Samsung has officially launched its two most-awaited midranges, the Galaxy A55 5G and the Galaxy A35 5G. Both smartphones come with all the high-end specifications that will provide users with high-end performance, strengthened security, and many new innovative features. Let’s explore the devices in detail.

Both the Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A55 smartphones come with a Super AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. Both of the devices feature a triple camera setup on the rear side and a punch-hole camera in the front, which gives them an aesthetic look.
