Samsung Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57: everything you need to know

Samsung has unveiled two new mid-range smartphones: the Galaxy A37 and the Galaxy A57. Here’s what you need to know.

The Galaxy A line matters a great deal to Samsung. The aim is to deliver a near-flagship experience while keeping the price in check. The brand has now introduced its latest pair: the Galaxy A37 and the Galaxy A57.

These handsets are pitched at people who don’t necessarily want the very best of the best, but still expect something solid at a sensible price. From design and performance to pricing, here are the key points on the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57.

When are the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 coming out, and how much do they cost?

The Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 are available right now. Samsung’s recommended prices are:

Galaxy A37, 128 GB: €449
Galaxy A37, 256 GB: €529
Galaxy A57, 128 GB: €549
Galaxy A57, 256 GB: €599

At these prices, the Galaxy A37 sits squarely in the mid-range, while the Galaxy A57 targets a “mid-range plus” tier. That puts them up against devices such as the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ and the Motorola Edge 70.

What do the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 look like?

Samsung tends to standardise its design language so that its phones share a familiar look, and the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 follow that approach. They adopt the newer camera module styling seen on the Galaxy S26 range, with the lenses grouped within a raised island. There are still clear differences between the Galaxy A and Galaxy S families, but at a glance it would be easy to mix them up-very much Samsung’s signature.

From the front and back, the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 look broadly alike thanks to their glossy glass rear panels, yet their build choices set them apart. The Galaxy A57 uses a metal frame that helps it feel more premium. It is also slim at just 6.9 mm thick, and the display is framed by appealingly tight bezels measuring under 2 mm.

To keep the Galaxy A37 more affordable, Samsung has made a few trade-offs. The frame switches to plastic and the handset is slightly thicker (7.4 mm). The screen also comes with chunkier borders, which makes the viewing experience a little less pleasing. Both models carry an IP68 rating, meaning they are resistant to water and dust. The Galaxy A37 comes in black, dark green, white and lavender, while the Galaxy A57 is offered in dark blue, light blue, grey and lavender.

What are the technical specifications of the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57?

On paper, both phones offer hardware that fits their pricing. Samsung’s own Exynos chips power the pair-Exynos 1480 for the A37 and Exynos 1680 for the A57-aiming to deliver smooth everyday use.

	Galaxy A37	Galaxy A57
Dimensions	162.9 × 78.2 × 7.4 mm	161 × 76.8 × 6.9 mm
Weight	196 g	179 g
Screen	Super AMOLED 6.7 inches

Both devices use the same display: a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with an HDR peak brightness of 1900 nits, which remains decent for outdoor visibility. Power comes from a 5000 mAh battery with 45 W fast charging. Camera hardware differs slightly between the two, though each still includes a 50-megapixel main sensor. The Galaxy A57 pairs it with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, while the Galaxy A37 settles for an 8-megapixel ultra-wide.

What are the standout features of the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57?

In this mid-range bracket, Samsung puts more emphasis on everyday usage than raw specifications. As a result, AI is the main talking point here, with a range of tools included: Gemini, Circle to Search, an audio transcription feature, instant translation and photo editing. It does not match the Galaxy AI feature set found on the Galaxy S26 line, but it is positioned as sufficient for productivity.

The Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 run Android 16 with the One UI 8.5 skin. Samsung is committing to 6 major OS updates and six years of security updates, which would keep them supported through to 2032.

Which accessories are available for the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57?

As usual, Samsung sells accessories separately. The Galaxy A range is supported with silicone cases in the same colours as the phones themselves. Note that each model has its own case: Galaxy A37 cases are not compatible with the Galaxy A57 because the two handsets do not share the same dimensions. Samsung also offers a reinforced protective case.
