With a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display, Octa-Core processor, and a big 5000mAh battery, the Samsung A55 5G specs are impressive. There’s 8GB of RAM and storage options of 128GB and 256GB, and with a microSD card slot, you can add up to 1TB of extra storage. The camera set up includes three rear cameras - a 50MP primary camera, 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP macro lens - plus a 32MP selfie camera.

How much is the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G phone?

The Samsung A55 5G price depends on the amount of storage you choose. There are two options: 128GB and 256GB. You can either buy the phone as part of a monthly contract, where you’ll pay a small up-front cost and then pay off the rest of the phone over a 24-month contract. Or you can go SIM free, which means you pay the full Samsung Galaxy A55 5G price and buy the phone outright.

How different are the specifications between the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G vs the Samsung A35 5G?

While the two phones are very similar, there are a few key differences between the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G vs Samsung Galaxy A55 5G specs. The A55 is ever so slightly smaller yet heavier due to its aluminium and Gorilla Glass body, compared to the plastic frame and glass back of the A35. They both, however, have the same sized screen. The A55 also has a better processor and 8GB of RAM, rather than 6GB, so it should be a bit faster and better at multi-tasking. And if you look at camera set up in the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G vs Samsung Galaxy A35 5G specs, you’ll find a higher resolution front camera and ultra-wide camera on the A55.

What is the best feature of the Samsung A55 5G?

The Samsung A55 5G is packed with great features but our favourite is the 6.6-inch Super AMOLED screen. With 1000 nits for a bright, vivid display, Vision Booster to enhance visibility in the sun, and 120Hz variable refresh rate for a smooth, responsive experience, the Samsung Galaxy AMOLED screen feels truly immersive.

And if you’re wondering what the term actually means, Super AMOLED display phones have the touch screen integrated into the AMOLED display rather than overlaid on top of it.
