   Samsung Galaxy C55 5G listed on Google Play Console with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC

"Samsung is preparing to bring back the Galaxy C lineup, nearly 7 years after the last member was launched. A listing on Google Play Console reveals that a phone with the name Galaxy C55 is on its way. The model number is m55xqeea, meaning it could very well be Galaxy M55 (also rumoured to sell as Galaxy F55) designated for different markets or sales channels. Following are the some important points:-

Samsung might be readying Galaxy C55.

Galaxy C55 5G appeared on the listing with the model number m55xq.

Samsung Galaxy C55 5G could be a rebrand of the Galaxy F55 and Galaxy M55.

It could run on Android 14.

Samsung Galaxy C55 5G could launch soon as a new entrant in the company's Galaxy C-series. Samsung is yet to confirm the arrival of a new Galaxy C-series phone, but ahead of it, the phone has been reportedly spotted on the Google Play Console. The Galaxy C55 5G is said to have appeared on the listing with the model number m55xq and an official-looking image. Based on the listing, it could run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. The Galaxy C55 5G could come as a rebrand of the Galaxy F55 and Galaxy M55. The phone matches the key specs of the Galaxy M55/F55 – Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, up to 8 GB RAM and Android 14 out of the box. The phone is pictured with three cameras, and if the C55 is the same as the rumoured M55, the shooters could be 50 MP main, 8 MP ultra wide and 2 MP portrait lens.

The Google Play Console listing reportedly shows a full-HD+ display with 1,080×2,400 pixel resolution and 450ppi pixel density on the Galaxy C55 5G. The listing, as per the report, suggests 8GB RAM and Android 14 operating system on the upcoming handset. It is said to be listed with a Qualcomm chipset codenamed SM7450, coupled with Adreno 644 GPU. This codename is associated with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. 

The listing also includes an alleged image of Galaxy C55 5G. The handset is said to have a centrally located hole-punch design on the display and triple cameras on the back. The model number m55xq and render indicate that this upcoming handset could be the rebranded version of the unannounced Galaxy F55 and Galaxy M55. The former could be powered by an Exynos 1480 SoC, while the latter may get the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC under the hood.

The listing does not provide information about an eventual Galaxy C55 launch, but we expect it to be soon since the phone has its final software approved for Google Play Console. Like previous Galaxy C-series phones, the Galaxy C55 5G is anticipated to be exclusively available in the Chinese market. However, Samsung is yet to reveal plans to revive the Galaxy C lineup for all users.
