Correction: We\u2019ve clarified with Samsung about the processor seen in the Galaxy A57 5G. The original specification sheet contained an error and we\u2019ve updated the article to reflect the amended processor model number. See below for the update.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This article was first published on 25 March 2026. 10 April 2026 update: Both phones are now available and we\u2019ve updated with its launch promotions below.<\/i><\/p>\n

Samung Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G are now available<\/h2>\n

Samsung has announced its 2026 mid-range and entry-level mobile phones for the Singapore market: Galaxy A57 5G<\/b> and Galaxy A37 5G<\/b>, respectively.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s Galaxy A-series phones are the company\u2019s mass-market, affordable alternatives to its premium Galaxy S-series phones (like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra we reviewed).<\/p>\n

According to Samsung, the Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G are getting up to six generations of operating system and long-term security support<\/b>. <\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t sound like much if they were less-intelligent phones, but the 2026 Galaxy A-series handsets are getting Galaxy AI features and tools, which are largely reliant on software optimisations or OS updates.<\/p>\n

Right out of the box, both phones carry their latest One UI 8.5<\/b>. That gives access to Galaxy AI tools like:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Voice Transcription<\/b> (for meetings, call recordings, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • AI Select<\/b> (with drag and drop) <\/li>\n
  • Object Eraser<\/b> (for photo editing) <\/li>\n
  • Best Face<\/b> (for selfies) Filters (first debuted in the Galaxy S25 series<\/u>) <\/li>\n
  • Edit Suggestions<\/b> (photo editing based on computational metrics) <\/li>\n
  • Circle to Search<\/b> with Google <\/li>\n
  • Google Gemini <\/b>built-in <\/li>\n
  • Upgraded Bixby<\/b> with natural language support (similar to Galaxy S26 series) <\/li>\n
  • Auto Trim <\/b>for Galaxy A57 5G (automatic video snippet editing)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Also, Samsung didn\u2019t forget to give hardware upgrades to both devices.<\/p>\n

    Hardware to keep up with your software<\/h2>\n

    Both the Galaxy A57 5G and the Galaxy A37 5G have triple rear cameras<\/b>, with a 50MP, f\/1.8 aperture main camera. On paper, it\u2019s similar to previous models, but the 2026 ones have an improved image signalling processor (ISP), which also upgrades the phones\u2019 Nightography<\/b> (low-light shooting) capabilities.<\/p>\n

    Both are supported by AI-based subject recognition and scene optimisation, so it matters not if you\u2019re shooting portraits, group photos, landscape views, or others.<\/p>\n

    The supporting rear cameras are an ultrawide shooter (12MP, f\/2.2 on Galaxy A57 5G and 8MP, f\/2.2 on Galaxy A37 5G) and a 5MP macro camera (f\/2.4) for close-ups.<\/p>\n

    Galaxy A57 5G\u2019s photo-taking gets extra detail sharpening and noise reduction, which helps with accurate photo-taking.<\/p>\n

    Both phones pack a 5,000mAh<\/b> battery and 45W wired charging<\/b>, which is on par with some Galaxy S devices (since the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/u> is the first Samsung premium phone to hit 60W).<\/p>\n

    They also use the same Super AMOLED display with the same size (6.7 inches), resolution (FHD+), and peak refresh rate (120Hz). They also have the same I{68 rating against water and dust.<\/p>\n

    So how else do they differ?<\/b> The Galaxy A57 5G is slimmer (6.9mm versus the Galaxy A37 5G\u2019s 7.4mm) and lighter (174g versus 196g). Also, the Galaxy A57 5G offers variants with 12GB of RAM (256GB or 512GB storage), while the Galaxy A37 5G only has 6GB or 8GB RAM (128GB and 256GB storage, respectively).<\/p>\n

    The price difference also comes down to their processor choice, with the Exynos 1680<\/b> on the Galaxy A57 5G and the Exynos 1480<\/b> on the Galaxy A37 5G. Also, Galaxy A57 5G gets a 13% larger vapour chamber to help with maintaining peak performance under intense app loads (gaming, recording, etc.).<\/p>\n
