Samsung Galaxy A55 stars in live images showcasing its metal frame

The Samsung Galaxy A55 just keeps on leaking. It can't stop itself. We've already seen support pages for it go up, promotional renders leaked, cases leaked, and even its reparability score outed. Today we get the first live images of the upcoming device, and if you were expecting any huge design changes, you'll be disappointed. It still looks very much like any Samsung with the three individual circle-islands for the cameras.

And yet, there is a significant bit of news here, but it may not be very apparent upon first glance. The Galaxy A55 will be the first in the A5x line to sport a metal frame. The antenna lines are the dead giveaway. Thus, the A55 will look even more like a high-end phone.

[Exclusive] This is the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G, launching soon in India.
- 50MP + 12MP + 5MP triple rear cameras
- 32MP front camera

The handset is expected to have a triple rear camera system (50 MP + 12 MP + 5 MP), a 32 MP selfie snapper, a flat frame with the new "key island" that raises the power and volume buttons up for easier usability (which made its debut in the A15 and A25), 128/256GB of storage and up to 12GB of RAM. Powering the A55 will be Samsung's Exynos 1480 SoC which comes with AMD graphics.

The A55 should finally be getting official in the next few weeks, as its predecessor was announced in mid-March last year.
