There may be trouble ahead for the Galaxy A57 and A37 – the results of last week’s survey are in and the general consensus is that both phones are priced too high. And that there’s some serious competition in the mid-range market. Luckily, Galaxy A phones don’t stay at MSRP for long, so the first problem will be fixed soon. If it hasn’t already happened – we’re seeing deals in some markets.
Looking at the Samsung Galaxy A57, there’s interest, but it’s strongly dependent on a low price or a good bundle deal. At least one person in the comments praised the phone’s thin and light build. That said, most commenters focused on price – people agree with our heated opinion that you shouldn’t buy the A57 or A37 at MSRP.
Many brought up the Galaxy S24 FE and S25 FE, which are similar to the A57 in terms of price, while offering a higher-end chipset and some premium features like a telephoto camera. Unless the price of the A57 comes down significantly, the FE model will be the better deal.
Also, many people said they turned their backs on the Galaxy A5X series after they lost the microSD slot – the A55 was the last model to do so. Samsung can always bring it back if it wants, but the general market trend is in the other direction.
What to say about Samsung Galaxy A37? More than half of the voters in our survey think there are better mid-rangers out there – for some that’s the A57, while others are considering other brands entirely.
In some regions, you can get a flagship killer equipped with a Snapdragon 8-series chip for the same price as the Galaxy A37, making it a fairly common mid-ranger non-starter.
Samsung’s Galaxy A phones have always sold better than tech enthusiasts thought – we have no doubt that a year from now, the A57 and A37 will have sold out in huge numbers. However, we can’t help but feel that Samsung is missing an opportunity to make its A-series even more popular.
