Samsung has been making smartphones – great smartphones, even – for long enough to have the recipe pretty much perfected.
For a mid-range device like the Galaxy A55, that recipe is fairly straightforward: A solid camera, robust build quality and an attractive price.
The goal is to make it appealing for the mass market, but at a more affordable price than the flagship smartphones on offer.
So while Samsung still keeps its best goodies for the Galaxy S series and the Galaxy Z series, the Galaxy A55 is a more balanced phone.
There’s still plenty to get excited by though. It does get a taste of AI functionality, plus improved security and a more robust body than last year’s Galaxy A54.
