Samsung Galaxy A55 5G with Exynos 1480 Launched in Nepal

Samsung launched a new smartphone in its A-series lineup, the Galaxy A55 5G, in India on March 12, 2024. The smartphone has launched in Nepal as well.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G looks identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy A54, and its recent cousin, the Samsung Galaxy A35, with some very subtle differences.

The Galaxy A55 5G looks a bit boxier due to its flatter frame. The camera cutouts are a bit bigger when compared to the A54 but retain the same footprint and design.

The display bezels are now uniform on all sides, which gives the phone a much more modern look. Having all these advanced features, the Galaxy A55 5G still reflects Samsung’s commitment to providing high-end technology at a competitive price point.

Samsung Galaxy A55 5G Overview

Design

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G shares the same design theme as its predecessor and siblings. The smartphone comes with three separate camera lenses housed on a flat back. The front of the device sports a punch-hole display for the camera and the bezel has been reduced to give the display a uniform border all around.

The side rails of the A55 5G are now made of aluminum instead of plastic, making it more durable. They are also flatter, which gives the phone a boxy look. The power and the volume buttons are placed on the right side of the device and the Type-C port sits on the bottom of the aluminum frame.

For biometrics, the phone has an under-display fingerprint sensor and the entire device is certified IP67 dust and water-resistant. The device comes in four colors: Iceblue, Lilac, Navy and Lemon.
