Samsung Galaxy A55: Design, specifications, features, price, and more
Design
The Samsung Galaxy A55 has a Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz peak refresh rate, just like last year's Galaxy A54.
The smartphone also retains the punch-hole design at the front, which houses the 32MP selfie sensor. However, this time, it comes with an aluminum frame, which provides a more premium feeling. The device also has IP67 dust and water certification.
Specs and features
The Samsung Galaxy A55 is now powered by the Exynos 1480 chipset, which is an octa-core chipset. It also has a bigger 6.6-inch screen compared to last year's Galaxy A54, which has a 6.4-inch display.
The device is expected to run a full day without any hiccups, as it has a big 5,000mAh battery.
Additionally, the smartphone has a triple camera setup at the back and a 32MP selfie camera sensor, which can shoot 4K videos at 30fps. The 50MP main camera sensor can click highly detailed shots in the daytime, but users may find noise in images in low light. The 12MP ultrawide angle lens offers similar performance. The device also has a 5MP macro lens for close-up shots.
Price & release date
The Samsung Galaxy A55 has launched in Europe and India. However, the company has still not confirmed whether it will launch in the US in the future.
The smartphone is available in Awesome Iceblue, Navy, Lilac, and Lemon color options with three different RAM and storage options. Here are the prices of the variants:
- 8GB/128GB: ₹39,999/ €440
- 8GB/256GB: ₹42,999/ €475

While it is disappointing that the Galaxy A55 is not available in the US, the smartphone is a value buy and has some perks over its predecessor. It comes with a less impressive display with huge chin bezels, compared to higher-priced S-series smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. However, with its bigger battery and camera improvements, it's still a worthy buy for Samsung lovers.
