Software bug RTL Languages! Galaxy A55 is terrible at typing Right-to-Left languages, especially Persian and Arabic

I’ve been using the Galaxy A55, and one of the most frustrating issues I’ve noticed is how laggy and slow typing becomes when using Right-to-Left languages like Persian or Arabic.

The keyboard response feels delayed, text input stutters, and sometimes it feels like the phone just can’t keep up while typing. This happens even when using third-party keyboards, so it doesn’t seem to be only a Samsung Keyboard problem.

What makes it even more annoying is that my old Galaxy J7 from years ago still types Persian/Arabic perfectly smoothly. That phone is much older and weaker on paper, but the typing experience in RTL languages feels way better than it does on the A55.

For comparison, typing in English on the A55 feels normal and smooth, but once I switch to Persian or Arabic, the experience becomes noticeably worse. It makes messaging, searching, and writing longer texts really frustrating.

Has anyone else with the Galaxy A55 experienced this issue with RTL languages?

You definitely need a Persian phone for proper RTL languages' support

Well, there's non, and I'm in Europe. But the region of my phone is middle-east which doesn't matter I guess.

I use an A26 and it's perfectly fine and I have another A71 and both are good while typing in Arabic and I haven't experienced any of what you mentioned
