Samsung Galaxy A55! - A Real Day In The Life

Hot on the heels of the very popular A54, the new Samsung Galaxy A55 is here to solidify its position as the go-to premium mid-range phone. Join me as I take the A55 out on a day in my life to test out its performance, cameras, display and battery life...But most importantly, to see if it holds the spot as the contender for the best mid-range phone available!

[@cguralol]

I have an s23 ultra but i like tech so when youtube recommend me a channel like yours i feel that the algorithm is doing a good job. Nice vid man, the a55 looks like a solid midranger but I think it overlaps with the s23fe so its a very tough decision so make if someone is planning to buy this phone.

[@Upwards._]

Hello! The A55 is a lot cheaper but the compromise between the s23fe and A55 is performance

[@baoquoc3710]

@@Upwards._ the a55 also felt a bit more premium feeling tho, and exynos 1480 also runs cooler

Surprisingly this looks like the S23 fe screen wise,the bezels look the same considering that's above a midrange phone,hope they'll do something about that in future,also would rather not have gorilla glass,glasstic was just fine,less likely to break,good video 👍🏽

[@tapiwamandibaya3326]

Just migrated from galaxy M33 to A55 and on my 2nd day on the a55 so far so good. Only thing of note so gar is the fingerprint reader which sometimes doesnt recognise my finger. Advice to new users is to complete battery cycles over a few days to get good consistency and long battery life

[@Belles87]

What do you mean with batter cycle po?

[@tapiwamandibaya3326]

It means to charge it till it reaches 100 then use it till it completely depletes the battery then charge it again till u reach 100 and use it till u deplete the power and do that for about 5 or so cycles. Thats gets the battery to expand and cantract properly to enable the battery to hold power adequately. If the charge cycle isnt done normally u find the battery drains fast and doesnt hold power for long.

watching this on my samsung a55 navy blue🎉

[@emersonpicks]

Watching this on my Galaxy A55. It's my first samsung device coming from someone who used xiaomi 13t which I didn't like the quality of the camera at all. I trade it in and pay additional cash to a samsung store. Yes you read it right. Technically the xiaomi 13t is better when it comes to specs but I didn't like the camera at all. This a55 is just enough for casual users like me. It's enough for everyday who just watch KZbin, TikTok, Netflix and social media. I just wish they make the charging way more faster like my previous devices the xiaomi 13t is 67w and poco x3 is 33w. Samsung is just 25w. Overall I love it. The size is enough to me. Looks really premium. Camera is really good too.

Hey! I'm looking to buy the A55. I'm pretty confused between the S22 and the A55. Which one do you think would be the best overall?

S22 is a much more powerful phone and has better cameras. However the screen is smaller and the battery life is less. Keep that in mind. But otherwise the S22 is a better choice

[@WendelTC]

Hey, can you pls confirm on the fingerprint scanner speed? You said its quick but it looks like slow to me. Does it unlock quickly within a second or takes more than that? Also, is it accurate or you see misses?

In my opinion, it’s been very quick for me and accurate most of the time.

I have a pixel 8 pro but not happy because it has a stutter in some apps like Reddit Facebook youtube is this a good alternative does it lag?

Hi which phone would you recommend between Samsung A35 & A55?

[@KsCdn1608]

Buy A55 12/256 GB variant if possible or the base 8/128 if u want to save some money. A35 has poorer haptics, a year old, probably 30% less powerful chipset 1380. Ram and storage type is also faster in A55. Don't buy A35 cos it looks similar. Chipset is weak.
