A big cheap phones shake-up is imminent as Samsung has announced the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 — a pair of budget-friendly phones that once again impress with some flagship-grade hardware. Hardware that even beats the Galaxy S24 in some areas.
We'll go into the pricing, specs and so on below, but our initial impression is this is a pair of phones that could easily be among the best cheap phones of the year. We've already had an impressive contender in the form of the OnePlus 12R, and we're expecting another — the Google Pixel 8a — in a few months' time. But given how much we liked the Galaxy A54 last year, we have high hopes for these new Galaxy A devices when we get our hands on them for testing.
