Samsung has officially announced the successors of its most popular mid-range duo in 2023 — the Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G.
Both phones have more in common, they both sport the same 6.6-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Both phones share a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging support and Samsung’s new Key Island design language.
The Galaxy A55 uses a metal frame, while the Galaxy A35 has a plastic frame. Both phones have glass on the front and rear, but only the Galaxy A55 uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both front and rear, while the Galaxy A35 only uses Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front (no idea on the glass material on the rear).
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 potentially 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 than ever 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 also choosing to limit 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 come in four color options — Awesome Iceblue, Awesome Lemon, Awesome Lilac, and Awesome Navy.
