Crazy how spending £440 on a phone is considered "cheap"

[@CrazyMilkman27]

It's cheap for people living on a 1st world countries

[@brosplit]

Cheap and expensive are relative to value. This video is comparing the value of X to half of its original value, thus illustrating the relativity between expensive and cheap. Perhaps if you already knew this basic understanding, you would be more successful and less stingy seeing gadget priced at £440 as cheap.

I was willing to pull out another $400 more for the S series but then Samsung had to go out of their way to try to get even more money from us by removing the SD card slot and expect us to pay more for online storage. So, I went with the A55 and save about $400. Thanks Samsung. Excellent business decision.

[@deviantmoore9744]

[@lwoklidfr]

well they are jealous with Apple for not having a memory card that's why Samsung removed the sd expansion in their flagship phones which a really hige deal breaker for me.

[@nikhilpaleti3872]

No offense, but I would just call it foolishness on your part. The reason they removed the SD is pretty much because of performance. You know, even the fastest, best SD Cards in the market are half-duplex connections, which means worse than even the full-duplex UFS 2.0 storage from ~8 Years ago. And if anyone uses an SD card for anything, it is going to make the phone absolutely lag like CRAZY. Remember, switching point of PCs being smooth was the phase when they adopted SSDs, not the i9s, not the RTX 3090s. If they gave SD Card Support on an S24, good luck seeing them lag in a week because no one can afford the best SD Card anyway, so it'll be bottom of the barrel crap that will make the S24 lag like a 100$ phone. You just decided to get a 10x worse phone for not much money saved, because you decided backing up photos to a laptop is too much hassle.

[@lwoklidfr]

@nikhilpaleti3872 lol, you will only experience that lag that you are talking about if you put all your app in your SD card, but in case you didn't know all system apps and apps you insalled all goes to your phone storage by default and some of them can't be moved like the old android in the past, so that slowing thing that you are talking about won't happen because andoid OS and apps don't go to your external storage but in your internal storage, the main purpose of SD card these days is for expansion of your phone storage where you put images, music, videos and other files and that's why it won't affect your phone performance even if you had a micro sd there, its like putting a SSD or nvme in your computer where you put the OS to make your computer run smoothly while you put all your files in HDD for large storage and longevity of the drive. srsly where did you even get that idea that it will slow your phone if you put a expandable storage in a phone?😂 did you get it from Apple? samsung removed micro SD in the flagship phones because Samsung also wants to sell their cloud storage like what Apple been doing, remember tech companies only remove things like micro sd storage, charging brick and earphones(out of the box) from phones that being released these days because they want to increase their profits not because it will slow your phone or to help the environment.

This is interesting because I just bought my husband the S21+ (referbished-like-new) after getting a new A54 5G a few months ago. I spent about $150 on both, after sales, fees, etc. etc. I think they are a much fairer comparison, both in price, and in stats. (Not to mention the huge difference in size between your phones. My phones are within 3", barely noticeable side-by-side. The S21+ is a bit taller and very slim.) Hope this helps budget-minded people who have different use-cases. The main differences in the A54 and the S21+ are: -The A54 is newer, but the S21+ gets 2 or 3 more years of OS updates. It's a toss up. -The camera on the S21+ has much better low-light handeling. Otherwise not a huge difference. -The S21+ has a snappier, but older CPU, and a boosted GPU, allowing room for gaming if you need it. But no noticable difference otherwise. (I never have to reboot the A54, or experience slowness. I run a lot more apps than he does too.) -The A54 has better battery life. I get 1 - 1.5 days more than my husband from a charge. -The S21+ has wireless charging, and also Superfast charging. He can go from 0-50% in 20 mintues on my 5A charger laptop charger, over USB-C PD 3.0. But he never uses Super-fast mode because it ages the battery. -The A54 has an external SD card slot. (They're both the same size internal disks, 128GB.) This is important to me. -The S21+ has 2 more GB of RAM (8GB vs 6GB). Again, only needed for gaming and crazy-amounts of multitasking. -The S21+ has a 120hz screen -- Nice to have but not necessary. My screen looks great. -Admittedly, the S21+ has MUCH better external speakers. Oh well. I'll get headphones. -The S21+ has moderate water resistance. (This is what made me decide to get it for him. He's a welder, and very hard on phones.) -My husband is impressed with the S21+ instantanious facial recognition, due to low-light sensors, and a better GPU/CPU. -The A54 gets a much better 5G signal inside our house (T-mobile). However, he just texted me from an airplane at 30,000 feet (Verizon.) (So fast 5G vs. extremely long-range 4G/5G signal.)

[@masonbanks4189]

I went from A54 to S24 (base) recently and the difference between mid-range to flagship is huge with both performance and features. But it all comes down to what type of use you want to get out of your device.

[@begley09]

Yeah, as someone who went from an A53 ( I was ready to chuck this phone because it stuttered all the time) and upgraded to the S24 NA version with Snapdragon 3 and WOW.... what a difference! I feel like if you're the type of person who takes your phone with you everywhere, get a good phone and with these you got 7 years of OS updates.

[@regardzz]

whats the biggest difference? im also using a54 and wanting to switch to base s24 just not sure if thats even remotely a good idea lol

[@masonbanks4189]

@regardzz In my experience the biggest difference is much quicker speed and no stutters/crashes or lags. SD 8 Gen 3 chip is about the best on the market night now and IMO its worth the extra money for the phone. You'll also notice although A54 has the bigger battery (5000 mah) the S24 will still last just as long if not longer due to having the better optimized and far superior chipset plus the LTPO display can adaptively drop refresh rate down to 1hz compared to 60 on the A54. If you have the money I'd definitely go for it. Nothing at all wrong with the A54, S24 is just better in every way.

[@regardzz]

yeah my only concern is the battery, i do use apps quite a bit so yeah how about size? are they the same when held in hand? @@masonbanks4189

[@InfiniCoder]

That's true, but by regarding the long-term use of the phone, s24 is definitely a better option with 7 years update and more powerful cheapset. Also the premium design(esp thin bezzels) make you not feel that my phone is old after several years, like that I feel the S20 series are still premium and modern.

To all the people wondering about how much CPU speed actuall matters: A normal person can baerly make use of all the extra performance that a high end chip can offer. The baseline of a mostly smooth user experience was drawn with Qualcoms Snapdragon 801 back in 2014. This one was fast a.f. back on android KitKat. In 2018 I got a phone with a Snapdragon 660. This midrange chip has the exact same feel as the 801. Extrapolating a bit into the future, a Snapdragon 7 gen 1 will already give you the best noticable userexperience. All those computationally demanding processes occur only 0.1% of the time. What matters to 99,9% is the general smoothness of the user experience . And objectively you get all of that with a midrange chip. I have been using the SD660 for over 6 years now and bow it is starting to feel slow, but I must confess that my life would not be radically different if I tradet this slightly slower phone for a faster one. Smartphones peaked somewhere around 2019.

I have the expensive model (the previous model, S23) and it has several annoying issues. When I'm using Facebook, and I click on notifications, it's always skipping back to the previous screen. But more importantly, on Google Calendar, when I'm creating an event, it's constantly making the cursor jump to the bottom of the screen, making it incredibly difficult to write in details, and it regularly will not look up the phonebook to find the email address of the person I want to invite the event. These two calendar issues are a massive issue for me, because this is how I organise all jobs for my contractors and for years with every other phone, I never had either of these issues. It's a total nightmare of a phone for me, considering I got this phone as a work phone and I should be able to work from it when I'm away from my computer, but it is really difficult to so so. I would not recommend this phone, at all.

[@kimedward9559]

Thank you for the indepth review

[@svend.7324]

When it comes to value for money, people should think carefully about what is important to them and what they actually use on a daily basis. Because for most people it won't matter in everyday life whether USB 3.x including Dex or USB 2.0. I have both an S20 model and the A54. And I actually hardly ever use Dex. And it is completely irrelevant whether an app opens a little faster or not, because once the applications are open, there are no major differences. We're talking about fractions of a second here. In addition, longer videos in 4K60 or 8K are real memory hogs. 256GB fills up very quickly - and having a memory card is not only safer, it also saves time because you don't have to constantly swap out the files. The A55 is completely sufficient for most games, not everyone plays Genshin Impact for hours. And the workmanship is visibly almost indistinguishable. In this respect, I now consider the S models to be overpriced, because the A55's competitor is the S24+. And that costs almost 3x as much - for around 15% more use in everyday life. For anyone who wants to surf, stream, take snapshots and occasionally play games, the A55 is the much better choice - and the money you save can be sensibly invested elsewhere.

[@dmp3231966]

Love your videos especially this one can you smell what the rock is cooking ✊🏿♥️ watch from my s24

[@gambet0007]

A more fair comparison would be between A35 and A55, S series is not a fair comparison at all. And no, A55 does not bear S series phones, an older S or F series might do that for you though, which come quite cheap tbh.

0:20 bruh with this logic oneplus, redmi, realme, oppo, vivo, iqoo phones are way more value for money than A55 in india a55 is considered such a waste of money because in same prize u can get specs close to s24 lol

[@halemcdan1]

My S8 gave up 2 years ago well out of warranty. The replacement S22 has just given up after 18months, well inside warranty. Samsung said it can’t be repaired and will offer an alternative. Not sure what I’m entitled to.

[@mikeellis5801]

Galaxy A55 is a good option...save loads...and looks like a good phone if yer like your Samsung phones

[@Faizan-Ali961]

Hey man can i get the sony xperia 5 mark iii please

[@Jocke155]

I went from S10e to A55, and performance wise the A55 is much better and the 120Hz screen feels smooth. However, even though the camera in the A55 offers much better detail, it feels laggy when you take photos compared to the S10e. The is also the case for apps that use the camera in AR.

[@user-ov4cm3cf5v]

In finland OnePlus 12 and s24 cost same amount so I would pick 12 over s24.

[@BallerShortsHD]

you forgot to mention LTPO, after getting my A52s and being unable to use 120hz about a year and a half later, I realise that it's a huge dealbreaker in battery life

[@masquerade_phantomx9270]

Why were u unable to use it? Doesn't A52s also have a 120Hz panel ?

[@BallerShortsHD]

@masquerade_phantomx9270 yes, but 120hz drains alot of battery when there is no LTPO, and with battery degradation, you are forced to either use 60hz or change the battery

A55 doesn’t support 4k 60fps according to GSMarena. Please correct me if i am wrong.

[@mollies13]

Yes that is true you cannot record 4k 60fps but can do in 30fps. You can still recording 1080p 60fps I have the S23, I can record 4k 60fps 8k 24fps 1080p 120fps not slow mo its normal recording. He lied to you

[@sarahonegger6722]

I like the bigger Akku from the A 55. I most need the phone for social media, watching films, listen music and chat with friends. oh and the A55 wouldnt be so hot like the S24. i had this problem with the s21. Im Summer i only use the phone for listen music and after 30minutes - 1hour the phone goes out automatically because it was to hot. And i hated it. So the A55 hasnt this problem.

[@benk932]

Outstanding review and comparison!

[@WhatGear]

Thanks 😊

[@danbodroid]

i have been using the A54(8/256 $327) since January 2024... on April i switched to A55(12/256 $413)because i needed the E-Sim... on May i switched to S24(8/512 $815)because i felt the A55 was a bit slow...other than the smaller size. the S24 for sure is faster. but i cant justify the price difference between the A55 and S24...

[@MrOrtmeier]

If I had the money I'd get the S24 just because the more powerful CPU will last longer. However because I don't have money I'm looking at the A35 and possibly the A55 if I can find a good discount.

[@brotherhoodofnod8852]

You could trade in some other devices in the samsung store. i traded in an iphone SE 2020 and got the A35 for 289€ instead of 449€ (the 256GB/8GB model). I couldn't justify the price increase for the A55.

[@MrOrtmeier]

@@brotherhoodofnod8852 Sadly they don't offer trade ins here in Cyprus. There isn't a Samsung store or website. You have to buy the phone from a tech shop or Network Provider.

[@futurafrlx8874]

You can also consider A54, which was pretty much rebranded as A35.

[@MrOrtmeier]

@@futurafrlx8874 Yes I went to the shop on Saturday evening to see but the A54 was priced identical to the A35....

[@Tugger4me1]

So still confused by conflicting statement's from different places, does the A55 5g have wireless charging or not?

[@michaelr.8402]

not😉

[@markjacobs1086]

The whole A series currently doesn't support wireless charging.

[@soapfromph6255]

Honestly, rather than buying the A55 now. It's better to buy older flagships like the S22 plus. Almost the same price or lower, better screen, better build and design (for me, the S22 series peaked at design), better processor, great cameras, and great overall experience. You can also make a video about this 😅😅. Is it worth it to buy older flagships like S20 or S21 than the new mid range like the A55 or A35?

[@soapfromph6255]

But still.. kodus to samsung creating one of the most premium looking mid range phone👏 (They could have done the bezels of the screen much better though 😅)

[@Dominus_Potatus]

Data transfer is faster and easier if you use QuickShare for A55 since its port is limited to USB 2.0 Even if you want to transfer via WiFi (QuickShare), it will be limited by MicroSD speed via overhead and so on. Since WiFi 6, at ideal real time, has 1.2 Gbps, at best it will be a bit slower. In short, A55 is 80% of S24 features. You will feel the main differentiation is camera and Ai features. If you only use your phone as mean of communication and entertainment, A55 is enough. Oh, just remember than S24 has 7 major android support while A55 has 4 major android support. So, in a long run, S24 might be better for 2nd hand market

[@supernotnatural]

My A73 beats Galaxy A55 all the day. That's why Samsung stopped A7x series. It was too GOOD with GREAT CAMERA!

[@mohammadsiefaddeenkh.abual8982]

Watching from S24+ I can confirm you Samsung has that premium quality on their flagship phones, idk even the UI feels premium, the material used everything, they just makes you feel like you took the right decision on buying their flagships, noting that I was using A54.

[@zerohunt009]

11:28 - AI Summarize web page has a mistake - A55 5G is powered by a 4nm Exynos 1480 processor Its not 5nm Exynos 1280 processor. Samsung needs to fix bugs in AI.

[@hsantfge3101]

S23 with snapdragon or s24 exenes

[@whatever_6785]

The base models of samsungs s series are basically a joke to me. The camera hardware remains unchanged for years now and pair that up with the low battery capacity, slow charging and the return of the exynos chips, there are just tons of better phones at the price-point they are selling it. The only saving grace that they have is literally just their software imo.

[@azivt5115]

the only real advantage with with S series are DEX and wireless charger other than that a friend of mine just got A55 its good phone. For everyday user A55 is better and cheaper option

[@sydguitar99]

A lot of people don't realize the 7 years of updates are also baked into the price of the s24, which helps with resale value

[@ivodeniro]

The 3rd extra factor is that s24 has Dex. And also more pocketable.

[@kerkiraz]

And just what is that emanating smell from this video? However the Samsung s24 is currently available for less than £420 on Amazon.

how horrid that all these new phones dont allow for micro sd cards, a tb of storage is like 50 bucks and they simply remove that option, so now you gotta spend over a hundred extra to get 128gb more. and what if your phone gets lost or destroyed? they want it all in the cloud. My phone broke and i can recover al data from the micro sd, but these damn new phones dont have any slot to input it. no so futuristic now is it

[@ndmukuk]

For a similar size I'd have compared the A55 to the S24 plus. The cost difference is even bigger.

That's the reason why I went with the regular S24 lol

[@ndmukuk]

@@WhatGear ha ha fair enough. Plus good to have a small phone as well.

It would be better if you have compared it with S24 plus (the battery, weight and screen would be a match) cos it's bigger
