The video, presented by Petr Hudec, reviews the Samsung Galaxy A55, which succeeds the popular Galaxy A54. Similar to the A54, it features a matte metal frame, increased use of pastel colors, and a focus on sustainability with recycled materials, Gorilla Glass Victus, and IP67 certification. Despite its environmental emphasis, a charger is not included. Key upgrades include a 6.6-inch display with 120 Hz refresh rate and HDR10+, though its brightness lags behind competitors like the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus and OnePlus N3. Samsung reintroduces their Exynos 1480 processor with improved software performance.
The A55 offers 8 GB of RAM across all variants, supports micro SD and eSIM cards, and uses device-based AI for camera functions. The camera setup remains unchanged with a 50 MP main sensor, but the wide-angle camera is criticized for poor quality compared to rivals like the Xiaomi 13T. Portrait mode and 4K video stabilization are praised, but overall, the A55 is seen as only a marginal improvement over its predecessor, not justifying an upgrade especially considering its higher cost compared to competitors. Despite these shortcomings, it may continue to be a best-seller in the Czech Republic. The review concludes with unchanged battery and speaker specs, urging viewers to engage with the channel for more updates.

In this part of the video, the presenter, Petr Hudec, introduces the Samsung Galaxy A55 as a successor to the popular Samsung Galaxy A54, which is compared to the best-selling car Škoda Octavia in the Czech Republic. The A55 is shown to feature a matte metal frame, a design shift last seen in the A8 model, with Samsung aiming to make this material a prominent feature due to the lack of other significant new changes. The phone combines pastel colors and a calming design, focusing on subtlety rather than flamboyance. Important points include the A55’s emphasis on sustainability, with increased use of recycled materials, a promise of four major updates, five years of security patches, a durable build with Gorilla Glass Victus, IP67 certification, and no included charger, highlighting its environmentally-friendly approach.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the changes and features of the Samsung A54 and A55 smartphones. The display size has increased from 6.4 inches to 6.6 inches, which may not please fans of more compact phones. Despite the larger display, the bezels have not been reduced. The display features a 120 Hz refresh rate, Always-On function, and HDR10+ support, which improves Netflix compatibility compared to the previous model. However, the display brightness, at 934 nits in automatic mode, is still lower than its competitors like the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus and OnePlus N3.
The video also touches on Samsung’s shift back to using Exynos processors, specifically the Exynos 1480, which scores 742,000 points in the AnTuTu Benchmark. This change aims to differentiate the A5 series from other models in Samsung’s portfolio, such as the S23 FE. The speaker notes that while the performance is sufficient for the target group and initial software issues have significantly improved, the display is still lagging behind some competitors in terms of brightness.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses several updates and features of the Samsung Galaxy A55. The basic operating memory has been increased to 8 GB in all variants, and OneUI 6.1 has been optimized. There’s support for micro SD cards in the hybrid drawer as well as eSIM cards, making it convenient for travelers. AI functions will happen strictly on the device within the camera, with no cloud-based enhancements. The camera configuration remains the same with a 50 MP main, 12 MP wide-angle, and 5 MP macro sensor. However, the performance of the wide-angle camera is criticized, described as producing poor quality images. The main camera produces decent, sober-colored photos with a good dynamic range during the day, but night mode often overexposes the sky and may appear cold-toned. The speaker compares the A55’s camera unfavorably with the Xiaomi 13T, which offers better camera features for a lower price.

In this part of the video, the reviewer discusses the performance and features of the Samsung Galaxy A55. They commend its portrait mode, dynamic range, sharpness, stabilization in 4K video, and sound recording. However, they criticize the device for being a marginal improvement over its predecessor and losing ground to competitors like Xiaomi, with better features at a lower price. The reviewer highlights Samsung’s commitment to software updates and security but suggests this may not be enough to justify the A55’s higher cost. They conclude by advising against upgrading from last year’s model, noting that the A55 may still be the best-selling phone in the Czech Republic despite its outdatedness.
