I'm torn between these two phones for playing games like Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile without breaking the bank. The Galaxy A55 seems solid but I'm not really sure if the Exynos processor will hold up over time. With Motorola, I've heard it's well optimized but less powerful. Do you think which one will hold up better in 2-3 years?
For casual gaming, both should handle things pretty well, but the Galaxy A55 has a slight edge because of the processor. Samsung's Exynos has a bad reputation, but honestly for Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile it runs fine - it's the ultra demanding games that give it trouble. The Motorola Edge 50 has a less powerful processor (Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 if I remember right), so in the long run it might start showing wear a bit faster as games get heavier.
Where you really need to look is battery life and thermal management. The A55 has a good-sized battery and Samsung does a decent job cooling it. The Motorola's also solid on that front. If you play for a few hours straight, both will get a bit warm but it stays normal.
For durability over 2-3 years, I'd lean toward the Galaxy A55 - you'll be more comfortable even if games get more demanding. But it also depends on your priorities: do you prefer a smoother display, better battery life, photo quality? And are those really the only two games you want, or do you want to be able to test other stuff later?
