Samsung Galaxy M55 with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Chip Coming Soon: Samsung appears to be launching a new Galaxy M55 smartphone powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile processor. This was revealed in a recent Geekbench benchmark test for a device labeled SM-M556B.
The Geekbench entry shows the Galaxy M55 with 8GB of RAM and Android 14 software. It likely runs Samsung’s One UI 6 interface on top of Android. Unfortunately the Geekbench scores are difficult to compare directly against competitors due to the outdated benchmark version used.
While raw performance gains over last year’s Exynos-powered Galaxy M54 may seem modest, the shift to a more efficient Snapdragon chip could provide noticeable improvements in battery life. We’ll have to wait for Samsung to announce full details to see exactly how the Galaxy M55 compares.
The Galaxy M series features more affordable price points compared to Samsung’s flagship S and Fold lineups. The move to a modern Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor indicates Samsung aims to step up performance in its mid-range mobile offerings this year.
