The New Samsung Galaxy A57 - 10 Upgrades You Need to Know
The Samsung Galaxy A57 has dropped and here are 10 upgrades that Samsung has mades to the Galaxy A57 vs Galaxy A56 from last year! #Samsung #GalaxyA57
Samsung recently invited me for an early briefing on their latest release. This is the Galaxy A57, and there are ten major upgrades that you need to know about. Let’s dive in.
1. A Superior Display
The display has received a significant upgrade. Samsung has now equipped it with a Super AMOLED Plus panel featuring a 120Hz refresh rate. It offers 1,200 nits of brightness in High Brightness Mode, with an impressive peak brightness of 1,900 nits.
Samsung has also managed to shrink the bezels all the way around. Most noticeably, the bottom bezel is now 0.8mm thinner than its predecessor.
2. Significant Performance Boost
There has been a pretty significant performance boost this year thanks to the upgraded Exynos 1680 chipset. This is a four-nanometer, octa-core chip. The CPU performance is up by 12.5%, the GPU by 13.8%, and the NPU has seen a massive 42% jump.
Additionally, when it comes to random access memory, the LPDDR4 version has been leveled up from 5 to 5X.
3. Redesigned Camera Module
The camera module itself has undergone a very interesting redesign. It now features a clear, halo-like effect around the lenses, which looks great when the light hits it.
4. Advanced Photography (The ISP)
The camera performance has been leveled up thanks to the upgraded Image Signal Processor (ISP), which is part of the new chipset. One of the primary upgrades we can expect is enhanced low-light performance.
While it still features the 50-megapixel primary sensor with HDR and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), the shutter speed has been significantly reduced. This means when you press the shutter button—even in lower light conditions—the phone takes the photo incredibly fast, much quicker than before.
5. Macro and Ultra-Wide Improvements
The macro lens is 5 megapixels and there is a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, just like last year. however, you will see improvements in image quality thanks, again, to the upgraded ISP.
6. Battery, Charging, and Cooling
Here is something quite interesting: the battery capacity remains the same and the charging speed is still 45W. The difference this year is that the cable provided in the box finally supports the full 45W speed. Additionally, there is a new vapor cooling chamber that is 13% larger than before.
7. Lighter and Thinner Design
Something that will be instantly noticeable if you hold this and an A56 side-by-side is that the A57 is 19g lighter, despite having the same size battery.
This is another massive change this year: while you might not notice it immediately, the phone is 0.5mm thinner. It is also shorter and slimmer overall. In fact, this is the thinnest Galaxy A50-series phone to date.
8. Connectivity Upgrades
There has been a significant connectivity upgrade across the board. Wi-Fi 6 has been upgraded to Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3 has been upgraded to Bluetooth 6.0 on the A57.
I also really like the design of the frame; they have contoured the edge near the power button and volume rocker. The entire frame is aluminum, and the back is made of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus Plus.
9. Bixby 4.0 and Perplexity Integration
Something else new to the A57 is that Bixby has been upgraded to version 4.0. It now features Perplexity integration, which means you can ask Bixby to open an app, start your washing machine or dishwasher, or even check what is in your fridge. It can handle all of that seamlessly.
10. Long-Term Support and Storage
In true Samsung fashion, you get six years of security updates and six years of software updates, which means this device can go all the way up to Android 22.
Furthermore, the Galaxy A57 is the first phone in the A50-series in the UK to be available with 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.
Color Options
The color options available this year are:
Awesome Icy Blue: Which looks somewhat like white.
Awesome Lilac: Definitely the brightest color in the lineup.
Awesome Gray: My personal favorite.
Awesome Navy: An all-new addition for this year.
