The annual refresh of the Galaxy A series has kicked off with the new A57 and A37 models. Today we are going to meet the Galaxy A57, which is now thinner and lighter and available in new “Awesome” colors.
The Galaxy A55 and the Galaxy A56 were some of the most solid mid-range phones specs-wise that had (and still have) super attractive prices that made them not only good competitors, but often winners. So, it’s only natural to expect the Galaxy A57 to be at least at the same level.
