The Samsung Galaxy A57 and A37 only just hit store shelves and the A57 is already sporting a massive price cut \u2013 the 8\/256GB variant is 27% off. That puts it at an equal price with the A37 and the A57 is easily the better phone. You can check out our versus article<\/a> to see how these two compare, but here\u2019s a summary.<\/p>\n


\n \"Samsung
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

The Galaxy A57 has a slimmer 6.9mm metal frame vs. 7.4mm plastic frame, it\u2019s lighter at 179g vs. 196g, despite having the same 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging, has a newer chipset (Exynos 1680 vs. 1480) and marginally better camera hardware. These two phones launched with One UI 8.5 (Android 16) and will receive 6 major OS updates.<\/p>\n


\n \"Samsung
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

The Poco F8 Pro is a bit pricier, but it has a flagship chipset \u2013 the Snapdragon 8 Elite (which is a year old at this point). It also brings a telephoto camera, a 50MP 2.5x\/60mm module, plus a larger 6,210mAh battery with 100W wired charging (and 22.5W reverse). This gave the Poco an edge in our testing with 17:35h Active Use score vs. 13:59h for the Galaxy A57.<\/p>\n


\n \"Poco
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

You can get the more current Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with the Poco F8 Ultra. This one also brings a bigger 6.9\u201d display (up from 6.59\u201d), bigger 6,500mAh battery (18:52h Active Use score) that also does 50W wireless charging, a bigger 50MP sensor in the main (1\/1.31\u201d vs. 1\/1.55\u201d), a longer 50MP 5x\/115mm telephoto and a better 50MP ultra-wide (vs. 8MP).<\/p>\n


\n \"Poco
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

The Ultra does cost extra, of course. The Realme 16 Pro+ is closer to the F8 Pro pricing and while it loses the chipset fight (it has a mid-range Snapdragon 7 Gen 4), it packs a larger 6.8\u201d display and a bigger 7,000mAh battery (18:18h). It also has a leg up in camera hardware with a 200MP (1\/1.56\u201d) main, 50MP 3.5x telephoto and a 50MP selfie camera (vs. 20MP). Video stabilization could have been better, but the 16 Pro+ camera impressed in our review (more so than the Poco F8 Pro camera).<\/p>\n


\n \"Realme
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

There are two slender Motorola phones on sale. The Motorola Signature is a tentative return to the flagship segment \u2013 this 7mm phone packs a 6.8\u201d display (165Hz LTPO) and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (not Elite) chipset. It has a large 1\/1.28\u201d 50MP main sensor, a 50MP 3x\/71mm periscope and a 50MP ultra-wide, plus a 50MP selfie camera. The 5,200mAh battery isn\u2019t huge, but it did well in our tests with a 16:13h Active Use score. It supports fast 90W wired and 50W wireless charging.<\/p>\n


\n \"Motorola
\n <\/a><\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the slimmer (and cheaper) Motorola Edge 70. This one measures only 6mm and weighs 159g (vs. 186g for the Signature), but battery capacity drops to 4,800mAh (13:36h) and charging rates are reduced to 68W wired and 15W wireless. The screen is a 6.7\u201d 120Hz OLED panel and the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (same as the Realme). The camera system only has a 50MP main and a 50MP ultra-wide, there is no dedicated telephoto module.<\/p>\n
