Samsung has announced a new smartphone, the Galaxy M55. This is the company’s new budget device, which will be available in specific markets. We’ll talk more about the availability and pricing towards the end of the article.
The Samsung Galaxy M55 sports a familiar design
Now, the design. The Galaxy M55 looks like many of its siblings. It has a flat display on the front, with a centered display camera hole. Its bezels are not thick, but its bottom bezel is thicker than the rest of them.
All the physical buttons sit on the right-hand side, while the back side of the phone is slightly curved on the edges. There are three cameras included on the back. They’re vertically aligned in the top-left corner of the phone’s back.
It includes a flat Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate
The Galaxy M55 features a 6.7-inch fullHD+ (2400 x 1080) Super AMOLED display. It is a flat panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, which offers up to 1,000 nits of brightness.
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC fuels this smartphone, while you’re also getting 8GB of RAM. Samsung included 256GB of storage here, which is expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card.
Android 14 comes pre-installed on the device, along with Samsung One UI 6.1. The phone includes a hybrid dual SIM card slot. In other words, you can either use two nano SIM cards, or a nano SIM card and a microSD card combo.
A 5,000mAh battery is also included, and 45W wired charging supported
A 5,000mAh battery sits on the inside of this phone, and 45W wired charging is supported. The phone does include an in-display fingerprint scanner too, and supports Bluetooth 5.3. Dolby Atmos is supported as well.
A 50-megapixel main camera (f/1.8 aperture) is backed by an 8-megapixel ultrawide unit (f/2.2 aperture). A 2-megapixel depth sensor (f/2.4 aperture) also sits on the back of the phone. On the front, you’ll find a 50-megapixel front-facing camera (f/2.2 aperture).
The Samsung Galaxy M55 measures 163.9 x 76.5 x 7.8mm, while it weighs 180 grams. It comes in Dark Blue and Green color variants.
This smartphone was announced in Brazil, for now. It will spread to more markets soon. It is priced at 3,199 Brazilian Real ($640). So, it’s actually quite pricey considering its specs and everything, but there you go.
