Before Samsung could send out the official press release, the internet seemed to have ripped open the Galaxy A57 5G box, revealing the phone’s colors and design ahead of its official launch (via SamMobile).
Unboxing videos for the Galaxy A57 5G as well as the Galaxy A37 5G have been uploaded on TikTok (by Sawitri Kulwarissaranan). The first thing shown in the videos is the minimalist retail packaging for the smartphones, each with the name of the phone written on it.
What do the hands-on videos reveal?
The unboxing videos show the Galaxy A57 5G in purple and the Galaxy A37 in gray. Both handsets feature a glass and metal construction with a triple rear camera setup. Additionally, it runs One UI 8.5 out of the box, which is based on Android 16.
The Galaxy A57 5G is priced at THB 17,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant, which is about $554, while the 12GB + 512GB variant costs THB 20,999. Meanwhile, the Galaxy A37 5G 8GB + 256GB costs 13,999 THB, about $430.
According to a recent report by Android Headlines citing tipster Alfatürk, who shared the Galaxy A57’s internal hardware images, the handset features a significantly larger vapor chamber.
The Galaxy A57 could be a cool phone in every sense of the word
This could be an important improvement for heat dissipation, especially during intense multitasking or gaming sessions.
Despite the better vapor chamber, the Galaxy A57 could only be 6.9 mm thick and weigh 179 grams. In other words, the phone could be exceptionally thin and light and still maintain peak performance over an extended period of time.
To achieve this, Samsung is reportedly using a gradation pad and mirror print surface on the back, as well as the signature “Key Island” design for the power and volume buttons (on the side). The phone could also feature slimmer bezels that complement a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display.
