Samsung was recently spotted developing a successor to the Galaxy A54, which is expected to hit the market as the Samsung Galaxy A55. It is known that some details about the upcoming device have appeared online in the past few weeks.
Today, the Galaxy A55 was just discovered on the performance measurement website Geekbench with a few key specifications.
The most interesting feature of the Samsung Galaxy A55 is the new Exynos chipset. The Exynos 1480 will be Samsung's first mid-range chip equipped with an AMD GPU and it is currently confirmed by performance measurement website Geekbench to power the upcoming Galaxy A54 successor.
The Exynos 1480 is equipped with the Xclipse 530 GPU based on the AMD RDNA2 graphics architecture just like the Exynos 2200. It will not be as advanced as the RDNA3-based AMD GPU in the Exynos 2400 for the Galaxy S24 series. This SoC will bring improvements notable in terms of graphics performance compared to the Exynos 1380.
In terms of CPU performance, the benchmark scores for the Exynos 1480 aren't too impressive and suggest a not-so-huge increase over the Exynos 1380. The Geekbench listing of the Samsung Galaxy A55 also confirms the phone has 8GB of RAM. We can also expect this phone to be available in 4GB and 6GB RAM versions at launch. Regarding software, the device will run on the Android operating system with the OneUI 6.1 user interface at launch.
Unfortunately, we still have no information about the launch date of the Galaxy A55.
