Samsung announced the Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G last week, which are the successors of its most popular mid-range duo in 2023. Both phones sport the same 6.6-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and share a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging support.
Powering the Galaxy A55 5G is the Exynos 1480 processor with an AMD RDNA2-based Xclipse 530 GPU, up to 12GB RAM, and 128GB or 256GB storage. The Galaxy A35 5G uses the older Exynos 1380 processor (same as the Galaxy A54) with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage.
Both phones have a triple-camera setup on the back, the A55 has a 50MP f/1.8 main camera with OIS, a 12MP f/2.2 fixed-focus ultra-wide camera, and a 5MP f/2.4 macro camera. The phone has a 32MP front-facing camera for taking selfies. The A35 has a 50MP f/1.8 main camera with OIS, an 8MP f/2.2 fixed-focus ultra-wide camera, and a 5MP f/2.4 macro camera. It comes with a 13MP front-facing camera for taking selfies.
Both phones come with Samsung Knox Vault, which is a hardware-based secure execution environment that’s physically isolated from the processor and memory. It can help protect the most critical data on a device, including lock screen credentials, such as PIN codes, passwords, and patterns. It also protects device encryption keys, encrypting users’ private data stored in the device. Only users with the correct lock screen credentials can access their data, even if the device is lost or stolen.
Samsung also offers Auto Blocker, an opt-in package of additional security measures. When switched on, Auto Blocker can block app installations from unauthorized sources, provide app security checks to scan for potential malware, and block malicious commands and software installations to your device while connected by a USB cable. New Galaxy A series users will also have access to Galaxy’s Security and Privacy Dashboard, making it easier to see and control what is happening to their data and withdraw any permissions whenever they choose. They can also enjoy Private Sharing (part of Quick Share), which enables the secure and encrypted sharing of private files containing important personal or financial information. To ensure confidentiality, users can control the recipient’s access permissions and the file’s expiration date while limiting screenshots or downloads.
Samsung promises 4 years of major OS updates and 5 years of security patches for both new Galaxy A series phones. Both phones will officially be available in Malaysia at Samsung Experience Stores, Samsung Authorised Retailers, Samsung Brand Stores on Shopee and Lazada, and Samsung Malaysia Online Store from 22 March 2024 onwards.
