This Monday Samsung made the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 mid-rangers official, after which shortly after that it was revealed that the corporate wasn’t planning on promoting the A55 within the US, whereas the A35 could be provided over there.
This was and is an fascinating reversal of the previous, when the A3x mannequin typically wasn’t accessible within the US, however the A5x gadget at all times was. On the time we received no motive from Samsung for not desirous to promote the A55 within the US, however right this moment that modifications, because the firm issued one other assertion, this time to Android Authority, and this one explains issues fairly properly.
This is what Samsung needed to say in regards to the scenario:
We will affirm that Galaxy A35 5G can be coming to the US market and sit up for sharing extra particulars within the coming weeks. Whereas we is not going to be carrying Galaxy A55 5G at the moment, shoppers can nonetheless benefit from our Galaxy innovation at nice worth with Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 FE.
At first look you may merely gloss over that – the S23 and S23 FE certainly need to be way more costly, proper? Fallacious. Each of these are inside at most $50 of what the A55 would have been bought within the US for had it made the journey – Samsung cannot outright inform you that, however we are able to.
The reality is, the A55 would’ve been a horrible deal contemplating the S23 and S23 FE’s pricing within the US. In comparison with these, the A55 has no redeeming qualities, so why would anybody pay nearly the identical worth for it? Precisely.
The story is after all completely different with the A35, which needs to be less expensive, and it is also completely different in different elements of the world, like Europe, the place the S23 and S23 FE are nonetheless costlier than the A55, despite the fact that if you issue within the specs they’re in all probability the higher buys over there too.
