The Galaxy A55 will be the next premium mid-range phone from Samsung. A lot about the upcoming phone is known already, and the leaks are likely to continue right up until the phone is unveiled.
One such leak comes from the folks over at MySmartPrice, who have published high-quality renders of the Galaxy A55 along with a 360-degree video, revealing the phone's design from every angle. And, surprise surprise, the A55 looks very similar to the Galaxy A54, at least as far as the overall design is concerned.
There are changes, though, with the biggest one coming in the form of a flat frame similar to the one the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ will have. It has been rumored that the Galaxy A55 and A35 may have a metal frame, though nothing about that is mentioned in today's leak.
At the front, the renders show smaller bezels than the Galaxy A54, but renders and press images tend to take liberties with how accurately they portray a device's bezels, so we will have to wait to see the phone in the flesh before we can know for sure whether Samsung has addressed the Galaxy A54's ugly bezels with its sequel.
Galaxy A55 coming with an AMD GPU
On the hardware side of things, the Galaxy A55 will be the first mid-range Samsung phone to feature the company's Xclipse GPUs, which are based on AMD's RDNA2 architecture. However, it remains to be seen how the Exynos 1480, the chip inside the A55, will fare in real-world testing. The Exynos 1380's implementation on the Galaxy A54 was pretty lacklustre, but hopefully Samsung has put in more effort for the Exynos 1480 and the Galaxy A55.
