Samsung unveils the Galaxy A57 and A37 middle-ranger phones!

Samsung has today launched the Galaxy A57 and A37 phones to more users worldwide! The new middle rangers, which promise to overpower the Galaxy A56 and A36, have been unveiled with improved AI features, specifications, and other promising aspects.

“Awesome Intelligence”, which promises AI features to more Galaxy devices outside the Galaxy S series line, has been expanded this year with more features on the Galaxy A57 and A37, including:

  • Voice Transcription: Transcribing the call recordings or lectures to text makes it easier for you to revisit important details.
  • AI Select: With a long press on the Edge Panel, AI Select is now easier to access. It also supports drag and drop in Multi-Window layout for more productivity.
  • Object Eraser: Removes unwanted objects and clutter from your photos.
  • Best Face: Introduced with the Galaxy S25 series, this feature allows you to select the best face for each person in the group photo in your Galaxy A57.
  • Auto Trim: Enables you to trim videos more quickly in your Galaxy A57.

The Galaxy A37 and A57 sport improved Image Signal Processor and camera sensors, with a versatile triple-camera system that features the 50 MP main sensor as the leading factor. This camera system delivers sharp photos that are detailed. Nightography has been improved to make the two devices adapt seamlessly to low-light conditions, allowing you to take great photos in such environments.

The subject recognition and scene optimization features for both phones have earned AI support, which preserve natural skin tones and create clear background separation. Ultra-wide lens capture more in landscape views and in group photos, while the 5MP macro camera reveals fine details for close-up shots.

When it comes to performance, Galaxy A57 excels at high performance with the upgraded CPU, GPU, and NPU! This delivers improved performance built for smooth streaming, scrolling, and content creation. The 5,000 mAh battery gives you up to two days of usage, along with Super Fast Charging 2.0 that lets your phone charge to 60% at around 30 minutes. The larger vapor chamber allows your phone to stay cold for longer for sustained performance during extended heavy sessions.

Both devices will be supported up to six generations of OS upgrades, and One UI 8.5 is installed by default, with six years of security updates to come. With the Galaxy A57, monthly updates are expected to give users more confidence about the security of their devices.

When it comes to availability, the two middle rangers will be launched on April 10th on select markets. On April 9th, both devices will be available in the USA with the following prices to list:

  • Galaxy A37: From $450
  • Galaxy A57: From $550

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold also enters One UI 8.5 beta testing in China

Samsung released the Galaxy Z TriFold foldable last year, and it was so impressive that it got sold out quickly multiple times, even after multiple restocking. While this device was an example of how innovation makes new, smart ideas, we are saddened to hear that the Galaxy Z TriFold sales have ended.

However, alongside the Galaxy S24, the Galaxy S24 FE/S25 FE, and the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip6, something unexpected happened.

Samsung has been reportedly testing the Galaxy Z TriFold’s One UI 8.5 beta version for the Chinese units, as spotted by Mohammed Khatri, with build F9680ZCU3ZZCB/F9680CHC3ZZCB/F9680ZCU3BZB5.

This sets out a new development for the One UI 8.5 software, which means that the tri-folding device will soon enter the Beta Program, at least in China.

Today has already been a big day for those who are owning all the mentioned devices for the One UI 8.5 beta program. This means that the stable rollout of One UI 8.5 may not start until April or May, should testing reveal positive results.

If Samsung opens the Beta Program for the Chinese Galaxy Z TriFold devices, we’ll let you know.

EXCLUSIVE: One UI 8.5 Beta forums for the Galaxy S24 FE + S25 FE spotted!

In an unexpected move, while Samsung is testing One UI 8.5 beta builds for the S24 and for the Galaxy Z Fold/Flip6 series, they have also considered testing the beta builds for the S24 FE and the S25 FE.

The below builds have been spotted according to Tarun Vats as mentioned in the above linked article:

  • S25 FE: S731NKSU5ZZCB
  • S24 FE: S721NKSUAZZCB

While those builds have been spotted, we have conducted further investigation, and we have spotted the One UI 8.5 beta forums for both the Galaxy S24 FE and the Galaxy S25 FE devices, at least in the USA forums!

This means that we are one step closer to Samsung opening the beta program for the Galaxy S25 FE and for the S24 FE devices.

Once the beta program actually opens, we’ll let you know.
