[@sconnection]

The problem with most tech reviewers is they compare the phone to phones that are twice the price instead of comparing it to phones are the same price range. People who are interested in 500 dollar phones do not care that 1000 dollar phones are better or have more features. They want to know which 500 dollar phone is worth their money and offers the most bang for THEIR buck.

The A55 is completely sufficient in terms of both quality and everyday performance for 95% of users. All these debates about flagships vs. midrange have been completely exaggerated since last year at the latest. Since then, the A models of the A5X series have been as good as flagships from 3-4 years ago. You have to really focus on the actual differences, such as USB 3.x (including Dex), wireless charging, or the telephoto lens, in order to really spend a lot more money here. Because in everyday life the differences are otherwise only noticeable for excessive gamers (Genshin Impact). I now hardly understand people who spend 3x as much money for around 15% added value - and hardly use most of the additional functions of the S series in everyday life. And that's just to get a new flagship again after 3-4 years. This is complete nonsense.

[@StevealiciousTech]

Genshin Impact is indeed the great equalizer of smartphones haha.

[@saadiab5105]

U are right. But this time samsung introduced AI features on flagship. Do u think it is worthy to get a flagship just for the AI features?

[@svend.7324]

@@saadiab5105 I am sure that sooner or later AI will find its way into smartphones everywhere. And Samsung will certainly develop AI even further. It's currently still at the beginning of development, has a few useful functions, but is still more of a gimmick. To spend more money now just because of that, you have to have a very strong desire to be there right from the start.

[@theflyingscott1]

My personal phone is a Samsung S23 ultra and for my business, I use last year's Samsung A54. I have to tell you that the Samsung A54 is fabulous and people who criticise it most certainly have not used it. In terms of performance and for what I do, I can't really tell much difference between the speed of the two phones even though the display on the ultra is significantly better of course. To be honest, having realised just how good the Samsung mid range phones are, I don't think I will be buying another S-class Samsung phone due to the laws of diminishing returns. I think the mid range phones are so good now that really buying anything more is a waste of money unless you need the processing power for gaming. I would imagine that this year's Samsung a55 will be another absolutely excellent phone and I believe you can get it cheapest £350 in the UK which is less than half the price of the base iPhone. Why would you bother buying anything from Apple in this respect?

Idk whether it's different where u live but everyone tells me to never buy a new unlocked phone from Amazon. This is because the phones they sell on Amazon sometimes aren't what you think they are. They will sound good on paper but the parts are either older or they are from another country with a lower budget (China for example). The only thing they keep the same is the charging speeds (again I'm not sure how true this is but please just be careful)

[@FutileGrief]

I completely disagree about the camera comment. I'm a visual artist and there's nothing more annoying than having one's pictures automatically and ridiculously over saturated. That's not an easy fix. Taking photos from real life, as close as possible, even if dulling them a little bit for the sake of accuracy but also pixel "cleanliness" is an absolute must for me. You can edit those photos and make them look how you want. Having to work around overly saturated and vibrant photos is a pain in the arse.

[@AalaFathi]

what do you think of the pro mode on the camera do you rather change the color there or after in editing?

[@FutileGrief]

@@AalaFathi I just ordered this phone but I haven't used it so I couldn't tell you. But as a general rule, if you can edit the aperture and shutter speed on site, as you're taking the picture and depending on the look you're looking for, then that will help tremendously in post processing. However if you find yourself in a position where you don't have time to edit all the settings and you have to take the picture immediately, then using the default mode that allows for enough information in the lightest areas and the darkest areas is the way to go. Which is why I prefer a neutral, balanced, unsaturated default camera.

[@talebsaad7246]

Hey brother. What do you think about the A55 so far? How's the Camera? Do you recommend it for someone who loves taking photos of cars n Sunset and Sunrise and taking videos of moving objects? Cheers

[@FutileGrief]

@@talebsaad7246 hi! I would look for a different phone honestly. The dynamic range is atrocious and I feel like it has some AI type bullsht that won't let you have full control over it. I guess the main camera is ok, but be aware it uses a digital zoom from 2x, so not great. I don't know, I'm not entirely pleased with it. Good night mode pictures tho! But terrible selfies.I've been told the Google Pixel phone has the best camera on the market, even at the same level of the iPhone.

[@razzaMAtaZz_]

8GB base is huge for these phones, in the states the A54 was just 6GB, Europe got a 8GB version ..and that is the key spec regarding how fast it feels. The navy color on the A55 this year is awesome too. The default wallpapers are horrible though :/

I am struggeling at my decision. Should I buy the A55 or the S24? Many people say that you'll notice much difference except for the price. Surley the S24 is better in some things, but it's also a flagship phone. But instead of buying 300€ more for a S24 i think the A55 do also a really great job and till the end a normal user will not notice the difference. What say the community here?

[@eckehareckbert2731]

Same here but I'm thinking of s24+. Company/my work provided me s24 but I don't like the sound/music, personally I wouldn't replace my old personal phone S9note if the battery isn't an issue but since I have problem with my battery, Im thinking to buy either S24+ but it has the same speaker as s24 and compared to sound quality of between s24 vs A55, I feel sound is much pleasant in A55. But I think if someone prefers a pic quality or something then I'm not sure about it coz don't have A55 to compare.. I just tried the sound/KZbin in the store, I'm very sensitive to sound actly coz I love listening to songs so I distinguished the difference

[@Mikri90]

The regular S24 is smaller, if budget isn't a concern, I'd get that over anything else just for the size. But it's going to perform better, have a better camera, have longer support, have a better screen and wireless charging. Only you can decide how much is this worth to you. From a day to day usage standpoint, I doubt most of these things are that relevant, except of course the size.

We all go through a gaming phase but as we grow up we spend on gaming rigs or even gaming consoles so we stop gaming on our phones. I'm on my 20s and I went from testing the gpu limits of my phones to just using my high-end device for youtube and tiktok. The one thing other samsung phones have (for a 60%+ larger price) on this one is the camera, so if you're a content creator or you have a large following and you want your pics to look as crisp as possible (for the price) then a phone like the s23fe could do it. If you're gonna show pics of your cat to your friends and family then the A55 seems to do just fine (like really, sites like whatssap and instagram compress the shit out of your images so your phone won't matter) Ordering my A55 as of typing this.

I had a Samsung Galaxy A70 for the past 4-5 years and desperately needed an upgrade. I go the Google Pixel 8 about a week ago and I'm really hating it so far. It's putting me off using my phone!

I'm missing the Samsung things I used every day, like their notes app and being able to group apps... also for some reason on the Pixel 8 you can't see your photos, videos and screenshots in one place!?? I'm seriously considering changing it for the A55 as the cameras seem like they are very similar, is a very similar price (managed to get the Pixel 8 on a good deal but doesn't feel worth it), and I won't have google shouting at me to pay for storage every day...

@abdulmaliksuleman9111 seems pointless tho, I don't see any binifits to just carrying 2 phones, seems like a hassle to me

[@marksouthwell4490]

​@@GameOver-nm2us I have 2 phones. One acts as my landline, the other I take out with me. One acts as a back up phone in case I lose my other

FYI...I used this phone in the US on Verizon and it worked perfectly. No issues...

I have an s24 ultra and prefer this A55 to that phone.

Good to hear!

Ur right ✅️ bro it's a really great all rounder mobile 📱 I too own an a55 5g it's really good ❤it

[@philm6674]

I picked up a A35. Solid performance and battery.

[@Odipodi]

I've just purchased the A55. My iPhone was donated to a family member where it belongs. The Samsung range is so much more user-friendly. I'm sold on this brand.

[@Mingregory1798]

does it have SD card slot and 3.5 jack?

[@EnhancedKungFuGirl]

SD card slot yes, but not 3.5mm jack sadly

[@Malmaddy]

Smooth buttery phone with good battery life and stereo speakers

Absolutely!

[@MrYoofer121]

Also the sound is max tier, stereo very loud and bassy

[@alin.1704]

I have this phone. The only thing I wish it would be better it's the battery. Even with energy saving on, still depletes pretty fast. Can't get enough screen on time 😔

[@Bas-Man1]

Turn off Bluetooth and WiFi scanning

[@saruspy337]

I'm changing A50 to A55 and I got A55 for 20% discount also so that also got me to buying that phone.

[@ZWGamemasterGame]

Micro sd slot is a must

[@nathanielacquaye8366]

it a good phone but the down side for me is it cost the same as an open box or slightly use iphone 13 in my country with which you get a flagship experience

[@balecalduin1993]

Yes but how much support left and updates on the 13? Factor that in

[@wewey5684]

Well youre right camera is not good. Its great. Im watching on my A55. and samsung here in the Philippines bundled this with samsung galaxy buds and charging brick. hows that? $400 phone with a free charger and buds FE worth 150

[@jackuk2024]

Here in Iraq for a 256/8GB A55 is only 360$ without the accessories means only Box and phone and a cable.

[@jackuk2024]

I think that my comment is not shown by the way here in Iraq is only 360$ for a 256/8GB A55 only the phone and Box and a cable.

[@FastTrack-1]

Phone screen brightness.....how does it compare ? If outside I found this can be an issue.

[@sanjayborkar6194]

what about its heating

[@GaetanoProchilo1989]

This phone has only 2 problems: 1) The price 2) No telephoto camera

[@inteli3i5i7]

If they gave a telephoto camera in this then no one will buy the S24 and S24+.

[@nathansstuff1547]

I'd say photos being less saturated is a good thing. A lot of previous Samsung phones have gone overboard and it usually looks way uglier that way. Biggest reason I've personally used Pixel's.

[@Jason-mengele]

I'm planning to upgrade to A55 and I'm excited

[@tirenickle1]

I think the camera is a combination of the camera itself and the screen of the phone , would be interesting if you put picture on a laptop and compare the pictures there

[@souviksarkar2431]

I always stick to Samsung. This is my fourth after Note 2, Note 5 and A71. S series is now too expensive for me. Considered S23 FE but no SD card and heating issue resisted me from buying that. Customization and automation are reasons why I don't look at other brands. Till the day Samsung keeps its game up with Routines and Good Lock and others don't match, I'll stick to Samsung. Plus they provide password manager, Smart Switch (made the transition from A71 smooth and saved me a lot of time), some great features for video and photo editing. I'm not into high end gaming so I don't even need Snapdragon. And I never have touched before such a gorgeous phone. Downsides are: the screen is probably not very scratch resistant, there is no 3.5 mm jack, the phone is extremely slippery.

[@justinglenn69]

I have had the A55 for just on 2 weeks and loving it.

[@gianpakasa]

About the camera, in my experience with A52S, I can say that Samsung after a year of updates did improved a lot the camera's software. So, A55 by Feb 2025 will be much better than now

[@jiffonbuffo]

What about RAW photos? Afaik, a54 users on reddit says it can be enabled by rooting but that (rooting) would just cause other issues I'd rather avoid. Was this always intentional for A series? Would give up the jack but not the sd card and I hate how Xiaomi does it the other way around (headphone jack ✅, sd card ❌).😢

[@jiffonbuffo]

I also ignored the exynos comments as this one has AMD gpu.

[@JaymesHayes-x4c]

Just got it its way better then the a54 the feel is premium

[@StevealiciousTech]

Definitely, was quite surprised when I picked it up.

[@JaymesHayes-x4c]

@StevealiciousTech yes that's correct its amazing how the aluminium feels and changes the feel of the phone

[@G-Man01]

Ive got a samsung s20 FE. Still perfectly fine. But since ive had it 4 years, the A55 is a perfectly suited upgrade to last another 4 or 5 years. It's also in a 256GB 12 GB RAM variant.

[@AregGhazaryan]

i just bought one, have been using couple of days, have zero complaints

[@pinroshan020]

Im a samsung/android fanboy but i honestly dont care about midrange phones because its not worth the price. If im gonna buy a phone under 500$, ill just buy a 2nd hand flagship phone.

[@mdluk199]

Here in the UK the A55 is going on Amazon for the equivalent of $319 - that's a stunning price for a very good phone

[@bassyey]

But those have worse battery life. Battery is a consumable. Unless you'll have the battery replaced.

[@alexdenton6586]

Actually, I'm not sure, but I do have some doubts about whether it's a good deal to go for a mid-range product. I always think it might be better to buy a refurbished or second-hand phone that is two or three years old, or even older, which would cost the same price, but at least you're getting something that was considered high-end at the time. For the same price, you get something that is mid-range-is it really worth it after all? Wouldn't it be better to spend 500 euros on an old flagship that was top-of-the-line at its release rather than spending the same amount on something mediocre that you will keep for several years? That's the question I'm pondering.

[@StevealiciousTech]

We talk about that a lot. And no, that's not always the best case for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. I spend a good amount of time on that in one of my previous videos. You can't go into your AT&T store and ask to get an S21 Ultra for 3 dollars a month, software support is gone or low. Battery life issues. Etc.

[@alexdenton6586]

@@StevealiciousTech Sure, it’s a valid point-whether it’s refurbished or used matters, and if the battery has been replaced, it could very well make for a device that's good for several more years. But you’re right about the software support; it’s not always great, especially with older Samsung models. I recently gifted a friend an older S22, and honestly, it works perfectly. I got it for a good price for his birthday, and it was about time he upgraded from his old Galaxy S10. I can afford to always buy the latest phone each year, but not everyone can. When I was talking earlier and wondering, it was mostly about whether, for gifts, it might be better to opt for something older that was top of the line back then rather than a mid-range model now.

@peachmangoapolpie6978 Its alright. It's a phone, battery is good its fast it feels premium. It took me a long time to move everything over, though camera is significantly better security I imagine is better too. Fingerprint unlock is however under the screen which takes some getting used to and is a bit slower than the side one on my old mi 10

My only complaint is WHY on earth do they have to make them ever larger and heavier? A34 was very difficult to get used to in terms of portability, now the A series is even larger and heavier 🙄

[@StevealiciousTech]

Yeah, I don't know. That's kind of why I like that the Pixel 8a kept the smaller size...we need at least some options there.
