Pros

Human Checked Mobile Phone Pros&Cons With Quality Mark
Camera
The A55 ticks all the boxes – great design, awesome display, excellent camera and a long-lasting battery.
On the camera side, you have a 50-megapixel wide main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide and a 5-megapixel macro camera.
Performance
The one aspect that the A55 5G does have the upper hand is its larger screen size at 6.6 inches. This makes it a great all-rounder for watching videos, gaming, and browsing the web.
Design
The device has a sleek and premium design with an aluminium frame with a brushed metal finish, flat edges and a glossy rear panel.
The new A55 boasts a bigger display, a more powerful chipset, more RAM in the base configuration and a tougher and more premium build.
Display
The device has a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and compatible with HDR10+.
The Samsung Galaxy A55 is still a damn nice phone thanks to its gorgeous screen and aluminium frame.
Connectivity
The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G smartphone proves you don’t have to spend big money to buy a sleek feature-packed phone.
Cons

Design
The design is a little outdated. [source: expertreviews]

Battery
No wireless charging. [source: techguide]

Now to be clear, you are not getting all the features of the Galaxy S series like better camera quality and zoom, Galaxy AI, the S Pen or wireless charging. [source: techguide]

Price
The competition is catching up, and we've seen some pretty solid midrangers come out in the first quarter of this year. [source: gsmarena]

Other
While the A35 might offer better value. [source: gadgetguy]

What made the A54 good in 2023 doesn't necessarily mean it will be enough in 2024. [source: gsmarena]
