In this current era, particularly amidst the backdrop of global memory shortages, tech companies have two main choices when it comes to annual upgrades. One is to keep prices the same, albeit with some hardware compromises. The other is to increase prices but make some tangible upgrades to justify the higher cost. With the new Galaxy A57 and A37 phones, Samsung opted for the latter.
Both phones are $50 more expensive than their respective predecessors. Australians will pay $749 for the base Galaxy A57 model, and $599 for the A37. However, the mid-range phones don’t contain a mere processor upgrade and call it a day. Particularly with the A57, the changes are more wholesale.
Both phones have thinner bezels at the top and bottom, providing more available screen real estate. Compared to the Galaxy A56, the A57 is nearly 20 grams lighter and has been slimmed down to a svelte 6.9mm thick.
As you’d expect from a yearly upgrade, both phones process faster than their predecessors, running on Samsung’s in-house Exynos chipsets. Arguably, the Galaxy A37 gets the biggest processing improvement, benefitting from an upgrade to faster LPDDR5X memory.
According to Samsung, a combination of processor and software improvements equates to substantial battery life gains. Even though each phone houses a fairly standard 5,000mAh battery, the Galaxy A37 has an estimated 59-hour battery life, while the A57 gets up to 66 hours between charges.
Camera improvements also come to the new A-series handsets. Between the two phones, larger pixel sensor sizes, better image processing, and faster response times between taking photos are the main upgrades.
Each phone getting six years of software and security updates is among the best post-launch support for phones in this price range. The Samsung Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 launch in Australia on 10 April.
