Samsung France shared the official repairability scores for the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 ahead of their launch. France implemented mandatory repairability labels for electronic devices back in 2020. The rating is based on 5 categories which take into account the availability of spare parts, repairability manuals and tools required for repairs among others. The scores for each category are then multiplied by a weighted coefficient for the final reparability score.
Galaxy A55 earned an 8.5/10 rating which is a slight bump over last year’s Galaxy A54 which managed 8.3/10 score.

Galaxy A35 is rumored to bring an Exynos 1380 chipset, a 6.6-inch 120Hz FHD+ display and a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W charging. Samsung has yet to confirm official launch plans for either of the two Galaxy devices but given the amount of leaks we can assume their launch is near.
