Samsung Galaxy A55 vs. Samsung Galaxy A54: Performance comparison
Samsung has emphasized that the Samsung Galaxy A55 offers better performance with its latest 1480 chipset. However, the South Korean brand has yet to mention exactly how much faster the new chipset is compared to the previous iteration, but its Antutu scores suggest that it should be better in day-to-day tasks and light gaming.
This is also because the Galaxy A55 has more RAM, as its highest-priced variant has 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, compared to only 8GB RAM support on the Galaxy A54. Both phones however run on Android 14, with One UI 6.1 skin on top.

The Galaxy A55 has yet to launch in the US market. But, it is available in other prominent areas like the Asian or European market and has a starting price of 439 British pounds, roughly converting to around $563.
Samsung Galaxy A55 vs. Samsung Galaxy A54: Final verdict
The Samsung Galaxy A55 certainly has some upgrades over the Samsung Galaxy A54, with processing power and design improvements. However, there is a marginal difference between these two smartphones when it comes to gaming, and you will not see any upgrades in this year's Samsung Galaxy A55. So, the cheaper Samsung Galaxy A54 is still a more sensible buy.
It's worth noting that the Galaxy A55 is not available in the US market now. However, the Galaxy A54, which typically sells for a discounted price of around $300-$350, is still available through popular retailers in the US market and should be easy to find. If you're located in Europe or South Asia, you may want to consider the Galaxy A55 for its more premium design.
