Scheduled for unveiling alongside the Galaxy A35 on March 11, the Samsung Galaxy A55 found its surprise spoiled by a Belgian telecom company, which preemptively listed the device on its website, complete with a comprehensive specs sheet and a selection of official images. While many of the specifications were already circulating in the rumor mill, this listing serves as perhaps the most concrete confirmation yet. Let’s delve into the details provided on the website once more.
Powering the device is the Exynos 1480 SoC, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. However, previous speculations hinted at the possibility of a variant with up to 12GB of RAM. Storage expansion is facilitated by a microSD card slot, supporting cards with capacities of up to 1TB.
In terms of display, the Galaxy A55 boasts a slightly larger screen compared to its predecessor, the A54, measuring at 6.6 inches diagonally. As expected, the device utilizes an OLED panel with a centrally positioned punch-hole housing the selfie camera.
The camera configuration on the rear remains unchanged from the Galaxy A54, comprising a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 5MP macro sensor. Meanwhile, the front-facing camera is a 32MP shooter, ensuring crisp and detailed selfies.
Maintaining continuity with its predecessor, the Galaxy A55 retains a robust 5,000mAh battery capacity, promising ample endurance. Notably, the device will debut with Android 14 straight out of the box, offering users the latest software experience from Samsung.
With the leak effectively revealing most of the device’s specifications, there appears to be little left to unveil during the scheduled Samsung event, except for pricing details. It is anticipated that such information will be disclosed in due course, offering consumers a complete picture of what to expect from the Galaxy A55.

The incessant leaks surrounding the Samsung Galaxy A55 continue unabated, offering enthusiasts an ever-deepening insight into the upcoming device. Despite the wealth of information already available, including support pages, promotional renders, case designs, and reparability scores, the latest revelation comes in the form of the first live images of the device.
Disappointingly for those anticipating a radical design overhaul, the Galaxy A55 maintains the familiar Samsung aesthetic, featuring three distinct circular camera islands. However, a closer examination unveils a notable development that may not be immediately evident at first glance. The Galaxy A55 is poised to mark a significant milestone as the first in the A5x series to showcase a metal frame, evident in the characteristic antenna lines.
This design refinement is set to elevate the A55’s aesthetic, bestowing upon it the appearance of a high-end smartphone. Anticipated features of the handset include a triple rear camera system, comprising 50 MP + 12 MP + 5 MP lenses, accompanied by a robust 32 MP selfie snapper. The device will boast a flat frame, incorporating the innovative “key island” that debuted in the A15 and A25 models, elevating the power and volume buttons for enhanced usability. Storage options range from 128GB to a generous 256GB, complemented by a substantial RAM capacity of up to 12GB.
Driving the Galaxy A55 is Samsung’s Exynos 1480 SoC, equipped with AMD graphics for an optimized performance experience. With an expected official unveiling in the coming weeks, the Galaxy A55 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, which made its debut announcement in mid-March of the previous year. As anticipation builds, Samsung enthusiasts eagerly await the confirmation of these specifications and the chance to explore the latest addition to the A5x lineup.

The design of the Galaxy A55 doesn’t bring many surprises, as Samsung phones typically adhere to a consistent look. However, a notable feature introduced with the A15 and A25, known as the Key Island design—a raised area housing the phone’s side keys (volume and power)—is present in the A55.
This characteristic was initially revealed in renders and is now confirmed in live photos posted by TENAA. Identified by the model number SM-A5560, the Galaxy A55 has a related model, SM-C5560, possibly designated as the Galaxy C55 or Y55.
The A55 underwent Geekbench testing, featuring the upcoming Exynos 1480 chipset, which may or may not incorporate AMD graphics. According to rumors, the phone is expected to offer an 8/256GB configuration along with a microSD slot.
Regarding the Galaxy C55, additional details have surfaced, courtesy of TENAA. It is expected to feature a 6.67” OLED display with FHD+ resolution, a 13MP selfie camera, a triple rear camera setup consisting of 50+8+2MP lenses, and a substantial 5,000mAh battery. While the specific differences between the C55 and A55 are yet to be clarified, it’s worth noting that the Galaxy A54, for example, has a smaller 6.4” display and a 12MP ultra-wide camera instead of 8MP.
The relationship between the C55 and the recently revealed Galaxy A35 remains uncertain. Samsung has not officially announced a release date for the Galaxy A55, A35, C55, and other mid-range offerings, including those in the M-series lineup.
