Earlier this month, Samsung launched the Galaxy A55 as its premium mid-range offering for 2024. The company is now readying an M-series equivalent of the device. Leaked renders have revealed that the Galaxy M55 will sport a slightly different design than the A-series model. A fresh leak has just revealed its detailed specs and those differ too.
The Galaxy M55 has its specs leaked ahead of launch
According to an MSPowerUser report, Samsung will equip the Galaxy M55 with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ display with a Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 1,000 nits of peak brightness. It is a slightly larger panel than the Galaxy A55 (6.6 inches), though the rest of the display specs are unchanged. Both phones have a punch-hole display design, so they look identical from the front.
However, Galaxy M55’s back panel appears slightly curved on the edges. It is also likely a plastic back instead of glass. The frame is also expected to be made of plastic rather than aluminum. Speaking of the frame, Samsung isn’t employing its Key Island frame design here. It’s a standard flat frame with power and volume buttons on the right side. The power button isn’t recessed, hinting at an under-display fingerprint scanner.
The camera design is similar to other Galaxy smartphones launched lately. Samsung will reportedly offer a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro camera on the back. The Galaxy M55 has a 50MP selfie camera on the front. You should get some premium camera features such as OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), dual recording, 4K video recording, and Nightography.
45W charging and 12GB RAM may be on the cards
The Galaxy M55 will reportedly pack a 5,000mAh battery with 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0, a first for non-flagship Samsung phones. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset will power the phone, supported by 8GB and 12GB RAM options. Storage options will include 128GB and 256GB, with Samsung also offering microSD card support up to 1TB. The phone boasts Dolby Atmos sound, Bluetooth v5.2, NFC, and Samsung Knox Vault.
Samsung will ship the Galaxy M55 with Android 14-based One UI 6.1. The device should get four major Android OS updates (up to Android 18) and five years of security patches. The handset will be available in Black and Sky Blue colors and will be relatively lightweight at just 180 grams. A launch date and pricing details are missing but should be available soon. The Galaxy M54 arrived on the market in April 2023.
