Display
The newly launched Galaxy F55 features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ screen that supports 120Hz refresh rate. Even though the display supports 1,000 nits of peak brightness, making it easier to view the on-screen content under direct sunlight, it is not the brightest in the segment. In terms of resolution, the phone ships with a pixel density of 393 ppi. Last but not least, the screen is built on a 20:9 aspect ratio.
The Moto Edge 50 Fusion, in comparison, features a 6.7-inch P-OLED screen that supports 144Hz refresh rate. Unlike the Galaxy F55, Edge 50 Fusion ships with 1,600 nits of peak brightness, which makes it exceptionally brighter, even in well-lit environments. The resolution, however, remains the same as that of Samsung’s competitor at 393 ppi. In terms of aspect ratio, the Edge 50 Fusion is also built on 20:9.
The OnePlus 11R features a 6.74-inch Fluid AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate. Its peak brightness of 1,450 nits puts it between the Edge 50 Fusion (at the top) and the Galaxy F55 (at the bottom). What wins over the other two competitors is the screen’s resolution. At 451 ppi, the OnePlus 11R flaunts the sharpest display of the three smartphones.
Even though the aspect ratio (20:9) is similar to the other phones, the OnePlus 11R offers the best screen of the three phones, striking a balance between the peak brightness and the overall sharpness.

Processor
Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy F55 features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC (4nm). The octa-core chip consists of one 2.4GHz Cortext-A710 core, three 2.36GHz Cortex-A710 cores, and four 1.8GHz Cortext-A510 cores. To make the comparison easier, we’ll also list the Geekbench scores for the processors being used in these smartphones.
For instance, the Galaxy F55’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC scores around 960 points in the single-core and 2,760 points in the multi-core benchmark test (via NanoReview). With the mid-range processor, the smartphone is available in the country in three variants. The base variant ships with an 8/128GB configuration. Further, the other two models have an 8/256GB and 12/256GB configuration, respectively.
The Moto Edge 50 Fusion’s international variant ships with Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC (4nm). The octa-core processor consists of four 2.40GHz Cortex-A78 cores and four 1.95GHz Cortex-A55 cores. According to NanoReview, the processor scores around 1,010 points on the single-core and 2,940 points on the multi-core Geekbench 6 test. In India, the phone is available in two configurations: 8/128GB and 12/256GB.
The OnePlus 11R (review) takes away the throne with a flagship-tier processor. It features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC (4nm), which has a 3GHz prime core, along with three 2.5GHz Cortex-A710 and four 1.80GHz Cortex-A510 cores. Per NanoReview, the chipset scores 1,767 points in the single-core and 4,591 points in the multi-core Geekbench 6 test. This particular model is also available in two configurations: 8/128GB and 12/256GB.
If raw performance is your priority for playing games, editing videos, or heavy multitasking, the OnePlus 11R will handle it the best.
Cameras
The Galaxy F55 flaunts a triple camera setup. First, it features a 50MP (f/1.8) primary sensor paired with optical image stabilization (OIS). Then there’s an 8MP (f/2.2, 123-degrees) ultrawide sensor and a 2MP (f/2.4) macro sensor for clicking small subjects like flowers, water drops, etc. On the front, however, is something that leaves all the other selfie shooters in the comparison behind: a 50MP (f/2.4) camera. The phone can shoot 4K videos in up to 30 frames per second.
The Moto Edge 50 Fusion has a dual-camera setup. While the primary camera is a 50MP (f/1.9, OIS) sensor, the secondary camera on the handset is a 13MP (f/2.2, 120-degrees) ultrawide shooter. Notice how the Edge 50 Fusion’s ultrawide sensor has a smaller field of view than the Galaxy F55. On the front, the Moto smartphone houses a 32MP (f/2.5) selfie shooter. While the primary camera can record 4K videos at 30 frames per second, the front camera is limited to 1080p at 30 frames per second.
Unlike the screen and the performance department, there’s nothing special about the OnePlus 11R here. The phone has a 50MP (f/1.8, OIS) primary camera, an 8MP (f/2.2, 120-degrees) ultrawide sensor, and a 2MP (f/2.4) macro shooter. On the front, users get a 16MP (f/2.4) selfie shooter, which can also record 1080p videos in 30 frames per second. Thanks to the powerful processor, though, the rear cameras can record 4K videos in 60 frames per second.
To sum up, both the Galaxy F55 and the OnePlus 11R feature a versatile camera system. While the former has the widest field of view for the ultrawide camera, the latter can record videos at 4K 60 fps.

Battery
The Samsung Galaxy F55 packs a 5,000 mAh battery, which is pretty standard in the segment. Further, the cell supports 45W wired charging, which is quite good, given that Samsung’s flagships usually provide the same charging rate.
The Moto Edge 50 Fusion, on the other hand, also features a 5,000 mAh battery. However, the charging rate stands higher at 68W, which charges the battery from zero to 50 percent in 15 minutes (as advertised).
The OnePlus 11R also features a 5,000 mAh battery that supports a whopping 100W wired charging, which is among the fastest in the segment. Hence, if you want a phone that lasts an entire day and charges in no time, go for the OnePlus 11R.
Connectivity Options
Connectivity options on the Galaxy F55 include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.2, GPS, GALILEO, NFC, and USB Type-C 2.0.
The Moto Edge 50 Fusion features Wi-Fi 802.11 dual-band, Bluetooth v5.2, GPS, GALILEO, NFC, and USB Type-C 2.0.
The OnePlus 11R offers Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.3, GPS, GALILEO, NFC, Infrared Port, NFC and USB Type-C 2.0 port.
Software Support
With the Galaxy F55, Samsung has promised to provide at least four major Android and five major security updates. Out of the box, the phone runs One UI 6.1 based on Android 14. Given the promise of software updates, phones should receive at least Android 18 in 2028.
The Lenovo-owned smartphone brand Moto has promised three operating system upgrades and four major security upgrades with the Edge 50 Fusion. Out of the box, the smartphone runs on Android 14, which means that it should receive Android 17.
Given that the OnePlus 11R is a year old at this point, it should receive the Android 15 update later this year and, hopefully, the Android 16 update in 2025. Further, the handset will receive another year of security updates after that.
Hence, in terms of software updates, the Galaxy F55 should provide the longest support.

Galaxy F55 Vs. Moto Edge 50 Fusion Vs. OnePlus 11R: Conclusion
All the options in this comparison hold their ground individually. The Galaxy F55 5G is an excellent option for someone using an entry-level Samsung or a three- to four-year-old mid-ranger from the company. A familiar user interface, a more powerful chipset, and a decent camera should provide enough reasons to upgrade.
The Moto Edge 50 Fusion, on the other hand, provides a clean Android experience, something that the brand is known for. It also features a decent camera system, fast wired charging, and a few years of Android updates up its sleeve.
The OnePlus 11R is an easy recommendation for power users. Those who are into casual mobile gaming, do tasks like photo or video editing, or use multiple apps at once will be more happy with this device than the others.
