Samsung’s next wave of mid-range phones has been fully exposed just hours before launch. Fresh leaks have essentially revealed everything about the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 ahead of their official debut on March 25, including key specifications, design details, software plans, and early pricing expectations.
The two new models are expected to stick with Samsung’s familiar “Key Island” button area while arriving in a slimmer body than their 2025 predecessors. Leaked material also points to a refreshed, layered-looking camera island design on the back. The Galaxy A57 is said to keep a more premium feel with a metal frame, while the Galaxy A37 reportedly uses a plastic frame to keep costs down.
On the display front, both phones look very similar: each is tipped to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. That combination has become a sweet spot for buyers who want an upscale viewing experience without paying flagship prices, and it’s likely to be one of the main selling points for both devices.
Performance is where the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 are expected to separate more clearly. The Galaxy A37 is rumored to run on the Exynos 1480, a chip that’s already been used in earlier devices, while the Galaxy A57 is said to step up to Samsung’s newer Exynos 1680 mid-range processor. In other words, the A57 should be the better choice for users who care about faster day-to-day performance, heavier multitasking, and smoother long-term use.
Camera specs have also leaked in detail. Both phones are expected to use a 50MP main camera and a 5MP macro camera, but the ultra-wide camera differs: the Galaxy A37 is rumored to include an 8MP ultra-wide, while the Galaxy A57 jumps to a 12MP ultra-wide. If accurate, that makes the A57 the more appealing pick for landscape and group shots where a wider field of view matters.
Battery and charging look equally strong across the pair. Each phone is tipped to include a 5,000 mAh battery along with 45W fast charging. That’s a combination that should translate into all-day battery life for most users, plus quick top-ups when time is tight—an increasingly important feature in the competitive mid-range market.
One of the biggest potential advantages, though, may not be hardware at all. Both the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 are expected to ship with One UI 8.5 based on Android 16, and they’re rumored to come with six years of OS updates. Long software support has become a major decision factor for buyers who want to keep a phone for years, and offering that kind of update window in the mid-range category could significantly boost the value proposition.
Pricing is still not official, but the leaks suggest a possible price hike compared to prior models. Current estimates put the Galaxy A37 at around $420 (about €365 when converted) and the Galaxy A57 at roughly $475 (around €410 when converted). These are conversions and local pricing may vary, but they give a general idea of where Samsung may position the two phones.
Interestingly, the leaks have been so detailed that Samsung appears to be clamping down. A hands-on video that surfaced online and showcased the devices in detail has since been removed, and there are claims the company is tightening internal controls to reduce early information spills. With the official reveal set for March 25, it won’t be long before Samsung confirms what’s real—but at this point, the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 may be the worst-kept secrets in the mid-range smartphone world.
