Disliking a phone because it's not available in your country seems pretty childish.

So reasons are:

1) It wasn't officially released in the US
2) It was too expensive at launch for his taste
3) Bezels are thick
4) Small incremental upgrades when compared to A54
5) Does not include a charger
6) Phone charges not as quick as he'd like (25W) - no wireless charging
7) For 500 US$ you can pick up a "better" phone (One+ 12R)
8) Galaxy A35 is "almost the same experience" (but without HDR and last year's processor)
9) No 3.5 mm headphone jack
10) No AI features like those in the S series

People whining about the bezels being too thick. Most people in France got themselves an iPhone 11, 12, or 13 from the second hand. And when you see the bezels on iPhone 11, I can guarantee you that the ones in A55 are actually smaller. Besides, you will put a screen protector and a case on your phone anyway, so the bezels won't be that noticeable. Personally, I have my S21FE, and the screen protector size was always a challenge for me, because the bezels are so thin that the screen protector is hardly fitting the screen dimensions to protect it wholly So, I don't mind having a little bit larger bezels and to be able to fit my screen protector better.

I will pick A55 over any midrange phone

Slow charging to 85 % prolongs the battery life.

I would rather buy a samsung phone than any Chinese brands with tons of useless bloatwares plus them removing some features that would prevent them from spying on you, and Chinese phones tends to go slow as time pass because without you knowing tons of background apps keeps running there.

I bought this phone for my son last week for a bargain price at Amazon UK and it’s a solid device. He plays Roblox, does video calls etc and so far no heating issues. The edges are sharp but the first thing I did as he unboxed it was to apply a screen protector and put it in a case anyway.
It has many of the flagship features except for AI. I’ve heard that the camera isn’t amazing but we haven’t tried taking photos with it yet, he isn’t keen on cameras anyway so it wasn’t a problem for us.
Also, I fiddled with my mum’s A54 for a couple of weeks and I noticed a considerable improvement with the A55, the older one is very sluggish and the price difference isn’t great to justify getting last years model (it was £230 vs £265).
I’d highly recommend this phone if you can find it for under £300.

The boarder around the A55 is not a problem for people who like to buy a strong rubber case to give it more protection should you drop the phone.

I see these videos of people talking about how you can get a better phone for the same price, but then you go and look and they just do not have an expandable storage option. No SD card slot on almost any phones today

[Ian_Chivatsi]

Bruh your reasons ain't reasoning, find better reasons, if you want premium go for A series

[sesvid]

Am I the only one who doesn't like to kill the battery quicker and therefore is avoiding extremely fast charging phones (or any other battery powered device)?

[wagenneunundvierzig]

It wasn't expensive for launch. It was 429€ with optional free upgrade to 256 for 0€ insteadbof 50. If you trade a predecessors you got 80 bucks off on top & the galaxy buds instead of 110€ for 29, 99€. So basically I got it for 289, 00€. Great built quality. Way snappier processor & with an 1TB SD card. A solid phone 👍

[Twilight_PlaysYT]

I'm buying that Phone no matter what! it meets some of my Expectations unlike my current phone rn!

[Andrew-izvf]

Having no wireless charging is not a big deal. I have iPhone and i don't even use wireless charging 😂. The headphone jack is also not a big deal because a lot people now use wireless headphones.

[emanormanrey]

i saw another review and they said that the colors are cooler and less vivid compared to the others a50's, is it true?

[michaelmorante]

i got it with freebies such as Galaxy Buds FE and a power adapter. I have it already for almost 2 months. So far so good!

[ydlazirag]

I have new A55 and I loved it. I love it, more than Apple.

[davidfrisken]

A55 can be found for less than half the price of the OnePlus 12R. Isn't this comparing apples to oranges?
PS What is the largest Micro SD card the OnePlus 12R supports? Isn't is 0gb?

[philamguambomb]

I'm getting this because it's definitely an upgrade from my s20. I like the Samsung OS systems and features AAAAND it still has micro SD card slot expansion. Micro SD slot is always a make it a break it deal for me. I never went above the S20 because of no micro SD.

The biggest problem with this phone, is not mentioned, on the list underneath here.

The metal edges, are really badly finished, and how far they protrude from the screen, differs from top to bottom, making them very sharp, and not well rounded. Combine that, with the design of the bezels, makes it a really uncomfortable phone to hold. The A35's plastic edges, are better finished, and is a much more comfortable phone, to hold in the hand.
