Specifications
Design Similar to its predecessor, it continues to feature an aluminum frame and a glass back (protected with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+). For the first time in the Galaxy A series since the release of the Galaxy A8 (2018), the device now has an IP68 rating, up from the IP67 on its predecessors.

Display Similar to its predecessor, it features a , with an Infinity-O Display, a 1080 x 2340 px resolution, 19.5:9 ratio (~385 ppi density), and 120Hz refresh rate. The display type is upgraded to a SuperAMOLED+ display, which was last used on the Galaxy M54 5G and the Galaxy A73 5G. The display reaches a peak brightness of 1,900 nits and includes Vision Booster. Alongside the upgrade to its display type, it is also the first Galaxy A device to have a display panel that comes from CSOT Display (a Chinese display maker), as opposed to Samsung Display used on its predecessors, resulting in thinner bezels.
Battery It is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery and 45W Fast Charging (60% in 30 minutes), like its predecessors.
Processor and memory The Galaxy A57 5G is powered by the 4 nm Exynos 1680 chipset, which features the Xclipse 550 graphics processing unit. The Exynos 1680 features a neural processing unit (NPU) rated at 19.6 TOPS, compared to 14.7 TOPS on the Exynos 1580 in its predecessor. The chipset is paired with a vapor chamber 13% larger than that of the Galaxy A56 5G.
RAM options remain at 8 or 12 GB, while a 512 GB internal storage option is now offered (an overall first for the Galaxy A series), joining the existing 128 GB and 256 GB configurations. Also similar to its predecessor is the use of UFS 3.1 internal storage type, and the absence of the microSD card slot.
Camera The camera setup (both front and rear) remains unchanged from its predecessor: 50 MP main with OIS, 12 MP ultrawide, 5 MP macro, and a 12 MP front camera. While it maintained the camera setup, it includes improvements when switching between ultrawide and main cameras, similar to the mechanism used on the Galaxy S devices. Software The Galaxy A57 5G, like the Galaxy A37 5G, has Android 16 with One UI 8.5 pre-installed, being the second set of Galaxy devices to have One UI 8.5 pre-installed. Like its predecessor, it is supported for 6 OS upgrades and 6 years of security updates (until 2032).
