The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G was recently unveiled in Kenya and is currently available in stores starting from Ksh 48,000. You can get the phone in Kenya through online retailers like GadgetsLeo and most offline smartphone retailers. At this price, the Galaxy A55 5G competes with the OPPO Reno 11 F, Redmi Note 13 Pro just to name a few.
The Galaxy A55 5G is the successor to the Galaxy A54 from last year. When it launched in Kenya, I thought the A54 was a bit expensive and didn’t offer good value for money. It was a good phone but there were better options on the market. The phone was available for around Ksh 54,000 so it is good to see the A55 is slightly cheaper.
With the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G, you are getting a 6.6 inch Super AMOLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate. This display is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+. It is powered by Exynos 1480 processor and runs on Android 14 with One UI 6.1 out of the box.
