Fresh renders offer an early preview of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A37, and they line up perfectly with what we’ve already seen from leaks around the Galaxy A57.

Familiar design continues across Samsung’s mid-range lineup

Samsung isn’t just gearing up for its next flagship launch. Alongside the Galaxy S25 series expected next month, the company is also preparing its next wave of mid-range phones, with the Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 likely landing later in Q1, probably in March.

Newly surfaced renders of both models show that Samsung is clearly sticking to its established Galaxy A design language. In fact, at first glance, the upcoming phones look nearly identical to the Galaxy A56 and even earlier generations. If you were hoping for a bold visual refresh, this isn’t it.

The Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 appear almost identical again, which isn’t surprising given how closely Samsung usually positions these two models. The main visual difference is around the bezels. The Galaxy A37 seems to have noticeably thicker borders around the display compared to the A57, making the higher-end model look a bit more modern. The leaked A37 renders show the phone in a soft lavender color.

This is how the Galaxy A37 should look.

Both devices feature a triple rear camera setup arranged vertically, a flat front display with a centered punch-hole camera, and flat sides all around. The only interruption to the flat frame is Samsung’s familiar “key island” on the right side for the buttons.

We’ve already seen the Galaxy A57 in earlier leaks, and those hinted at a slightly slimmer profile. The phone is rumored to measure around 6.9 mm thick, making it roughly half a millimeter thinner than the Galaxy A56. Beyond that, don’t expect dramatic physical changes. New color options could arrive, but nothing is confirmed yet.

Specs look steady, with predictable upgrades under the hood

When it comes to hardware, the story stays pretty conservative. Both phones are expected to get updated chipsets, which is really the main upgrade this year.

The Galaxy A57 is rumored to debut with Samsung’s Exynos 1680 processor, while the Galaxy A37 may reuse the Exynos 1480, the same chip found in the Galaxy A55. Outside of that, most of the specs are expected to carry over from the current generation.

Camera hardware, in particular, looks unchanged.

Galaxy A57 expected camera setup:

50 MP main camera
12 MP ultrawide
5 MP macro

Galaxy A37 expected camera setup:

50 MP main camera
8 MP ultrawide
5 MP macro

Battery capacity should remain at 5,000mAh for both models, paired with 45W fast charging. Displays are also expected to stay the same, with no major upgrades rumored on that front either.

If Samsung keeps reusing the same Galaxy A design, I will:

My take: familiar, safe, and probably effective

If you are in the market for a new mid-range phone, keeping an eye on the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 still makes sense. No, these phones don’t look exciting on paper, and yes, the upgrades seem minimal compared to their predecessors.

That said, Samsung’s Galaxy A lineup continues to sell extremely well for a reason. The combination of decent performance, reliable hardware, competitive pricing, and long-term software support clearly works. Samsung promises up to six years of software and security updates for its mid-range devices, which is still a big deal in this price range.

Instead of chasing flashy changes, Samsung seems focused on refining what already sells. And while that might feel boring for tech enthusiasts, it’s a strategy that clearly resonates with buyers who just want a dependable phone without paying flagship prices.
