Samsung finally announced the India launch date and price range of the Galaxy F55 5G on Thursday (May 9). The South Korean smartphone brand has been teasing the new phone for a while now. It will be available for purchase via Flipkart in two color options. The Galaxy F55 5G is believed to be a rebranded Galaxy C55, which was unveiled in China last month. It is expected to be powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC and could pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for 45W fast wired charging.
The Samsung Galaxy F55 5G is scheduled to go official in India on May 17 at 12:00 PM IST. It is confirmed to be priced below Rs. 30,000 in the country. The phone will go on sale through Flipkart, Samsung.com and select retail stores.
Flipkart has created a dedicated landing page on its website to showcase the arrival of the new Galaxy F series smartphone. It is confirmed to be available in Apricot Crush and Raisin Black colors with a vegan leather finish.
A recent leak revealed that the Galaxy F55 will be priced at Rs. 26,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage version. The 8GB RAM + 256GB storage model is said to be priced at Rs. 29,999, while the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant will cost Rs. 32,999.
As mentioned, the Galaxy F55 5G could debut as a rebranded version of the Galaxy C55. The latter was launched in China in April with a starting price of CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 23,000).
The Galaxy F55 5G could have similar specs to the Galaxy C55 if the former is indeed a rebranded model. The Galaxy C55 features a 6.7-inch Full HD+ (1080 x 2400 pixels) Super AMOLED Plus display with a 120Hz refresh rate and is powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. It has a triple rear camera unit, led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel selfie shooter, and packs a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast cable charging.
