Samsung has done something interesting after a long time. It has launched a mid-range smartphone with a leather back. The Galaxy C55 is a variant of the Galaxy M55 that was launched in Brazil and India a few weeks ago, but it has its own character in terms of look and feel.
Galaxy C55 launched in China
The Galaxy C55 has been quietly introduced in China, but its pricing hasn't been revealed yet. It has a stitched leather back design and is sold in Colorful Orange and Fashion Back colors. It has thin bezels and a slim form factor. This is a good phone for someone who wants a unique-looking phone and has Samsung's feature-packed One UI software.
The rest of the phone's hardware specifications remain similar to those of the Galaxy M55. It has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ screen with Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 1,000 nits of peak brightness, HDR10+, and Vision Booster. It also has an under-display optical fingerprint reader, stereo speakers, and Dolby Atmos audio support.
It has a 50MP selfie camera on the front. In its rear-facing triple camera setup, you will find a 50MP primary camera with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro camera. Both 50MP cameras on the phone can record 4K 30fps videos with electronic stabilization. With dual-recording, users can simultaneously record Full HD 1080p videos using front and rear cameras.
It is equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, 8GB/12GB RAM, 128GB/256GB internal storage, and a microSD card slot. It has GPS, 5G, a dual-SIM card slot, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and a USB Type-C port. It runs Android 14 and will get four major Android OS updates and five years of security updates.
The phone is powered by a 5,000mAh battery and supports 45W fast charging (USB PD PPS). If you want a slightly higher-end phone, consider the Galaxy A55 or the Galaxy S23 FE. You can find our Galaxy S23 FE review in the video below.
