In the final week of March, Amazon Germany offered a free storage upgrade for the Galaxy A55, where both the 128GB and 256GB models were priced at €480. Although this offer has ended, the prices of both versions have now decreased.
The 256GB model now costs €460, while the 128GB model is priced at €400, making it a more attractive option. The Galaxy A55 comes with a microSD slot for easy storage expansion if needed. It features a premium design, excellent battery life, and a Samsung/AMD chipset that is fast and reliable even under heavy use.
Another option is the Samsung Galaxy A35, which shares the same display features as the A55, including Gorilla Glass Victus+. However, it is equipped with the older Exynos 1380 chipset. The 128GB model only offers 6GB of RAM, while the 256GB version provides 8GB RAM at a slightly higher price. Despite these differences, the two phones are quite similar in many aspects.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is also suggested as an alternative to the A55 in certain regions, but not in Germany. The 128GB model of the S23 FE is €160 pricier than the A55. Despite offering better performance with the Exynos 2200, the inferior battery life and the average quality of the 10MP 3x telephoto camera make it less appealing.
If you’re looking for budget-friendly zoom capabilities, the Realme 12 Pro+ is worth considering. It features a 3x periscope lens with a 64MP sensor, delivering great results in various lighting conditions. Additionally, it offers a 50MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide lens, 32MP selfie camera, 6.7” 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED display, Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, and a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support.
The Honor 90 Lite offers a 100MP main camera at a lower price point. While lacking a dedicated telephoto lens, it utilizes digital zooming. Featuring a 6.7” 90Hz IPS LCD display (FHD+), Dimensity 6020 chipset for 5G connectivity, and a 4,500mAh battery with 35W fast charging, this phone also includes a less notable 5MP ultra-wide camera.
Amazon is offering a unique deal involving the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 or Tab A9+ together with a pair of Galaxy Buds Pro 2. While you can purchase just the tablets at a €100 discount, the headphones alone cost €140. The models come in variants with Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, with the A9+ model offering 5G support compared to the regular A9’s 4G capability.
The Lenovo Legion Go adopts the Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, similar to the Asus ROG Ally, but adds detachable controllers like those found in the Nintendo Switch. It also offers an 8.8” LCD with QHD+ resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, providing an edge over the Ally.
Despite exiting the smartphone market, LG continues to produce accessories. The LG Tone Free DT80Q TWS earbuds feature ANC, Dolby Atmos, and Dolby Head Tracking technologies, with sound processing developed by the renowned British audio specialists Meridian.
