Samsung Galaxy A55 and A35 and Repairability Scores Update
In anticipation of the imminent launch of the Samsung Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35, Samsung France has proactively shared the official repairability scores, adhering to France’s compulsory repairability labels for electronic devices instituted in 2020.
The determination of these scores encompasses five critical categories, evaluating factors such as the availability of spare parts, the existence of repairability manuals, and the accessibility of tools necessary for repairs. The ultimate reparability score is derived by multiplying the scores in each category with a weighted coefficient.
Distinguished by its noteworthy performance, the Galaxy A55 secured a commendable 8.5/10 rating, reflecting a subtle enhancement compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy A54, which achieved an 8.3/10 score. Similarly, the Galaxy A35 garnered an 8.4/10 rating, showcasing a marginal but significant 0.1-point improvement over its forerunner.
A detailed breakdown reveals that the new devices promise an extended availability of spare parts, enhanced accessibility to disassembly tools, and a more budget-friendly pricing structure for these essential spare parts.
It is worth noting that, intriguingly, the A35 scored lower in the disassembly category when juxtaposed with its antecedent. Anticipated features of the Galaxy A55 include an Exynos 1480 chipset, a 6.5-inch FHD+ 120 Hz OLED screen, a robust 50 MP main camera, and support for 25W wired charging.
On the other hand, speculation surrounds the Galaxy A35, hinting at an Exynos 1380 chipset, a sizable 6.6-inch 120Hz FHD+ display, and a substantial 5,000 mAh battery with 25W charging capability. While Samsung has yet to officially confirm the launch plans for these highly anticipated devices, the pervasive leaks circulating within the tech sphere strongly suggest that their unveiling is imminent.
