IN PICS | Redmi Note 13 Pro, Poco X6 Pro, More Alternatives To Samsung Galaxy M55

Samsung enters premium mid-segment with Galaxy M55 5G with 6.7" FHD+ AMOLED+ display, Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, 50MP main camera, Android 14, starting at Rs 26,999. Here are some alternatives:

Samsung Galaxy M55 sports a 50-megapixel selfie camera.

Realme 12 Pro 5G (Price: Rs 25,999 onwards) - Realme 12 Pro outshines Galaxy M55 with its stunning design crafted in collaboration with luxury watchmaker Ollivier Savéo, featuring a vegan leather back and a distinctive circular camera unit with gold highlights. Despite its impressive style, Realme 12 Pro packs substantial specs, including a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX709 sensor, and a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging, although it falls short in processing power with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip, making it a worthy competitor to Galaxy M55 solely based on its aesthetic appeal.

Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G (Price: Rs 25,999 onwards) - The Redmi Note 13 Pro lacks the vegan leather back of its Plus counterpart but remains a significant competitor to the Galaxy M55, boasting a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, it features a 200-megapixel main Samsung Isocell HP3 sensor with OIS, although its supporting ultrawide and macro cameras are not as impressive.

Nothing Phone 2a (Price: Rs 23,999 onwards) - Nothing's most affordable phone, the Phone (2a), may not boast the highest specifications in the mid-segment market, but its innovative design and interface present a strong challenge to competitors like the Galaxy M55. Featuring a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chip, a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS, and a unique transparent and LED-laden back, it offers a distinctive user experience with the clean NothingOS interface, all at a slightly lower price point than the Galaxy M55.

Poco X6 Pro 5G (Price: Rs 26,999 onwards) - The Poco X6 Pro offers flagship-level processing power with the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra chip, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage, making it a top choice for gaming under Rs 30,000. Featuring a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, triple camera setup, 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging, and Xiaomi's HyperOS, it competes strongly against the Samsung Galaxy M55 in the mid-segment market.

OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G (Price: Rs 24,999 onwards) - OnePlus introduces its latest mid-range contender, the Nord CE 4, featuring specifications akin to the Galaxy M55. Equipped with a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display and powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, it boasts a 50-megapixel main camera, 5,500mAh battery with 100W charging, and a distinctive design, potentially challenging the Samsung Galaxy in the market.
