Gaming test - Samsung Galaxy A55 with Exynos 1480

The Exynos 1480 chipset is still too new, and literally zero apps are optimized for this chipset. Even Device Info HW is just showing the codename.
Certain games work well, but some games are not doing good now.
This video serves as a guidance of what kind of performance we'll get if we buy this phone right now (16th March 2024)

Finally you got A55. There are 200 videos of this phone but none from a reputable phone tester like yourself. Are you going to do a more broad review of the device, for those who aren't really interested in phone gaming but more interested in battery life when using common apps, camera quality etc. Keep up the good work!

Finally! I've been checking for this video all week 😅

[AlvaLink]

Personally, I see that in Genshin Impact it maintains good FPS despite the temperature, something that other processors (MediaTek with Mali GPU) for example, at a certain temperature performance drops drastically. I would recommend that we wait a few months for the entire gaming environment to be well optimized for that AMD GPU because it certainly looks like it is a good GPU.

A good potential benchmarking game might be Grid Autosport, it's a AAA console/pc racing game with a full story mode. They released it on android as well at launch.

Want to change my 5 years old Galaxy A50 with this Galaxy A55 5G. Can't wait ❤❤❤

Damn, my respects for your patience when downloading genshin on all these phones, i went crazy when i seen the 30gb file size when i first installed it on my s24Ultra

[Rorensuwl]

I am sticking to my 13t pro, but I love how you do gaming test

Alright so, I've had the a54 since last summer and I've loved it just about 99.99% all the way every single experience, literally no issues it's actually pretty fast, no crashes no lag, 120hz looks amazing everywhere, cameras are well above good enough (4k30fps video only and not 4k60 aside) everything is A1 still to this day even gaming at highest settings is surprisingly smooth and even stays smooth overtime gaming BUT this is why I say 99.99% and not 100%, it definitely heats up after a while high end gaming. And not bad enough where I've ever had to close the game & put it down.. not super hot but, it gets hot. Looks like they mostly fixed that and that's awesome. Now I can actually recommend the a55 to anybody and say from enough of my own experience with the near perfect a54, THAT is a considerably perfect phone right there, a55.
If you care THAT much about the 4k30fps only option issue which the a55 still has, I guess I'd just recommend spend a little more on the s23 FE but, me 4k30 and even the 1080p60 have been perfect. If I have a rare situation where I really, really want 60fps, I have never once complained about the 1080p60 itself. The 1080p60 looks a hundred times better than what it used to on older phones like say the galaxy s7 s8 or s9, iPhone 6/6s, 7, 8 etc.

Finally found a comprehensive and a long review about this phone! New sub here!

[jackdarrow]

okay so the exynos 1480 not that different from the predecessor. hope u give update when many problems be fixed. or if u can't that also be okay. great video. this phone really had bad optimize at the moment.

[JAD-uebh]

I really wished they should have made the 12gb version of this phone available in the Ph market. 8gb is enough but 12gb is a bit more future proof which is really relevant since samsung software support is really great 4 to 5 years depending on the phone model.

[theenter]

wish you also did on higher graphic settings on genshin though...

p.s. for now, I dont see much differences from my a54 which I bough like month ago(pretty satisfied too, for genshin, medium graphic with 30 fps is recommended with everything else lowest or turned off) and I think it is possible to a55 getting better since exynos 1480 is brandnew chipset and might not optimized well on most apps and games...(might get better after some software updates and aptimizations too..)

[joja]

bro it could not handle even the low settings at 60 fps for that price i am beyond disapointed, i think samsung should ditch the exynos chips all together and just opt for a snapdragon 6 or 7 instead
dont let my bitter comment distract you from watching the video its great 👍

[nielsatoyab]

Not gonna lie. Samsung galaxy A55 Exynos chipset are really improving a lot in gaming mode compared to its previous phone A53 which is the worst chipset. I hope one day, 3-4 years from now. This chipset will surely going to compete against Snapdragon and Mediatek chipset performance.

[nhicoroda]

Actually exynos is a good processor but the only problem is the overheating issues, that's why other processors are more used than this processor
