Android smartphone under 200 US bucks having an Antutu 10 Score around 735000?

[@tacho44]

The A55 has glass back and metal sides, not platic , you should know this.

[@_deva_0]

Very good comparison I would just wait a while or check pixel 8 for discounts and get that all though I wouldn't be disappointed with the pixel 8A and would recommend it to a lot of people could u do nothing phone 2a vs pixel 8A or nothing phone 2a vs A55 that would also be a good comparison thx man.

[@newfnshow031]

do pixel 8a vs a35 $500 vs $360 specifically compare the screens and battery life if u can

[@robertvogt1527]

Hello from Australia,I got the pixel 8a a month ago and it's ok. Not quite as refined as one ui, which is strange because google is a software company, anyway,I found the cameras to be good, coming from the Samsung Galaxy s20 exynos,the cameras on the s20 were also good. The screen brightness is very good,aspecialy compared to the s20. I have had no issue at all with overheating, although,it is winter here in Australia. It's also a good size for me because I don't have large hands,so it kind of makes the a55 a deal breaker. It would have been nice if the 8a had gorilla glass 5 or 6 as the s20 from 4 years ago had a 6. I've also learned to be careful when tapping on a delete button because you might end up accidentally deleting more than you wanted to,just with a single tap😮. Very frustrating. Still,I guess that it's something that I'll just have to get used to. I'll probably switch back to Samsung next time round. It'll depend on how well this phone treats me i suppose.

[@kodeth5200]

how is the video compared to s20 im curious, currently on the same hardware thinking of making the jump to 8a after all the hype about camera, mainly want it for the videos, would you say its better? or do i go with A55 or S23 FE

[@ObinnaVictorUnanka]

I came all the way from Twitter

[@enockmahlo5395]

M using the phone an it's aluminum frame with back glass. I like it an it does everything I need in a smartphone

[@EdyB90]

You forgot one important detail: Samsung has a Micro SD Card slot (up to 1TB), while the Pixel doesn't. It's a clear choice for people who want to have more storage or they already maybe have a Micro SD Card.

[@Youtobedo]

I would say if you want a cheaper midrange phone the OnePlus 12R definitely worth looking at as it's $400 with a trade in of any phone in any condition and you get a lot for that cash.

[@cod4r]

The Tensor G3 still has a long way to go in terms of efficiency.

[@loicstephan3719]

i love the pixel 8a camera but they kinda negelcted built quality like gorilla glass 3 and plastic back for this price range? and the heat also is a factor to consider as the chip throttles and get warm. should have make it stable. it feels like a 7a but with 7 yrs of os updates

[@KoalaBeer.]

8a gets hot?

[@louisbailey4900]

Yep! ​@@KoalaBeer.

[@crpro5420]

Pixel 8a anytime... easy to hold ✌😎

[@MsMytube75]

Pixel for software and for smart people , go pixel 7a for 250usd

[@tshimologomolope7185]

Amazing work butnim my opinion i feel that the pixel interms of camera,soc, software is better than the a55 but the price on the pixel is bad tho

[@CallMeKJOS]

Depending on where you are to be honest.

[@Klvn4L]

6:19 jsyk, the Galaxy AI is actually built on Google's Gemini 😶

[@simonthewatchguy6073]

In the UK, the Samsung A55 is £289 and the Pixel 8a is £499. I got the A55, it was a no-brainer.

[@MyPrideFlag]

Oh f*ck you, in Poland it's 1899zł (Samsung store) which is approximately 380 pounds. And your average salary is 50% higher than ours. Poland caught up in the last decades and in many ways I prefer my country to UK. But buying electronics is still very painfull for us. While generally everything is cheaper in Poland, electronics are more expensive for some reason. I'm gonna buy A55 but it will be a big expense for a broke as* student such as myself. I hope it's going to last 3-5 years.

[@simonthewatchguy6073]

@@MyPrideFlag f me? :-( thats mean! I'm sure the Samsung will last many years. Enjoy it man!

[@simonthewatchguy6073]

@@MyPrideFlag is there any difference in buying a Samsung A55 in the UK? If you want me to buy it here and ship it to you, I am more than happy to do that? (genuine offer). I used to live with Polish people and they were awesome.

[@MyPrideFlag]

@@simonthewatchguy6073 Thanks man, I was considering shipping it from abroad or buying from local resellers but Samsung provides us with 2 year warranty only if we buy from Polish distribution. Not to mention additional time and costs of shipment itself. Sadly UK is not even in the EU or European Economic Area so I'd have problems with any service for a device outside of European distribution. I also found an offer with free earbuds which makes it more worth it (I was gonna buy them anyway as new smartphones including a55 rarely have minijack port). But I appreciate the offer.

[@MyPrideFlag]

@@simonthewatchguy6073 Hey I see yt algorithm randomly deleted my reply. So I will write a shorter one. Samsung gives phones from Polish distribution 2 years warranty. And the fact that UK is outside the European Economic Area, it complicates things even further if I ever wanted to service it. But thanks for the offer, I appreciate it. I found an offer in a big tech shop where they gave me free airbuds as an extra so it ain't that bad. But I'm still kinda mad at big tech companies like Samsung for ripping us off. Anyway have a good day.

[@jimmymyre6634]

I got the a55 for $379 on amazon. Right now the 8a is $499. Big difference.

[@CallMeKJOS]

Yeah, its def cheaper.

Please reply again, Which generation usb type C is there in 8a? Does it heat while recording 4k 30 videos ? What about battery does it last a day, I am not phone addict, just prefer to record most of the time.

Pixel 8A 256gb cost 725 Euro in my country and Galaxy A55 256gb ive got it for 370 euro with shipping so for me galaxy is the clear winner.

[@charlescane8723]

7 years software support on 8a

[@anthony4917]

The Pixel 8a is a lot more beautiful, in my opinion

[@fkaspow]

It's insane, the Pixel 8A is a lot more expensive in Europe than in USA

[@CallMeKJOS]

Ridiculous tbh

[@thestrongest3050]

The stock android is wayyy to plain for my taste, the One UI is the sweet spot imo

[@mousefatfat]

Google 8a is the best mid range phone due to the cameras. Just buy it when it is at a lower price or when there is a good cash back,like in my country,its a $100 cash back or a $150 google voucher if u plan to buy google stuff in the future

[@kyleedgerton3698]

got the A55 for $427 AUD personally don't think the $350+ difference for the 8 or 8a is worth it, unless you want all the fancy stuff.

[@kaffeice7]

its strange to me but ..i find the 6a making better pic then both 7a and 8a .. it looks more natrual..wish they made it like that on 8a

[@3rdWorldNola]

I heard its bc of the software development over time with the older sensors in the 6a. Kinda also why iphone pics look weird without editting sometimes too, iphones rely on hardware, pixels software for pics.

[@bestofmusicchannel]

A55 300$ vs 8α 500$ ! What is your choice !?

[@BesMacridis1]

I feel like you didn't do enough research for the A55. It has a glass back and metal frame. The display aint the same exactly as last year GG5 verses Gorilla glass victus plus.

[@CallMeKJOS]

@@BesMacridis1 lol. Okay.

[@BearShepherd]

Simple choice. Go for Pixel 8, without A.

[@joerosales6117]

The a series from pixel cant be a heavy used phone because the battery life isnt strong enough for it. If you use your phone alot go with the samsung. Until pixel puts abetter battery in the a series, faster charging its not worth it. I had the pixel 6a and i wanted to kick it, took so long to charge and would drain fast

[@reddittron9622]

Exaclty this is where pixel has issues, always heat up, battery is weak as hell

[@alexgreg152]

Both phones takes the same time to charge lmao. Also the pixel is pretty new it needs some updates and then it will get pretty good.

[@joerosales6117]

@alexgreg152 the pixel charges at 18 watts with a 4000 mah battery. The a55 charges at 25 watts and has a 5000 watt battery. So the pixel is slower

[@alexgreg152]

@@joerosales6117 Bro, the Samsung charges in 1h43 minutes while the pixel charges in 1h40. Results i seen on dxomark for the Samsung and a multitude of others websites for the pixel 8a. And it's obvious that a smaller battery will charge faster than a bigger one so even if the charging speed of the 8a is lesser than the a55 (18w vs 25w) the bigger battery on the a55 it's his disadvantage.

[@markbolam1383]

pixel 8a every time it has wireless charging

[@sandilesangoni8172]

Premium?...the only thing that pixel 8A have are software camera and better chipset over a55.

TF flagship you said ??? The Tensor G3 is not at a flagship level ... even the SD7+ gen 2 from last year is twice the performance of Tensor G3.... and now we have SD8s gen 3 and still called midrange by Qualcomm themselve.
