Samsung A55

Launched in March 2024, the Galaxy A55 5G is a mid-range phone with the finish of a pricier model: a metal frame, glass on the front and back, and an IP67 rating. Its 6.6-inch Super AMOLED screen runs at 120 Hz and reaches 1000 nits. The Exynos 1480 (4 nm) handles everyday use comfortably, and the 50 MP main camera has optical image stabilisation.

Software support is solid too: it now runs One UI 9 with Android 17, gets monthly security updates, and Samsung promises 5 years of them, so until around March 2029. A refurbished Galaxy A55 from Green-ware is tested on more than 50 points, your data is erased with certification, and it comes with a 2-year warranty that also covers the battery.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the Galaxy A55 get updates?

Samsung promised 5 years of security updates from March 2024, so expect them until around March 2029. They currently arrive monthly. It has just received One UI 9 and, under the promise, has one more major upgrade to come.

Is it dual SIM? Does it support eSIM?

Yes. The European version works with two nano-SIMs, or with a nano-SIM plus an eSIM.

Can I add a microSD card?

Yes, in the second SIM slot. Use an eSIM as your second number and you get both two numbers and extra storage.

Is the Galaxy A55 waterproof?

It was IP67-rated from the factory. After refurbishment, water resistance is no longer guaranteed, so avoid water.

Does it have Galaxy AI?

Only a small part: Circle to Search. It does not get the broader AI features of the newer A56.

Can I pay with eco vouchers?

Yes, with Pluxee or Monizze eco vouchers (ecocheques). They apply to devices, not to accessories.
