Samsung makes vivid colors - users say they're too saturated
Samsung makes more realistic colors - users say they're not vibrant enough 😂
If youre watching a vid like this you already know about older flagships.😅
The price difference is still considerable - old flagships are still very expensive, the S22+ still costs more than 600-700 in EU, while the A55 is 350. I wish old flagships were indeed a good alternative, but at almost twice the price, I'm afraid they are not.
In my country, the A55 is the same price as an unlocked brand new Pixel 7. I picked the pixel 7 but also considered the A55 as that build quality looks super premium! I love my pixel 7 camera though. I came from the GOAT of A series, the Galaxy A52s
You made the wise decision pixels are amazing I ❤ them.
I had a14 4g now am on a32 5g burger I'm considering an old flagship for pubg gaming maybe s21,22 ultra. Or a54 a55 is better??
I have multiple phones including the S23 Ultra. 24 Ultra, OnePlus Open and 12. Right now I’m currently using my S21 Ultra I repurchased recently. Got a 512GB for $350 with excellent battery life. Older flagships are still way better than the midrange and cheaper phones with the only disadvantage being newer and longer software updates. Still love my pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro as well. Great video buddy. Thanks for keeping older flagships alive and relevant. 👊🏽💕
thanks
What work do you and you own such number of phones because you aren’t a tech reviewer
@@Edgar876To collect because they are cool maybe. That's what I do.
@kodyrandom same. It's called hobby lol. Currently have S20 FE 5G as my main, S20 Ultra snapdragon as my second phone (mostly for gaming), A7 2018 because it's my old phone. Currently eyeing on S21 Ultra 😂
@@josuke6131 that's cool! Hobby indeed! Mine are s21 ultra as a main device and s22 (base model).
I have some LG devices (v50 and g8) and another s10 and s20 base that I reset and don't use really. I definately collect. I am thinking of geting the Pixel 8 pro at some point here.
I would love the s23 plus, but this year I might go for Pixel 8 pro. I have two Samsung's (s21 ultra and s22) and a few other older samsung devices that I may get rid of at some point this year as well. The LG V50 I might hang onto a bit longer though. I love to collect tech. It's a problem
In my country price of old flagship is still high. And hard to get a good condition second hand phone with affordable price. So this midrange A55 is a good bargain. And Samsung also give free Galaxy Bud FE and one year Samsung Care so that enough for me to get A55.
Longer software support seems to be the only advantage of midrange phones over older flagships.
But now with pixels and samsung offering 7 years of updates its going to make even more sense to buy an old flagship phone
2 years later, you would be able to buy the s24 for $599 at the most, I kinda expect samsung phone to hold its value better, if it goes down to $400 that will be insane, getting 95% of what the latest phone is and still have 5-6 years of android update.
Hi Matthew, my question about the older flagahip smartphone is: what's the gurantee about the software support for apps and security, anything bad can happen, and the battery life degrades overtime. I am a bit sceptical about getting an Amazon renewed smartphone under excellent condition, due to any breakdown and scratches. What was your experience like if you could tell me?
I'm seriously considering a note 20 ultra right now. I need the built-in stylus. Is this a better choice to the s22 ultra?
As considering my money, I decide to buy either pixel 6 pro or Samsung s21 Fe .... Which one you think better for photography and videography purpose ?
The only thing stopping me from getting something second hand is firstly, I buy from eBay so for me the phone isn't £400, its gonna be £290 for a new sealed phone and secondly I brought the S21 ULTRA second hand, dropped it twice and it was unusable and also, idk why but the newest update slowed down the phone for me honestly.
I'll buy the A55 for now but I will upgrade to a second hand s23 or s24+ in a few years time
Would recommend the Google pixel 6a over the a55 cause that's my next I plan on getting
CZcams has moved to AV1 codec for 30% more efficiency. The Exynos flagship s21, 22 and so, as well as Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and above (s23 and above for Snap) support this codec, which means 30% battery savings when watching CZcams, and much lower data usage. Another reason to go older flagship. This means non-AV1 phones must run software decode and eat more battery. Not sure the A55 supports AV1 on chip, like older Exynos flagships and last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The s22 series are definitely a better buy, if you can get it in Exynos. Or get a used s21 Exynos or S23 in Exynos or Snap.
I've got an S21 Exynos, and I noticed this
There isnt S23 Exynos there's only Snap 8 gen 2 S23.
Exactly I don't get these midrangers when a flagship for the same price is out there
Someone looking for an SD card slot isn't buying an S-series flagship NOT called S20.
128gb flagships with no expansion is a joke especially that 5-7 years updates are the norm now for Samsung.
Even genshin would eat half of the 128gb one lol.
Thanks for your very accurate opinion! Which model takes the best photos and videos? - iPhone 13, S21F, S21Ultra, S22Plus, Pixel 7Pro?
Looking for a cheap phone to play pubg at 60 or 90fps. Is a54 or a55 good enough?or should i buy a used s21 or 22ultra
I was thinking about upgrading from an a52s 5g to s23 because its smaller and it has SD 8 gen 2, but i was also thinking about upgrading to an s22 base model due to price being much cheaper but im worried about software, the battery not being sufficient even though im not an heavy user plus in my region UK we have the exynos 2200 so i wanted to ask whether its worth upgrading or should i just go for the s23
Thank u 🇮🇹
In my opinion you should go for the s23. SD 8 gen 2 is great and has great optimization for battery and apps. I heard great things about the s22 but also heard about some battery issues so I wouldn't risk it. Also, don't worry about software support, it doesn't matter that much since Google Play Services keep its apps functional for a very long time. Anyways, hope I was helpful 🙂
@@gustavof2241 thank u
I wouldn't recommend the base a22 if you can buy the S23 anything those phones are freaking amazing.
buy the galaxy s23 as s22 has a heating issue due to which poor battery life all due to the 8gen 1/ Exynos 2200
Costs 300 dollars new in my country and you get a charger too.
I got the lg g8 and don't regret getting it even though it don't get updates I like the cameras and the display I'm glad I got a older flagship phone
Nice love the g8
Its 2024 i still wonder about the v60😅 might get one on ebay for the low
Dude that phone is a relic by now. Its more than 5 years old. The tech has advanced way more than since 2019
Passed my g8 to my dad...my nephew wanted my g8x, cause of the dual screen case.... I'm keeping my v60 though...✌️👍🤟
In Iran, the price of old flagship phones is not even close to the current mid-range phone and is much more expensive. The closest ones are S23FE and S21Fe, can you explain which one should I buy?
Neither, both have bad batteries but slightly better performance( s21fe) much better performance ( s23fe) cameras are maybe better on both fe
@@markoroncevic 👌🤝👌
@matthews-tech would it be a bad decision to buy the Samsung A 73?
My father is eighty years old. He is an elderly man and has a medical crutch. Is it possible for my father to use a modern smart phone? Are there any problems or drawbacks? Can you answer?
There are many smartphones that have a so-called "Easy Mode", at least Samsungs usually do, which simplifies the interface - only a couple of screens, large icons, only the essentials shown, such as camera, phone dialer, messages, internet browser, flashlight, etc. I think your father would quickly get used to it - I got my father his smartphone when he was about 70 several years later, it's second nature, he couldn't go back to a feature phone.
If you put time labels on your videos, you'll help your viewers
A used s22 ultra in my country is 600 dollars still. But s21 ultra is 350 dollars. So do I buy the s21 ultra instead of a55?
colors pretty though, wish theyd bring colors like this to the s series. the orange s24 is really beautiful
The older S series phones are having greenline issues. I don't trust older S phones anymore two of my cousins have S phones from previous generation both got greenline whereas I am rocking my A52s without any headache.
If the boxy design doesn't bother you, get the s22 ultra, which you could find for around $420
sadly I'm on a rush and can't buy the flagships so I had to settle for a55 this year because I needed the storage :'))
In New Zealand I can get the A55 for $499 NZD on an interest free plan currently while the best offer I can find for an S23 FE is $899, the older flagships don't seem to drop in price much here so A55 has much more value for us
You are paying double and will get double than a55
@@Unknown---_--- double what? In real life use there isn't that much of a difference, everything runs just fine on A55, including games, camera is perfectly fine for personal use, the S23 has some extra gimmicks, but with casual photography you can't really tell the difference, I mean it's not like "wow, that SO much better!" I don't think you are getting double the value with the S23... just my opinion after I've seen both.
You are right. The S23 Fe heats up a lot and drains battery to fast. I sold the s23fe and bougjht an A55 instead. The A55 does not heat at all, i can get up to 3 days battery with normal usage. It is an amazin phone. Well optimized@@FlorinU
s21 and s22 ultra versions come with exynos in EU. many complain about overheating on s21 ultra and buggy as hell camera on s22 ultra. i'm on s20 fe and i have no idea what to upgrade to... honestly seems like nothing worth it in the EU. otherwise the s21 ultra is a no brainer if you can get the snapdragon verison. a55 looks good bcs of os updates and still having that sd card support but not any real life major differences. sad.
Bought the s21 ultra been liking it 👌
I ran an S21 Ultra, the battery life is abysmal and it runs hot and can thermal throttle in some situations.
Pls can you help me with best value laptop under 300 dollars...
and here im still using the A51...
I had the same experiences with my old phones, I chose note 8 back in 2019 even though it was older model back then, with the same budget i could've gotten A7 or A9 midrange, but I really loved the Note series. Nowadays, I need to change my note 8, but with the weak currency situation in my country, i cannot get any decent phone, even midrange phones are extremely expensive, just for comparison, the Note8 was 8000 back in 2019
The A55 is 21000-25000 now
My salary is 6400, i can't afford flagships even older models, the S22 ultra even if 2nd hand is 35000 and up.
Even the S20 fe from 4 years ago is better than the A55
I could go as far as saying the s10e a budget phone from 5 years ago beats it if you ignore the benchmark, even note 9 you get wireless dex wirless charging your missing reverse wireless charging and super fast charging, only when you compare it to galaxy s5 or s7 then the a55 starts to become a better opition.
You are joking
@markoroncevic no I'm serious if you customers you s10 series or s20 series your getting a better phone than buying the a55 maybe worse camera n yes battery life not as fast charging but in other area beats it
So A55 is bad??
can you please explain more
@user99xyz you already know the exynos problem. They still continue to stick with their exynos rather than recycling an older snapdragon 870 which is the closest chipset in terms of power to the 1480 and snapdragon is a much more optimized chipset and while samsung is a good software company its a terrible hardware company. These upper phones still feel jittery, and a year or 2 from now will become a laggy experience. The a55 feels more premium than it really is. Those phones aren't designed for heavy tasks and aren't well optimize. Older flagships from 5 years ago still gives u flagship features that today's a55 doesn't. You don't get wirless charging, reverse wireless charging and reverse charging, no wireless or wired dex because it's not a flagship while very old flagships maintain these feature. If flagships this old can handle it there is no doubt this can't handle it if they putted a snapdragon chipset. Even if they did, if you have an opition to get the s22 series or the regular s23 for similar price there is zero reason to consider an inferior product. Once a flagship long term a flagship that's what they are designed for, custom ROM a galaxy note 10+ and it's a much more superior experience to the a55 and you will he able to get galaxy AI considering you can install s24 series ROM, this doesn't change the hardware ofcourse but it imitates it and gives you all the software funtionality and it drastically improves the camera quality and while you won't get the luxury zoom features which came out with the s20 series right after it will offer superior quality to the galaxy a55. I wouldn't recommend buying anything older than the s21 series the only reason I'm using this an an example to explain you once a flagship always a flagship and now that samsung phones offer 7 years of support, imagine being able to get the s24 for $599 next year and $399 the year after and still be left with 5-6 years of support while giving you 95% of $1000+ phone to those who fear buying older flagship due to not as long support. The s23 is only a year behind in terms of software support and the truth is the a55 won't be able to hold up for 5 years, while the s23 or s22 could easily last for another 5 years, so it's not all about a55 having longer software support. The s22 series is getting all the galaxy AI features that the a55 to begin with lack because it's an inferior product so I'd even give points to the s22 series in software department despite the lesser software support because of the a55 inferior hardware the longer software supoort won't make it better than the s22 series or the s21 series even considering the note 10+ could defeat it.
Dude u are comparing apples & peaches. They are different phones with different target customers. "Older" flagships are called that for a reason: they are old.
Old but performs better
@@enigmatix6224 Performs better but have less years security and other updates.
but if the old phone has better specs, why not over the newer but weaker phone? who cares about an extra year or two of software updates if the soc is slower and worse anyway lol
if the prices are similar, or this case better and they don't "feel old", why not?
@@enigmatix6224Older "flagships" after the S20 family have no sd card slots.
Tbh if I were upgrading I'd go with an A55 over an S22 plus only based off battery life. The A55 has 3.5 extra hours of life watching videos & 10 hours longer standby time. Performance is fairly equal on multicore scores so its not like the S22 plus is going to be way better even with the cool AI fearures. The only significant advantages of the S22 plus are the cameras & gaming performance. In my country they are around the same price right now but the A55 will probably drop faster than the S22 plus (making it better value next year). Also the S23 FE is $100 more expensive (USD equivilent) so in some plces not in the same price range.
I just bought new A55g and realized I maybe made a mistake... 3 or even 4 year old flagships are better performers.
My S21 performs better
Yup A55 screen is dull. They did A55 dirty, they give S24 vividness level setting, but not to their mid range
I agree. I think they are going to hurt their own sales. Samsung is known for great colorful displays.

What about Samsung m55 with sd 7 gen 1 it is good??
Slightly better than 778G, around exynos 1380
Hey! Loving your new midrange vs older flagship series. I bought a month ago Redmi note 13 pro and I am utterly disappointed in the camera performance. I am very much into photography and travel a lot. Which would you recommend more for photos- pixel 7 pro or s21 ultra? ( I also need minimum 256gigs, so which is a better shooter AND storage value...)?
Pixel 7 pro for camera definitely.
Pixel 7 pro 💯
I had the Redmi note 12 few weeks back, and I was disappointed with the performance and camera too, I switched to S21 and everything was way better except the battery life which I don't mind
Great video
Thanks!

You only forgot about the video quality comparison 😢
Is s21plus worth it?? Is it still good?
People choose the A55 because of SD card. Many people still want to expand the storage with Sd card, its not surprising why the A series sell so good every year.
Better get an Old flagship with more storage, still cost less and performs better. I have the S21 256GB
Display is one of the big things for me. My S21 ultra display I simply love. ❤
Please do a review on the S23 plus in 2024😊
Should i buy S21 /S22 or A55??
I don't play video games just normal daily use.
I need a phone with a (better) battery and a good camera.
And i really love the design od s21 and s22.
So any ideas??
battery on the a55 is the clear winner and you get decent software support alsom a bigger screen but the cameras are a bit better on the s21 and s22 but not the biggest difference
For battery life, A55 >>
For camera and performance, S21/22 >>
Pixel has great camera
But I feel like they are a glitchy phone therefore I wouldn't buy another one unless they fixed these issues
I just bought s21 ultra.it's still cost 585 $ ..
You are right. The difference in screen colors are obvious. They dulled down the colors on the A55. I only found one other person talking about it. Watch this video all the way through. czcams.com/video/HOTyh6-SAUg/video.htmlsi=ugCfTcSVhf-NxGzo This guy talks about it a couple of times. I think everyone should be talking about it! Samsung needs to know it's not ok.
no one talks about it because you can change it in settings💀

@@TechnologyMan9575 yes u can lol i have the phone
@@JeremyVorkauf-ye4izYou're unable to oversaturate the colours to that extend on the A55 without going into developer settings.
Not that it really matters since objectively the "vivid" mode is bad for colour accuracy & shouldn't be used to display srgb content unless you want things to look way off from what they're supposed to look like.

Vivo V30 is unexpectedly far better than Samsung A55.
More powerful chipset, elegant design, and even more affordable😅
MicroSD card though...
Who has a SD card slot gets my money.
I would instantly buy the A55 if it had the dimensions of the S23
Only time the size of a phone matters to me is when I wear shorts or jeans so only thing that is noticed is big rectangle
Right now.... S22+..... 281.99. excellent condition on Amazon.
every s phone under 23 has bad battery performancy, i would never go back to any of that shit even if it would be cheaper
As compared to what....? Like a series phones? I'm a Samsung, LG, Motorola nut. Still have my S10+, Note 10+, Note 20 ultra, s20 ultra, s21+, z flip 3 and an s22. The S10+ was the last phone I ever bought new. I still have a Razer phone 2, got it half priced 6 months after it came out. Maybe when the s25 comes out, I'll snag an s23.
But yeah some of those really never had decent battery life. S22, s21+, surprisingly Note 10 plus, still, decent. Others, not so much. The flip... Actually pretty bad .
Sammy wants Americans to buy their upcoming S24 FE.
M55 is better. You at least get snapdragon.
That's even more unavailable than a55
That Snapdragon in M55 is made by Samsung.
