The Galaxy A57 just showed up early, and Samsung fans may feel déjà vu

While we are waiting for Samsung to officially unveil the Galaxy S26 flagship lineup next month (probably on February 25), the tech giant is clearly not slowing down on its mid-range plans either. The upcoming Galaxy A57 has popped up online again, giving us an early look at what Samsung is cooking up next.

Galaxy A57 early certification details

Following the release pattern of the current Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36, the next generation is expected to launch around March this year. There has been some talk about a slightly earlier debut, but for now, March looks like the safest bet.

Ahead of that, the Galaxy A57 has appeared in China’s TENAA certification database, which revealed several key specs. And once again, the listing confirms what we were already expecting – Samsung is playing it safe this year, with no major changes on the table.

The biggest update could come from the chipset. The Galaxy A57 is expected to run on Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 1680 processor. Outside of that, most of the specs remain largely unchanged. Still, the Exynos 1680 should bring a noticeable performance bump, as it is rumored to be Samsung’s first mid-range Exynos chip built on a 3nm process. That could translate into better efficiency, lower heat output, and faster overall performance.

Now, aside from the chip inside, the Galaxy A57 might feature a triple rear camera system led by a 50 MP main sensor, paired with 12 MP and 5 MP secondary cameras. Up front, the phone is listed with a 12 MP selfie camera. This setup appears to be identical to the Galaxy A56, so while camera performance should be decent, it is unlikely to surprise anyone.
