The Galaxy S24 series could attract all the attention in the coming weeks. However, Samsung is also researching other products, such as the Galaxy A55.
This could be the most expensive phone model in the Galaxy A series in 2024. The product will have a few upgrades, including a more premium design with a metal frame that we can admire through renderings just leaked.
Like the recently launched Galaxy A15 and Galaxy A25, the Galaxy A55 has a Key Island raised bezel design with a slightly raised chassis around the side keys and volume keys. The metal frame will make the product feel significantly more premium than its predecessor. In turn, this can cause prices to rise.
Another factor that could contribute to the Galaxy A55 price increase is the Exynos 1480 - Samsung's first mid-range processor with a GPU based on AMD's RDNA2 microarchitecture. Information about other technical specifications of the product is still scarce. Personally, we don't think there will be too many changes in terms of hardware.
In terms of software, the Galaxy A55 will run One UI 6.1 based on Android 14. It is still unclear whether the new AI features on the Galaxy S24 series will be available on the Galaxy A55 or not. Besides, we still do not know when the product will be released. Due to the increasing frequency of leaked information, it is possible that Samsung will launch the Galaxy A55 in March like its predecessor.
