Samsung Galaxy A55 5G tipped to launch as next-gen smartphone with last-gen charging - again

The Samsung SM-A556E and SM-A556E/DS are thought to launch as single- and dual-SIM versions of the same new smartphone respectively later in 2024. Now, that rumor has more weight as both model numbers are now inextricably linked to the same device in a new FCC listing.

Anyone hoping for improved charging speeds in the middle of the mid-range Galaxy A-series for a change will be disappointed in this potentially definitive new leak. Then again, a prospective A55 5G owner can now almost be assured of being able to keep right on using their trusty Samsung EP-TA800 power brick (not to mention their first-party EP-DN980 USB-C to -C cable) despite the smartphone upgrade.

Accordingly, it seems the Galaxy A54 5G successor will yet again debut as a 25W "Super Fast Charging" device in 2024. The A55 is even thought to look much like its forebear - then again, it is also tipped to be different on the inside with the newest Exynos platform available to it, at least.

Need a Galaxy A54 5G to go with the Samsung 25W power brick hanging around in a drawer? Grab one at $349.99 (or -22% off its typical listed price) on Amazon.
