Samsung Galaxy C55 5G With Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC and 8GB RAM Spotted on Geekbench

Samsung Galaxy C55 5G could be heading to markets soon. While its launch date remains a mystery, a recent alleged Geekbench listing has offered a glimpse at its possible hardware details. The listing suggests a Snapdragon 7 series chipset on the upcoming Galaxy C series handset. It appears that the handset will come with 8GB of RAM and the Android 14 operating system. The Galaxy C55 5G is expected to debut as a rebranded version of the Galaxy F55 and Galaxy M55.

MySmartPrice has spotted the Samsung Galaxy C55 5G on the Geekbench benchmarking platform with model number SM-C5560. As per the listing, the phone has a chipset codenamed ‘Taro’. The chipset has a tri-cluster architecture with a prime CPU core clocked at 2.40GHz, three cores capped at 2.36GHz, and four cores with 1.86GHz speed. These CPU frequencies and the codename indicate that the handset will draw power from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC.

The listing further shows 6.90GB of memory on the Galaxy C55 5G. This could translate to 8GB RAM on paper. The benchmark listing also suggests the phone running the Android 14 operating system. These details are in line with a previous report. It has scored 1,026 in single-core and 2,384 in multi-core tests.

Samsung has yet to officially announce the Galaxy C55 5G, but the Geekbench listing provides a promising look at what to expect. If the device indeed comes with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC and 8GB of RAM, it could offer robust performance for its segment. Additionally, running Android 14 out of the box would mean users can enjoy the latest features and improvements from the operating system.

Rebranding it from Galaxy F55 and Galaxy M55 to Galaxy C55 5G suggests Samsung is aiming for a broader appeal in different markets. The company’s strategy often involves releasing similar models under different names to cater to regional preferences and marketing strategies.

As the launch approaches, more details are likely to emerge, including official specifications, pricing, and availability. For now, the Geekbench listing has certainly piqued interest and set the stage for the Galaxy C55 5G as a noteworthy addition to Samsung’s mid-range lineup.

A couple of weeks back, Galaxy C55 5G surfaced on the Google Play Console with model number m55xq. The listing indicated 6.67-inch a full-HD+ display with 1,080×2,400 pixel resolution and 450ppi pixel density on the device. It could get a triple rear camera setup, led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor. It is rumoured to pack a 5,000mAh battery supporting 25W fast charging.
