I've got the new Samsung Galaxy A55 in my hand, ready for review. Even at this stage, there are some things that need to be said about it.
The Galaxy A55 is Samsung ’s newest midrange, affordable smartphone, built as an alternative for those who don’t want to splash out on the Galaxy S24. But that does not mean it doesn’t feel special. Samsung has updated the design in a few subtle ways that make the Galaxy A55 look and feel desirable from the moment you pick it up.
Related On the back is Gorilla Glass Victus+, and it’s completely flat. The edge of the glass isn’t curved, and it meets the frame at a sharp angle, making the Galaxy A55 uncomfortable to hold. I’m not sure what the obsession is with entirely ignoring ergonomics, as phones don’t have to be so harsh on your palms, even with a squared-off shape. I don’t really like using a case, but this is one time where I think it’d be worth it — just to make the phone more comfortable to grip.
I’m writing this on my first day with the Galaxy A55, so I can’t assess the 5,000mAh battery’s performance yet, nor can I really comment on the new Samsung-made Exynos 1480 processor. That said, it hasn’t started out by impressing me much. Smartphones always work hard on the first few days as apps are optimized and data organized in the background, so I’m hopeful the few stutters and slowness I have noticed will gradually disappear.
Samsung’s weird release decision I liked the Galaxy A54 because it was a reasonably priced smartphone available in the U.S., the U.K., and other regions. It became an easy recommendation. However, Samsung has decided not to sell the Galaxy A55 in the U.S. at the moment and will instead only release the Galaxy A35. This may change in the future, though it’s not guaranteed to.
