Samsung Galaxy F55 5G recently debuted in India with many exciting upgrades (that I’ll reveal later). If you’re considering buying this smartphone, make sure you know these 5 things to make a better purchase decision.
1. Standout Design
The Samsung Galaxy F55 5G with a vegan leather panel on the back appears slightly different in the crowded smartphone space filled with glass and metal panels. This adds a premium feel to the device, which is rarely seen among mid-range phones.
Because of the vegan leather finish, it offers a comfortable, grippy surface, making your phone less likely to slip out of your hands. Another plus point is that devices with vegan leather panels are more resistant to scratches and fingerprints than regular glass panels.
2. Impressive Software Support
Samsung is one of the best brands that offer extended software support to its smartphones. While many brands struggle to give 3 OS updates to their high-end devices, Samsung promises an impressive 4 OS updates to their mid-range phones, including the Galaxy F55 5G.
The Galaxy F55 5G ships with Android 14 out of the box with the One UI 6.1 custom skin at the top. So, it will get OS updates until Android 18.
Samsung’s software support is unmatched to most Android brands. It had the best software policy for Galaxy devices until Google announced 7 OS upgrades to the Pixel 8 series last year. However, that’s been matched by the Galaxy S24 series launched earlier this year.
3. Smooth AMOLED Display
The newest Galaxy F-series phone features an AMOLED display, you’d usually see in most mid-range phones. It’s a 6.7-inch screen with 1080 x 2400 pixels Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate support for extra smoothness.
There’s a small punch-hole-style selfie camera. The display is flat with slim bezels all around for better content consumption. And the 1000 peak nits brightness should offer excellent visibility outdoors.
4. Performance-Friendly Device With Plenty of Storage
The performance of Galaxy F55 5G is ensured by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor. It’s a popular octa-core chip among mid-range phones that smoothly handles day-to-day tasks, as well as casual gaming.
The Snapdragon chip is built using Samsung’s 4nm process. It consists of one Cortex-A710 core clocked at 2.4 GHz, three Cortex-A710 cores clocked at 2.36 GHz, and the remaining four are Cortex-A510 with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz.
Samsung Galaxy F55 5G is offered in three storage options: 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB. If the built-in storage isn’t sufficient, the microSD card slot can be used for up to 1TB of additional storage.
5. Fast Charging Support
Samsung Galaxy F55 5G is the first F-series phone to support 45W fast charging. Only a few Galaxy devices support 45W charging, and the F55 is one of them. However, it doesn’t support wireless or reverse wireless charging.
The device ships with a 5,000 mAh battery that should last for a day, at least.
