The launch of the Samsung Galaxy F55 has been rescheduled from May 17 to May 27. Despite this delay, Samsung has maintained a veil of mystery over the exact pricing of the new model, only disclosing that it would fall between INR 20,000 ($240/€220) and INR 29,999 ($360/€330) in India.
However, fresh rumors have surfaced, suggesting that the Galaxy F55’s base model, featuring 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, will be priced at INR 26,999 ($325/€300).
The rumor mill further indicates that the 8GB RAM with 256GB storage variant will cost INR 29,999 ($360/€330), while the top-tier model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will be available for INR 32,999 ($400/€365).
In an interesting twist, images and specifications posted by Samsung India on its official website reveal that the Galaxy F55 is essentially a rebranded version of the Galaxy C55. This rebranding aligns it closely with the Galaxy M55, which is already available in the Indian market.
The Galaxy M55 offers similar memory configurations: 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/256GB, with identical pricing to the rumored costs of the Galaxy F55.
This strategic rebranding appears to be Samsung’s attempt to capture a broader segment of the market by offering a familiar yet refreshed product under a new name. The Galaxy F55, with its competitive pricing and robust specifications, is poised to attract tech-savvy consumers looking for high performance and ample storage options.
As the official launch date of May 27 approaches, consumers and tech enthusiasts alike are keenly awaiting Samsung’s confirmation of these rumors and the opportunity to get their hands on the latest addition to the Galaxy lineup.
The Galaxy F55 is expected to bolster Samsung’s presence in the mid-range smartphone market, continuing the company’s legacy of delivering high-quality devices at competitive prices.
