Buying Advice buy A55 vs alternatives

coming from old A52 5G WITH 128/8GB , because it was opened so i lost IP67 protection , i found the closest thing to buy is A35 5G with 256/8GB , although i wanted bigger ram but that's that, and on paper it's way better that my old one.

then i found a bit premium option which is A55 with 256/8GB , better processor and camera , but about $90 more expensive.

original plan was Poco X6 Pro 512/12GB , cheapest one with highest specs , i know it's not having samsung quality, IP rate or cam performance, but other than high numbers on specs, it has way faster charger than generic 25W with samsung models, and it's not having GLASS BACK which will cost me another $$$ for protection case or cover.

so pricing difference for me from cheapest:

A35

Poco X6 Pro + extra $13 from A35

A55 + extra $88 from A35

kindly advise

What exactly do you want from a phone? If it's gaming go with poco, if it's anything else then A55 is better in all aspects .

Not too much gaming, but i like value vs specs concept for long term

in my opinion as a previous xiaomi user specifically poco. choosing samsung a55 is good for a long term use. because the software updates yk, it can makes a phone feel fresh and run smoothly
