You know a launch is close when the retail listings start showing up before the press release does.
Evan Blass posted screenshots on X from what appear to be retail listings for the Galaxy A57 and A37 — and between the renders, specs, and pricing, there’s not a whole lot left for Samsung to announce.
Two phones, one familiar design
The two phones are cut from the same cloth, at least on paper. Both are tipped to get a 6.7-inch flat Super AMOLED screen running at 120Hz, a centred punch-hole, and a triple camera setup with a 50MP main shooter up front.
The ultrawide is where you’ll feel the price difference — 12MP on the A57, 8MP on the A37. Not a dealbreaker, but if you shoot wide regularly, you’ll know.
Battery life shouldn’t be a concern on either — a 5,000mAh cell with 45W charging is what the leaks point to, and that’s a solid setup at this price. The Exynos 1680 goes to the A57; the A37 gets the 1480. Not a gap that’ll wreck your day, but it’s there.
Where the differences start to show
The A57 also quietly picks up Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 6.0 while the A37 stops at Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 — a small thing that’ll only bother you once it starts bothering you. Both are said to launch running Android 16 with One UI 8.5.
Take the pricing with a pinch of salt for now — Samsung’s said nothing official. The retail listing shows South African contract rates of R429 (~$23) a month over 48 months for the A57 and R399 (~$22) a month over 36 months for the A37, with European leaks pointing to €539 and €439 outright.
Same story on the launch date — end of March 2026 keeps coming up, but Samsung hasn’t put a date on anything yet.
