Samsung Galaxy F55 5G has made its debut in India, bringing several attractive upgrades. Before you make a decision to purchase, here are five essential things to consider.
- Unique Design
The Samsung Galaxy F55 5G stands out with its vegan leather back panel, a rarity among mid-range smartphones dominated by glass and metal. This design not only gives it a premium touch but also offers a comfortable grip that reduces the chance of slipping. Additionally, vegan leather is more resistant to scratches and fingerprints compared to traditional glass panels.
Exceptional Software Support
Samsung is renowned for its robust software support. Unlike many brands that struggle to provide three OS updates even for high-end devices, Samsung guarantees four OS updates for its mid-range smartphones, including the Galaxy F55 5G. This phone comes pre-installed with Android 14 and Samsung’s One UI 6.1, ensuring updates until Android 18. Samsung’s software policy was the best until Google announced seven OS upgrades for the Pixel 8 series, but the Galaxy S24 series has matched this.
Smooth AMOLED Display
The Galaxy F55 5G features an AMOLED display, typical of mid-range smartphones. It boasts a 6.7-inch screen with Full HD+ resolution (1080 x 2400 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate for enhanced smoothness. The display includes a punch-hole-style selfie camera and slim bezels for better content consumption, along with a peak brightness of 1000 nits for excellent outdoor visibility.
- Performance and Storage Options
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, the Galaxy F55 5G ensures smooth performance for everyday tasks and casual gaming. The processor includes one Cortex-A710 core at 2.4 GHz, three Cortex-A710 cores at 2.36 GHz, and four Cortex-A510 cores at 1.8 GHz, all built on Samsung’s 4nm process.
You can choose from three storage configurations: 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB. If you need more space, the device supports microSD cards for up to 1TB of additional storage.
- Fast Charging
The Galaxy F55 5G is the first in the F-series to support 45W fast charging—a feature available only on select Galaxy devices. However, it does not support wireless or reverse wireless charging. The phone’s 5,000 mAh battery should comfortably last a day.
