Last updated: March 21st, 2024 at 12:47 UTC+01:00 Samsung's new Galaxy A55 is now getting its first firmware update. The phone ships with the February 2024 security patch, but now, Samsung is already releasing the March update for the new mid-range hero phone. The update is rolling out in India, at the very least, and carries firmware version A556EXXS1AXC1. It weighs a little under 210MB. And judging by the firmware version, the update consists only of the newer March 2024 security patch. The changelog does mention…

The Galaxy A55 is Samsung's latest mid-range phone to promise a flagship-like experience without a flagship-like price, and in some ways, it really is the most premium mid-ranger from the Korean giant yet. From a design that includes Gorilla Glass Victus+ and a metal frame to a new Exynos chip that has a GPU based on the same AMD architecture as Samsung's high-end Exynos chips (though the A55 lacks ray tracing support) and up to 12GB of RAM, the A55 feels more of an upgrade than the A54 did compared to the A53.

Last updated: March 21st, 2024 at 17:00 UTC+01:00 For whatever reason, Samsung has been avoiding Android's seamless update feature for the past eight years now. Not anymore! The Galaxy A55 is the first Samsung phone to use Google's seamless update feature, and it will likely come to more Galaxy phones soon. Seamless updates work by installing an update to a secondary system partition instead of the primary one, and then booting from that secondary partition the next time the device is restarted. The primary and…

Last updated: March 21st, 2024 at 13:49 UTC+01:00 The number of 5G phones in Samsung India's product mix has increased significantly over the past couple of years.

Samsung's new Galaxy A55 brings several improvements over the Galaxy A54, but looking at the official spec sheets, you would think the display isn't one of them. Granted, the A55 has a slightly larger 6.6-inch panel instead of a 6.4-inch one, but that results in a lower pixel density. Otherwise, the two phones share the same Super AMOLED display type with HDR10+, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,000 nits — on paper, at least. It turns out that the Galaxy A55's display is vastly superior to the Galaxy A54's and…
