Samsung has announced that it will not be launching the Galaxy A55 in the US. The company wants to direct potential buyers of the Galaxy A55 to other mid-range devices such as the Samsung S23 and S23 FE, which are available at a lower price point. While some may see this as disappointing news for those looking forward to purchasing a new phone, it is important to note that there are many other options available in the market. It's also worth considering that mid-range devices can still offer excellent performance and features without breaking the bank.
The Samsung Galaxy A55 uses Gorilla Glass Victus Plus for its display while the Samsung Galaxy A54 used Gorilla Glass 5. This should make the newer phone more durable.

The article is a comparison between Samsung Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A54. The two phones have some similarities in terms of design, display size and refresh rate, camera setup and battery life. However there are also significant differences such as the chipset upgrade from Exynos 1380 to Exynos 1480 for Samsung Galaxy A55 which should make switching between apps smoother. The new phone also features a larger display at 6.6-inches compared to the previous model's smaller display of 6.4 inches, and uses Gorilla Glass Victus Plus instead of Gorilla Glass 5 for better durability.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the Galaxy A35 will be coming to the US market and look forward to sharing more details in the coming weeks. However, this statement contradicts Samsung's official confirmation that they won't be carrying the Galaxy A55 5G at all. Secondly, while there is no clear evidence of bias or fallacies present in this article, it does not disclose any sources and only quotes a representative from Samsung without providing their name or title. Lastly, the article presents information about two different phones (the Galaxy A35 and the Galaxy A55) as if they are one product when discussing its US availability.
Samsung quotes a representative from their company without providing any additional context or information about them. This makes it difficult to determine if they are an unbiased source.
The statement that 'Galaxy A35 5G will be coming to the US market' is deceptive because it implies that both the Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A55 will be released in the US, but only the former has been confirmed for a release.

The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses inflammatory rhetoric when comparing the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 by stating that they are 'comfortably on par with their 6.6-inch Super AMOLED displays' but then goes on to say that the 'Awesome Ice Blue, Awesome Lemon, Awesome Lilac, and Awesome Navy colors of the new phones are quirky'. This is an example of a slippery slope fallacy as it implies that because something is comfortable or good in one aspect it must be bad in another. Additionally, the author uses an appeal to authority when stating that 'Samsung has kindly packaged in 25W fast charging into both devices' but does not provide any evidence for this claim.
