Samsung Galaxy A55 review: still on its A game?
The Samsung Galaxy A55 is a solid mid-range phone that upsizes the display to 6.6-inches for this series, giving the people what they want, but does come up against stiff competition in the Nothing Phone (2a) and presents some graphical stutters when gaming – which holds it back a mite.- Metal build yet cost-effective, Large 6.6-inch OLED display, Strong battery life
- Processor sees some performance stutters, Cameras not up to usual Galaxy levels, Nothing Phone (2a) competition
Samsung Galaxy A55 review: mid tier has never looked so high end
The Samsung Galaxy A55 sets itself apart from other phones in this price bracket as a mid-range phone in a premium shell. A truly beautiful – and functional – new metal and glass design, combined with a large 6.6-inch display, smooth performance and long-lasting battery life make this the perfect...- Premium, stylish design, Long-lasting battery, Excellent value
- Slightly disappointing camera results, Easily picks up fingerprint smudges, Mediocre charging speed
The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G doesn't feel mid-range
If you want a Samsung Galaxy phone that feels and looks expensive without costing an absolute fortune, you’ve found it. Charging speed and raw performance could be better, but a large chunk of the Galaxy A55’s prospective audience will barely notice the difference most of the time.- Full metal and glass bodywork, Excellent water resistance, Top quality display glass
- Relatively slow charging, Beaten for gaming power at this level, No bundled case or charger
Samsung Galaxy A55 5G review
With a step up in build quality, a larger display, and a faster processor, the Galaxy A55 5G is a worthy advancement over the Galaxy A54 5G. It’s cheaper than before too, though still not the outstanding value of some of its competitors.- Premium build, Cheaper than before, Strong stamina, Decent software support
- Slow charging, Still not as good value as the competition, Slightly bulky
I reviewed the Samsung Galaxy A55. It didn’t go as expected
“The Samsung Galaxy A55 returns long battery life and strong performance, which, combined with its reliable software, makes it a great everyday smartphone.”- Two-day battery life, Big screen is great for media, Metal and glass design looks modern, Long software commitment
- Uncomfortable to hold, No wireless charging, Wired charging is slower than the competition
Samsung Galaxy A55 review: a sleek step up
While the A35 might offer better value, the Samsung Galaxy A55 is still a damn nice phone thanks to its gorgeous screen and aluminium frame.- Improved overall performance for the same price, Aluminium frame adds more grip and a premium feel, eSIM support
- Noisy low-light photos, Very similar to the A35
Samsung Galaxy A55 review: metal makes the difference
Flagship style with a mid-range twist- Materials and build quality on par with pricier phones, Decent performance and respectable battery life, Capable cameras for stills and video
- Screen bezels are a bit bulky, Tries to tempt you with bloatware on initial setup, Similarly fast and long-lasting rivals cost considerably less
Samsung Galaxy A55 Review: Bigger and (Slightly) Cheaper
The Galaxy A55 carries the responsibility of being part of one of Samsung’s best-selling families. For 2024, the mid-range phone has a more premium metal finish and a bigger display. But is it just an evolution of the Galaxy A54 or can it be an alternative with the flagship Galaxy S family?- Good AMOLED screen, Good performance in apps and games, The best update policy in the category
- Some bloatware, Slow battery charging, No headphone jack
Samsung Galaxy A55 Review – Tougher, more secure all-rounder phone with 5G tested
The Samsung Galaxy A55 builds on the solid formula of its predecessors and expands on it in meaningful ways, blending a number of desirable features from flagship phones while adding enhanced security via their Samsung Knox Vault to the mix, all at a reasonable price point.- Excellent quality display, Expandable storage with microSD card slot, Good performance from main camera with OIS, IP67 dust and water resistance, Stereo speakers, Good build quality with metal chassis and Gorilla Glass Victus, More robust security with Samsung Knox Vault
Samsung Galaxy A55 review: Easy fix
Thanks to a few key under-the-hood improvements, this year's Galaxy A55 is easier to recommend for those who like everything about Samsung's flagship phones bar the price.- Glitzy design, Long battery life, Better processor and camera
- Only have access to a handful of AI features, No wireless charging
