Leaks have revealed that the Samsung Galaxy M55 5G may arrive with a starting price of Rs 26,999 (~$325). This means that the device will face competition from smartphones of different brands in the same price category. The specifications of the smartphone are no secret, as it is already available for purchase in some markets, like Brazil. Previously, it was thought that the M55 could be a rebranded or tweaked version of the Galaxy A55. However, it is quite different from the A55, which is priced at around Rs 40,000 (~$480) in India.

On April 8, India will see the launch of the Galaxy M55 alongside the Galaxy M15. Are you looking forward to purchasing it? If yes, this list of the top 5 standout features of the M55 might help you.

1. 120Hz AMOLED display

The Galaxy M55 mid-range phone flaunts a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ display flanked by slim bezels. The screen offers FHD+ resolution and 48Hz to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate support.

With a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits, will be capable of delivering vibrant and stunning visuals even in bright outdoor environments.

2. Big battery with 45W fast charging

Galaxy M55 supports 45W charging

Last year, the Galaxy M54 came with a massive 6,000mAh battery that carried support for 25W fast charging. This time around, Samsung has reduced the battery size to 5,000mAh on the M55, but increased the fast-charging support to 45W.

According to the brand, the M55 can charge from 0 to 70 percent in just 30 minutes. However, like the recent Samsung, the M55 may not come with an in-box charger.

3. Longer software support

The Galaxy M55 will ship with One UI 6 based on Android 14. To recall, the Galaxy M54 model is eligible for four years of Android OS upgrades and five years of security updates.

It’s likely Galaxy M55 owners will enjoy the same generous software update policy, making it one of the longest-supported smartphones on the market.

4. Decent 4nm Snapdragon 7-series chip

The Galaxy M55 is powered by the 4nm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, which debuted in May 2022. The Honor 90 is the only other phone available in India equipped with the same chip.

The leaked prices of the M55 suggest that it will compete with the likes of Snapdragon 7s Gen 2-powered phones, such as the Redmi Note 13 Pro and the Realme 12 Pro+. For those who don’t know, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is quite similar to the older Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip.

In terms of performance, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 may work similarly to the SD7sGen2 if not slightly better. Additionally, reports suggest that the device will come equipped with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of built-in storage.

5. Versatile camera setup

The M54 offered a 32-megapixel front camera and a 108-megapixel (OIS) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit.

The Galaxy M55, on the other hand, has an OIS-assisted 50-megapixel main camera and the same ultra-wide and macro cameras on the back. On the front, the M55 flaunts a 50-megapixel selfie camera, which means the phone will be good for people who prefer blogging and snapping selfies.

Overall, the Galaxy M55 seems like a solid mid-range contender. Its vibrant display, ample battery with faster charging, generous software support, capable processor, and versatile camera system make it an attractive option. However, it remains to be seen how it fares in real-world performance and compares to its competitors when it officially launches in India.
