Samsung Galaxy A37 5G and A57 5G Official: Higher Prices, Familiar Formula, and Useful Upgrades
Samsung has officially introduced the Galaxy A37 5G and Galaxy A57 5G, two new mid-range smartphones that bring measured but relevant upgrades over the previous generation, along with higher starting prices and a retail release scheduled for early April in the US market.
With its latest A-series refresh, Samsung is once again focusing on refinement rather than reinvention. The new Galaxy A37 5G and Galaxy A57 5G keep the familiar formula of large AMOLED displays, solid battery life, and long-term software support, but this time they arrive at higher price points than their predecessors.
In the United States, the Galaxy A37 5G starts at $449.99 for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage model, while the 8GB RAM and 256GB version is priced at $539.99. The Galaxy A57 5G begins at $549.99 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB variant, with the 8GB RAM and 256GB model reaching $609.99.
Both phones are built around 6.7-inch AMOLED displays with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, and both pack 5,000mAh batteries with support for 45W charging. The key internal difference is the processor: the Galaxy A57 5G uses Samsung’s newer Exynos 1680, while the Galaxy A37 5G runs on the Exynos 1480, giving the A57 a more performance-oriented position in the lineup.
Samsung has also avoided making any dramatic changes to the industrial design. Instead, the company has refined the existing look of the A-series, while the Galaxy A57 5G adds a more premium touch with a metal frame, whereas the Galaxy A37 5G keeps a plastic frame.
The camera setup remains broadly familiar, though there are some differences between the two models. The Galaxy A37 5G features a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 5MP macro sensor, while the Galaxy A57 5G pairs the same 50MP main camera and 5MP macro shooter with a higher-resolution 12MP ultrawide camera; both devices use a 12MP front-facing camera.
One of the more notable upgrades this year is durability. Multiple reports indicate that both phones carry an IP68 rating, marking an improvement for Samsung’s mid-range lineup and making the devices more resilient against dust and water exposure than earlier A-series generations.
On the software side, Samsung continues to lean on long-term support as a selling point. The two phones launch with Android 16 and One UI 8.5, and Samsung is promising six major OS updates along with six years of security patches, which gives both models a stronger long-term value proposition in the mid-range segment.
Overall, this is a characteristically incremental Samsung update. The Galaxy A37 5G and Galaxy A57 5G do not attempt to redefine the category, but they still offer enough familiar strengths — large displays, dependable battery capacity, faster charging, and lengthy software support — to remain strong contenders for buyers who want a Samsung phone without stepping up to flagship pricing.
