Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy A37 5G and Galaxy A57 5G, expanding its midrange A-series lineup with noticeable upgrades in performance, cameras, and AI-driven features. The new devices continue Samsung’s strategy of bringing premium-like capabilities to the affordable smartphones while maintaining a familiar design language.
Performance Gets a Noticeable Boost
The biggest upgrades this year come under the hood. The Galaxy A57 is powered by Samsung’s newer Exynos 1680 chipset, delivering improved both CPU and GPU performance, while the Galaxy A37 features the Exynos 1480, offering solid and smooth performance.
Camera Improvements
Samsung has kept its camera formula consistent but refined it where needed. Both phones feature a 50MP main sensor, paired with ultra-wide and macro lenses. The key difference lies in the ultra-wide camera, although Samsung A57 gets a higher-resolution 12MP sensor compared to the A37’s 8MP unit.
Display, Design, and Durability
Both the Galaxy A37 and A57 come with a large 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Full HD+ resolution.
Samsung has also added IP68 water and dust resistance, making these devices more durable as compared to others affordable smartphones. The Galaxy A57 features a slightly slimmer and more premium design, while the A37 sticks to a more budget-friendly build.
Battery Life and Software Support
Battery life remains a strong point, with both devices packing a 5,000mAh battery supported by 45W fast charging.
One of the standout features is Samsung’s long-term software commitment. Both phones come with Android 16-based One UI 8.5 and are promised up to six years of OS and security updates—something rarely seen in this segment.
Pricing and Availability
The Galaxy A37 is considered as the more affordable option, starting around $449, while the Galaxy A57 sits higher in the lineup with prices going up to $699 depending on configuration.
Both devices are expected to roll out globally in phases, targeting users who want a balance between performance, camera quality, and long-term reliability.
