Samsung Galaxy A55 5G hands-on images leaked online ahead of launch, suggesting metal frame

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G is expected to debut in India and other global markets next week. Ahead of the launch, a new leak has surfaced online sharing hands-on images of the smartphone, suggesting its design and one of the color options. Earlier reports claimed that the Samsung Galaxy A54 successor could be powered by an Exynos 1480 chipset along with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. It is also rumored to have a triple rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor.

The leaked images were shared by tipster @theonecid on X (formerly known as Twitter) via post. The images confirm previously leaked renders and rumors of design changes. The yellow color can be seen on the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G along with the flat sides which appear to have a matte finish. This is probably because the smartphone is rumored to get a metal frame, marking an upgrade from its predecessor that came with plastic sides.

Other highlights include the South Korean tech giant’s new key island design element, which adds a raised edge around the right side of the handset where the power and volume buttons are located. The rear panel shows a triple rear camera setup similar to the Galaxy S24 series.

A report claims that the smartphone, along with the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G, could be launched in India on March 11 at 2:30 PM. A teaser of the upcoming launch was spotted on the Samsung Shop app, which did not reveal the names of the phones but shared some details , which match the leaked details.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G is said to feature a 6.6-inch full-HD+ (1080×2340 pixels) AMOLED display as per a recent report. Under the hood, it is said to be equipped with an Exynos 1480 SoC coupled with 6GB and 8GB RAM variants and 128GB and 256GB inbuilt storage options. For optics, there is likely to be a triple rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS). The details of the other two cameras are not known. On the front, it may carry a 32-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.
