What CompareTab says about Samsung Galaxy A55 vs Alcatel Idol X
Samsung Galaxy A55 has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over Idol X, with 8 GB of RAM versus 2 GB, 128 GB of storage versus 16 GB, a 5000 mAh battery versus 2000 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (50 MP versus 13.1 MP), a higher-resolution front camera (32 MP versus 2.1 MP), optical image stabilization on the main camera, and 25W charging. Alcatel Idol X, however, is around $100 cheaper, lighter at 120 g versus 213 g, and thinner at 6.9 mm versus 8.2 mm. The main trade-off is Galaxy A55’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus Idol X’s lower price and lighter, thinner build.
