The Samsung Galaxy M55 is on the stage now, as the brand has finally debuted and made it available for pre-order in Brazil.
Ahead of the launch, leaks and rumors revealed more about this brand-new Galaxy M55 smartphone since Samsung finally introduced it, so there’s no chance for expectations regarding specs and features.
The brand-new budget-friendly smartphone is named the Galaxy M55, which is the modified version of the mid-range Galaxy A55 smartphone. Let’s take a closer look at the new features the device has brought.
Samsung Galaxy M55 Key Specs:
The latest affordable Galaxy M55 features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display along with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, support for Full HD+ resolution, and a peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits in HBM (High Brightness Mode), although HDR brightness could be even higher. It also offers an in-display fingerprint reader.
To enhance the audio experience, it features stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. The brand has powered it by the relatively powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset and runs Android 14-based One UI 6.0 out of the box. It is eligible to get four years of major Android OS updates and five years of security patches. It features the Samsung Knox Vault with EAL5+ certification.
Moving to the camera arrangement of the device, which includes a 50 MP selfie camera with this high resolution, it is the very first smartphone in the Galaxy family to get this much higher resolution. Jumping on the back camera setup that includes a 50MP primary with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro. It is capable of recording 4K 30fps videos with VDIS (Electronic Image Stabilization for Videos) and dual video recording using its front as well as primary rear cameras.

Samsung has priced its latest Galaxy M55 at BRL 2,699.10 ($542) in Brazil. It is now available on the official website of the company. The giants offer two choices: dark blue and light green. It is expected that in India as well as the rest of the world, the brand could make it available within the next few days.
Samsung is busily setting up to expand the Galaxy foldable series by debuting a sixth-generation foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which is expected to arrive with a wider outer display with sharper corners.
Fans are awaiting the forthcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 foldable phones, and leaks and rumors are increasing their curiosity among them. Now, recent leaks have revealed that this time Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6’s wider outer display could ditch rounded corners.
Usually, the Galaxy Z Fold series follows the same basic design language of a super narrow and tall outer display that unfolds into a large, almost square inner display. The size ratio has changed slightly over time, but the fact is that it’s thinner as compared to the rest of the foldables on the market.
Finally, it appears that Samsung could come up with a new design idea for the forthcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6.
A reliable tipster on X is reporting that the external screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is 60.2mm, whereas its predecessor series, the Galaxy Z Fold 5,’s external display is 57.4mm. If this report comes, then you will get a wider external screen, which will surely enhance the experience, but not too wide.
The corners of the display also seem to be markedly sharper. This time, they are not rounded, as was the design in previous generations. Samsung is expected to debut the sixth-generation foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, and maybe the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE, at the Galaxy Unpacked event, which is supposed to be held on July 10th in Paris.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series is next in line to expand the flagship S series, is supposed to be scheduled for early 2025, and is expected to be powered by the in-house Exynos in the Galaxy S25 Ultra model as well.
Samsung usually announces its latest S series smartphone early in the first quarter of the year; for instance, the Galaxy S24 debuted in January this year and the Galaxy S23 debuted in February 2023. According to these schedules, the Galaxy S25 is expected to debut sometime between January and February.
Now the reports are unveiling that this time Samsung could ditch the Snapdragon chipset for its in-house Exynos 2500 to power the Galaxy S25 Ultra model. This is being reported by a tipster on X by sharing a post. He mentioned that internally at Samsung, it’s determined that the Exynos 2500 does not hang back behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in all prospects, such as quality.
Meanwhile, it’s not clear yet whether this is because the Nuvia cores of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are not good, making the Exynos 2500 relatively better, or if the Exynos 2500 itself is better.
From the two-generation Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24, Samsung relies on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset for the Ultra variant, but now it appears that Samsung could use the Exynos 2500 chipset for the forthcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone. However, Samsung has not officially unveiled anything regarding this report yet.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is one of the most successful devices of the year, whether in terms of its pre-booking or in terms of its unit sales. The device has performed better than its predecessor. The reason behind it lies not only in the hardware perspective but also in the software, which has brought the new Galaxy AI features to new hype among consumers.
According to counterpoint research, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is listed among the top ten best smartphones, where it is the best Android device. Going into details, the Galaxy S24 ranks in fifth place immediately after Apple’s latest smartphones. The iPhone 15 Pro Max ranked first with 4.4% market share, the iPhone 15 ranked second with 4.3% market share, the iPhone Pro ranked third with 3.7% market share, and the iPhone 14 ranked fourth with 1.9% share of sales. Then, in the fifth position, the Galaxy S24 Ultra comes in with 1.9% of sales.
At first sight, it looks like Apple is significantly ahead of Samsung in terms of sales, but if you go in detail, Samsung not only provides smartphones in the high-end category but also makes several smartphones according to their affordability for a larger consumer base. Let’s explore the data about some non- flagship devices as well.
Non-flagship devices also secure a position in the top 10
Apart from the Galaxy S24 ultra device, there are other affordable devices from Samsung that also top the top ten list of sales. The Galaxy A15 5G secures the 6th position, the Galaxy A54 is in the 7th position, and the Galaxy A34 appears in the 10th position. The list ultimately depicts the dominance of Samsung and the iPhone in the global smartphone markets. However, Samsung has scope to capture the market for Android devices.
