Galaxy A55 5G

Just a great phone slim big screen easy to use and fast

I bought the 256GB variant at the sale price recently because I thought was such a bargain and I am blown away by the buttery smooth transitions and fantastic screen. Battery life also incredible. This is apparently a 'mid range' phone? You don't need anymore phone than this and with up to 4 years of updates to come it is future proof. I added a 512GB SD Card and this is my goto device for social media, music and YouTube. Photos so far have been excellent. Well done Samsung you've smashed this one out the park. Have you made it too good though 😉.....!

I have had nothing but trouble since I had this phone, which is a shame as I usually love these, I transfered all my data etc onto it from my old phone, which my husband now has,I am having trouble signing into, Google, Microsoft, my facebook profile is my picture with my husbands name, which I can't change for 60 days, he has his own account which is working perfectly, when I try to sign on to some sites it either won't except my password, or keeps sending me verification codes, even then I can't always get on them, it is driving me mad

I have just swapped my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G for the A55. I really liked the S20...it felt very good in the hand and was a great phone but battery life was becoming a bit of a concern. I tend to go for "mid range" phones as I am not a "gamer" and they represent better value for money. The A55 is "chunkier" than the S20 and feels heavier and bigger in the hand, but it is an excellent device. Very quick and responsive and tt the moment the battery life is excellent. It has everything that I need. I am very happy with this handset.

I love it! The design is just about the same as my previous Samsung Galaxy, I've updated and I will not have any other type of phone, only Samsungs. Camera is perfect, very clear, very easy to use. The display is brilliant, again similar to my previous phone. The battery, both charging and usage, much better than my previous phone. Performance is just great. I'm glad I updated. But I will only continue to use Samsung phones and I will update in 2 years, again to Samsung. This one though, first class! Highly recommend it.

Touch screen is more sensitive. Photograph quality is much higher. The screen has pin point sharpness in quality and colour. However. When opening the folder I find various apps have opened without intent. Contacts have opened at named numbers. In one case a call lasting 11 minutes had been made. Messages have been opened. In so.e cases a number of those have been selected without intent. The display often switches to dark mode without changes made by me. I bought my wife an identical phone and she has not experienced any issues such as I have. Disappointing. Though this phone has some excellent qualities. The experiences noted above dampens the enjoyment of using it. FYI. I have always bought Samsung phones, and the A55 is an upgrade to me from the previous A53.

It's been a while since I've updated my phone. So the 'Modes and Routines' feature of Android is new to me. I find this feature fantastic. It allows so much control over many aspects, but most especially power saving. It is rather a pity however, that software control of the power on/off function has been removed from this version of Android. If it were there, I could power on/off the phone automatically at particular times. This would be particularly useful when sleeping and would provide the ultimate in power saving.

I've only had the phone 3weeks and the screen has frozen on several occasions. No Idea why? The phone is in a case, has a screen protector and hasn't been damaged. I'll be writing a text and the phone will all of a sudden go back to my screen saver and save my text as Draft. If watching something on the screen ,the picture occasionally freeze and pressing 'X' won't always cancel the picture. I am hoping these are glitches that will improve whenever the next Samsung Update is due, If not, I will be concerned.

I really don't like the phone it would appear to be a cheaper version of my previous Samsung. I find that screen particularly clumsy and unresponsive to the touch. I have to hit it hard with my finger for a response. it reminds me of a cheaper copy phone that I recently borrowed. The camera is okay but doesn't redeem it's clumsy feel. I definitely would not recommend. I am on the point of walking away from my contract and walking away from the phone and vodafone who recommended it to me. I phone from now on

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Smartphone because it matched the Setup and Facilities on my Samsung Tablet model, SM-T970. This was important because I needed to setup Remote Telephone and SMS Messaging from my Tablet to my Smartphone. This works perfectly and allows my Smartphone to be mounted in a suitable position inside my house in a low Vodafone Signal area. I never move my Smartphone now. But I can move my Tablet around the house and still have access to Phone Connection and SMS connection.

I bought this at the end of last year to replace my A71 which died suddenly, no sickness period, no warning just dead :( As I wanted a replacement, I wanted it to be as good or better than the A71 and in some ways it is, however, for what I need it for, this A55 lets me down as I now have to choose between having a dual SIM or a memory card. I need both a second SIM and a memory card for my day-to-day so this was a complete let down, as not all networks currently offer an e-SIM.

I like that it's very similar to my old one! My old one (an A53) seemed to have a glitch with Google Maps, which I use a lot and couldn't seem to get rid of, so I'm relieved that has gone now. But other than that, it's exactly the same so has been a super easy transition. My only niggle is that I still have to disconnect and reconnect WiFi at home because it thinks it isn't connected when it is. It becomes a bit wearing but I'm not sure if it's the phone or the router at fault.

Unfortunately have to say slightly disappointed with this phone. On the plus side, it is very very quick and feel moving to 5G is better than my old phone. But I do have a few gripes, just a bit too heavy and bulky for the pocket. New google text message app also freezes a bit more. Google wallet is very hit and miss. Not sure camera is any better than my old A71, which I really liked - no massive improvement. However for price I paid, overall seems decent value for money.

It is a good phone / App delivery system. I have noticed the 5G difference too. The battery life is great, the overall speed of the phone is very good. Great screen size and so far the photo's are coming out good! The only 'issue' is if i leave my finger on the 'reader' for a split second too long it seems to want to help me customise my front screen. mildly annoying, Other than that it is very good. Oh, BUT 2 weeks after I bought it i noticed the black Friday price drop!

User friendly features. Right screen size for me. Photography made easy with this phone and produce high quality photos. Memory capacity can be increased by inserting micro SD card. I got so many music files ,photos and some video files. Macro & micro photos can be taken with correct camera settings. Battery charge stays longer and can be recharged quickly. WiFi & Bluetooth are working perfectly. All together appropriate device with excellent performance.

The A55 does the job and looks and feels great but don't expect too much from it. It does everything you need it to so but it isn't the quickest mid-budget on the market and I wish I had done a little more research before buying it. In all honesty if you can spend that little extra then the S23FE would be a better bet. The Camera is a bit rubbish especially the 12mp Zoom which really does not give great images at all. Save your money and get something else.

Ive had samsung 20 years, and been very happy But really don't like the a55 Not reliable in calls, intermittent reception, keeps confusing contacts and dialling someone else, or saying someone else is calling. Can't load my old calendar events, photos not as good as old s20. Takes forever to load apps. I can't change silent screen clock from showing 2 clock times ... both saying same thing!! I'd swap it in heartbeat. But I bet no-one at samsung reads this

I just simply can't believe how could such a basic thing like a jack plug be missed out from this phone! Also the display colour is all faded. My old A51 5G had much nicer colours. But to mention something good as well, the camera quality is awesome. Definitely worth the price, but missing the jack plug out was just an unforgivable sin which is the reason I give only 2 stars instead of 4 (if the colours would be better as well, it would be a stable 5)

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G has been a game-changer for our team’s productivity and creativity. Its 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display delivers stunning visuals—perfect for design work—while the massive 5,000mAh battery easily powers through full days of meetings, edits, and collaborations. But the real star is the camera system: the 50MP main sensor captures incredibly detailed shots, and the 32MP selfie camera makes our virtual client presentations look professional every time. We recently equipped our entire design team with these phones through G3 Creative (g3creative.co.uk), and the unanimous feedback has been outstanding. It’s not just a well-rounded device; it’s a powerhouse that balances performance, reliability, and exceptional value. If you’re looking for a phone that excels where it counts, the A55 5G is a brilliant investment.

Hi there, It's good mobile device, I lost my S24ULTRA two months ago in Turkey and I buy a A55 for replacement. I want to complain the camera, ram and the weight, others all good. In UK I can't buy 12GB ram version, I don't mind pay more to upgrade the camera like S24ultra camera can zoom in, if the weight like A34 means lighter 10g or more that will be great. Looking forward to a new device can achieve that and please keep the memory card slot. Thanks

A great, feature packed phone with an excellent camera. I use it for work and it operates much faster than my last phone, saving me time to do my job more efficiently. The display is bright allowing me to see the information I need even in direct sunlight. Battery life is good, but I would like to see wireless charging on subsequent models. I have a s24 for personal use and would highly recommend the a55 if your budget won't stretch to a "s" device.

The phone seems great, have loved all my Samsung phones. I've had a few issues attempting to access the Cloud to retrieve all my photos, as of yet none! When I access the cloud it says there's nothing there, it's sad to lose them. Unfortunately we weren't able to switch from the previous phone, as there had been attempted access and issues with attempted access to my email. My local EE shop worked very hard to resuscitate my old phone to no avail.

I'm very pleased with my new Samsung Galaxy A55 phone.. I like the larger screen and it's perfect for watching YouTube videos.. the camera seems to be a very high spec also, producing great pictures..my previous Galaxy S23 was 256GB storage, whereas my new A55 is only 128GB of storage, so not as good for that which is the only negative for me as I would like more storage capacity.. Overall though I'm really impressed with my new A55 phone.

Fast phone, and easy to operate. Really like the customable lockscreen. Works with all the modern apps and games. The camera much better then my previous A70 phone's camera mostly on darker areas. The macro or close photos still blurry or takes a while to set the correct focus, but on general photos I am fully satisfied with the cameras. The storage and memory are enough for everything what I use. Not sure why but few times not identified on the O2 network, had to wait few minutes while the network came back. Haven't got this problem on the A70 phone. It is have a metal casing so it's a bit heavy, so on longer calls I use a headset. I wish the Samsung make this quality of phone with a smaller 5.3-5.5"screen and lighter weight. (The car phone holder(good quality one) sometimes tipping down). For the price I got an excellent mid category phone.

O5ther than battery life the change to this phone was a mistake. 1) the trade in offer was declined because i put 2 phones in the basket and Samsung refused to allow retro trade in despite insufficient warning on the website that this was the case. 2) since transfer am still plagued with unwanted notifications e.g what was my most used app last week! I don't care. 3) the finger print sensor often opens the app nearest to it when unlocking

For years I have stuck with the Samsung S range, from the 5 until the 10+. They had all the features I wanted in my phone and was the best choice. Then I compared the A55 to the newer S phones and it had everything I needed. It has loads of storage with expandable sd card slot, the camera is great with good video and photo options, and the speed and user interface are just as good as the S range, but at a much more affordable price.

I like some features but a lot of the essentials such as torch I could not find as its not institution as my last phone I had to ask someone to help with finding it. Also sharing my photos with another contact was not available on WhatsApp and I had to text and attach the photos to the message which cost me per picture . My other device allowed to forward pictures on WhatsApp. Perhaps I just don't know how to do this on this phone.

The product is OK with other features but it's just not taking my fingerprint I bought the first one and ot still couldn't take the fingerprint I spoke with samsung who took me over trouble shooting still couldn't work I had it changed and second one is having sane problem even without the screen protector which I have upgraded. SAMSUNG WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO? IVE GOT NO TIME TO KEEP ENTERING PASSWORDS WITH EVERY TRANSACTION

im rarely impressed with tech these days,because most of the time they do just whats expected . however in my opinion this phone does so much more than i expected, performance is up there with some of the top players in this vast field of mobile phones. display screen is as good as any never had a connectivity issuebattery life is plentyfull and the camera does what a camera should do ....take great pictures ....job done.

The android system is deeply frustrating. I am having almost insurmountable problems adding music to the phoe, a process that should be simple but isn’t. The phone repeatedly loses contact with the SD card. It recognises it until it goes to sleep and then when it wakes it declares that the card is not present. On the plus side, the camera is excellent and the ability to back up photos to my PC simple and effective.

Good, phone easy to use with great volume. The camera quality is also very clear much better than my old phone and the camera offers different features. My favourite feature is when your on the phone you can change the sound so people can hear you more clearly and vise versa and it actually works well. The only fault I had was the charger not working and being broken however the actual phone itself I'd great.

Great phone very high end fill to this new samsung A55 phone my A55 is the 256gb my one is in navy blue lots to experience the phone has a good fill out of the box it fills very high end has a good Weight to it lots of settings to play with takes great photos as well and has a great screen as well love watching YouTube videos a very good battery it fills like a high end phone does the job what more do you need

I purchased this phone for general everyday use, such as internet browsing, social media, online banking, making contactless payments, getting news etc. For these purposes, this phone performs very well. The screen resolution and clarity are on par with some flagships, battery life is superb, apps run smoothly and quickly, it multitasks well, sound quality is great, and the build quality is excellent.

Every year I say I’m gonna get an iPhone but then the Samsung comes out and blows my mind with the camera how fast it is the apps you can download onto it the APK support It’s something you do not get on an iPhone the ability to install apps that are not from the App Store so you can download your favourite football streaming sites and movie sites unlike on the iPhone. I recommend this phone highly

I love my A55!!! I had an A12 before but the camera was not good quality,neither was the outdoor brightness. The A55 is everything I loved about my old phone plus more. The camera quality is great the brightness is so much better and I love the adaptive brightness. I love that I can have the brightness extra dimmed as I get migraines. I love the extra storage. I could not be happier with it.

I find it very uncomfortable phone , to type to move on the screen you need both hands all the time and even to hold it it needs to be in particular position otherwise is to heavy and it can drop fro. Your hands. Also the typing could be improved , it is not very helpful compared to my previous Google pixel 6a , I liked it much more than this phone. My first Samsung and a bit disappointed.

For a 70 year old man and incurable "news junkie," the Samsung Galaxy A55 is a great match. I wanted and got a display nearly 7 inches acrossl and the 5,000 mah battery is perfect, after my previous phone battery started to misbehave. Sure, the A55 doesn't have the performance of Samsung's prestigious S series, but my needs are modest. Here's hoping I'll still be using my phone in 2030!

For a person has albeen a samsung user for many years, I find the phones improve each time. The performance of the phone is great and the one thing I really like about the phone is it's ability to auto detect brightness when your outside. No more trying to work out if you have clicked on the bar to brighten the screen when your out and about. Such a small thing but a massive improvement

First the positves. It's a Samsung. I got it for a good price and they took and old phone in PX which is a good way to recycle. And that's it really. The negatives? Really poor battery life (I've had the phone a month) and I have to charge every day. I don't game or watch videos. I do listen to music and do general scrolling. I've got 100Hz turned off and battery power saving turned on. No difference. Considering it's a glass back and aluminium frame it doesn't feel quality (the back looks and feels like plastic to me). The sound quality isn't as good as my A53, either through speakers or headphones (I know how to adjust the sound), there's a harshness to music and speach. Finally I chose the blue which is so pale, it's looks white. Was hoping this phone would feel like a step up from my old phone but for me it doesn't. I reboot it regularly and it has had a few updates.Disappointing to say the least.

An excellent phone. The camera is really good with loads of get features including a manual setting which replicates a DSLR well. It's got a good sized display with is very crisp. The battery copes well with the phone being used heavily and charges quickly. The phone has fast connectivity either at home on wifi or out on 4/5G. Overall the performance of the A55 is top notch.

I really love the A55 phone, as its a fantastic upgrade to my previous Samsung A40 phone. The A55 phone design has a beautiful screen, works very quickly and is a delight to use. The battery lasts best part of two days which is amazing, plus the phone works well with my new smart phone cover too! Overall, so far a fantastic purchase, and I might even buy one for my husband too.

I like the phone but the Samsung Smart Switch App is nowhere near as seamless as it should be. Is doesn't install some apps, missed some contacts, and doesn't properly set-up connected devices (my Samsung Earbuds would only play through the right earbud unless I turned off Bluetooth and then turned it back on again (a 'forget this device' and then re-connect fixed the issue).

I've had this phone for one month and the battery performance is very poor. I don't use it a huge amount, mainly surfing the web and twitter, however the battery will barely last a day. My previous phone, a Samsung A32, three years old, performed much better doing the same tasks. I had hoped it would improve after a few charges but it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

I'm ot that bothered about technology or having the latest phone/gadget as I only use it as and when I need to, but it is impressively fast, bright and intuitive and consider it a bargain compared to previous samsung and motorola phones. The camera is excellent, gorilla+ glass and waterproof is good, battery lasts days for me and the 256gb memory is more than enough.

The phone feels very robust which is great but I cannot believe it does not wireless charge and also it does not support protocols for my Bluetooth hearing aids which my last 2, much older Samsungs have both delivered with ease.. Possibly a great strong feeling phone for people that don't need these features but I have to sell and buy another model..disappointing..

I've upgraded from the Galaxy A51 5G to the Galaxy A55 5G. I am just as impressed with this phone as I was the previous, the A5 series is seriously great value and worth the bit more than lower spec series. Notable improvements since I've upgraded are better battery life, and impeccable camera quality. I'm hopeful this phone will stay with me for 5 years or more.

I like the screen because it is very clear and never gets too bright. It is easy to check emails and download apps and the apps run much quicker now. The Bluetooth works well for the majority of the time but does have trouble connecting occasionally. The phone is sturdy and like using it, though it does not flat without a case. Battery lasts two or three days.

I love that the battery lasts long, it charges fast, doesn't overheat easily and games play smoothly as well as video and sound quality. I just wish the camera was better with zoom of subjects and landscapes, but photos of food come out really pretty! I love the classic samsung display. I love how customisable it is, and the fact I can add to my lockscreen

Brilliant fast enough phone for all my needs. Great speed and high resolution camera. The screen adaption for bright light is a fabulous feature. Great visuals on videos and the sound is ok for a phone. The only downside is the camera lenses are not flush to the phone and I know this would make it thicker and heavier but it would also make it sleeker.

Brilliant phone does everything very well. The battery is amazing easily get through the day with heavy use. The processor is very quick no issues with day to day tasks it does then with ease. The call quality is brilliant and the speakers are very loud. Also had expandable storage up to 1tb. Very very hard to fault this phone on anything. It's brilliant

I am very disappointed in the Battery life of this model i have had Samsung Mobiles for many years and when new the battery life on previous models has always been better than the A55 although it is advertised has having a great battery Life and that as well has having an sd Card facility was one of the reasons i chose this phone so yes disappointed

Everything about this device is perfect for the price. It has great performance (for an exynos chip) and the display is amazing. Only problem is that I recently dropped it on a tile floor with the official case on and it got a few little scratches in the middle. Everything about this phone is good apart from maybe the durability could be better

My previous model A50 was lot better. This is a big disappointment. Im considering selling it and using my old A50. Loosing GPS signal on Google navigation constantly, failing to re connect despite full signal. Wifi dropping out in my garden. Again my old A50 never hadd this problems. Very disappointed, would stay away from Samsung in future

Awful screen quality, my A52 looks so much better, colours are so flat, even after changing all settings I can! Camera isn't improved either. How Samsung have released this "upgrade" when a 3 year old A52 looks so much better is beyond me. Such a simple thing has completely ruined it, so it's going back until they bring back the old look!

I upgraded from a three year old Samsung A52 but am somewhat disappointed with no noticeable improvement in performance, camera or battery life. I do have issues with poor 5G connectivity compared to the A52. The A55 is slightly bigger all round than the A52 and not as easy to operate one handed without feeling like I am going to drop it.

Very smart, I love the Ice Blue colour. Easy to use, like all Samsungs - this is my third and my husband's second - we both bought an A55 at the same time. The camera is amazing and the option to remaster is bringing out the best of my shots. We were disappointed, though, that our purchase did not include a charging lead this time.

Phone size is perfect. Battery lasts approximately 36 hours for me but I do have a number of medical apps open constantly which can drain battery quickly. The display is clear and camera photos/videos are of good quality. Overall pleased with performance of phone which is better than previous "older" phone which would be expected.

The A55 is a good telephone, though I have had major issues with the GPS / location tracking. It is often way off. I do lot of walking and my previous Samsung mobile was spot-on. The other day the elephone said I had walked a mile in under four minutes however the next mile was walked in 53 seconds! I have been onto the internet and just get told by Samsung web-site - it's because you're in a car, you have change in your pocket or a wallet with rfid device. Or there is a problem with your GPS locally. NOOO! My watch is still fine (with it's GPS), my apps do not need re-installing! I have tried the Smasung Health app and get the same problem. I have taken the phone back to O2, where I got it from, they could not assist at all. The GPS on my phone is rubbish, it trfacks me walking through hoses and lakes, when I'm just walking along the pavement. Samsung needs to do something, if this is an issue with other A55s. If it is just mine, I want a replacement.

The phone doesnt seem to have any problems, the charge lasts for quite a while which is very impressive. The camera is amazing, the photos are always great quality, i even have them made to put on the wall. I was given this phone as my A53 was constantly faulty, havent had any of that with this phone, the performance is excellent

Had a A12 for 2 years ( very good budget phone). Decided to upgrade to a A55 , excellent phone screen is bright and easy to see in bright sun. Battery last for ages and charges very fast with 25w charger. And as always samsung phones intuitive and easy to change over . Camera and video are a big step up. Very happy with new phone

Easy to use when you just want to make a call or text but not being savvy with technology I found getting things connected was much difficult. This had nothing to do with the phone but my understanding of how technology has become more complicated. I just with that there was some sort if idiots guide available to do simple tasks

My phone is just what I expected. My previous model was an A52s so this model was bought as an upgrade. It very much follows the way the A52s worked. I sm very pleased with my phone. Very easy to use as all my Samsung phones have been. In fact I only ever look at Samsung for a new phone. I'm not even tempted by any other brand.

Overall the phone is good, easy to use, however, there are 2 issues that are quite annoying - the camera at the back sticks out so much that the phone is flimsy when on a surface and the earphones need to be USB C which not only are more expensive but for the life of me I cannot find a bud that is comfortable for my ears.

Great phone... compared to my old Huawei P30 lite this is a very nice phone to use. Battery life is good. Functionality is really good and decent size screen. The phone main speaker is exceptionally loud and clear. Camera is fantastic! Compared to other phones I have had in the past...this is a breath of fresh air.

The phone is very easy to use because all my previous accounts were connected to gmail, had it ready it go within minutes. It performs extremely well for a mid range phone, and on top of this the battery lasts very long and charges very quick. The camera is also decent but it's not a lot to shout about. Still, 5/5.
