Samsung appears ready to expand its mid-range lineup in Pakistan with the upcoming arrival of the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37. While the company has not confirmed an exact launch date, both models are expected to enter the local market soon. These new additions bring modest upgrades, with most improvements focused on software and performance rather than major hardware changes.
Samsung Galaxy A57
The Galaxy A57 introduces Samsung’s new Exynos 1680 chip, built on a 4nm process. It includes the Xclipse 550 iGPU and a faster main core. As a result, performance should feel smoother in daily use. The NPU reaches 19.6 TOPS, which improves AI-related tasks.
Samsung has also improved cooling. The A57 now features a 13% larger vapor chamber, which helps during long gaming sessions. At the same time, the phone becomes slimmer at 6.9mm, compared to 7.4mm on the Galaxy A56. It is also 20 grams lighter. Despite this, Samsung upgrades the water resistance to IP68.
The battery remains 5000mAh, and there is still no charger in the box. However, 45W charging support allows the phone to reach 60% in 30 minutes. Storage options start at 8GB RAM with 128GB storage. Users can also choose 8/256GB, 12/256GB, or 12/512GB variants.
On the front, the Galaxy A57 keeps its 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display. It offers 1080p FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung trims the bezels slightly, but the panel remains mostly unchanged. Brightness stays at 1200 nits HBM, and protection may include Gorilla Glass Victus+.
Camera hardware remains familiar. The phone uses a 50MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture. It also includes a 12MP ultrawide lens and a 5MP macro sensor. For selfies, there is a 12MP front camera. Samsung focuses more on software tuning this time. The Galaxy A57 is expected to start at $550, which is around PKR 144,999.
Samsung Galaxy A37
The Galaxy A37, on the other hand, brings fewer changes. Samsung replaces the chipset with the Exynos 1480, which previously appeared in the Galaxy A55. It runs at 2.75GHz and includes the Xclipse 530 GPU. The phone also ships with Android 16 and One UI 8.5.
Unlike the A57, the A37 starts with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. It goes up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The design remains unchanged, with a 7.4mm plastic body weighing 196 grams. Bezels are still thick, and the chin is not uniform. However, Samsung upgrades water resistance to IP68.
Battery capacity stays at 5000mAh, with support for 45W charging. The phone can reach 60% charge in 30 minutes or less. The camera setup is mostly similar to the A57. However, the ultrawide sensor drops to 8MP, while the rest remains the same.
The Galaxy A37 also features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display. It offers 1080p resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 1200 nits of brightness. However, the panel is slightly less premium compared to the A57. Both devices include an in-display optical fingerprint sensor and promise 6 years of OS updates.
In terms of pricing, the Galaxy A37 is more affordable. It is expected to start at $450, which is around PKR 124,999.
