The leaks got intense over the Eid Holidays. Apparently, the Galaxy A57 was found in another leaked hands-on video. It was a proper unboxing/review video from a YouTuber called Maruf Mirzayev. He showed the contents of the box and explained each and every specification we might possibly see on the Galaxy A57.
The new A series launch is just hours away now. They broke the silence and announced a live event on March 25th (today at 12 PM GMT or 5 PM Pakistani time). But we've hit a last-minute leak before they make the A57 official. A long-form video spilled all its secrets on YouTube. The channel owner who published the video is from Uzbekistan, so we had to translate the details.
The phone does run an Exynos 1680 chip. So the rumors we heard were true after all. The source ran a synthetic benchmark on it. Galaxy A57 was able to hit ~1.13 million points on AnTuTu, which is a bit lower than we’d hoped. But the newcomer does run PUBG on Extreme settings or 60 FPS. Yes, the YouTuber also included a gaming test.
Of course, it has the new One UI 8.5 on Android 16. So you will be getting some new features and UI tweaks. The content can be viewed on a 6.7” super AMOLED screen at 120Hz. Don’t get too excited about the screen, though, because it’s just the same old FHD+ panel with 1200nits brightness.
The bezels look slimmer than before, probably because it’s a flexible Super AMOLED. The thickness also went down on the A57. It’s just 6.9mm thin now. They’ve lowered it from Galaxy A56’s 7.4mm build. A Gorilla Glass Victus Plus will shield the screen.
Galaxy A57 now has a 13MP ultrawide camera (up from 12MP on the A56). There’s also a 50MP main unit here, next to a 5MP macro shooter. It can do 4K 30 FPS video or 1080p 60 FPS. They’ve worked on the image processing pipeline to squeeze more performance out of those revised cameras.
The battery hasn’t changed either. Galaxy A57 still has that same 5,000 mAh cell and 45W charging for refills. The newcomer is waterproof to some extent (IP67 rating). There’s either a 128GB Galaxy A57 version, which is priced north of $450. Or we may see a 256GB trim close to $485.
