The Galaxy A54 debuted earlier this year with rather mediocre specifications for the price. Although the handset featured a design similar to the Galaxy S23 series, the thick bezels on the display and the Exynos 1380 chip caused mixed reactions among consumers. Reports suggest Samsung is now testing its next premium mid-range smartphone— Galaxy A55. The handset is rumored to get an upgraded Exynos chip. Here are the details.

According to a GalaxyClub report, Samsung is testing the Galaxy A55 with a processor with the model designation S5E8845. The chipset, bearing the codename “Rose,” is likely the Exynos 1480. This is because the Exynos 1280 is labeled S5E8825, while the 1380 is designated S5E8835. Since the following two processors powered the Galaxy A53 and A54, it only makes sense that the Exynos 1480 will be under the Galaxy A55’s hood.

The publication also hints that the Exynos 1480 will be supported by an AMD graphics unit. This corroborates a previous leak by tipster Revegnus, who claimed the upcoming mid-range Exynos SoCs will have an AMD mRDNA-based GPU. However, the tipster warned against having too much hope for this GPU.

Finally, the report says Galaxy A55 will not be having an upgrade in the camera department as it will feature the same 50MP primary sensor as the Galaxy A54. This might mean the handset will retain a 12MP ultrawide and a 5MP macro shooter.

Other details about the Galaxy A55 are still anyone’s guess. Based on Samsung’s usual schedule, we can assume the handset will debut early next year in March. You might expect a 120Hz AMOLED display on the smartphone, along with a 5,000mAh battery unit and Samsung’s blazing-fast 25W charging tech (pun intended).
