Samsung Galaxy A37 and A57 hands-on: The cheaper phone might be a winner
Engadget • • technology
Key Points:
- Samsung has expanded its midrange A-series lineup with the Galaxy A37 and A57, priced starting at $450 and $550 respectively, featuring upgraded Exynos processors, large 6.7-inch AMOLED displays, 5,000mAh batteries, and improved AI capabilities.
- The Galaxy A37 offers strong value with a plastic frame, Exynos 1480 chip, stereo speakers, and multiple color options, making it a compelling choice over the $200 A17 and competitive with the Pixel 10a.
- The Galaxy A57, while slightly more powerful with an Exynos 1680 chip and Bluetooth 6/Wi-Fi 6E support, is less appealing due to its higher price, limited color choice, and competition from the Pixel 10a and Samsung’s own Galaxy S25 FE.
- Both phones support IP68 water and dust resistance, 120Hz refresh rates, and fast wired charging up to 45 watts, surpassing the base Galaxy S26’s charging speed, but lack wireless charging.
- The Galaxy A37 and A57 will be available starting April 9, providing more affordable smartphone options amid rising device costs linked to the global RAM shortage.
