Samsung recently launched the Galaxy A55 5G, which looks like a solid upgrade to the Galaxy A54. What if you don’t have an A55 in front of you? Well, the company just released the Galaxy M55 5G.
Samsung has launched the Galaxy M55 5G in Brazil, which has some changes compared to the Galaxy A55. One of the most notable changes is the switch to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset instead of the Exynos 1480. While the Snapdragon chip has a new, theoretically more powerful CPU, the Exynos 1480 doesn’t necessarily require any major upgrades or downgrades. brings an AMD GPU that looks like a notable upgrade for the mid-range segment.
The Galaxy M55 5G has the same 5,000mAh battery as the Galaxy A55, but allows for 45W wired charging instead of 25W wired speeds. This is a noticeable wattage increase and should significantly reduce the charging time of the Galaxy A54, which is around 85 minutes.
What other features does Galaxy M55 5G have?
Another notable change is that the M55 5G is only available in an 8GB/256GB model in Brazil, compared to the 8GB/128GB base model of the A55. You can expand your microSD using either method.
The Galaxy M55 5G also features a 50MP selfie camera, which is a significant increase in resolution compared to the 32MP shooting camera used in recent A50 series phones. However, that doesn’t necessarily guarantee that the quality of your selfies will be better. Additionally, the new phone features a 50MP + 8MP + 2MP rear camera trio instead of his 50MP + 12MP + 5MP setup on the A55. So it seems like the company is being forced to choose between focusing on selfies or having a better auxiliary rear camera.
Other notable features include a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED screen (FHD+), an under-display fingerprint sensor, One UI 6.1 on Android 14, and a long-term update promise (four major OS updates and five years of security). patch) included. However, there is no mention of the IP rating, which would be a significant downgrade from his IP67 rating on the A55.
In any case, the recommended price for the Galaxy M55 5G is 3,199 Brazilian Real (~$641), but it is currently listed for 2,699.10 Brazilian Real (~$541). There’s no official word on a wider release, but we’ve already spotted a support page for this phone on Samsung’s India website. However, the Galaxy M series is not available in the US, so we won’t be waiting for its release there.
