Samsung has launched its new Galaxy F55 in India. This launch brings trendy vegan leather back to Samsung smartphones for the first time.
Let's take a closer look at what's inside the box and explore the F55's features.
Samsung sent us the F55 in a special briefcase-type box, which echoed the phone’s orange colour and has a slick vegan leather coating as well. They were also cool enough to attach a custom ‘Editorji’ tag to this box.
However, this was a part of the media unboxing experience, and consumers will not get it.
As for the actual retail package, the phone comes in a standard-sized box that includes the Galaxy F55 itself, a USB-C to C cable, a SIM ejector tool, and some essential paperwork. It's important to note that a charging adapter is not included.
Samsung Galaxy F55 design
It has the signature Samsung Galaxy design, but the soft-touch vegan leather back, along with those faux stitching strips, add a dash of personality to it. The frame of the device, however, is constructed out of plastic.
The orange colour of our review unit is quite striking, and it comes with light gold treatment on the frame and camera rings to make it stand out.
Samsung has put a 6.7-inch AMOLED display on the F55. It has a resolution of FHD+, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a max brightness of 1000 nits in high brightness mode.
Powering the Galaxy F55 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, which comes with up to 12GB of RAM for a smooth everyday experience.
The phone also offers up to 256GB of internal storage. Interestingly, there’s also an option to expand storage through a micro SD card.
When it comes to optics, the Galaxy F55 has a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary unit, an 8MP ultrawide unit, and a 2MP macro lens. The main sensor has OIS, and can record videos at 4k/30fps.
At the front, a high-resolution 50MP sensor takes care of selfies. This sensor can also shoot video at up to 4k/30fps.
Keeping everything powered up on this smartphone is a standard 5,000mAh battery that supports up to 45W fast charging.
As a reminder, you will need to purchase the charging adapter separately.
Priced starting at ₹26,999, the Samsung Galaxy F55 competes in the super competitive midrange segment that’s full of feature-packed rivals.
