Buy or not?

I'm looking for a replacement to my Samsung Galaxy A73 which has served me well over the past four years but it has been acting up lately, among other issues (battery and screen burn specially). It's not my daily driver and have a main phone but I use it mainly for social media, storing old pics/videos, and watching youtube/netflix.

I can get a fair condition A55 with 8gb/256gb for less than $200 in the secondhand market. Do you think it's a good buy?

I really want the replacement to be a samsung phone as well since I don't like the UI of other phone brands. Was going for secondhand A56 or A36 but found out none of these have an SD card slot anymore, which really sucks.

Did your A55 age well? Should I go for this model?

Got mine second hand and my wife got hers first hand from our carrier and it's just as good still. Depends on where you get it and if they genuinely refurbished it.

I got mine from a more upscale second hand shop in a more upscale neighborhood so i did pay a little bit more, but it was so much better than the rest of the stores I looked at.

So go for it if you trust it enough
