S amsung’s Galaxy A series has long been renowned for bringing the company’s industry-leading tech to a broader audience, and this year’s models, the A35 5G and A55 5G, are the most powerful yet. Both models pack a 50MP main camera, providing a range of advanced photography capabilities. The batteries will keep you powered up for two days, even while watching videos on a large, better-than-Full HD display with a buttery smooth 120Hz refresh rate. And they're

powered by a zippy processor and 5G connectivity, and backed up by generous and expandable storage. Plus, for the first time on the Galaxy A series, Samsung has brought over its sturdy security system, Samsung Knox Vault. Your most sensitive data, like passwords and payment details, are stored in a “vault” that’s physically separated from the phone’s memory and can only be accessed with your lock screen credentials. If an attack is detected, the vault will lock itself.

The Galaxy A55 5G ups the game by almost tripling the megapixel count of the front-facing camera, as well as boosting the ultra-wide angle lens. The main camera is specially designed for ‘Nightography’, snapping better shots in the dark aided by advanced AI Image Signal Processing. The phone is finished with style in a premium metal and glass design. Samsung Galaxy A55 5G
