Better than A-series — Inexpensive Samsung Galaxy C55 receives a 120 Hz screen and Snapdragon

Without any fanfare, Samsung has released the new Galaxy C55 smartphone in China. Budget devices are typically released within the C-series, but this time we have a very interesting device that can outshine models from the older A-series.

The Samsung Galaxy C55 stands out for its design with a back cover stylized in leather. The manufacturer does not specify the material, so it could be artificial leather or plastic, similar to the old Galaxy Note3. However, the general appearance of the smartphone is in line with all 2024 brand models.

On the front, the new product features a 6.7-inch flat Super AMOLED+ display with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a brightness of 1000 nits. This screen also includes a built-in fingerprint scanner and a 50-megapixel selfie camera, along with three cameras on the back - a 50-megapixel main camera with f/1.8 aperture and optical stabilization, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 2-megapixel camera, all supporting 4K video recording.

The smartphone runs on a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor and comes with either 8 or 12 GB of RAM. It offers 256 GB of storage, expandable via microSD card up to 1TB. Powering the device is a 5000 mAh battery with 45 W fast charging support for excellent battery life.

Additional features of the Galaxy C55 include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support and NFC support for contactless payments.

This new product is already available in China at a price of $275 for the 8 + 256 GB version, and $319 for the 12 + 256 GB version.
