Samsung Galaxy A57, Galaxy A37 launch nears as both phones get IMDA certification
Shortly after Samsung launches its flagship Galaxy S26 series, we may see more phones from the brand in the upper mid-range segment. We’re talking about the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37, the two upcoming phones from Samsung’s popular A-series. Both phones have been rumoured for some time, with their renders and specs leaked, and now an IMDA certification suggests an imminent launch. A March 2026 launch might be on the cards as their predecessors, the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36, also debuted around the same time.
The Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 have appeared on Singapore’s IMDA certification website with the model numbers SM-A576B/DS and A376B/DS, respectively. The listing doesn’t reveal any specs, but it does confirm the phones’ arrival in the country, signalling a very close launch. It also adds to previous certifications like China’s TENAA and the Google Play Console database, all pointing towards a launch soon.

According to previous leaks and rumours, the Galaxy A57, which will be the top-end model in the lineup, is tipped to feature a 6.6-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone could be powered by the new Exynos 1680, an octa-core chipset with clock speeds of up to 2.9GHz. It might retain the same 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support.
It could be a triple camera setup on the Galaxy A57 with a 50MP primary sensor paired with 12MP and 5MP sensors. For selfies, the smartphone could house a 12MP front camera. This is a similar setup to the Galaxy A56, but we could see some sensor changes or software upgrades.
The Galaxy A37 would be the more affordable variant of the two. It’s tipped to use the Exynos 1480 chipset, the same one as the Galaxy A55 from 2024. We’ll have to see how this makes a difference in terms of performance, as the Galaxy A36 used the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. The Galaxy A37 could also house a triple camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 5MP macro lens. The battery might also be the same with a 5,000mAh + 45W charging setup.
Both phones will most likely launch with Android 16-based with One UI 8.5 out of the box, and possibly get up to six or seven years of updates. This would give the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 an edge over rivals in terms of software experience and longevity.
Based on the leaked specs, we can expect upgrades in terms of performance on both the Galaxy A57 and A37. Since details aren’t official yet, we can’t immediately say what the upgrades could be and whether we can recommend upgrading to the phones just yet. Samsung seems to follow the same strategy, where it’s not going heavy on specs like rival brands but might instead focus on AI features, a versatile camera setup, and long-term software support. If you have been thinking of upgrading to the Galaxy A57 or A37, we’d suggest waiting for reviews to see if there are any big changes or marginal updates.
