Specifications
Design
Similar to its predecessor, it continues to feature an aluminum frame and a glass back (protected with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+).[2] For the first time in the Galaxy A series since the release of the Galaxy A8 (2018), the device now has an IP68 rating, up from the IP67 on its predecessors.[3] It also brings a much thinner and lighter build (at 6.9 mm and 179g), compared to its predecessor (at 7.4 mm and 198g).[4]

Hardware
Display
Similar to its predecessor, it features a 6.7 in (170 mm), with an Infinity-O Display, a 1080 x 2340 px resolution, 19.5:9 ratio (~385 ppi density), and 120Hz refresh rate.[5] The display type is upgraded to a SuperAMOLED+ display, which was last used on the Galaxy M54 5G and the Galaxy A73 5G.[6] The display reaches a peak brightness of 1,900 nits and includes Vision Booster.[7][8] Alongside the upgrade to its display type, it is also the first Galaxy A device to have a display panel that comes from CSOT Display (a Chinese display maker), as opposed to Samsung Display used on its predecessors.[9]
Battery
It is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery and 45W Fast Charging (60% in 30 minutes), like its predecessors.[10][11]
Processor and memory
The Galaxy A57 5G is powered by the 4 nm Exynos 1680 chipset, which features the Xclipse 550 graphics processing unit.[12] The Exynos 1680 features a neural processing unit (NPU) rated at 19.6 TOPS, compared to 14.7 TOPS on the Exynos 1580 in its predecessor.[13] The chipset is paired with a vapor chamber 13% larger than that of the Galaxy A56 5G.[14]
RAM options remain at 8 or 12 GB, while a 512 GB internal storage option is now offered (a first for the Galaxy A series), joining the existing 128 GB and 256 GB configurations.[15]
Camera
The camera setup (both front and rear) remains unchanged from its predecessor: 50 MP main with OIS, 12 MP ultrawide, 5 MP macro, and a 12 MP front camera.[16] While it maintained the camera setup, it includes improvements when switching between ultrawide and main cameras, similar to the mechanism used on the Galaxy S devices.[17]
Software
The Galaxy A57 5G, like the Galaxy A37 5G, has Android 16 with One UI 8.5 pre-installed, being the second set of Galaxy devices to have One UI 8.5 pre-installed.[18] Like its predecessor, it is supported for 6 OS upgrades and 6 years of security updates (until 2032).[19]
