Galaxy A57 Now on Sale in US, India Sales Set to Begin

Samsung is pitching six years of updates with an IP68 build to justify higher A‑series prices.

Overview

  • The Galaxy A57 is available in the USA at $549 with trade‑in discounts up to $180 and a $30 Samsung credit that can cover a basic case.
  • Samsung says regular sales in India start next, though reported prices conflict, with SamMobile citing ₹41,999 for A57 while Hindustan Times lists ₹56,999.
  • Core specs include a 6.7‑inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 1680 chip, a 5,000mAh battery with up to 45W charging, and One UI 8.5 with a promise of six Android version upgrades.
  • Early reviews note a thinner, lighter build with an aluminum frame and IP68 water resistance, smoother performance, and longer battery life versus the prior model.
  • The phone ships with a trimmed AI bundle called Awesome Intelligence rather than the full Galaxy AI suite, and reviewers flag preinstalled apps and setup prompts, while recommending the 50MP main camera for best photos.
