Leaked: Samsung Galaxy A57 and A37 launching February to March 2026
Early certifications hint at slimmer designs, longer software support, and a March rollout
Samsung’s mid-range lineup is set to expand in early 2026 with two new additions: the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37. While the Galaxy S26 series dominates headlines with its expected late February unveiling, leaked specifications suggest Samsung’s more affordable A-series phones could launch around the same timeframe, possibly arriving in Thailand by March 2026, following the company’s typical regional rollout pattern.
Recent certifications from China’s TENAA database have revealed nearly complete specifications for the Galaxy A57, while details on the A37 remain more limited.

Galaxy A57: Full specifications leaked
The Samsung Galaxy A57 has surfaced with model number SM-A5760, confirming 5G connectivity and revealing a device that’s surprisingly competitive with Samsung’s flagship lineup in certain aspects.
Display and design: The A57 will feature a 6.6-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution (2340 x 1080 pixels) and an in-display fingerprint scanner. But the standout specification is its thickness—just 6.9mm, matching the premium Galaxy S26. At 182 grams, it’s also lighter and more compact than its predecessor, the Galaxy A56, making it one of Samsung’s slimmest mid-range offerings to date.
Performance and storage: Under the display sits the Exynos 1680 processor, an octa-core chipset with clock speeds ranging from 1.95GHz to 2.9GHz. This represents Samsung’s traditional approach of using its in-house Exynos chips for regional variants. The A57 will come in two configurations:
- 8GB RAM + 256GB storage
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage
Notably, Samsung has doubled the base storage compared to typical mid-range phones, eliminating the 128GB entry option in favour of 256GB across both variants.
Software support: The device will ship with Android 16 and Samsung’s One UI 8 interface. More importantly, Samsung is guaranteeing six years of Android updates and security patches—a commitment that puts the A57 on par with Google’s Pixel lineup and ahead of most competitors in the mid-range segment.
Cameras: The camera system appears unchanged from the Galaxy A56:
- Front: 12MP selfie camera
- Rear: 50MP main sensor + 12MP ultra-wide + 5MP macro
While rumours suggest the ultra-wide may be upgraded to 13MP, TENAA documentation lists 12MP. The conservative camera setup indicates Samsung is prioritising other features over imaging improvements in this generation.
Battery and charging: The A57 packs a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support, confirmed by earlier TUV certifications. This combination has become standard in Samsung’s mid-range phones, offering all-day battery life with quick top-ups.

Galaxy A37: Limited information
Details on the smaller Galaxy A37 remain scarce. Speculation suggests that it will mirror its predecessor, with a similar design language and possibly adopt the same slim profile as the A57, although this hasn’t been confirmed through official certifications.
Expected features based on industry patterns:
- 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging
- Camera setup similar to or identical to the Galaxy A36
- Possible thickness reduction following the A57’s design direction
Without appearances in the TENAA or certification database, the A37’s complete specifications remain unclear. More leaks are expected as the launch date approaches.

Market context and pricing
Samsung’s timing makes strategic sense. While premium flagship phones typically grab attention, statistics consistently show the Galaxy A series outsells Samsung’s S-series devices. Industry analysts predict mid-range models will overtake premium segments in 2026 as consumers prioritise value over cutting-edge performance.
However, pricing may reflect current realities. Samsung has indicated that rising component costs could push prices higher than in previous generations. The A56 launched at competitive pricing, but the A57 and A37 may see modest increases to maintain margins.
Expectations for launch in Thailand
Based on Samsung’s historical release patterns, the Galaxy A57 and A37 will likely reach Thailand within weeks of their global announcement. Samsung typically launches A-series devices in March, making a late February or early March 2026 arrival in Thai retail channels probable. Previous A-series launches have followed this timeline, with devices appearing in major electronics retailers and carrier partnerships shortly after international unveiling.
The Thai market remains crucial for Samsung’s mid-range strategy, with the Galaxy A series consistently ranking among the country’s best-selling smartphones.
What to watch for
With the Galaxy A57’s specifications now nearly complete, attention turns to official confirmation and hands-on reviews. The 6.9mm thickness, six-year update commitment, and flagship-matching design suggest Samsung is elevating its mid-range offerings to compete more directly with Chinese competitors like Xiaomi and Realme.
The Galaxy A37’s full reveal will determine whether Samsung applies the same design philosophy across its entire mid-range lineup or reserves premium features for its larger sibling.
Official announcements are expected in February 2026, with retail availability following shortly after. Until then, these leaked specifications provide the clearest picture yet of Samsung’s mid-range strategy for the year ahead.
