We can also tell that it's metal through the antenna lines placed across the frame, rather than the completely hidden antennas on its predecessor.
However, in other areas, the Galaxy A55's design remains largely unchanged, except for the elevated right-hand section known as "Key Island" that houses the volume rocker and power key. At the same time, it does depict the bulge is less prominent as compared to the unofficial computer renders of the handset. Likewise, all of these changes in build are confirmed to make the device easier and cheaper to repair.
Moreover, the upcoming mid-range gets familiar touches at the back, with floating lenses for the triple camera and an LED flash. The colors are also shown to be available in white and dark blue. Other finishes were revealed to be a shade of pink dubbed as Awesome Lilac and Awesome Iceblue or a light blue shade.
