SAMSUNG has launched a pair of smartphones that won’t break the bank despite flaunting some premium level features.
It’s been a busy year for the Korean tech giant already, having launched big AI boasting Samsung Galaxy S24 phones in January.

But now it’s time for some new arrivals in the mid-range price point.
The two new devices are called the Galaxy A55 5G and the Galaxy A35 5G.
It’s the first time Samsung has included its top level security upgrades on the budget Galaxy A series of handsets.
And there’s also a killer battery that Samsung claims can last up to two days on a single charge.

They flaunt improved cameras capable of taking better snaps in the dark too.
Both are secured by Samsung Knox, the company’s multi-layer security platform that’s designed to keep critical information safe and protect against bank-raiding vulnerabilities.
A 5000mAh battery is on board – which is the same size as the company’s top-of-the-range Galaxy S24 Ultra and bigger than any iPhone battery too.
The only real difference between the two is a slightly different chipset under the hood to power things – the A55 is a bit stronger on that front.

And the cameras aren’t identical either, with the selfie cam coming in at 32-megapixels on the A55 compared to 13-megapixels on the A35.
Aside from that, they look exactly the same with a 6.6-inch display and four colour options.
