Samsung is reportedly planning to give its Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 smartphones a premium makeover next year. According to tipster Revegnus, both models will feature metal frames, replacing the plastic ones used in previous versions. This is a significant upgrade as none of the previous models in this lineup have ever featured a metallic frame.
The Galaxy A35 is not only getting a metal frame upgrade but also a design refresh. Leaked renders of the phone, shared by tipster Onleaks, reveal a phone with a design similar to its predecessor, but with a few notable changes. One of the key changes is the center-aligned punch-hole cutout on the front, replacing the previous U-notch design. The rear of the phone showcases a vertically stacked triple-camera setup along with an LED flash. The phone is expected to have dimensions of 161.6 x 77.9 x 8.2 mm.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy A55 is rumored to receive internal upgrades. The phone has reportedly been spotted in testing with the unannounced Exynos 1480 chip. Rumors suggest that this chip will be supported by an AMD graphics unit, potentially offering enhanced performance.
Samsung is expected to launch its flagship Galaxy S24 lineup in January 2024, with the Galaxy A35 and A55 following soon after. As we wait for more information, it will be interesting to see if additional leaks and rumors surface regarding these upcoming smartphones.
