Samsung is swiftly completing the formalities before it unveils the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35. In recent weeks, it has obtained several regulatory certifications for its upcoming mid-range smartphones. The company has also put up official support pages for the phones on its website in some regions, including Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the UK. It has just published the pages for the duo in a few more European countries as it prepares for the launch.

Galaxy A55 and A35 get official support pages before launch

Samsung usually publishes its official support pages for its upcoming smartphones a few weeks before launch. These pages provide a wide range of support resources for the devices once they arrive on the market, including guides, tips and tricks, and FAQs. The Korean firm started putting up support pages for the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 about two weeks back. As the launch draws closer, the pages are appearing on more regional Samsung websites.

We can now see support pages for the upcoming mid-range duo in Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, and a few other countries. As usual, they currently don’t reveal anything more than the device’s model numbers—SM-A556B for the Galaxy A55 and SM-A356B for the Galaxy A35. Some are marked “DS” to indicate dual-SIM variants. In some regions, the storage variant (128GB or 256GB) is also mentioned.

This is an indication that the devices are nearing their market release. Samsung is approaching the first anniversary of the Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A34—launched on 14 March 2023—so it is just about time now. There are rumors that the 2024 models will arrive a few weeks later. Even with this delay, the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 may debut within the next couple of months. We will let you know when Samsung officially announces the launch.

Both models will bring a handful of upgrades

Samsung will upgrade its mid-range lineup with the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35. The former will jump from a plastic frame to a metallic frame, likely an aluminum one. It will also get a newer processor (Exynos 1480) with a custom GPU developed in collaboration with AMD. The Exynos 1480 is the company’s first mid-range chipset with an AMD-powered GPU. We may get camera improvements too.

The Galaxy A35, on the other hand, still has a plastic frame. However, Samsung is upgrading it from a notched display to a punch-hole design. The device is also rumored to feature a newer primary rear camera, likely the 50MP shooter found on the Galaxy A54. It might reuse the A54’s Exynos 1380 chipset as well. You can expect more leaks and rumors about the new Samsung mid-rangers in the build-up to the launch.
