Detailed Product Description

Design and Build of Samsung Galaxy A55 5G

Samsung Galaxy A54 boasts a unified design language that aligns with the Galaxy lineup, featuring a distinct camera arrangement similar to the flagship models. It boasts of a minimalist design that deceptively covers lots of sophistication in terms of features, performance, and capabilities of the mid-range handset. The design choices reflect a blend of flagship features with practical considerations for a midrange device, offering a balance between aesthetics and durability.

It is a big, bulky, and somehow weighty phone, measuring 161.1 x 77.4 x 8.2 mm (6.34 x 3.05 x 0.32 in) and weighing 213g. The device boasts a larger 6.6-inch AMOLED display compared to Galaxy A54โ€™s 6.4-inch display. Galaxy A55 body frame is made of Glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus+), glass back (Gorilla Glass), and aluminum frame. The back also features the distinctive Samsung A series Camera design, with 3 separate camera lenses, each encircled by a shiny ring, protruding by nearly 2mm.

The Galaxy A55 is IP67 rated for dust and water resistance, which is still a rarity in midrange phones and enhances its status as a phone built for durability. It supports Single SIM (Nano-SIM, eSIM) or Hybrid Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by). Under its impressive 6.6-inch display is an under-display fingerprint scanner which is instrumental in enhancing phone security from unauthorised access. Available models, based on phone space specs come in Iceblue, Lilac, Navy, and Lemon colorway variants. Overall, the Galaxy A55 5G is designed to provide a comfortable grip and a visually appealing aesthetic that aligns with Samsungโ€™s reputation for quality in smartphone design and build.

Samsung Galaxy A55 5G Display

It boasts a 6.6-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and features Vision Booster technology for enhanced visibility in various lighting conditions. The display is designed to provide a vivid and immersive viewing experience, whether you are watching videos, playing games, or browsing the web. To enhance durability, Samsung installed the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ screen protector on the A55 model, which is an improvement to the equally effective Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the Galaxy A54.

Camera Set Up

Samsung Galaxy A55 5G features a versatile camera setup designed to cater to various photography needs. The deviceโ€™s camera specifications include:

  • Primary Camera:ย 50MP sensor with an f/1.8 aperture lens, equipped with autofocus (AF) and optical image stabilization (OIS).
  • Ultra-wide Camera:ย 12MP sensor providing a 123-degree field of view with an f/2.2 aperture lens.
  • Macro Camera:ย 5MP sensor with an f/2.4 aperture lens for close-up shots.
  • Selfie Camera:ย 32 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/2.74โ€ณ, 0.8ยตm

In terms of performance, the camera system delivers:

  • Accurate exposure and a fairly wide dynamic range in bright light and indoors.
  • Fairly high texture levels in bright light conditions.
  • 4K and 1080p video recording
  • Fairly good video stabilization when recording while stationary.

However, the Galaxy A55โ€™s camera system has some limitations you need to be aware of to manage your expectations of its performance and leverage its strengths for the best camera experience:

  • Some autofocus and exposure instabilities and stepping.
  • Noise, particularly in shadow areas of the frame.
  • Occasionally inaccurate color rendering.
  • Ineffective video stabilization when moving while recording.
  • Limited zoom capabilities with low texture and limited dynamic range in zoom shots.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A55 5Gโ€™s camera setup offers a solid performance for its class, with a few areas that could be improved in challenging shooting conditions. You stand to enjoy much with Big Pixel technology and advanced AI Image Signal Processing (ISP), the Galaxy A55 is designed to capture stunning low-light images, elevating night photography to new heights
