Samsung Puts Galaxy A55 US Launch on Hold, Steers Buyers Toward Flagships
• Samsung won't launch the Galaxy A55 mid-range phone in the US this year, instead releasing the cheaper Galaxy A35 model in coming weeks
• Samsung is encouraging US customers interested in the A55 to consider their flagship S23 or S23 FE phones instead as they focus on flagship sales
• Google's Pixel 7a and OnePlus 12R are recommended as better US mid-range options over the A55 in terms of performance and value
• This is the first year in some time Samsung hasn't released their latest A5x mid-ranger in the US, likely due to booming S23 sales there
• The door seems open for a future US launch of the Galaxy A55, but timing remains unclear
