Following the release of the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung’s attention now shifts to its upcoming mid-range smartphone, the Galaxy A55. Last year’s Galaxy A54 was unveiled in March, so if Samsung sticks to a similar timeline, the A55 could be officially announced in less than two months. In recent weeks, there has been a steady stream of information about the Galaxy A55, including specifications revealed through various certifications and benchmarks. The latest confirmation comes from the FCC, which has certified the Galaxy A55 and revealed key details about the phone. The FCC certification has confirmed that the Galaxy A55 will support 25W charging and is expected to feature the same 5,000 mAh battery as its predecessors, the A53 and A54. Additionally, the FCC certification has unveiled other features such as dual SIM support, NFC, and compatibility with Wi-Fi 6.
We already saw Wi-Fi 6 on the Galaxy A54, and there won’t be Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 upgrades this year. Notably, the absence of Wi-Fi 7 was not a major concern for Samsung’s mid-range phones, especially considering that Wi-Fi 6E is limited on the Galaxy S24 and S24+ due to the Exynos 2400 not supporting Wi-Fi 7. The Galaxy A55 will be equipped with the Exynos 1480, which will be Samsung’s first mid-range device to feature a GPU based on AMD’s RDNA graphics architecture. Following the mixed reception of the Exynos 2200, Samsung’s first chip with an AMD GPU, it remains to be seen how the Exynos 1480 will perform. The Galaxy A55 is anticipated to launch with Android 14 and One UI 6.1 out of the box, and it may also inherit some of the AI capabilities from the Galaxy S24 when available.
