Highlights
- Samsung Galaxy A37 and A57 leaks suggest bigger camera sensors focused on better low-light and everyday photography.
- Galaxy A57 is expected to debut the Exynos 1680 chipset with AMD-based Xclipse GPU for stronger performance and gaming.
- Both phones may feature 120Hz AMOLED displays, 5000mAh batteries, and Android 16, targeting value-focused mid-range buyers.
According to a leak from a source outside Samsung, the two upcoming Galaxy A models (the A37 and A57) will feature more powerful cameras and processors than any previous Galaxy A models. Even though Samsung has not formally announced the two new phones, this leak represents a clear indication of what users can expect from Samsung’s next-generation mobile devices.
Based on the leaked information, Samsung has made considerable improvements to both the A37 and A57 when compared to previous generations. Instead of focusing primarily on developing state-of-the-art technologies, Samsung appears to have put most of its efforts into practical features that give users an improved photo-taking experience and enhanced ease of use with its devices.
Camera Changes Focus on Better Everyday Photos
Both devices will feature larger image sensors than previous models; this larger sensor is advantageous for taking higher-quality photographs in low-light conditions due to technological advances.
Galaxy A57 Camera Setup
The Galaxy A57’s camera sensor offers 50 MP (megapixels) and measures 1/1.56 inches, compared to the 1/2.35-inch sensor used in previous A Series models. As a result, the larger sensor on the Galaxy A57 will allow users to capture more detailed, more explicit photographs at night or in dark conditions with less noise than could be achieved with the smaller sensors in previous A Series models.
It is unknown which supplier of sensors Samsung will choose to use – either sensor types manufactured by Sony or Samsung’s ISOCELL sensor technology, in relation to the market and supply availability; however, Samsung has done this in their past A Series camera offerings. While we anticipate a possible distinction between these sensors in how they perform, on a day-to-day basis, consumers should expect to be satisfied with either type of camera.
The Galaxy A57 camera setup will feature not just a primary camera but also an ultra-wide-angle 13-megapixel lens, a macro lens of 5 megapixels, and a front 12-megapixel camera. The number of cameras in this lineup seems practical and familiar, and it does not venture into uncharted territory in terms of configuration.
Galaxy A37 Camera Setup
According to reports, Samsung’s Galaxy A37 will be equipped with a fifty megapixel primary lens, similar to that of the A57, indicating that their entry-level and mid-range devices will be able to take decent pictures even at low price points.
The two phones differ most significantly in their secondary lenses. Where the A57 has a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens, the A37 is rumoured to have an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens. Additionally, there is speculation about a 5-megapixel macro lens and a 12-megapixel front camera on the front of the phone.
Thus, while the A37 does not have all the bells and whistles of its more expensive counterpart, it is slightly less complex and less expensive, while still providing users with decent-quality images for everyday viewing.
What These Camera Changes Mean
Samsung is clearly focusing on improving the main camera experience rather than adding extra lenses. There is no sign of a telephoto lens on either phone, so zoom photography will still rely on digital zoom. However, better sensor quality should help with more explicit photos in most situations.
Galaxy A57 Expected to Run on New Exynos 1680 Chip
Another significant detail from the leaks is the processor inside the Galaxy A57. Samsung’s new Exynos 1680 chipset is expected to power the phone. The Exynos 1680 chipset is expected to be significantly better than the Exynos 1580 in the Galaxy A56, according to early benchmark results. The Exynos 1680 chipset will feature an Xclipse 550 GPU based on AMD technology, delivering smooth gameplay and high-quality performance across demanding applications.
An Android 16 operating system is installed on the prototype of the Galaxy A57, if this unit is an accurate representation of what the consumer version will be. The number of RAM chips is expected to be 10-12GB, depending on the country where it is sold.
As for the chipset that Intel will use, the Galaxy A57 will most likely have Bluetooth 6.1. This will allow for an even more reliable wireless connection.
Other Expected Features
In addition to the device’s specs and performance, the rest of the leaked information seems to indicate that Samsung is keeping the same design used in prior A-series smartphones. Both the A37 & A57 are expected to come with large AMOLED displays with a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung’s A-series phones continue to offer 5000mAh batteries, a feature typical of the company’s mid-range phones. Both model A57 and model A37 will likely support fast wired charging.
A series phone, the A37, may use a slightly older Exynos processor to cut manufacturing costs and ultimately enable Samsung to sell the A37 at a more affordable price than the A57.
Launch Timeline and Positioning
Samsung’s Galaxy A37 and A57 may arrive on the market in early 2026, as early as February 2020, according to industry rumors. In early 2026, the release of the two A-series models, d, is earlier than Samsung’s usual pattern of releasing A-series products at the same time each year. Both phones are expected to attract consumers who need additional performance and a high-quality camera combined with a high level of software support, but at a price point below that of flagship phones.
Final Note
The recent leaks about the Samsung Galaxy A37 and A57 show that the tech company is not only being cautious but also making the safe move by including large-sensor cameras and an Exynos chip in both devices. This suggests that these are indeed more than just “marketing” devices for the Samsung brand.
If the pricing of both devices is on target when they come to market, both will remain viable mid-range options for consumers in 2023.
