Samsung’s flagship ‘Galaxy S’ series has always been its major torchbearer. But, as the price of each iteration started climbing slowly over the years, the company felt the need to introduce a new series that can act as a substitute for those who do not want to spend top dollars but can still have flagship-grade experience. As a result, the ‘Galaxy A’ series was born, which perfectly combined mid-range specifications with certain flagship features sprinkled in between.
The latest 2024 model, which is the Galaxy A55, comes in a new avatar with a glass and aluminum build, which is a far cry from the plastic build of yesteryears. Coupled with a fantastic build, you get a 6.6-inch OLED display with Samsung’s in-house Exynos 1480 octa-core processor. In addition to that, the phone comes with up to 12GB of memory and 256GB of storage, both of which are readily available in the Indian variant. Talking about the camera, you get a triple-lens setup that can shoot up to 4K resolution videos and a 5000 mAh battery with fast charging to keep your device juiced up all day. Also, other additions include an under-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, IP67 water and dust resistance, and NFC support (for Samsung Pay).
If you have recently purchased a Galaxy A55 in India but have unfortunately been facing severe performance issues or hardware malfunctioning, then visiting your nearest service center might be worth a try.
