Samsung’s latest A-Series phones borrow some the best flagship traits to give consumers a compelling cheaper option in 2024.
Starting with the A35 you’ll pay A$549 then A$699 for the higher spec A55. Both devices come with Knox Vault security, a hardware-based security solution.
“With the Galaxy A series, we are expanding our latest technologies to a wider audience so that more people can benefit from them,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics.
“We are excited to open up even more possibilities on the Galaxy A series this year, including offering Samsung Knox Vault for the first time on this lineup. We’re proud to enable Galaxy A series users to safely and reliably enjoy outstanding mobile experiences.”
Samsung Knox Vault offers protection against both hardware and software attacks by constructing an environment is physically isolated from the system’s memory.
The A55 has a pretty impressive camera setup for this price-point.
- 12MP Ultra-Wide Camera F2.2
- 50MP Main Camera F1.8, AF, OIS
- 5MP Macro Camera F2.4
- 32MP Front Camera F2.2
