Source: Digitec GalaxusSamsung is the best-selling mobile under 300 euros, but Xiaomi offers a strong alternative and wins because the Poco is cheaper.
Samsung has once again put together a strong overall package with the Galaxy A55 and rectified the biggest weakness of its predecessor, its mediocre performance. However, the even better equipped Galaxy S23 FE is also available at the mobile's introductory price. In our opinion, it is therefore worth waiting until the price has fallen before making a purchase, or you can go straight for the FE model.
