Samsung Galaxy A57 reportedly selling at an effective price of Rs 44,999 offline
The Samsung Galaxy A57 (review) is the company’s upper mid-range smartphone, with a sticker price of Rs 56,999 for the base 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. However, it seems that the smartphone is selling in the offline market for as low as Rs 44,999. Reliable tipster Sanju Chaudhary claims that the reduced price on the smartphone is attributed to the Rs 7,000 instant and Rs 4,000 store discounts. That’s a substantial drop of Rs 11,000 on the Samsung Galaxy A57, which was launched a couple of months ago.
The tipster, however, did not reveal whether the discount is available across India or limited to select regions or retail stores. That said, the Galaxy A57 is not the only smartphone currently seeing steep offline discounts. It was recently reported that the Vivo X300 FE was retailing for around Rs 61,999 in offline stores, down from its launch price and the online price of Rs 79,999.

Unlike the Vivo smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy A57 can also be purchased at a discounted price online. E-commerce platforms, Amazon.in, and Flipkart, have listed the handset with a flat discount of Rs 7,000 across variants.

Should you buy the Samsung Galaxy A57?
The Samsung Galaxy A57 is a balanced offering aimed at users who prioritise design, customisable UI, and long-term usability over raw power. Key specs of the smartphone include:
- 6.57-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate
- Exynos 1680 SoC
- 50MP main + 12MP ultrawide + 5MP macro rear cameras
- 12MP front camera
- 5,000mAh battery, 45W wired charging
- Android 16-based OneUI 8
The handset comes with upgraded performance, durability, and fast charging speeds compared to its predecessor. The Samsung Galaxy A57 also focuses on longevity, offering six years of OS and security updates. Despite packing a large battery, the handset remains slim at just 6.9mm thick and weighs 179 grams, making it comfortable to use for extended periods.
While its price-to-performance ratio may not be the most aggressive in the sub-Rs 50,000 segment, the handset delivers a more balanced overall experience instead of excelling in just one area. Take the POCO X8 Pro, for instance. It offers stronger raw performance, but leaves wanting more in cameras.
Where should you buy it from?
While the Samsung Galaxy A57 is available at a discounted price online, it is not as lucrative as the offline offer. Even if you apply the Amazon Pay ICICI Bank Credit Card cashback while checking out, it will only reduce the price of the base variant to as low as Rs 47,500. Interestingly, the Awesome Lilac colour variant of the smartphone is selling on Amazon.in at just Rs 45,870 for the base configuration.
It still doesn’t beat the offline discount, making the purchase from the nearby store a better option if you manage to get that additional Rs 4,000 off. Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed any such discount on the Samsung Galaxy A57 yet.
