Pros of the Samsung Galaxy M55s
Excellent 120Hz Super AMOLED Display: Offers a large, bright, and extremely smooth viewing experience, great for media consumption.
Strong Software Support: Samsung promises four generations of Android OS updates and five years of security patches, ensuring long-term usability.
Good Performance (Snapdragon 7 Gen 1): The chipset provides a reliable and fluid experience for daily use and decent handling of moderate gaming.
Fast 45W Charging Support: Supports a very high charging speed for a Samsung mid-range phone, allowing you to refill the 5000mAh battery quickly (charger sold separately).
High-Resolution Cameras: Features both a 50 MP main rear camera with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and a 50 MP high-res front camera for detailed shots.
Cons of the Samsung Galaxy M55s
No Charger Included in the Box: You must purchase a separate 45W charger to take advantage of the fast-charging feature.
Heating Issues with Heavy Use: Some user reviews report that the phone can get noticeably warm during long gaming sessions or heavy camera use.
Hybrid SIM Slot: The second slot is a hybrid (SIM or MicroSD), meaning you cannot use two SIM cards and expandable storage at the same time.
No 3.5mm Headphone Jack: Wired headphone users will need a USB-C adapter, as the traditional audio jack is missing.
Camera App Lag (Reported): Some users find the camera app to be slow to open and switch modes, which can be frustrating when trying to quickly capture a shot.
