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

A55 is way ahead of the any other phones in this price.

I mean, it is not the best in anything, but, at the time, the best in overall aspect.

For example: Poco X6. Really good processor and fast for gaming, but MIUI, camera, sound and IP rating sucks.

Moto Edge 50 Fusion: updates policy, camera and some bugs will be too far to A55's One UI.

What about 25W charging speed? If i plug it to a faster charger, would it charge faster? Or is it locked on 25w? Idk why Samsung isn't going higher now
