Samsung is developing a new M-series device, the Galaxy M55, which will be a rebranded variant of the Galaxy A55, a smartphone that the company launched last week. So far, there have been multiple leaks about the upcoming M-series smartphone, revealing its specifications. Today, we have a real-life image of the Galaxy M55, courtesy of Mukul Sharma, which reveals the phone’s design, color options, and a few features.
The image shows the rear side of two smartphones, one in sky-blue color and one in black color, which Mukul claims are Galaxy M55 units. Going by the image, it seems to have a slightly different back panel compared to the Galaxy A55. While the A-series device has a flat back panel, the one on the M-series phone has a slight curve on the edges. The picture also confirms that the Galaxy M55 has three cameras at the rear.
The tipster claims that Samsung will launch the Galaxy M55 in India. Going by the prices of the previous A-series models and their M-series counterparts, the company should price the Galaxy M55 slightly lower than the Galaxy A55. So, if you were looking for a cheaper alternative to the Galaxy A55, the Galaxy M55 could be an option for you. Earlier today, the support page of the device went live, confirming the phone’s existence.
Galaxy M55 expected specifications
Considering that the Galaxy M55 will be a rebranded variant of the Galaxy A55, the upcoming M-series device will have specifications similar to the Galaxy A-series device. That means it should sport a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz variable refresh rate, Android 14-based One UI 6.1, a 50MP primary + 12MP ultrawide + 5MP macro camera setup at the rear, and a 32MP selfie camera.
However, we expect the Galaxy M55 to have three differences compared to the Galaxy A55. First, reports suggest that it could feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC instead of the Exynos 1480 in Galaxy A55. Second, it could lose out on an IP rating for dust and water resistance, a cost-cutting measure that Samsung will have to use to offer the phone at a lower price. Third, it could come with a larger, 6,000mAh battery pack.
