[@gentle285]

How do you know the quality by watching a video? The sub board for example is very thin..

[@chenluanzhang]

That definitely does not look like flagship build inside, the chip and capacitor density is way less and the cameras are much tinier. Plus the motherboard isn’t even a dual stack or triple stack layer. Also, the ungodly amount of plastic midframe in this phone, the nfc antenna is even baked into plastic.

[@devanandshaji]

@@chenluanzhang of course because its a midranger. Look at the cables, its uses flex cables. Except Xiaomi 14 ultra literally every chinese flagships use coaxial cables. Which is 👎🏼 for flagships.

[@koksionglee7978]

I just bought this phone, and the next sensible thing to do now is to SAVE THIS reference video!

[@ManleyEvangelista]

Been doing a bit of digging. I've Googled the model number of the A55's battery (EB-BA256ABS), and it says that the A25 uses that battery. But I've also noticed that in your Galaxy A25's teardown that your A25 uses (EB-BA546ABY) battery, which is the same battery that the A34 and 54 uses. From that, I can conclude that the A25, A34, A54, and A55 uses the same battery, but they just have different SKUs. If you still have the the A25, A34, and A54 and can confirm the batteries between those models are interchangeable, then that would be nice. Thanks for uploading this video, I've been waiting for a while now lit of curiosity.

[@PBKreviews]

Hi, I don't have those other phones to check, but if the battery model is the same should work. As long as battery model is the same, location of connector and connector type then should be no problem.

[@ManleyEvangelista]

@@PBKreviews the connectors seems to look the same. If this works, then it's a huge win in terms of repairability. I mean, there's no excuse for manufacturer to not make a single battery for all of their devices. They're all uses the same capacity nowadays (at 5,000mAh).

[@PBKreviews]

Yup, only thing that would be a reason would be if they changed the type of tech the battery uses. But if its the same model should be same tech.

[@jiffonbuffo]

It takes me back to the days of removable batteries where multiple Samsung and LG models share the exact same battery, at least with their respective brands.

[@LongDooSee]

There's absolutely a space there in bottom left for headphone jack. No excuse for samsung to not include that

[@kalaalfi33]

🗣️: Type c headphones exist + low latency earbuds exist + tws is easier to handle than those tangling wires. No need of a headphone jack.

[@telcobilly]

I needed one this year when I was assigned a truck without Bluetooth. Fortunately my second budget 4g phone had one and I'm was able to use an aux cord to hear my podcasts. Not everyone wants a slim, expensive phone with many features removed "for our good" .

Is that back actually glass? Do you think this is an overall good build quality phone?

[@GAofficial-]

Wow samsung A55 5G amazing ❤ is my phone😘 🔥🔥🔥 menyala abang kyuu

[@denichez]

Yoo I like this kind of videos, most people reviewed the phone by spec but not on the inside (literally) I think we need a bit explanation about how you score it like what part would be challenging to repair, which part will most likely be damaged first, is it overall a good build, is it generally similar to other phones or even the previous series, that would be interesting to hear from you I love the video!

[@PBKreviews]

Thanks! I provide the chart towards the end of the video before re-assembling to break it down. Higher score= easier and more repairable. If a section scores low it either means its hard to access and more difficult to replace those parts which fall in that area, or parts are harder to find etc. If I can, I will be more thorough.

All that space and we lost the 3.5mm jack for nothing. Ultra usefull when to connect it to a mixer, i guess i remain on the a52s and then change brand to one with the jack (few)

[@user_d754]

Can we replace frame if its broken ?

[@Sky_Elite_Avation]

Dude, I have a curious question :) We always see in your videos, You removed the thermal paste/some time heat sink as well.But We know that if we remove the phone's thermal paste or heat transfer paper, there will be a bad impact (Performance drop/overheating etc.) when we use the phone later. My question is what do you actually do with those phones?

[@PBKreviews]

I reapply the thermal paste. As for the graphite film, as long as its not damaged beyond the point of it being effective, its still usable.

[@IBRAHIMROTERWOLF]

So good mr from iraq

[@PBKreviews]

Thank you!

[@user-bq2co6lh3x]

Both the Galaxy A55 5G and A35 5G come equipped with a 1.7 times larger vapor cooling chamber but i dont really see any of that, is it sandwich between the screen and the circuit board?

[@PBKreviews]

what do you mean, its shown in the video once the battery is pried off. Yes a part of it runs underneath in between the screen and frame, and if you compare it to the A54, you will see its much larger.

[@HARDMAN.]

[@mohamedzayed1898]

I love this phone a lot but the cheap plastic cover is the worst in its experience, is there a way to have a metal one?

[@lavahoundbrlava1883]

4:07 They added something new to the board compared to the A54, that part above the bottom shielding didn't have anything on it, but now they put something there. And by the looks of it (having shielding and all) seems important, what is it?

[@PBKreviews]

It's nothing, if you look at the other side of the board its hollow open, its where the earpiece speaker lays or sits in.

[@johny-gi5zw]

Bro which one i should choose, nothing 2a or oneplus 12r or samsung A55 ... interms of camera,,performance,, long use,, Which one u recommend

[@PBKreviews]

I would go with A55 or Nothing 2a

[@bacsrm6897]

Good to see it has huge vapor chamber and graphite sheet sandwiching the battery. Though looking at the frame, it looks like aluminum frame is fused by 3mm thick plastic. If only samsung trim it and make A55 a bit smaller instead.
