I bought the Samsung Galaxy A55 in May from my local Samsung store. I have loved it ever since and I can say that it is the best smartphone I have ever had in my life. At just £500 (UK Currency) it's a really impressive device. It may not have the latest flagship Samsung AI features but if you are not going to use those features then it's not a big deal. The cameras are pretty decent too (I don't use my cameras very much so I didn't see the point in spending double the price just for great cameras). It feels very comfortable in my hands and I love how they have added a metal frame to make it more protected. I bought the Ice Blue colour when I purchased the phone. I got home to realise that the phone doesn't really look as blue like it is in the ads My overall review on the phone is that I really love it and it's incredible for just £500 I even got a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds FE with it for *FREE*

the 25w charger doesnt bother me because samsung is just trying to help us care for our device. Using higher w can charge your phone faster but can also damage the battery life easily so... 🤗

[@Geekception]

Yeah I agree, but I'd still want the possibility at least. Sometimes I just need a quick top up without waiting an hour

[@MLWJ1993]

It would've been a welcome option (off by default), but I don't particularly miss it personally. That said, I've never owned a high end smartphone because I don't need the extra features I'd get there. So maybe I'm a lot more forgiving than a smartphone reviewer. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Geekception]

@@MLWJ1993 yeah, i hear you. thanks for sharing your perspective

[@jaylikesfrieskekwxdxdxd]

​@@Geekception yeah tbh one of the reasons why I tried but could not adjust to samsung, pixel and apple phones. Having to wait for more than an hour sucks just to be fully charged. So many people say"it's to protect the battery". Battery replacements are cheap compared to having to worry about "damaging the phone battery" every single time. I'm tired of people making terrible excuses for having awful charging speeds in 2024.

[@Geekception]

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?

That is such a bullcrap busines strategy, they really don't give a fk about design like AT ALL. who cares if it can do magic if it looks f*gly??? like really it's so TACKY. I'm so fed up with samsung just designing for design sake. not to mention their UI design and animation is sooo inconsistent it's not even close to FLUID.

[@wesleyallin5487]

​@bignoob2726 no its not overpriced a lot of tech guys who have done reviews are saying it's fantastic phone for your money. Why spend over £1000 for nearly a new S series when the A55 is nearly as good for around half the price

[@bignoob2726]

@wesleyallin5487 you'd only think that it's nearly as good if you haven't used a flagship before... if you've used a flagship, then you'd know. Just as two examples, they hyped up the screen telling you that it's flagship quality. But if you u put it side by side with any s phone from s10 onwards, u can very clearly see that the flagship dynamic amoled has far more color than the super amoled of the a55. Example 2, they tell u that a55 has amazing cameras, yet it loses to s21 cameras. They tell you that it has surprisingly good performance, but other midrangers in 2024 offer better performance. It's gaming performance is that of s20 exynos... There's nothing amazing about this phone. You're basically paying for the flagship look. With none of the flagship, when you could get an actual older flagship that's far better with the same money. Or even less if you are willing to go for a refurbished one.
