[@gentle285]

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

[@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.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="247">4:07</a> 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.

[@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.

[@Mm-ph5og]

I watched a video of some guy saying that the A 55 screen are not made by samsong , is that true sir ?

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@bomberman4046]

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)

[@SubaruGuy1]

Is FPC connector got better or worse? My friend has a52s and connector died

[@MIGHTYcbu]

I have an A52 LTE and the connector also died (very common problem in the whole A52 line up), I was told that it was mainly due to the flimsy plastic back, so I hope it isn't an issue with the glass back

[@Rauf_Aliyev]

How the Exynos 1480 works in this smartphone? Does it overheat and throttle? The benchmarks say, that Exynos 1480 on Galaxy A55 is stronger than SD 7 Gen 1 on Galaxy M55.

why the glass backplate bends? is it plastic instead?

[@PBKreviews]

no, same as glass screen protector. Its thin so has some flex.

[@certaindeath7776]

many do not know, but glass not solid, but amorphous solid. so it has attributes of liquids as well. f.e. window glasses over the year get thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom, because it flows. very very slow, but it does.

Depends on what you need it for. The S23fe has a better processor as well as a telephoto camera, but aside from that, all other aspects on the A55 spec wise are better. Larger screen, larger battery, better screen glass protection (victus+ vs gorilla glass 5) and a better selfie camera.
