The Galaxy A55 was a return to kind for Samsung’s most premium mid-range smartphone lineup, and for the corporate’s mid-range Exynos chips. It introduced substantial efficiency enhancements over earlier fashions and is the true successor to the Galaxy A52s, which beforehand held the title of the quickest and smoothest A-series Samsung cellphone.
Glorious efficiency is just not the one factor on the listing of spectacular Galaxy A55 options, however because the norm dictates, Samsung determined to carry again on some upgrades for future fashions.

45W battery charging

25W charging on the Galaxy A55 and older mid-rangers isn’t gradual by any stretch of the creativeness. And 45W charging isn’t as quick in comparison with 25W as you’d anticipate. Nevertheless it’s nonetheless a welcome improve, particularly within the face of competitors from telephones from different manufacturers that assist charging at 100W and better.
Samsung should not pursue numbers for the sake of it, however the least it may do is supply the utmost charging velocity on as many units as doable.

You’ll primarily be capable to use the A56 until at the very least 2031 with out worrying about outdated software program. The A55, then again, will cease getting updates inside this decade as it’s only eligible for 4 main Android OS upgrades and 5 years of safety updates.
