Exynos is still sh!t, including the latest 1480. I am saying from my experience of Samsung A55, which I bought on Aug15 2024 only. The phone is NOT heating, battery life is great. But MAN, the modem is totally :hb::poop: :wall: :damn::surprised:


They have somehow sorted out the heating issues for basic and not so heavy tasks. Even battery life is good enough, imho. But
(i) 5G coverage is very very bad.
(ii) Phone shifts to 4G frequently even in decent 5G coverage.
(iii) Even when phone is in strong 5G coverage area, data stops working and you need to toggle / switch ON and then OFF "Airplane Mode". This happens minimum twice a day. It is irritating when doing UPI payments using QR code.
(iv) Even WiFi performance & reach is sh!tty
(v) LTE performance is also third class comparing cheap sub 10k Moto phones.

There is a scarcity of BAD WORDs in all languages around the world, to describe the modem (especially 5G) performance of Exynos 1480. I bought this A55 for the wonderful OneUI, sw support of Samsung, Triple card slot benefit (Dual SIM incl one eSIM and memory card slot). But now I am planning to buy S23 or even Nord 4, exchanging this useless A55, just for peanuts.

I am NOT comparing 5G performance with coverage king Motorola. I am just comparing it with my S21 fe (SD version thankfully) from Samsung. There is still a fair chance that, it is the eSIM of A55 (using Jio in eSIM and BSNL as SIM1) performing poorly, but I totally regret my purchase.

Avoid Samsung Exynos phones like a Plague.

Want to use phone for low to moderate usage like social media, YT, WhatsApp, etc with ZERO gaming. Will you recommend it to me then?
