What CompareTab says about Apple iPhone 17e vs Samsung Galaxy A55 5G

Samsung Galaxy A55 5G has the larger display and faster wired charging than iPhone 17e, with a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz and 25 W wired charging versus 20 W. It also adds a higher-resolution front camera (32 MP versus 12 MP) and an ultrawide rear camera. Apple iPhone 17e, however, is lighter at 169 g versus 213 g and thinner at 7.8 mm versus 8.2 mm and has higher quoted peak brightness at 1200 nits versus 1000 nits. The main trade-off is Galaxy A55 5G’s faster charging, smoother display, and camera features versus iPhone 17e’s higher quoted peak brightness and lighter, thinner build.
