Features & Specifications

Design

The Samsung Galaxy M55 5G adopts a modern design with a slim profile of just 7.8mm. This makes it comfortable to hold in one hand for extended periods. The back panel is crafted from plastic, keeping the weight down but sacrificing a premium feel compared to glass-backed competitors. On the other hand, the plastic offers a good grip, preventing accidental slips. A glossy finish with a gradient color scheme adds a touch of flair. The rear camera module houses a triple-lens system and an LED flash. Overall, the design is sleek and functional, catering to a younger audience.

Durability

The Samsung Galaxy M55 5G lacks an official IP rating for water and dust resistance. This is a point of concern, as some competitors in this price range offer protection against the elements. While the plastic back is less prone to shattering than glass, it’s still susceptible to scratches. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, offering some level of scratch resistance. For everyday use, the phone should hold up well. However, considering the missing IP rating, investing in a protective case is highly recommended.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy M55 5G features a triple-camera system on the back: a 50MP main sensor, a 5MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. In good lighting conditions, the main sensor captures decent photos with acceptable detail and color reproduction. Samsung’s image processing software helps to optimize photos, but details can appear soft when zoomed in. Low-light performance is a weak spot, with photos appearing grainy and lacking detail. The 5MP ultrawide sensor captures decent landscape shots, but the resolution is limiting for larger prints. The 2MP depth sensor assists with portrait mode shots, offering a blurred background effect. The 8MP front-facing camera is sufficient for basic selfies and video calls.

Display

The Samsung Galaxy M55 5G boasts a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display with FHD+ resolution. Super AMOLED technology translates to vivid colors, deep blacks, and excellent viewing angles. The key highlight is the 120Hz refresh rate, offering smoother scrolling and animations compared to traditional 60Hz displays. This is especially noticeable in games and fast-paced content. The display gets bright enough for outdoor use, even under direct sunlight.

Performance

The Samsung Galaxy M55 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset, a mid-range processor known for its balance between performance and power efficiency. Combined with 6GB of RAM, the phone delivers smooth performance for everyday tasks like browsing the web, social media usage, and streaming videos. While it might not be the most powerful phone on the market, it can handle most popular games at medium graphics settings without significant lag. For more demanding games, lowering the graphics settings or opting for lighter titles might be necessary. The phone offers 128GB of expandable storage, allowing you to store a decent collection of apps and games.

Battery

The Samsung Galaxy M55 5G packs a hefty 5000mAh battery, offering excellent battery life. On a single charge, you can expect to get a full day of moderate to heavy use, including browsing, social media, and some gaming. For lighter users, the phone can easily last a day and a half or even two on a single charge. The phone supports 25W fast charging, which can provide hours of use in just a short amount of charging time.
