Why the significant price increase?

Analysts had warned that lower-end and mid-range phones would see proportionally higher price increases in 2026 due to rising global chip and memory costs affecting all device categories, not just flagships.

What's the key difference between A37 and A57?

The core difference is the processor: the A37 uses Exynos 1480 while the A57 uses the newer Exynos 1680 with better thermal management and GPU performance.The A57 also adds Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6.0, aluminum-and-glass construction, and IP67 water resistance.

Is there a microSD card slot?

Almost certainly not — Samsung removed the microSD slot from the A36 and A56, and nothing in the leaks suggests it's returning in 2026.

Do either phones support wireless charging?

Wireless charging appears absent on both models, with 45W wired charging being the only option.

How do they stack up against the competition?

At launch, both phones will face direct competition from the iPhone 17e, Pixel 10a, and Nothing Phone (4a).The price hike makes comparisons sharper, particularly as rivals offer compelling features in the same bracket.
