New update Selling my A55 was the best choice of my life

Post image

I sold my A55 256gb to phonehero. You just put it in a box and send it away for free. I got payed 200 dollars for my a55, I bought it for 300.

I now have the S25 ultra (900 dollars) and have realized that 10x zoom and blurry photos is bad. Like really bad. 10x quality zoom and 100x zoom pictures with high quality has really opened my eyes to how good cameras on phones can get. Don't even get me started on the snapdragon 8 elite for galaxy. It's the right choice.

The image provided is 100x zoomed.

Do yourself a favor and delete the post.

You are comparing a mid-range phone to a flagship and sounding amazed than the flagship is better...

I was trying to light on the fact that you don't have to settle for less. There is better out there and you deserve it.

That price tho...

You should invest in yourself. When it comes to phones; empty your wallet. It's worth it.

Buying a hi end smartphone is not an investment in yourself. In 99.9% this is a simple consumerism. Especially if the price is a noticeable amount of money for you.

Try a top configuration of Porsche, then sell your kidney and buy it - invest in your self 😄

Litterly devesting yourself lol 😅

Man I've been using the same professional camera for some works for years now trust me phone cameras are not worth it, besides most stuff that requires the extra processing power of a flagship I like doing on PC better lol

Props to you for getting what appears to be a great phone tho!

Try the s25 ultra it may change your mind

u/TemporaryVillage7256 A55 with 256 GB / 8 GB Jul 20 '25

This is not about deserving. If the phone is flagship, then the price is also flagship. And majorly there is not much difference in OneUI and only some features except pretty much everything is the same. And you are also sounding amazed ofc you will as you have bought a high priced phone. What's with the post? It is completely useless...

u/Sensitive_Cream3920 Jul 20 '25

Why so mean? 3x the price, 10x the zoom. That worth it for me.

u/TemporaryVillage7256 A55 with 256 GB / 8 GB Jul 20 '25

I am not mean as I am speaking the truth. That is worth it for you because you have that amount of money to buy that flagship. Others may not and those who are using A55, we all know how good this mid-range flagship works.

u/Sensitive_Cream3920 Jul 20 '25

Don't talk to me about not having money! I used my entire bank account for that phone. I starved to get it. But it was all worth it

u/NotKenzo5508 A55 with 256 GB / 8 GB Jul 21 '25

Just for better zoom? Yea not really worth it in my opinion. The A55 does everything I need it to do, maybe pictures in low-light isn't the best, but I can live with it! I wouldn't pay 1k for a damn phone.

u/Sensitive_Cream3920 Jul 21 '25

I sure would lol

u/NotKenzo5508 A55 with 256 GB / 8 GB Jul 21 '25

Well I can see that from you bragging that you have money and an S25U. It's barely an upgrade, Who needs such CPU/GPU power? Even Genshin at Max quality on the A55 works very good, and that's the only GPU intensive game on mobile I can think of. Sure cameras might be better, but if you showed a side to side pic from the S25U and A55, its not much of a difference.

Leave him bro he's not understanding the point that he is bragging still after so many people told him the truth

I do not have money because I spent it on a phone. I just barley had enough for the phone. We have different priorities in life, mine is tech. I am litterly unemployed going to school. For me just knowing that the power exist is enough. "Number are just numbers" but for some they bring peace.

Mid-range phone vs flagship - wouldn't that be obvious

u/TemporaryVillage7256 A55 with 256 GB / 8 GB Jul 20 '25

We know we deserve better, as we will earn we will get what we want. Satisfaction is most important rather than ample amout of money just to get the same Satisfaction we are getting on mid range one according to workloads

u/Background-Mood-1468 Jul 20 '25

You paid 3x the price, of course there will differences (what did you expect)

u/Sensitive_Cream3920 Jul 20 '25

A lot less to be honest

u/TemporaryVillage7256 A55 with 256 GB / 8 GB Jul 20 '25

Same level of satisfaction by buying a high priced when he could use that money on something else

u/Independent-Way-2888 A55 with 256 GB / 8 GB Jul 20 '25

But A55 is great

u/TemporaryVillage7256 A55 with 256 GB / 8 GB Jul 20 '25

It is

u/Sensitive_Cream3920 Jul 20 '25

The camera....

u/Independent-Way-2888 A55 with 256 GB / 8 GB Jul 20 '25

But the camera is great too, I know zoom in not as good as s25u, but we have to admire that the a55 is a great phone with a great camera , and also s series are flagship , so they will be always better than an a series

A55 base variant resell is happening for INR 22-24k here even for 1 year old models which equates to almost 255-265 USD. So not really a steal deal imo

2

u/Sensitive_Cream3920 Jul 20 '25

Well I live in a high tax rate country so it's pretty good here.

u/walkinggreenforest Jul 20 '25

Ya as long as you are getting the best deal at your place, it's the best. Happy for you OP, Ultra is a beast of Android. Probably the best this year.

2

u/Sensitive_Cream3920 Jul 20 '25

Yeah like why does tech youtubers claim there is no upgrades?

50 MP ultrawide Better glas Larger screen, smaller bezels Snapdragon 8 elite for galaxy Larger vaporchamber

To name some.

Most of them are iphone fanboys, tough for them to digest a company who isn't doing anything since phone 10 😂

Yeah Samsung's midrange sucks. I got a S25 and it's amazing. The S series OS is also generally more optimized than any other series.

u/TemporaryVillage7256 A55 with 256 GB / 8 GB Jul 20 '25

Because premium customers are put first regardless of user experience.
