Leaks from the Samsung Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 point to a possible upgrade and possible shortcomings

It looks like new Samsung Galaxy A series phones could be on the horizon as a tech tipster Evan Blas shared the supposedly official renders on X (formally Twitter) of the Samsung Galaxy A55 and Samsung Galaxy A35.

Blass’ renders offer a clear view of both the front and back and four color options, including black, green, pink and white, and have attracted mixed reactions.

Both the Samsung Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 now appear to have the ‘Key Island’ design that debuted last year with the Galaxy A25 and Galaxy A15 models, giving the phones a raised edge on the sides, allowing for the on/off power and volume keys are more clearly visible. . It looks like the Galaxy A35 has also received a welcome update to its design, as it seems destined to replace the U-shaped notch on the front camera with a more modern camera cutout.

Another welcome upgrade for the Galaxy A55 is what could be an aluminum frame for the Galaxy A55, which would be an improvement over the use of plastic in the previous model. However, it could just be plastic with a brushed metal effect, while the Galaxy A35 will probably opt for a plastic frame just like the Galaxy A34.

Both designs have distinctive bezels with a larger bottom chin, which isn’t unusual for mid-range phones. But it’s worth noting that the many budget and mid-range phones like Xaomi Redmi Note 13, Honor Magic6 Lite and OnePlus Nord 3 5G have all managed to slim down their bezels. This has led to some users mocking the new design for its thick bezel and large “Thanos-style” chin.

Although it’s not clear from these renders, the Galaxy A55 is believed to be larger than the Samsung Galaxy A54 according to previous leakswhich along with a possible metal frame could show that the A55 could step into a more premium phone space.

One render even shows the phones with water splashes in the background, which could indicate an improved or at least the same IP67 resistance rating as the Galaxy A54 and the Galaxy A34.

If Evan’s leaks are true, it shows that further steps have been taken towards a unified and clear design for the Galaxy S and Galaxy A models.
