It features several changes, including a larger display, a different chipset, and faster charging, setting it apart from the recently introduced Galaxy A55 and its sibling, the Galaxy A35.
The Galaxy M55 boasts a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display with FHD+ resolution. It supports a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and offers up to 1,000 nits peak brightness.

Moving on to the chipset, the Galaxy M55 opts for a different processor than its predecessor and other siblings like the Galaxy A55. Samsung has chosen to switch from the in-house Exynos chipset and instead incorporates the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 in the Galaxy M55. The phone is equipped with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, with the option to expand storage up to 1TB via a microSD card.
Like the Galaxy A55, the new mid-ranger also supports Samsung Knox Vault, a system designed to safeguard sensitive data like PINs, passwords, and patterns. This system stores such data in separate tamper-resistant storage to shield against software and hardware threats, including voltage faults, high temperatures, and more.

The Galaxy M55 is equipped with a sizable 5,000mAh battery, a slight downgrade from its predecessor’s 6,000mAh battery. However, Samsung has stepped up the game in terms of charging speed this time around. The Galaxy M55 supports 45W fast charging, with Samsung claiming it can provide a 70% charge in just 30 minutes.
