Samsung Galaxy A55 5G in Nepal: The Premium Mid-Range King (2025 Edition)

By Prem Sagar Pokharel

When it comes to the “Gold Standard” of mid-range smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G sits comfortably at the top. As we move through 2025, this device continues to be a best-seller in Nepal, offering a near-flagship experience without the S-series price tag.

If you are looking for a phone that balances a premium metal build, the new AMD-powered GPU, and top-tier security, the Galaxy A55 5G is likely on your radar. Here is everything you need to know about its price in Nepal, specifications, and whether it’s still worth buying today.

Samsung Galaxy A55 5G Price in Nepal & Availability

The Samsung Galaxy A55 5G is widely available across Nepal in retail stores and online platforms.¹ It is the first A-series phone to feature a significantly higher price bracket due to its premium materials, but it justifies the cost with its build quality.

Note: Prices are subject to change. Check local retailers or Samsung Nepal’s official site for the latest offers.

Design & Display: Finally, Metal!

For years, Samsung A-series users asked for better build quality, and the A55 delivers. It ditches the plastic frame of its predecessors for a brushed aluminum metal frame, giving it a cool, premium feel similar to the S24 series.

• Display: 6.6-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED

• Refresh Rate: 120Hz with Vision Booster

• Protection: Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ (Front & Back)

• Durability: IP67 Dust and Water Resistance⁴

The “Key Island” design raises the frame slightly around the power and volume buttons, making them easier to find by feel—a small but thoughtful touch.

Performance: The Exynos 1480 Leap

The biggest talking point of the Galaxy A55 is its chipset. It is powered by the Exynos 1480 (4nm), but the magic lies in its GPU.⁵ Samsung has collaborated with AMD to bring the Xclipse 530 GPU to the mid-range.

• Gaming: Improved graphics handling for games like PUBG and Genshin Impact compared to the older A54.

• Cooling: A 74% larger cooling chamber ensures the phone stays cool during extended use.

• Software: Runs on OneUI 6.1 (Android 14) out of the box, with 4 years of OS upgrades promised.⁷

Camera: The Nightography Champion

Samsung hasn’t changed the megapixel count, but they have upgraded the image signal processing (ISP) with AI.

• Main Camera: 50MP (OIS) – Captures crisp details even in low light.

• Ultrawide: 12MP – Great for landscapes and group shots.

• Macro: 5MP – Usable close-ups (better than the standard 2MP sensors on other phones).

• Selfie: 32MP – Offers 4K video recording, perfect for vloggers.

The Nightography features have been improved, reducing noise in low-light photos significantly.¹²

Battery & Charging

The A55 packs a standard 5000mAh battery, which easily lasts over a day thanks to the efficient 4nm chip. However, the charging speed remains capped at 25W, which is slower than many competitors in this price range.

Note: As with all modern Samsung phones, the charging adapter is not included in the box.

Conclusion: Should You Buy the A55 in 2025?

If you want a phone that feels like a flagship, has a stunning display, and will receive software updates for years, the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G is an excellent choice. While the charging speed is slow, the premium metal build and reliable cameras make up for it.

However, if you are looking for even more performance or waiting for the next big thing, you might want to keep an eye on upcoming releases or check out the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE for a slightly higher tier experience.
