Have you heard that Samsung has introduced secure chat rooms for its employees to curb leaks? So, anyway, the Samsung Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 appeared in a hands-on video last week and now they’re in an even longer video. Well the official announcement is on Wednesday.
The video is from Vietnam and it reveals the local pricing – the 8/128GB A37 will be priced at VND 10,990,000, which converts to $420 / €365 / ₹39,000. Meanwhile, the 8/128GB A57 will be priced at VND 12,490,000, which converts to $475 / €410 / ₹44,500. This is just currency conversion, however, local prices will vary in each region.
For reference, the launch prices of the A36 and A56 were VND 8,290,000 and VND 9,990,000 respectively. This is the same 8/128GB base configuration, which appears to remain the norm for the A-series (while the S-series has been upgraded to 12/256GB as base).
Back to video – After showing the prices, it shows the accessories you get in the box: a cable, a SIM ejector, and a quick start guide. It’s pretty bare bones, but that’s the standard these days.
The design of the phone is slightly updated. They’re thinner than their 2025 counterparts, but the camera island has an additional raised “step.” The “key islands” (the raised area around the power and volume keys) are still there.
The Galaxy A37 has a new older chipset – the Exynos 1480, replacing the A36’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. We say the 1480 chip is “old” because it was previously used in the A55. Like before, both the phones will get 6 years of OS updates. The A37 has the same display as its predecessor, a 6.7″ 120Hz panel with a brightness of 1,200 nits. The battery is also the same with a 5,000mAh capacity and 45W wired-only charging.
As for the Galaxy A57, it has a metal frame as expected (the A37 has a plastic frame). Furthermore, it has the same 6.7″ 120Hz display as the A37 and A56. This phone will bring additional performance with the new Exynos 1680. Both phones run on One UI 8.5 / Android 16 out of the box. The cameras on both phones are the same – 50MP main, 8MP ultra-wide and 5MP macro at the back and 12MP selfie on the front. The maximum resolution of the phone is 4K at 30fps for video recording.
The video is in Vietnamese, but there are good English subtitles on YouTube.
