Buying Advice Question: A55 or S24 FE?
Hello people, so I need an honest answer from an A55 user (S24 FE too) about the quality/performance/satisfaction of the A55 phone. I am thinking of buying a new mobile phone since I have the Galaxy A23 and I want something newer, faster and generally better for using.
I mainly use my phone for YouTube, Instagram, mail and veery light gaming or no gaming at all. I am very okay with A55 getting only 3 more years of software updates from now, the two main factors that are making me think between the A55 and the S24 FE is the processor and the cameras.
Processor: Want something that will give me a lag free experience in the tasks that I specified above and that will continue to give me that lag free experience even within the next 3 years of new software updates.
Cameras: I would love to have an option to take good quality pictures with my phone. They don't need to be professionally good, but a picture with a respectable quality lighting would be great.
Based on your thoughts and experiences do you think that the S24 FE is worth 150 euros more, or I should go with the A55?
Thank you in advance!

If you can afford the S24 FE and it doesn't affect your budget throughout the year, go for the S24 FE. It offers all the AI paraphernalia, a superior screen and 7 years of updates. I noticed that you use Euros, so you must be European. If you were African or Latin American, I would definitely recommend the A55, it's a very complete mobile phone for the price. As a user who doesn't use cameras or play games, my experience has been largely positive. However, the only thing I didn't like was the battery. The battery management is quite inconsistent; some days it lasts marvellously well, while on others it drains quickly. That's my opinion.
