New details have popped up regarding the Galaxy A37 and A57, indicating that launch may be imminent. Samsung's next mid-range lineup has appeared on multiple certification databases. While this often precedes an official debut, the exact release date is still under wraps.

IMDA certification suggests launch is just around the corner

According to Gizmochina, the Galaxy A37 (model SM-A376B/DS) and the Galaxy A57 (model SM-A576B/DS) have appeared on Singapore's IMDA certification website, suggesting a launch is imminent.

Historically, IMDA listings appear just weeks before a device hits the shelves. Based on Samsung's release timeline for the Galaxy A3X and the A5X models, a March announcement actually fits the bill. Even an earlier release date might not be out of the question.

Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57: a real upgrade?

New phone releases also bring out a certain level of excitement, but do the Galaxy A57 and A37 deliver enough upgrades to make them worth waiting for?

Rumors have indicated the upcoming Galaxy devices might feature incremental design upgrades, possibly slimmer bezels, and possibly a thinner profile. The Galaxy A57 is also expected to pack a 6.7-inch AMOLED display and an Exynos 1680 chip.

In comparison, the Galaxy A56 packs a 6.7-inch screen, a 50MP main camera, and an Exynos 1580 chip. Clearly, the difference between these devices won't be massive. Then again, if it's well optimized, the A57 might actually feel like a big step up from its predecessor.

What about the Galaxy A37? Some leaks indicate that it might feature the same display size as last year's option: 6.7 inches. We also expect either an Exynos 1480 chip or a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 under the hood. Reports indicate a camera upgrade is also possible, with a focus on sensor quality instead of megapixel changes.

Display: 6.7-inch, AMOLED

Camera: 50MP main rear sensor
OS: Android 16 out of the box

Is a price increase on the way?

The Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 certainly won't break new ground. But with small (but hopefully meaningful) changes, the upcoming devices may actually make a worthwhile option. For users with a Galaxy A53 device, for instance, one of these upcoming Samsung phones will certainly be a worthwhile pick.

Then again, it all depends on price. To truly succeed, the upcoming devices shouldn't come with a big price increase.
