The Galaxy A56 was the best-selling phone in Europe<\/a> last year, plus it and the A36 were two of the Top 10 most popular phones in our database. That\u2019s an impressive track record, but now the next generation is here to take the baton.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy A37 and A57 follow the same formula as their 2025 predecessors but have improved build quality and higher performance, plus new camera and AI features.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy A57<\/a> is powered by the Exynos 1680 chipset. It\u2019s a 4nm chip with a new GPU, the Xclipse 550, and a more powerful NPU that delivers 19.6 TOPS (up from 14.7 TOPS on the 1580). The chip is paired with a 13% larger vapor chamber for better sustained performance.<\/p>\n

The A57 stands out from its sibling with a slimmer metal frame. It measures 6.9mm thick and weighs 179g, compared to 7.4mm and 198g for the A56. New this year is the improved submersion rating, which earned the phone an IP68 rating. The A37 is also rated IP68 (up from IP67 on both 2025 models).<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy A37<\/a> stuck with a plastic build and the same overall dimensions as before, 7.4mm thickness and 196g.<\/p>\n

\"Galaxy<\/p>\n

Both phones run on a 5,000mAh battery with 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0, which can do 0-60% in 30 minutes or so.<\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy A37<\/p>\n

The Galaxy A37 is powered by the Exynos 1480, a chipset that we have previously seen on the A55 (from 2024). There are four memory configurations: 6\/128GB, 8\/128GB, 8\/256GB and 12\/256GB.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy A57 is the more performant option with a newer chipset (by 2 generations), the bigger vapor chamber and better memory options: 8\/128GB, 8\/256GB, 12\/256GB and 12\/512GB. Note that some options might not be available in your region.<\/p>\n

\"Galaxy<\/p>\n

The A57 puts some of that extra performance to work for the camera. For example, the Best Face feature supports more photos and continuous shooting. It also features Auto Trim, which simplifies video editing. The Object Eraser has been tuned up to deliver more natural results while the Voice Recorder app boasts a new Voice Transcription feature.<\/p>\n

The two phones have 6.7\u201d Super AMOLED displays with 1080p+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The press release doesn\u2019t officially name the protective glass, but we\u2019re pretty sure that it\u2019s Gorilla Glass Victus+.<\/p>\n

\"Galaxy<\/p>\n

Both have 50MP main cameras with f\/1.8 lenses and improved Nightography for photos and videos (Samsung\u2019s low-light mode). They have the same selfie cameras too with 12MP sensors and f\/2.2 lenses.<\/p>\n

The A57 has a higher resolution ultra-wide camera, 12MP vs. 8MP on the A37. Both have the same 5MP macro camera as their third module on the back.<\/p>\n

\"Galaxy<\/p>\n

As expected, the phones launch with One UI 8.5 \/ Android 16 out of the box and will be kept current through major OS updates for 6 years. This includes security patches too.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 will be available from April 9 or 10 (it varies by region). In the US, the A37 will start at $450, while the base A57 option will cost $550. In Europe, the prices are \u20ac430 and \u20ac530, respectively. In some regions, you will get the higher storage tier (256GB) for free during a short promotional period. This varies by region – the offer ends on April 18 in Germany and on April 24 in France, for example. Meanwhile, the US press release makes no mention of a free storage upgrade.<\/p>\n
