Samsung Galaxy A57 5G
A well-built, long-lasting mid-ranger whose price increases have eroded its value.

Our verdict
The Galaxy A57 brings an IP68 rating, a large 6.7-inch AMOLED screen and many of the S26's Galaxy AI features to Samsung's upper mid-range. Tom's Guide praised its battery life and premium-feeling design but found performance weak and criticized the return of a low-value 5MP macro camera. Samsung's list price has risen from $549.99 at launch to $599.99, which puts it against the Pixel 10a.

- Premium build with IP68 rating
- Large 6.7-inch AMOLED display
- Six years of OS upgrades
What's not
