Samsung is expected to unveil new Galaxy A series phones shortly after introducing its flagship Galaxy S26 lineup. Leaks around the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 have been picking up pace in recent weeks, and the latest one offers an early look at the design of the more premium model.

Images of the Galaxy A57 in a purple colorway have surfaced in a TENAA regulatory listing, giving us a glimpse of Samsung’s next-gen mid-range phone. While the overall design closely resembles last year’s Galaxy A56, the new model appears to feature a noticeably slimmer profile.

According to the listed specifications, the Galaxy A57 measures just 6.9mm thick and weighs 182 grams. By comparison, the Galaxy A56 is thicker at 7.6mm and tips the scales at 198 grams, suggesting Samsung has made meaningful refinements to both thickness and weight.

The images indicate no further changes on the outside, with the Galaxy A57 still expected to feature a glass back, an aluminum frame, and a triple camera setup on the back. However, a separate leak points to a couple of improvements on the inside.

Leaked specs point to a minor spec upgrade

According to a recent post from tipster Abhishek Yadav on X, the Galaxy A57 could feature a 6.6-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and pack Samsung’s Exynos 1680 chipset, up to 12GB RAM, and 256GB of onboard storage. The A57 is also slated to feature a 50MP+12MP+5MP triple camera setup on the back, along with a 12MP front-facing camera for selfies.

Samsung may also equip the phone with a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support, dual stereo speakers, and an optical in-display fingerprint scanner. On the software front, the phone is expected to run Android 16 out of the box. The device is expected to hit the shelves alongside the Galaxy A37 in March, though Samsung has yet to make an official announcement.
