You can already nab the Samsung Galaxy A55 for 20% off, just months after launch – now just AU$558

A phone that has just shot to the top of our best cheap phones round-up, the Samsung Galaxy A55 is one of the best phones you can buy without breaking the bank. Carrying on the strong legacy of the excellent Samsung Galaxy A54 and the A-series that came before it, what sets the A55 apart from its predecessors and other mid-range handsets is its looks.

While the A54 was certainly good looking, it looked like most other phones in this price bracket – like a cheap alternative to the flagship line . The Galaxy A55 does not. With a beautiful blend of coloured glass and metal, the A55's plastic-free design screams quality. Making it look and feel like a premium handset and remain at a tasty price – a price that just got even tastier.

Bigger and better than its predecessor, with a larger display, upgraded chipset and better battery life, at its original price point the Galaxy A55 offered excellent value. At just over AU$550, hard to ignore would be an understatement. With a rear camera trio boasting a 50MP main camera, an ultra-wide camera and macro camera, there is no photo that the Galaxy A55 can't handle. Where it really excels against others in this class, though, is in low-light situations. Whether it's moonlit selfies, group shots in dimly-lit restaurants or candid pet pics in the hazy light of the TV, the A55 will have no issues snapping beautiful shots in the darkness of night. 

Probably the weakest feature of the Galaxy A55 is its audio performance, but that's only because it performs so well everywhere else. With more than satisfactory studio speakers, you'll have no problems listening to music in the shower – don't worry, it has an IP67 rating – or podcasts from your pocket while you do the laundry. If you're like a little more from your listening though, Amazon has you covered.

With great ANC for an earbud, a classy design, supreme comfort and fantastic sound quality, the only thing that held them back from a perfect score in our Samsung Galaxy Pro Buds 2 review was a slightly sub-par battery life.
