Samsung Galaxy C55 5G

The Samsung Galaxy C55 5G has a conventional, non-folding form factor with dimensions of 163.9 x 76.5 x 7.8 mm and a weight of 180 g, giving it a relatively slim profile for its size. It has a total volume of 97.79913 cm³ and does not feature a rugged build, nor does it carry any water resistance rating.

The Samsung Galaxy C55 5G features a 6.7″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 px and a pixel density of 393 ppi, producing a reasonably sharp image across its large panel. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and interaction, and includes an Always-On Display mode that keeps basic information visible without fully waking the screen. The display does not carry branded damage-resistant glass and lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, while there is no secondary screen present on the device.

The Samsung Galaxy C55 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, built on a 4 nm semiconductor process and configured with an 8-thread CPU arrangement using big.LITTLE technology, running at speeds of 1 x 2.4, 3 x 2.36, and 4 x 1.8 GHz. Graphics are handled by an integrated Adreno 644 GPU clocked at 600 MHz, supporting DirectX 12 and OpenGL ES 3.2. The device comes with 12GB of DDR5 RAM running at 3200 MHz — expandable up to a maximum of 16GB — alongside 256GB of internal storage, while the platform also supports 64-bit processing, multithreading, integrated LTE, and ARM TrustZone security.

The Samsung Galaxy C55 5G features a triple rear camera system with a 50MP primary sensor (f/1.8), an 8MP lens (f/2.2), and a 2MP lens (f/2.4), all backed by a CMOS sensor and optical image stabilization, though no back-illuminated sensor is present. The main camera supports phase-detection and touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during video, HDR mode, slow-motion recording, timelapse, burst mode, panoramas, and a range of manual controls including exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance — though manual shutter speed and RAW capture are not available. Video recording reaches up to 2160p at 30 fps, while optical zoom stands at 0x and the single LED flash carries no dual-tone or RGB capability. On the front, a 50MP single-lens camera sits at f/2.4 without a front-facing flash, an under-display placement, or HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording support on either camera.

The Samsung Galaxy C55 5G runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering location access, camera and microphone permissions, clipboard warnings, and app tracking restrictions, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not present. On the usability side, it supports dark mode, dynamic and manual theme customization, customizable notifications, a media picker, full-page screenshots, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, widgets, sharing intents, a child lock, and an extra dim mode, while focus modes, app offloading, Wi-Fi password sharing, and Quick Start are absent. The device also features on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, phone tracking, multi-user support, a battery health check, and the ability to play games while they download, though it does not support direct OS updates from the vendor and cannot function as a PC.

The Samsung Galaxy C55 5G is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 45W wired fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. Wireless charging is not available, but the device does feature a battery level indicator to keep track of remaining charge.

The Samsung Galaxy C55 5G includes stereo speakers but omits a 3.5 mm headphone jack, so wired audio requires an adapter or USB-C headphones. On the wireless audio side, the device does not support aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC, and there is no built-in radio tuner.

The Samsung Galaxy C55 5G supports 5G connectivity alongside Wi-Fi 4, 5, and 6 (802.11n/ac/ax), Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC, with a dual SIM configuration and a maximum download speed of 550 Mbit/s. It connects via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, includes an external memory slot for storage expansion, and features a fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not present. For navigation and sensing, the device incorporates GPS with Galileo support, a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass, though a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, ANT+, and motion or optical tracking are all absent. DLNA certification, HDMI output, satellite emergency SOS, crash detection, a built-in projector, and a stylus are likewise not part of the feature set.

The Samsung Galaxy C55 5G includes a video light to assist with recording in low-light conditions, while the display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
