Design

Meet the Galaxy A55 5G. The simple yet improved Galaxy A series comes in an iconic design featuring a linear camera layout in a metal flat frame design for an easy and intuitive grip. Plus, it’s built with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+* making it tougher and more damage resistant.

The Galaxy A55 looks almost identical to the A54, but some subtle changes have made it feel like a different phone in hand. The front glass is now Gorilla Glass Victus+. The handset is still IP67-certified against water and dust. The back uses a more regular Gorilla Glass. With the flat aluminum side frame and the slightly larger camera lenses on the back, the device feels a lot like the Galaxy S24.

Platform

The Samsung Galaxy A55 runs on the latest Android 14 out of the box with Samsung’s own One UI 6.1.

Last year’s Galaxy A54 was powered by the Exynos 1390 chip, and now the A55 gets a newer, more powerful Exynos 1480 chipset based on the 4nm manufacturing process.

The new Exynos 1480 features the same 4x Cortex-A78 and 4x Cortex-A55 combo, but the main four cores are clocked higher this time around. The cluster of four Cortex-A78 cores ticks at 2.7 GHz, while the Cortex-A55 cluster remains at 2.0 GHz. The Mali-G88 MP5 GPU, however, has been replaced by the Xclipse 530 GPU

OS: Android 14, One UI 6.1
Chipset: Exynos 1480 (4 nm)
CPU: Octa-core (4×2.75 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55)
GPU: Xclipse 530

Battery and Storage

The Galaxy A55 uses the same 5,000 mAh battery as its predecessors, but it’s running a new Exynos 1480 chipset, which promises improved efficiency.

The charging speed has stayed the same as the Galaxy A55 still relies on the 25-watt Power Delivery protocol, which isn’t very competitive in its price bracket. It takes about 1 hour and 3 minutes to complete a full charging cycle, while a 30-minute charge would only bring the battery to 55%.

Type: Li-Ion 5000 mAh, non-removable
Charging: 25W wired

Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy A55

The Galaxy A55 comes in a modest retail box with only some user manuals, a SIM tool and a USB-C to USB-C cable for charging and data transfer. There’s no charger included.
