Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy M55s 5G as the latest addition to its smartphone lineup in the Indian market. This new model features a striking new design but retains the same specifications as the existing Galaxy M55. Essentially, it’s a fresh coat of paint on a familiar device, geared to attract those with an eye for aesthetic appeal.
The standout feature of the Galaxy M55s is its unique triple-patterned finish on the back, which differentiates it from its predecessors — the smooth-backed Galaxy M55 and the faux leather finishes on the Galaxy C55 and M55. Available in Thunder Black and Coral Green, the new look adds a splash of style, although it may be hidden under a protective case.
When it comes to hardware, the Galaxy M55s offers the same solid performance as the earlier models. It boasts a 6.7-inch FHD+ sAMOLED display with a rapid 120Hz refresh rate. The front camera is a 50MP punch-hole shooter, and the rear houses a versatile triple-camera setup: a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro shooter. For video enthusiasts, the phone supports simultaneous recording from both the front and back cameras.
Under the hood, the Galaxy M55s is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, complemented by 8GB of RAM and options for either 128GB or 256GB of expandable storage. Adding to its list of impressive features is a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging capabilities, promising up to two days of use on a single charge based on usage patterns.
Additional features include an in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, Bluetooth 5.2, and Wi-Fi 6. However, it lacks an audio jack, which could be a downside for some users. The Galaxy M55s is set for sale on Amazon starting September 26. Pricing is competitive, with the 128GB model available for INR 19,999 (~$239/€214) and the 256GB variant priced at INR 22,999 (~$275/€247).
In essence, the Galaxy M55s is a savvy rebranding of an already solid phone, offering a fresh look without compromising on specifications. Whether you’re a style-conscious user or just in the market for a feature-rich smartphone, the Galaxy M55s presents an attractive option.
