Work has officially begun on the Galaxy A57, the newest member of Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy A5x series, one of the most popular models in the market. The device has been spotted on the brand’s internal test servers, signaling an imminent release. South Korean tech giant Samsung’s next Galaxy A-series phone, the Galaxy A57, has surfaced on the brand’s test servers with the model number SM-A576B.
Next-Generation Exynos Processor on the Way
According to a database image shared by a Twitter (X) user, the device is actively testing with its first internal software version, A576BXXU0AYJ7. This leak suggests that development of the Galaxy A57 is accelerating and the official launch is approaching.
The Galaxy A57 will be the direct successor to the segment’s leading player, the Galaxy A56. Given Samsung’s previous strategies, incremental and significant improvements are expected, rather than major changes, to the camera, design, and other key features.
The biggest clue about the Galaxy A57 was previously revealed on the GeekBench testing platform. The device was tested with a new Exynos chipset, model number S5E8865. This chipset is expected to be the Exynos 1680 SoC, developed by Samsung for the mid-range segment. The Exynos 1680 is expected to offer a significant leap in graphics performance compared to its predecessor, the Exynos 1580, particularly with a new GPU based on the AMD RDNA 3.5 architecture.
While the latest leak doesn’t reveal the device’s hardware details, the Galaxy A series standards and previous GeekBench data raise some expectations. A tall AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate is likely to provide a smooth user experience. A battery pack of around 5,000mAh is expected for power management, which has become standard.
Fast charging technology may be improved, allowing for 45W wired fast charging support. The main camera resolution is expected to remain around 50 megapixels, but sensor and software optimizations are expected to improve performance. The Samsung Galaxy A57, like previous A series models, is generally expected to be introduced in March or April.
