Reviewer verdict

Across 13 YouTube reviews, the Samsung Galaxy A55 earns an Index score of 3.6/5, ranking #91 among Smartphones. Reviewers most often praise its camera, design and build, display, while the most common criticisms concern camera, other.

The Galaxy A55 is widely praised for its camera system, with many reviewers (57 mentions) highlighting a strong 50MP primary sensor, natural colors, good dynamic range, reliable night and selfie performance, and 4K30 video from multiple lenses. Reviewers also frequently commend its design and build (40 mentions), noting Gorilla Glass Victus+, an aluminum frame, IP67 water/dust resistance and a premium feel. The 6.6-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display earns consistent praise (37 mentions) for brightness, color and smoothness, and Samsung’s software support and One UI (27 mentions) are seen as dependable with promised OS/security updates. Performance, battery life, stereo audio and expandable storage are additional commonly cited strengths across reviews, though mentioned somewhat less often than the camera, design and display.

Criticisms most often target secondary cameras and zoom capabilities (26 mentions), with reviewers calling the ultrawide and 5MP macro underwhelming, telephoto/strong zoom absent, and low-light ultrawide/ video sometimes soft or overexposed. Performance and gaming received repeated concerns (22 mentions) about the Exynos 1480’s optimization, mixed gaming framerates and occasional throttling or hiccups. Other frequent downsides include relatively slow charging and lack of wireless charging or an included charger (11 mentions), thicker bezels/heavier feel and some design complaints (17 mentions), and software/feature omissions compared with Samsung flagships such as Galaxy AI/DeX (14 mentions).

Cons (146)

Camera (26)

the 12 megap Ultra wide angle camera can also take some good shots but I found it to be less reliable it does not have the best of details and exposure control could be a hit or a Miss ▶ Samsung Galaxy A55 Review- Watch Before Buying! @ 7:04
lacks a dedicated telephoto lens ▶ Samsung Galaxy A55 5G In-Depth Review - Pros & Cons | Samsun @ 4:13
I found that the ultra wideangle camera struggles to bring in more light and hence they look dark with compromised dynamic range you can turn on night mode but I found that in most instances the dark mode makes the images look very artificial ▶ Samsung Galaxy A55 Review- Watch Before Buying! @ 7:29
night video is where I'll be harsh towards this phone as it can at most record up to 4K 30 FPS or 1080p 60 FPS but the bright signboards are just Overexposed ▶ HUGE improvements! Samsung Galaxy A55 review! @ 6:51
one thing I wish this phone had is especially considering the price hike is a 3X teleport lens ▶ Samsung Galaxy A55 Review- Watch Before Buying! @ 7:55
I only consider two of them to be usable here because the macro camera is just well it takes this type of picture ▶ HUGE improvements! Samsung Galaxy A55 review! @ 5:04
Samsung should have used a teley macro lens with autofocus if they wanted a actual usable macro camera ▶ HUGE improvements! Samsung Galaxy A55 review! @ 5:12
ultrawide cameras 4K videos are softer and less detailed than the main cams ▶ Samsung Galaxy A55 review @ 6:07

the exos 1418 at the time of doing our gaming test there are many games that just do not officially support this chipset nor are optimized for it yet so the performance is a bit of a hit and miss ▶ HUGE improvements! Samsung Galaxy A55 review! @ 2:58
one thing that's still uh question mark here is how is this exos chipset going to hold up in 2 to three years time ▶ Samsung Galaxy A55 Review- Watch Before Buying! @ 5:12
just like we saw with the xenos 1380 the 1480 is also not optimized for gaming I am averaging just 30 FPS in pubg Mobile and genin impact scores that are comparable to budget phones of 2024 this new chipset actually has the AMD exlipse 530 GPU so I kind of expected it to perform better even in optimized games like Call of Duty the max FPS it can go is just 38 so maybe it can get better with future updates but it looks unlikely given the xenos history hence if you play a lot of AAA games this phone is simply not for you ▶ Samsung Galaxy A55 Review- Watch Before Buying! @ 3:42
