Galaxy A57
Samsung has expanded its popular A-series lineup in India with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy A57 and Samsung Galaxy A37. Positioned between the flagship Galaxy S series and budget offerings, these smartphones are designed for users seeking a balanced mix of performance, camera capabilities, and premium design without entering flagship pricing territory.
The new Galaxy A series devices target buyers who prefer non-Chinese brands and want a dependable Android experience without stepping into higher-priced flagship devices or experimenting with alternatives like Pixel phones. While the design language remains familiar, Samsung has introduced meaningful upgrades in performance and camera processing.
Price and Availability in India
The Galaxy A57 comes in two configurations:
- 8GB RAM + 256GB storage priced at ₹56,999
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage priced at ₹62,499
Meanwhile, the Galaxy A37 is offered in three variants:
- 8GB RAM + 128GB storage at ₹41,999
- 8GB RAM + 256GB storage at ₹47,499
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage at ₹52,999
Both smartphones will go on sale starting April 10, 2026, through retail stores, Samsung Exclusive Stores, Samsung’s official website, and other online platforms.
As part of launch offers, buyers can avail ₹3,000 cashback via bank or UPI transactions, opt for a 24-month zero-interest EMI plan, or claim a ₹3,000 upgrade bonus.
In terms of colours, the Galaxy A57 is available in Awesome Navy, Awesome Icyblue, and Awesome Lilac, while the Galaxy A37 comes in Awesome Lavender, Awesome Charcoal, and Awesome Graygreen.
Key Specifications at a Glance
Both devices share several core features, making them competitive in the mid-premium segment:
- Display: 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate and Vision Booster for enhanced outdoor visibility
- Battery: 5,000mAh battery, claimed to last up to two days
- Charging: Super Fast Charging 2.0 with up to 60% charge in ~30 minutes
- Front Camera: 12MP selfie shooter on both models
- Software: One UI 8.5 based on Android 16 with six years of updates
Performance
The Galaxy A57 is powered by the Exynos 1680 chipset, while the Galaxy A37 runs on the Exynos 1480 processor. Notably, Samsung has shifted the A37 from Snapdragon to Exynos, marking a strategic change in hardware.
Camera Setup
Both smartphones feature a triple rear camera system:
- 50MP primary sensor
- 5MP macro lens
The key difference lies in the ultra-wide lens:
- Galaxy A57: 12MP ultra-wide
- Galaxy A37: 8MP ultra-wide
Samsung claims improvements in the Image Signal Processor (ISP), enabling sharper images, better colour balance, and improved low-light performance without manual adjustments.
Features That Stand Out
Samsung has equipped both devices with AI-powered camera enhancements, including subject recognition, scene optimisation, and features like Best Face and Edit Suggestions. These tools aim to deliver better portraits, natural skin tones, and enhanced background separation.
The smartphones also feature slimmer bezels and a glossy finish with a redesigned triple-camera island, giving them a modern and premium feel. Additionally, a 13% larger vapour chamber helps maintain performance during intensive tasks such as gaming or video recording.
What You Should Know
While the Galaxy A57 and A37 offer a strong mix of display quality, battery life, and software support, they do miss out on wireless charging—something that could matter to premium users. Samsung’s promise of six years of Android and security updates, however, adds long-term value.
These devices are clearly aimed at everyday users who want reliability, solid cameras, and a vibrant display experience without stretching into flagship pricing. With competitive pricing and improved internals, Samsung is strengthening its position in the ₹40,000–₹60,000 smartphone segment.
