Should you buy the Samsung Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35?

Samsung Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 should be on your wishlist if you absolutely want a phone from a well-established brand.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 offers a premium design that is evident at first glance. It has an aluminium frame that is sturdy on the hands. Samsung displays are a step above the competition and the same stands true for the Galaxy A55 and the Galaxy A35 as well. The Super AMOLED display offers vivid colours and an immersive viewing experience, be it for gaming or media consumption. Both phones get an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance.

Our review finds the cameras on the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 are quite good and were able to click impressive images in good lighting conditions. The same applies to selfie shooters as well. The big plus point for the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 is the company’s promise to push out four years of OS updates, this means you will be covered until Android 18 OS.

On the flip side, the phones come with just 25W fast charging support, whereas the competition is offering a whopping up to 120W charging speeds. Even then, you need to separately buy a charger as it is not bundled within the box. The performance of the phone is not quite there with the competition as there are models with the Snapdragon 8-series in the Galaxy A55 price point that offer solid performance, especially in gaming. 

Long story short, if you want a phone from a premium brand like Samsung, the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 are your best bet now especially at the discounted prices but for those who want performance, you need to look elsewhere.
