Galaxy M55 is one of initial devices that’ll reappear online in 2024

A new year brings a new phone generation. While Samsung prepares to unveil the Galaxy S24 flagship lineup on January 17, the firm hasn’t stopped bringing its mid-range and cheap phones for 2024 closer to delivery. Only a few days into the new year, Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy M55 was approved by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

On January 4, the Wi-Fi Alliance certified the Galaxy M55 with dual-SIM capability, model number SM-M556B/DS. The Wi-Fi certificate, as usual, doesn’t reveal anything about the phone but moves it closer to availability.

The mid-range Galaxy M55 from Samsung could still be a few months away from hitting the market. The Galaxy S24 flagship series is likely to be released before the Galaxy M55 makes an official appearance. The Galaxy M54, which the M55 replaces, was unveiled in March 2023, and went on sale in April.

The first Samsung phone to use the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor

The Wi-Fi Alliance certificate may be lacking in specifics, but this isn’t the first time the Galaxy M55 has been shown online. The phone was detected in an online benchmark a few months back, sporting an unexpected Qualcomm chip.

So far, the Galaxy M55 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mid-range SoC. Samsung has never utilized this solution previously, thus the Galaxy M55 would be the first to adopt it. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is a 4nm microprocessor with eight CPU cores running at up to 2.4GHz with an integrated graphics processor along with an Adreno 644 GPU. Although, many of the other specifications are unknown to us that’ll reveal themselves with time.
