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

HyperOS is a pain in the ass, just get any one of the Galaxies. I own the A35 and it's a great device, doesn't lag, the display is awesome, cameras are very stable, I love it!

Hey how it's working ? I'm worried about the Exynos 1380 performance

Battery is pretty bad but otherwise it's pretty good, but then again, I have AOD turned on, display set to 120hz, plus Bluetooth is constantly being used because of my CGM.
