So there’s no shock that yearly Samsung followers wait impatiently for the brand new model of the telephone. Samsung’s bundle provides all of it – nice cameras, wonderful screens and lengthy software program assist. And all at a way more reasonably priced value than its S-series flagship telephones.
The difficulty with a brand new telephone popping out yearly is whether or not to purchase the present mannequin or wait a bit and get the brand new one. As I write this, we’re just about in the course of that 12-month interval, which is precisely when it’s most tough to make that call.
Nonetheless rumours about Samsung’s A55 are fairly scarce at this cut-off date. Nonetheless, right here’s all the pieces we all know and a few issues we count on from the upcoming telephone.
When will the Samsung Galaxy A55 be launched?
Galaxy A-series telephones are often launched initially of the yr, on the finish of the primary quarter. It’s not too shocking, then, that we nonetheless do not need any official details about the 2024 fashions.
Nonetheless, Samsung’s timeline with the sequence has been like clockwork, and we’ve no cause to suppose that it’ll change this time round. These are the launch dates of a few of the current generations:
- Galaxy A54 – 15 March 2023
- Galaxy A53 – 17 March 2022
- Galaxy A52 – 17 March 2021
As you’ll be able to see, these launch dates are inside days of each other. So it’s protected to say that the Samsung Galaxy A55 will even be launched on schedule, round mid-March 2024.
How a lot will the Samsung Galaxy A55 value?
In fact, as the discharge day remains to be fairly far off, we will’t say for certain what the brand new telephone will value precisely, particularly contemplating the rising costs in all places for the time being. Nonetheless, trying on the earlier generations, we will a minimum of make an informed guess:
- Galaxy A54: $449/£449
- Galaxy A53: $449/£399
- Galaxy A52: $499/£399
As you’ll be able to see, the worth has been fluctuating a bit over time. Nonetheless, understanding how Samsung positions the sequence within the mid-range, we’re anticipating it to be priced beneath the $500/£500 mark.
What specs and options will Samsung Galaxy A55 have?
Once more, Samsung has not launched any particulars in regards to the Galaxy A55 but. Nonetheless, this has not stopped rumours from spreading across the web, nevertheless it must be mentioned that to date even they’re few and much between. Right here’s what we’ve seen to date.
Design
No strong details about the design of the Galaxy A55 has surfaced. Nonetheless, on this division, we’re not anticipating huge adjustments. The Galaxy A54 received fairly a design change, and plainly Samsung will most likely be sticking to the same design language for the subsequent technology of telephones as effectively. Which means that relating to Galaxy A55’s appears to be like, we’ll see minor tweaks right here and there somewhat than as an entire overhaul.
Show
As soon as once more, there are not any strong rumours in regards to the specs of Galaxy A55’s show. Realizing how good the display already is on the Galaxy A54 – with its 120Hz AMOLED glory – there’s barely something to do higher right here. So, if Samsung sticks to its weapons right here, no one needs to be upset.
Efficiency
The efficiency of the Galaxy A50-series has most likely been its most controversial factor. For 2 years, with Galaxy A52 and A53, Samsung was utilizing an Exynos 1280 chip, which was severely underpowered in comparison with the competitors (and, to prime it off, wasn’t one of the best when it got here to energy effectivity).
With Galaxy A54, the Korean producer opted for a more moderen model: Exynos 1380. It wasn’t the highest performer for its class, nevertheless it was a major enchancment over its predecessor, so it was typically obtained favourably, despite the fact that many individuals had been relying on a swap to Qualcomm chips.
It seems that Samsung is adamant about utilizing its in-house chips in mid-range telephones and it appears to be like prefer it’s planning on equipping the Galaxy A55 with the upcoming Exynos 1480. That info comes courtesy of GalaxyClub.nl, and is predicated on the most recent codename leak.
In response to the supply, Samsung is already testing a Galaxy A55 working a processor with a mannequin designation S5E8845. We suspect it’s the Exynos 1480, as earlier generations of this CPU had very comparable mannequin designations: S5E8835 for Exynos 1380 and S5E8825 for Exynos 1280.
We don’t but know what enhancements the brand new chip will deliver, nevertheless it doesn’t take a tech genius to foretell that it’ll focus each on vitality effectivity and efficiency, most likely with some enhancements to AI and machine studying as effectively. Nonetheless, we’ll have to attend to see some benchmarks to make certain.
Cameras
The identical supply from GalaxyClub.nl is claiming that Galaxy A55 won’t deliver something new to the desk relating to the cameras. Granted, the photographs from Galaxy A54 are already nice for the worth, so sticking to the bundle from the earlier mannequin may not be a foul transfer, particularly if Samsung works on them in software program.
What’s extra disappointing is the information – or lack thereof – in regards to the entrance digital camera. It seems that the Galaxy A55 will once more use the identical 32MP entrance digital camera sensor. What’s worse, it’s the identical sensor that first appeared in Galaxy A51 – virtually 4 years in the past now. A reminder, if one had been wanted, that this isn’t a flagship telephone.
Battery and charging
There’s no details about the battery and charging state of affairs of the Samsung Galaxy A55. We count on it gained’t differ a lot from the earlier mannequin, which suggests a 5000mAh battery and never very spectacular charging speeds – most likely as soon as once more round 25W.
Software program
Undoubtedly, the Galaxy A55 will run Android 14 out of the field, with Samsung’s OneUI 6. It will result in some fascinating enhancements to Samsung’s ecosystem. What’s extra, you must also count on nice software program assist, with 4 main Android updates for the Galaxy A55.
