Samsung Galaxy A55 certified, Galaxy M55 in benchmark test
The Samsung Galaxy A55 has undergone initial certification in China. Accordingly, the upcoming top model in the mid-range will charge with 25 watts, as is usual with Samsung in this category. In fact, it is the fifth device in a row from the Galaxy A5x series with this charging speed since the company introduced the standard on the first mid-range models in early 2021.
The Samsung Galaxy A55 appeared in the certification with the model number SM-A5560, with the number 0 at the end meaning it is the mainland China version. It supports charging at 2.77 amps at 9 volts, which gives 25 watts. But you have to buy the right charger yourself. In addition to the cell phone, there should only be a USB-C cable and a SIM tool in the package.
This is the first official leak about the Samsung Galaxy A55. After launch, it should quickly take over the title of best-selling mid-range Samsung phone from the Galaxy A54. So far we’ve heard rumors that it could come with the as-yet-unannounced Exynos 1480 chipset, which could have four CPU cores running at 2.75GHz and four more at 2.05GHz. This would mean significantly more performance under the hood than the Exynos 1380 in the Galaxy A54.
Samsung Galaxy M55 with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 in the Geekbench test
Samsung is also preparing to launch the Galaxy M55 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset. It showed up in several Geekbench tests with the model code SM-M556B, with the strongest run seen below. In addition to 8 GB of RAM, Android 14 was also on board, presumably with Samsung’s One UI 6 interface on top.
However, the Samsung Galaxy M55 test ran with an older 4.2 version of Geekbench. Therefore, the test results of 3,575 single-core and 11,330 multi-core points are not comparable to other smartphones. But you can compare the chipsets – the Exynos 1380 in the Galaxy M54 and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 in the Honor 90 and the Xiaomi 13 Lite. The data shows that the processor’s performance is not a major improvement. However, switching to a Qualcomm chip could extend the battery life of the Galaxy M55.
However, these synthetic benchmarks are only a first indication of what to expect. Given the increasing number of leaks, it shouldn’t be long before the Samsung Galaxy M55 actually launches.
