Samsung Galaxy A35 vs Samsung Galaxy A55

Name: Samsung Galaxy A55
Brand: Samsung
Availability: InStock
Rating: 4.0 (10 reviews)

Our Verdict: With Samsung Galaxy A35 versus Samsung Galaxy A55, the stronger argument is camera hardware. The A55 has the useful edge there with a higher-resolution 32MP front camera. The A35 still has a role if you prefer a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display at 390 PPI, a 50MP rear camera, and a 13MP front camera. The A55 is the stronger choice for camera hardware, with the A35 better suited to simplicity.

Buying outright, the A35 starts at £155 SIM-free.
