Samsung Galaxy A55 5G: Premium Build and Long Support in the A-Series. Score 83/100.

Read review →

Our verdict

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G earns 83/100 because its strongest qualities are genuinely useful rather than cosmetic. Exynos 1480 performance is only mid-range, charging is slow, and the phone is relatively heavy.

Buying advice

Buy the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G if you are among buyers who want Samsung software, good build quality and long ownership fundamentals rather than maximum performance. Compare current local pricing carefully, because older flagships and newer mid-rangers can overlap heavily in 2026.
