@02:37 I think it's worth mentioning that the S24 FE features UFS 4.0 storage and LPDDR5X RAM compared to A55's UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 RAM. Combined, it offers a larger boost in performance.

A55 for one HUGE reason - micro SD card support

[Hydonk]

I got the a55 2 weeks ago
Really good phone
My brother has s23 fe and the camers are 90 percent same

I’m probably switching from my iPhone XS Max to the FE. Your video is very helpful.

Just the side-by-side comparison I was looking for...👌

A55 all the way, s24 fe is too expensive, better just buy a regular s24 and its almost 3/4 times more expensive than the A55, u get the same with a less powerful processor and a slightly worse camera for hundreds less

[TheZeeme]

Both phones is on sale currently and I decided to go with the S24FE for 280$ ✨👏🏻 the 7 years support tipped me over. And I wanted the slightly better camera.. they also had the A55 for 200$. Crazy good deals imo.

A55 had an SD card so it's my pick

What's up with these recent S24 FE comparisons?

[masajoced]

I have Samsung A55, this build is better even the previous Midrange phone. Same as to Flagship device like S-Series.

[shanehorne]

I wish that the next a series has a zoom lens

i feel so torn because the s24 has 7 years of software and security updates and the A series phones only have 4 years :( so the higher price feels more worth it. I've had the a52 since dec 2021 and for the past several months ive been noticing a significant decline in its performance with apps.

Watching on my A55. I just bought it 2 days ago.

Quite Easy...The SAMSUNG GALAXY A55...It's A Fraction Of The Price Of The SAMSUNG GALAXY S24...

[zeed]

I'm seeing so many channels doing this comparison and I don't understand why.
The real choice, a pro Samsung flagship user who is slightly budget conscious would have, is between the S24FE and S23 plus. Yet there isn't a single comparison of these 2 handsets anywhere!
GSMArena content quality is always Great though.

[TechWithAbdulaziz]

watching this after recent FE price drops got mine for around 400~ killer deal...

[JuhoJuutilainen]

S24 fe has better camera, better dynamic range and more natural colours. 5g network works also better than A55.

[LuggageChestHead]

I used a a55 in June this year and was very surprised by the value you get for your money. The shutter speed and camera quality in lower light conditions wasn’t great and the fingerprint sensor was hit and miss though. Are the fingerprint sensor and lowlight pictures tangible better on the Fe?

[gavinsummers]

Have a a55.its spot on had worries as always had a s series. But absalutly delighted with phone

[bertramheugh]

I just want a s24 period but the price aint coming down 😭😭😭
