Samsung Galaxy A55 5G and A35 5G specs
This year’s Galaxy A55 5G and A35 5G are very similar phones both in terms of features as well as design. Looking at the rear, you’ll find a triple vertical camera lineup while the front sports a punch-hole front camera. Nevertheless, there is a difference in built, with the A55 5G donning aluminum side frame and the A35 5G with plastic. Both devices will have glass backs, but only the A55 5G will have the sturdier Gorilla Glass protection.
The new A55 5G and A35 5G will have a slightly elevated side rail isolating the power button and volume rockers, providing better grip at the same time.
Regardless of the model you choose, you’ll have a 6.6″ AMOLED display with Full HD+ (1080x2340p) resolution, 120Hz maximum refresh rates, 1,000nits (HBM), and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection.
Other areas of similarities include a 5,000mAh battery with 25W wired charging, support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and NFC capabilities. Additionally, you won’t find an audio jack on any of the models.
Where the differences lie are in processors and memory-storage configurations, with the Galaxy A55 5G utilizing the newer Exynos 1480 while offering more with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A35 5G utilizes the Exynos 1380, along with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
Rear cameras are also slightly different. Despite both carrying a tri-camera array consisting of a 50MP main with OIS and 5MP macro lens, the Galaxy A55 5G will have the stronger 12MP ultrawide compared to the 8MP ultrawide on the Galaxy A35 5G.
For colourways, both Galaxy A55 5G and A35 5G come in Awesome IceBlue, Awesome Lilac, and Awesome Navy.
