Early indications suggest that Samsung is working on a sequel to the Galaxy A56. And considering how good the Galaxy A56 is, it’s fair to say that Samsung will have a steep hill to climb if it wants to improve upon the series with the upcoming Galaxy A57<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

How exactly could Samsung go about making the Galaxy A57 better than its predecessor? I mean, a faster Exynos SoC<\/a> is par for the course at this point, but what else can Samsung do? Here are the main improvements that I’d like the Galaxy A57 to bring to the table.<\/p>\n

\nA brighter screen\n<\/p>\n

The Galaxy A56’s display is already decently bright, but if Samsung pushes the limit of its 2026 flagship phones beyond 2600 nits, I think the Galaxy A57 also deserves an upgrade.\n<\/p>\n

The A56’s Super AMOLED display peaks at 1900 nits of brightness, but I’d love to see the Galaxy A57 surpass this and potentially reach 2600 nits.\n<\/p>\n

\nSlimmer bezels, or at least a chinless design\n<\/p>\n

Speaking of display specs, I think the Galaxy A57 could make a bigger splash if it were to become the first in the series to sport a chinless design.\n<\/p>\n

Sure, thinner bezels are always a sign of a more premium build, but I think that uniform bezels might be an even better indicator of a higher-end design.\n<\/p>\n

The thick lower display bezel is one of the design elements that hold the Galaxy A56 back. And I believe that even if Samsung can’t make the Galaxy A57’s display bezels thinner, it should at least make them symmetrical.\n<\/p>\n

\n8GB of RAM at the very least\n<\/p>\n

General performance is one thing, but multitasking prowess is another. With even the Galaxy A series now promising up to six major OS upgrades, hardware future-proofing is a concern.\n<\/p>\n

The Galaxy A56 and the Exynos 1580 chip already do a good job with their smooth UI performance, and I don’t expect the Galaxy A57 to disappoint in this regard.\n<\/p>\n

However, for the sake of longevity at the very least, I hope that the Galaxy A57 will feature 8GB of RAM as standard instead of 6GB.\n<\/p>\n

\nBetter and louder speakers\n<\/p>\n

With the exception of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung has improved the speakers on its premium Galaxy phones year after year.\n<\/p>\n

Galaxy A phones, and more specifically the Galaxy A5x series, also saw some improvements in this area from one generation to the next. But these improvements have been rather mild.\n<\/p>\n

In short, the Galaxy A57 could use higher-quality and louder speakers. This upgrade, combined with a better screen, would make it a more enjoyable multimedia device.\n<\/p>\n

\nA physical proximity sensor\n<\/p>\n

On paper, physical proximity sensors are superior to virtual proximity sensors. In practice, the Galaxy A56 does more than a decent job with just a virtual proximity sensor.\n<\/p>\n

So, while I can’t say that a physical sensor upgrade is a must for the Galaxy A57, it could be a relatively low-cost upgrade that might not only improve the experience but also appease critics and help market the phone.\n<\/p>\n

\nBonus upgrade: An Armor Aluminum frame\n<\/p>\n

Thanks to Samsung switching from a plastic to an aluminum frame in 2024, Galaxy A5x phones now feel more premium and have greater rigidity. They seem to have a higher resilience than ever.\n<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t say that another upgrade in this area is necessary, especially if it means a higher price. But as someone who uses phones without protective cases, I wouldn’t mind it if the Galaxy A57 featured an even more durable Armor Aluminum build.\n<\/p>\n

The Galaxy S22+ was the first phone that I have used extensively without a case<\/a>. And when the time came to switch to the S24+, the S22+ barely had any scars, despite the fact that I dropped it countless times.\n<\/p>\n

You could say it was partly luck, but I want to believe that the Armor Aluminum frame helped.\n<\/p>\n

All in all, trusting your phone’s structural strength can feel liberating, so while build quality improvements don’t seem critical for the Galaxy A57, I’d still welcome them.\n<\/p>\n

\nWhen will Samsung release the Galaxy A57?\n<\/p>\n

There’s no official word regarding the Galaxy A57’s release, market availability, and price, but it should go on sale in the first half of 2026.\n<\/p>\n

Until then, the Galaxy A56 remains the best choice in the A-series. Exactly how Samsung will improve the formula next year remains to be determined. Some of the potential upgrades I mentioned above may actually happen, and others might not. Regardless, the A57 will have to outdo the A56 one way or another.\n<\/p>\n
