Samsung Galaxy A55 Review 2024: A Complete Buyer’s Guide US, UK, Canada, India & Pakistan

Introduction And Unboxing 

The success of the Galaxy A54 has set the bar high for the just-released Galaxy A55. The Galaxy A55 launch follows strong expectations. After the Samsung Galaxy S and Z foldable series, the Galaxy A5x series is likely the most popular in the company’s portfolio for good reason.

Most other aspects of what made the Galaxy A54 successful remain untouched – the microSD card support, good primary camera garnished with a decent ultrawide shooter, dependable battery life and IP67-rated build. Moreover, this time, the Galaxy A55 uses an aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection.

But will this be enough to persuade potential buyers to pick the Galaxy A55? After all, the sub-€500 competition in Europe is fierce, and the same goes for the Indian INR 40,000-ish bracket.

What made the A54 good in 2023 doesn’t necessarily mean it will be enough in 2024. The competition is catching up, and we’ve seen some pretty solid midrangers come out in the first quarter of this year, so stick around to see if the Galaxy A55 is worth your hard-earned money and whether Galaxy A55 offers the value you expect.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 is Samsung’s newest mid-range phone of 2024, positioned as the successor to the highly popular Galaxy A54. With a premium aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection, long-term software support, and a balanced mix of performance and camera features, the Galaxy A55 aims to be the best mid-range option under $500/₹40,000/PKR 130,000 and the Galaxy A55 promises strong longevity.

But is it truly worth buying compared to rivals like the Google Pixel 8a, OnePlus 12R, and iPhone SE (2024)? Let’s dive into this in-depth Galaxy A55 review, packed with real user experiences, expert insights, comparisons, and pricing details for US, UK, Canada, India, and Pakistan buyers who are considering the Galaxy A55.

Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy A55

The Galaxy A55 comes in a modest retail box with only some user manuals, a SIM tool and a USB-C to USB-C cable for charging and data transfer. There’s no charger included.

Samsung Galaxy A55 Design And Build

Design, build quality, handling

At first glance, the Galaxy A55 looks almost identical to the A54, but some subtle changes have made it feel like a different phone in hand, and we mean that mostly positively.

Performance & Daily Use

The Samsung Galaxy A55 strikes a balance between raw power and polished everyday usability. Unlike flagship killers such as the OnePlus 12R or gaming-centric phones, Samsung’s mid-range A-series has always prioritized consistency, stability, and long-term reliability over chasing benchmark numbers. Let’s break down how the A55 performs in real life and how it stacks up against rivals.

The Chipset: Exynos 1480 with Xclipse GPU

At its heart, the Galaxy A55 runs on the Exynos 1480 chipset, built on Samsung’s 4nm process. This SoC is paired with the Xclipse 530 GPU, co-developed with AMD, making it one of the most notable upgrades in Samsung’s A-series history.

• CPU Performance: Everyday apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Gmail, and Chrome launch quickly without lag. Switching between multiple apps feels smooth thanks to the efficient cores.
  
• GPU Performance: While it’s not a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 rival, the Xclipse GPU offers a solid step-up from the Exynos 1380 in the A54, particularly in graphics-heavy tasks.
  

Benchmarks vs. Real-World

• In Geekbench 6, the A55 posts respectable scores, outperforming last year’s A54 by around 15–20%.
  
• In 3DMark Wild Life, gaming stability is improved, though throttling occurs during extended sessions.
  
• But numbers aside, the fluidity in daily usage is what stands out—Samsung’s software optimization ensures fewer hiccups compared to similarly priced competitors.
  

Multitasking & Productivity

Thanks to 8GB/12GB RAM variants, the phone comfortably handles multiple apps open at once. You can:

• Stream YouTube while browsing Twitter
  
• Jump between Excel/Docs and messaging apps without reloads
  
• Run Instagram, Spotify, and background navigation smoothly
  

For professionals or students, this phone feels reliable for work-from-home setups, online classes, and hybrid productivity workflows.

Gaming Experience

🎮 Light to Medium Gaming: Titles like Clash Royale, Asphalt 9, and Pokémon Go run effortlessly at high settings.
🎮 Heavy Gaming: For PUBG, COD Mobile, and Genshin Impact, medium-to-high settings are recommended. The A55 manages good frame rates, but extended play can warm the device.
🎮 Reality Check: Hardcore gamers may prefer the OnePlus 12R (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2), but for the majority of casual-to-moderate gamers, the A55 is more than enough.

Thermal Management & Sustained Performance

Samsung seems to have improved thermal control in the A55. While the device does warm up under heavy multitasking or 4K video recording, it doesn’t overheat to uncomfortable levels. Sustained performance is more stable than the A54, meaning fewer slowdowns during prolonged use.

Software Optimization: One UI 6.1 on Android 14

Samsung’s One UI 6.1 deserves credit here. It’s not just about specs; the software polish makes the phone feel snappier than some rivals with technically stronger processors. Features like RAM Plus (virtual memory), Smart Widgets, Secure Folder, and Edge Panels add convenience to daily usage.

Connectivity & Network Experience

• 5G & LTE: Works smoothly in India, UK, Canada, and Pakistan. US buyers (Amazon imports) should double-check carrier compatibility—T-Mobile works best.
  
• Wi-Fi 6 support: Faster, more stable connections.
  
• Call Quality: Clear audio on calls, with good noise cancellation even in crowded spaces.
  

User Experience in Daily Life

• Scrolling & UI Fluidity: The 120Hz AMOLED panel makes social media apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter buttery smooth.
  
• Content Consumption: Netflix and Prime Video stream in Full HD with HDR10+ support.
  
• Battery Management: Even with heavy daily use (social apps + 2 hours video + light gaming), the A55 comfortably lasts a full day.
  
• Haptic Feedback & Responsiveness: Improved vibrations make typing and navigation feel premium.
  

Verdict on Performance & Daily Use

The Samsung Galaxy A55 is not a raw performance monster, but it nails the experience that matters to 90% of users—smooth multitasking, great display fluidity, and reliable day-to-day performance. If you’re a heavy gamer or need flagship-level horsepower, you might lean toward a Snapdragon-based rival. But if you value stability, long-term updates, and balanced everyday usability, the A55 shines.

Refresh Rate

Refresh rate control is pretty standard. You have two options – Adaptive and Standard. The latter puts a cap at 60Hz, while Adaptive will try to keep the refresh rate at 120Hz in most scenarios. However, when showing static images or playing video, the display will dial down to 60Hz.

Battery life

The Galaxy A55 uses the same 5,000 mAh battery as its predecessors, but it’s running a new Exynos 1480 chipset, which promises improved efficiency. However, we have to take into account the display, which is now 0.2″ larger and could contribute to increased power consumption.

Yet, we see a significant improvement in battery life over the Galaxy A54. There are notable improvements in all tests except gaming.

The new Galaxy A55 achieves an Active Use Score of 13:27h, which is very good. Web browsing and call time see improvements, but our video streaming test is by far the biggest upgrade compared to last year’s model.

Camera Experience

The Samsung Galaxy A55 carries forward Samsung’s mid-range photography tradition but with a few refinements that make it stand out against rivals in 2024. While the hardware setup looks identical to last year’s A54 on paper, Samsung has made noticeable improvements in processing, color science, and detail handling, making the A55 a more reliable shooter for most conditions.

Camera Hardware Setup

• Main Camera (Wide): 50MP Sony IMX906, f/1.8, 1/1.56″, OIS, PDAF
  
• Ultra-Wide Camera: 12MP Sony IMX258, f/2.2, 123˚ FoV, fixed focus
  
• Macro Camera: 5MP, f/2.4
  
• Front Camera: 32MP Sony IMX616, f/2.2, 1/2.74″, pixel-binning
  

Samsung’s choice of the 12MP ultrawide sensor instead of the common 8MP found on competitors like Redmi Note 13 Pro+ or Realme 12 Pro+ already gives the A55 a big edge.

Low-Light Photography

🌙 Main Camera (Night Mode ON)

• Night mode triggers automatically in most dim situations.
  
• Produces clean, sharp, and well-balanced photos with minimal noise.
  
• Colors remain natural, and highlights/shadows are preserved well.
  
• A clear step-up from A54 in terms of processing.
  

🌙 2x Zoom in Low Light

• Surprisingly decent — retains detail but adds a touch of noise and softness.
  
• Not perfect, but usable for casual night shots.
  

🌙 Ultra-Wide at Night

• This is the weak spot.
  
• Photos are usable, but details drop, and noise becomes noticeable.
  
• Dynamic range struggles in high-contrast situations.

Nighttime camera performance is mostly solid, mainly because the system often triggers the dedicated Night mode.

When the Night mode kicks in, you can enjoy natural-looking, detailed, sharp, and clean photos. Contrast and colors are also on point.

The samples we took without the Night mode can be easily distinguished – they lack contrast, have clipped highlights and have muted colors.

---

Selfie Camera (32MP Front)

The 32MP selfie shooter continues to be one of Samsung’s strengths in the mid-range.

• Outputs 12MP shots (wide mode) and 8MP (crop mode) after pixel binning.
  
• Sharp, detailed, and natural-looking selfies, with accurate skin tones.
  
• HDR works well to prevent overexposed backgrounds.
  
• Great for social media creators—no extra filters needed.

Selfies out of the Galaxy A55’s 32MP should be coming out at 8MP after pixel binning, but we get 12MP photos instead – at least in the wide mode that covers the camera’s native field of view. There is also a crop mode, as usual, which can make your face fill up the frame better, and in this mode, you’re getting the selfies in 8MP.

The selfies here are excellent. They are detailed and relatively sharp (as long as the lighting conditions are optimal), and the colors look natural. The HDR algorithm is doing a good job of maintaining exposure on the subject’s face without blowing up the background.

---

Video Recording

🎥 Main Camera

• Shoots 4K @ 30fps with EIS (electronic stabilization).
  
• Videos are sharp, colorful, and contrasty with wide dynamic range.
  
• Slight artificial sharpening noticeable on foliage but not distracting.

The Galaxy A55’s video recording capabilities haven’t changed one bit. The device can still record 2160p@30fps videos with EIS using the main camera. The ultrawide unit is also capable of recording 4K@30fps footage, which isn’t something you’d normally see on a budget phone.

The 4K footage with the main camera looks very inviting – punchy colors, good contrast, plenty of fine detail and wide dynamic range. While sharp, the clip we took suggests that Samsung has added a bit of artificial sharpening, which you can notice on the trees and grass. There’s a little bit of noise in there as well. But generally, we like the video recording capabilities.

🎥 Ultra-Wide Camera

• Also supports 4K @ 30fps — rare in this segment.
  
• Produces smooth and stabilized video, though with less detail at night.
  

🎥 Front Camera

• Capable of 4K @ 30fps selfies — excellent for vloggers, influencers, and students.
  
• Natural skin tones and stable video even while walking.

Camera Comparison (Galaxy A55 vs Rivals)

Feature	Samsung A55	Pixel 8a	OnePlus 12R
Main Camera	50MP OIS (balanced, natural)	64MP (best low-light, AI-heavy)	50MP (contrast-heavy)
Ultrawide	12MP, sharp & usable	13MP, average	8MP, weaker
Selfies	32MP, detailed & HDR	13MP, accurate but less detailed	16MP, average
Video	4K @ 30fps (rear + ultrawide + selfie)	4K @ 30fps (rear/front)	4K @ 60fps (rear only)

👉 The Pixel 8a still wins in computational photography (especially low light), but the A55 is more versatile overall, particularly for ultrawide shots and vlogging.

Solid triple-camera setup on the back

The camera setup from the Galaxy A54 remains unchanged. We have a 50MP main camera aided by a 12MP ultrawide camera and a 5MP dedicated macro unit. The selfie shooter is once again 32MP.

• Wide (main): 50 MP Sony IMX906, f/1.8, 1/1.56″, PDAF, OIS; 2160p@30fps
• Ultra wide angle: 12 MP Sony IMX258, f/2.2, 123˚ (ultrawide), 1/3.06″, 1.12µm, fixed focus; 2160p@30fps
• Macro: 5 MP, f/2.4, fixed focus.
• Front camera: 32 MP Sony IMX616, f/2.2, 1/2.74″, 0.8µm, fixed focus; 2160p@30fps

We like that Samsung uses 12MP ultrawide sensors for its midrangers, as they produce far superior stills compared to their commonly used 8MP counterparts. The main sensor is also optically stabilized, which is a nice bonus to consider and Samsung used an IMX906 sensor this time around, at least according to the HWiNFO app.

Daylight photos

Main camera

Despite using the same camera hardware as last year’s Galaxy A54, the A55 demonstrates slightly different processing of stills. The main camera produces nice daylight photos with plenty of detail and a touch of additional sharpness. That last bit is the main difference between the A54 and A55. The latter seems to produce sharper and cleaner overall images. On the other hand, the new rendition offers a more conservative approach to colors – they are now closer to natural but still lively, especially foliage and sky. 

2x zoom

Samsung messed up the processing on this one. For some reason, last year’s 2x zoom photos looked better. This year, the Galaxy A55 offers subpar 2x zoom crop mode as noise is quite obvious, and everything looks fuzzy. We no longer see those sharp and detailed stills from the 1x mode. Colors, contrast, dynamic range, etc. are the same, though.

Ultrawide camera

Samsung’s ultrawide cameras are generally impressive, and the 12MP unit on Galaxy A55 is no exception. In fact, the A55 blows past most of its competitors when comparing ultrawide cameras. We found the stills to be solid in most aspects – sharpness and detail are excellent, colors are on point, contrast is good and we don’t see any signs of color fringing either.

Cracks begin to show in high-contrast scenes and indoors, though. When ambient light isn’t sufficient, sharpness drops and noise starts to creep in. 

Dynamic range could also see some improvement due to the clipped highlights outside and crushed shadows inside. Nevertheless, those are minor problems, especially compared to the glaring issues most ultrawide cameras have in the same price bracket.

We noticed that the camera app always triggered the Night mode. However, the samples are far from ideal – most of them are quite noisy and soft, with limited dynamic range. Still, they are a tad better than most ultrawide cameras in the price range.

Real-World Camera Use Cases

• Family Photos: Natural skin tones, sharp details, good group selfie performance.
  
• Travel & Landscapes: The ultrawide camera delivers wide, detailed scenery shots.
  
• Social Media: Instagram/TikTok-ready selfies and 4K front video recording.
  
• Night Out: Reliable main sensor with Night Mode, though ultrawide could improve.
  
• Vlogging: Rare to get 4K stabilization across rear, ultrawide, and front cameras at this price.

Battery Life & Charging Experience

The Samsung Galaxy A55 carries forward Samsung’s strong reputation for battery reliability in its mid-range lineup. With a 5,000 mAh battery, the A55 is designed to comfortably power through a full day of heavy use — whether you’re streaming, gaming, or browsing — while still leaving some charge at the end of the day.

---

Battery Specifications

• Capacity: 5,000 mAh Li-Po (non-removable)
  
• Charging Speed: 25W wired (no wireless charging support)
  
• Charger in Box: Not included (sold separately)
  
• Estimated Charging Times:
  
  • 0–50% in ~30 minutes
    
  • 0–100% in ~85–90 minutes
    

---

Endurance in Real-World Use

Everyday Tasks
With a mix of browsing, social media, and messaging (around 4–5 hours of screen time), the Galaxy A55 usually ends the day with 25–30% battery left.

Gaming

Demanding titles such as PUBG Mobile and Genshin Impact consume more power but still allow 5–6 hours of continuous play before a recharge is needed. The Exynos 1480 processor helps with improved efficiency compared to the A54’s chipset.

Streaming & Multimedia
A 2-hour Netflix session at 70% brightness consumes roughly 10–12%, while extended YouTube HDR playback shows similarly efficient results.

Standby & Background Management
Overnight battery drain is minimal (around 1–2%), showing good optimization from One UI 6.1.

---

Charging Experience

Samsung sticks to 25W wired charging for the A55. While this isn’t the fastest in its segment, it provides a reliable and consistent charging experience:

• 0–50% in around 30 minutes
  
• Full charge in 85–90 minutes
  

Samsung has also chosen not to include a charger in the box, meaning you’ll need to purchase a compatible 25W charger separately if you don’t already own one.

It delivers excellent battery life, a sharp AMOLED display, reliable cameras, and a durable build with Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. For everyday use — whether that’s social media, photography, work, or streaming — the Samsung Galaxy A55 performs smoothly and consistently.

That said, the Galaxy A55 does come with trade-offs. The 25W charging speed feels slow compared to rivals like OnePlus, Xiaomi, and Realme, which push 67W to 120W fast charging. The Exynos 1480 chipset, while efficient, is not a performance monster and won’t compete with flagship Snapdragon chips when it comes to high-end gaming. And in markets like the US, warranty support for the Galaxy A55 may be limited if purchased via Amazon imports.

Still, the Samsung Galaxy A55 has a lot going for it. With 4–5 years of Android and security updates, IP67 water resistance, and Samsung’s reliable ecosystem, it’s one of the safest mid-range investments you can make in 2025.
