In a surprising move, Samsung has announced that their planned Galaxy A55 model will not be making its debut in the United States this year. Instead, the tech giant will be introducing the Galaxy A35 to the market. This decision marks a deviation from Samsung’s standard launch sequence.
Despite boasting features such as a 120Hz screen and advanced camera technology, speculations suggest that the Galaxy A55 may not surpass mid-range smartphones from rival companies, such as Google’s Pixel 7a and OnePlus 12R, that have already made a significant impression for their impressive performance, sophisticated camera systems, and lower price points. Therefore, it still remains uncertain if the Galaxy A55 would be able to successfully compete against these well-established counterparts.
In an effort to enhance their flagship sales in the U.S., Samsung meanwhile, is positioning their premium S23 and S23 FE models as formidable contenders to the A55. Through a well-strategized marketing approach, the company aims to fortify its position using the S23 range as their premium offerings, hoping to increase their sales in the U.S. by attracting consumers with a taste for cutting-edge technology.

The upcoming Galaxy A35, set for a U.S. launch, borrows some key features from the A55 but in a more budget-friendly format. It uses internal components from the A54 model to provide an affordable, yet feature-rich smartphone for customers. Despite its reduced pricing, the A35 still manages to maintain some of the signature features of the Galaxy series, ensuring a smooth user experience.
While Samsung’s decision to omit the A55 for the U.S. market this year signals a significant change in their usual practice, the future may still see an A55 release. This move has sparked various speculations among tech enthusiasts and analysts. However, the U.S. market still remains abundant with various mid-range smartphone alternatives, which means that the absence of the Galaxy A55 may not greatly impact customer preferences or decisions.
