TL;DR<\/p>\n

The Galaxy A57 has surfaced on China\u2019s TENAA database, giving us an early, official-looking preview of Samsung\u2019s next mid-range phone.
\nThe A57 could be just 6.9mm thick, matching rumored Galaxy S26 dimensions.
\nTENAA photos show the same vertical camera layout and Key Island buttons, now paired with what appears to be a metal frame.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s mid-range phones usually play it safe, but the upcoming Galaxy A57<\/a> is looking to stir things up by trimming the fat. As everyone focuses on the Galaxy S26<\/a>, a recent listing from China\u2019s TENAA certification agency<\/a> has given us an early look at the upcoming model.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve held a Galaxy A56<\/a>, the new model should feel familiar but more premium. The TENAA images show the same vertical camera stack as before. The frame looks like it\u2019s made of metal, which should make it more durable, and it uses the Key Island design, where the power and volume buttons are on a slightly raised part of the frame.<\/p>\n

Samsung also seems to be leaning into personality with its color palette. In addition to the standard-issue black and white, we\u2019ve caught a glimpse of a striking new purple finish.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expect a completely powerful processor. Samsung is likely using the Exynos 1680 chipset. It\u2019s not the best for gaming, but it comes with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.<\/p>\n

On the display side of things, you could get a 6.6-inch FHD+ OLED panel. There\u2019s no news yet about the bezels, but Samsung\u2019s screens are usually impressive. Like last year, the A57 is said to support 45W fast charging<\/a> for its 5,000mAh battery.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t have to wait long to see how the A57 performs. It\u2019s expected to launch with the Galaxy A37 in early to mid-February, probably just before or during Samsung\u2019s big Galaxy Unpacked event<\/a>.<\/p>\n
