Samsung’s latest additions to its A series, the Galaxy A55 and A35, have made a splash in the Indian market since their launch on last week.
Both devices boast premium features at competitive price points, and recent reviews from DXOMARK highlight their impressive display and camera capabilities.
The Samsung Galaxy A55 has garnered attention for its AI-enhanced camera performance, receiving a commendable overall camera score from DXOMARK.
With specific accolades for its photo, zoom, video, and bokeh capabilities, the A55 is said to demonstrate a balanced proficiency across various photography aspects.
Notably, its scores in the zoom and bokeh categories underline Samsung’s focus on delivering quality visuals that rival those of higher-priced models.
The A55’s video recording capabilities also received praise, cementing its place as a versatile choice for consumers seeking high-quality multimedia functionality.
In terms of display, the A55’s 6.6-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED screen, boasting a 120Hz refresh rate, ensures a smooth and vibrant viewing experience.
DXOMARK’s review highlighted the A55’s natural color rendering and exceptional readability under sunlight, thanks to its peak brightness of 1638 nits.
While the review pointed out minor issues with screen touches and brightness management in dark environments, the Galaxy A55 still stands out for its display quality, especially in the high-end segment.
The Galaxy A35, while slightly more budget-friendly, has also impressed with its camera and display performance.
DXOMARK’s evaluation places the A35 as a strong contender in outdoor photography and screen readability in sunlight.
Despite some limitations in low-light conditions and picture rendering under direct sunlight, the A35’s camera performance in the Advanced Ranking category for devices priced between $200-$400 (under Rs 30,000) is commendable.
The A35 mirrors the A55 in display excellence, with its 6.6-inch AMOLED screen delivering good color rendering and outdoor readability.
Achieving a peak brightness of 1620 nits, the A35 closely rivals the A55, offering users a premium viewing experience without the flagship price tag.
Both the Galaxy A55 and A35 have set new benchmarks in the mid-range segment with their outstanding camera and display performances as per DXOMARK reviews.
Samsung’s pricing for the A55 between Rs 36,999 and Rs 42,999 and the A35 between Rs 27,999 and Rs 30,999, coupled with their sale commencement on March 18, positions these devices as attractive options for consumers looking for flagship-like features at more accessible price points.
