Samsung has launched the updated Galaxy A series mid-range smartphones, introducing the Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G. These new models come equipped with One UI 8.5 and maintain the design of their earlier versions, but they include several notable enhancements.
Major Upgrades in Galaxy A57 5G
The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G has received the most significant upgrades among the new mid-range devices. Key enhancements feature the new octa-core Exynos 1680 SoC built on a 4 nm process, IP68 water and dust resistance, and support for Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6.0, along with a brighter display.
Additionally, the Galaxy A57 5G is now more compact, slimmer at 6.9 mm, and lighter at 179 g compared to the Galaxy A56, while still boasting the same 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display. Samsung has achieved this by reducing the size of the display bezels. The 6.7-inch FHD+ 120 Hz screen now offers a peak brightness of 1,900 nits, making it more vibrant.
Camera System and Image Quality
Unfortunately, the camera setup appears to remain unchanged from the Galaxy A56, which is starting to feel outdated. We still have the same triple-camera arrangement with a:
Samsung asserts that an improved Image Signal Processor (ISP) enables the Galaxy A57 to capture more colorful and clearer images with less noise. The device is also said to produce better portrait shots thanks to advanced AI subject separation.
The Galaxy A57 5G keeps the premium metallic edges, Gorilla Glass Victus+ covering both the front and back, along with a substantial 5,000 mAh battery from the Galaxy A56. Users can fast-charge the device using a 45 W charger, sold separately by Samsung.
Galaxy A37: Minor Changes
On the other hand, the Galaxy A37 is largely similar to the Galaxy A36, with just a few notable differences. The most significant updates for the Galaxy A37 include the new 4 nm Exynos 1480 SoC with eight cores, an IP68 rating, and an upgraded ISP. Samsung claims the new ISP will enhance low-light photography by reducing noise and improving sharpness and color accuracy.
Everything else, including the triple-camera configuration, the front-facing camera, and the 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, has not changed.
Fortunately, like the Galaxy A57, the Galaxy A37’s display can also reach a peak brightness of 1,900 nits. Unlike the A57, the A37 still features the thicker bezels, dimensions, and weight of 196 g from its predecessor.
Availability and Pricing
The Galaxy A37 5G, like its sibling, shares the 45 W charging capability, 5,000 mAh battery, and One UI 8.5. Based on Android 16 QPR2, One UI 8.5 introduces a refreshed look and a range of AI features, including Circle to Search, for the new Galaxy A series.
Both the Galaxy A57 5G and the Galaxy A37 5G are set to be available for purchase starting April 10. Samsung has also offered a pre-order incentive of double the storage, meaning if you pre-order either the Galaxy A57 or Galaxy A37 before April 18, you’ll receive double the storage at no additional cost.
