Why I Don't Recommend The Samsung Galaxy A55! My Thoughts After 1 Week of Use 

Yes I bought last week. I'm facing the same problem. I don't like the display.

That Super AMOLED display looks like an LCD screen that I had 10 years ago.

I went thru the Settings for the display. The Vivid setting is almost the same as the other setting. Almost similar or maybe even lamer than my LG's Natural setting. Heck, even my LG V20 looked better if it's retention issue goes away after a certain time. 😭

Bought it for an upgrade from the galaxy J7 core, I noticed the lack of screen tone options on the newer one but it ain't that horrible. Also, for the brightness, I guess most ppl here forgot that this device is a midrange device. It's okay if it didn't include all premium features and that's in fact by our own choice.

Most RU-vidrs praise the screen because they are sponsored by Samsung and receive those phones for free. Believe me, in that case, I would also say that the screen is perfect. However, I bought that phone myself, and the screen is significantly worse compared to, for example, the Samsung A72 and A73, which are in the same price range. I really tried to get used to that phone, but I can't. It's not what I expected from the A55.

@@ElectronicsComputers very nice

So what? No words from MKBHD can make the screen look better. I tried many units. No amount of tweaking fixes the lame-ness of the screen, Vivid or not. They already took out the jack and yet my old phones still look better. I thought I was alone till I saw other youtbers like this guy say the same thing.

Totally agree. I had to return this phone because of the screen. I didn't expect this from Samsung. If those sponsored RU-vidrs were telling the truth about devices in the first place, I wouldn't have ordered this phone. But when you're sponsored, you can't say that something is wrong.

@@ElectronicsComputers the same happened to the A15 4g all the youtubers we're saying it's amazing and doesn't have issues i got the phone after 11 days i returned it first the speaker used is super cheap it's the worst speaker in a samsung phone ever the phone wifi signal was so bad i had to stand close to the wifi router also the software was laggy and it had animations issues every time i exit from apps and come back the screen was decent except bezels it was horrible last year i also got A14 5g 2 times actually and had to return them for overheating and battery issues plus horrible screen and camera after that i decided to get A34 the performance was decent for gaming but under normal usage i faced overheating up to the point that when i was sleeping the phone almost exploded just because of horrible cooling and and heat from the horrible software optimization basically 2 years with no improvement even the A25 A35 A55 have strong cons like for the A25 the battery drains super fast and the cpu is always overheating for the A35 software and animation lag plus the screen is washed out and so for the A55

@@ElectronicsComputers I heard some say that the screens are made in china not Vietnam and which mean the quality is not as super amoled

@@mztahhanIt is, is a setting on the dev mode that makes them washed out, my A72 and a55 looked EXACTLY like that before changing that option, but at the same time this came after oneui 6.0

@@psp4gamer And what's that option called?

Thank you buddy! I really appreciate it.

That's what happened in my case. After watching several sponsored videos, I bought that phone, and when it arrived, I couldn't believe that Samsung made such a dull and pale screen for that model. There's literally no phone on the market from any brand with such a terrible screen, even among Chinese brands.

That's a great deal!

Exactly! I love the design, it looks really cool and feels solid and expensive in hand. But how could they mess up everything with that screen? I don't know.

Ah, you should have asked me two days ago. I already gave it to a family member.

It's a screen problem. That screen looks like an LCD not Super Amoled.

@ElectronicsComputers i considered to upgrade my a52s but after your video i decide to wait till next year

​@@dimitarcvetanov5927 Like I said in the video, I bought that phone with my own money to replace my three-year-old A72, but the difference in screens is like day and night. I thought I got a faulty one. Then I found several non-sponsored videos where people said the same thing: the screen quality is like that of phones we had with LCD screens 15 years ago. I'll wait for a new model.

Same, I'll wait for a year. I'm not gonna pay 500 bucks for the Super AMOLED screen, which looks like an LCD screen that I had on my phones 10 years ago.

Yes, it was painful for the eyes. I used that phone for only a week and couldn't get used to it. Unfortunately, I can't recommend anything decent at this moment. I have always been a Samsung fanboy and love their devices, but I guess they decided to cheap out on screens for several models. I decided to wait for next year's models. It's not too long a wait. If you have a working phone, I'd suggest waiting and not wasting money on a new one. After watching all those sponsored phone reviewers, I recommend walking to any store and seeing the device and its screen with your own eyes because no one who makes sponsored videos is going to tell what they really think, as that would be the end of their sponsorship.

Yep, it's a good phone. I wish the screen was a bit better.

@@icaicciai3171 I'm happy to help and thank you for the comment.

I really doubt that future updates will solve the issue. Same problem with the S24: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4sH91vxC4hY.html Samsung messed up something with the latest screens, and for me, as a loyal Samsung fan, that was a big disappointment. I gave away that phone and will wait for a new model with my old A73, which has a much better screen than the brand new A55.

S24 ultra issue is resolved by giving Vividness slider in latest update..is it true for A55 also???

I guess they expanded their manufacturing facilities. All of my previous Samsung phones were made in Vietnam. The Galaxy A55 is nicely made, but you have to check if the screen works for you. For me, the colors on that screen are the worst among all the phones I've ever had before. Also, for some reason, my eyes get really tired from that screen.

And iPhone is Made In China!

That feature was there for the A55 out of the box. It doesn't help.

​@@ElectronicsComputers no, we will wait for the mid-end of august or the first week of september

​@@ElectronicsComputersDude , that's not the vivid slider but changer, Samsung 2024 phones all had this washed color issues including the s24 flagships, it was then fixed by a software update since it's a software issue rather than a hardware,the a35 also got the vivid slider recently and the a55 has been confirmed to get it either in August or September,i appreciate the work but at least do more research on what has been said about the display before saying it's hardware and that it can't be fixed, I'm not a Samsung fan or anything but this information is just available by doing a simple research.

If you'd seen the whole video, you'd see that the eye comfort mode was off. Too many people everywhere say that they are disappointed with the screen, so I doubt that we all got a defective one. There's also a thread on the Samsung community website about it. Three models are affected at the moment: A35, A55, and S24. The rest of the phone models, and even tablets with AMOLED screens from Samsung, look great compared to those three models.

@@ElectronicsComputers honestly it is much better than my ipad pro when it comes to display so i dont complain about it hehe..i got this cheap around 280 usd so that is good enough for me

@sonson2815 Yeah, for such a price, I wouldn't complain either.

I decided to wait for next year's model because I'm really disappointed with that phone.

Thanks!

Well, my frustration was because every time I buy a new smartphone, the screen gets better and better or at least not worse. But even for me as a Samsung fanboy, that screen is below my standards. But I agree, some people will like unsaturated colors.

I still believe that it's an AMOLED screen, but it's the worst one I've ever seen, even among Chinese phones.
