With some impressive specs that stand out even with the S-series in the background (and some less impressive stats), the M55 has a lot of potential.
The Galaxy M55 and M15 were announced a couple of weeks ago for the Brazilian market, this week the pair launched in India. We are more interested in the M55 mid-ranger – its odd mix of specs might make it the perfect phone for you. Or does it?
The Samsung Galaxy M55 is very different from the M54 that came before it and the A55 that you might consider as an alternative. Let’s start with the pricing first. The M55 has a base price of BRL 3,000 for an 8/256GB unit, in India the base is 8/128GB for ₹27,000. Additionally, there is an 8/256GB variant for ₹30,000 and 12/256GB for ₹33,000. This model has a microSD slot for more storage, as does the A55.
Hold on, 12GB of RAM? That’s more than the Galaxy S24 flagship and S23 FE have! And get this, the M55 is the first Samsung mid-ranger with 45W fast charging, a level previously reserved for flagships. Well, some flagships, the S24 and S23 FE are capped at 25W (to be fair, they have wireless charging too).
The battery is smaller than last year at 5,000mAh (the M54 had a 6,000mAh battery), but that is still bigger than either flagship, even a bit bigger than the similarly sized S24+.
And check out that selfie camera – 50MP is the highest resolution on a Samsung since the Galaxy A80 (and that one “cheated” with a flip camera).
