- Samsung is preparing a successor to its best-selling smartphones
- The Galaxy A55 and A35 are shown ahead of time in press images
- The main design innovation will take place on the right side
Samsung has already premiered this year’s flagship smartphones, now it’s time to unveil new mid-range phones, namely the successors to the popular Galaxy A54 and A34 models. We don’t know the premiere date at the moment, but thanks to tipster Evan Blass, we can see their press images ahead of time.
The Galaxy A55 and A35 are shown in all their glory
The Galaxy A series smartphones are very important for Samsung, as they account for the largest volumes of sales – according to the recently published ranking of the best-selling smartphones of last year, they were the only ones able to break the hegemony of the iPhones. The second best-selling Samsung in 2023 was the Galaxy A54, with 20 million units sold, so it is not surprising that it will also want to make the successor model a bestseller.
According to the published press images, Samsung will not reinvent the wheel and will use the proven design for the Galaxy A55 and A35, supplemented by one “key” innovation. As with the previously introduced Galaxy A15 and A25 models, on the sides of both upcoming smartphones we find a design element called the Key Island, which is a protruding part of the frame containing the buttons for changing the volume and unlocking the phone. The sides of both phones will be completely flat with the exception of this island, in the case of the more expensive Samsung Galaxy A55, they should be made of aluminum instead of the original plastic.
On the back of the Galaxy A55 and A35, we can find the classic trio of protruding lenses arranged under each other in a “traffic light”, while the front side will be filled with a flat display with a circular cut-out at the top in the middle. The frames surrounding the display will be quite wide for today’s time, but you can turn a blind eye to that in the middle class.
The upcoming phones will go on store shelves in at least four colors – white, black, pink and yellow. The press image also shows that we will not lose water resistance and Samsung Knox premium security. The Samsung Galaxy A55 should be powered by the Exynos 1480 chipset, while the Galaxy A35 is powered by the weaker Exynos 1380, which we know from last year’s Galaxy A54. It was introduced last year in mid-March, so it is possible that this year’s Galaxy A55 and A35 models are targeting a similar date.
