Samsung Galaxy A57 5G Full Review, Official Specs & Price in Pakistan (2026)

Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy A57 5G, the latest addition to its beloved Galaxy A series and one of the most anticipated mid-range smartphones of 2026. With a focus on making premium features accessible to everyday users, the Galaxy A57 5G brings a host of meaningful upgrades over its predecessor — from a slimmer and sleeker design to a more powerful Exynos 1680 chipset, an improved triple-camera system with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), and deep integration of Samsung's Awesome Intelligence AI features.

For smartphone buyers in Pakistan, the Galaxy A57 5G arrives as a strong contender in the mid-range segment, offering flagship-adjacent capabilities at a far more approachable price point. This article covers everything you need to know — verified from Samsung's official website — including the full specification sheet, camera highlights, AI features, battery performance, and the expected Samsung Galaxy A57 5G price in Pakistan.

Samsung Galaxy A57 5G — Official Specifications

Design & Build Quality

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G represents a meaningful design evolution for the Galaxy A series. Samsung has trimmed the profile to just 6.9mm — making it slimmer than the previous model — while also reducing overall weight to keep it comfortable for single-handed use. The redesigned camera bump on the rear features an elegant translucent effect that elevates the look of the Triple Camera system and gives the phone a distinctive, premium aesthetic.

Front and rear are both protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+, offering enhanced drop and scratch resistance. It is worth noting that the rear glass protection does not extend to the camera glass itself. The frame is also covered, though volume keys and the SIM tray are excluded. The phone achieves an IP68 rating, meaning it can withstand submersion in up to 1.5 metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes — a genuine upgrade over IP67 and something rarely found at this price segment.

The Galaxy A57 5G is available in four stylish colours: Awesome Navy, Awesome Lilac, Awesome Icyblue, and Awesome Gray. Color and model availability may vary by country and carrier. 

Display

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G features a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED Plus display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth, fluid visuals — whether you are scrolling through social media, watching a video, or gaming. Samsung's Vision Booster technology ensures the screen remains clearly visible in bright outdoor environments by intelligently adjusting brightness and contrast. The bezels around the display have been slimmed down compared to the previous model, creating a more immersive viewing experience. The screen is measured diagonally at 6.7 inches in the full rectangle, with the actual viewable area being slightly smaller due to rounded corners and the front camera hole-punch cutout. The display has also received Eye Care Certification from SGS for its ability to reduce the harmful effects of blue light. 

Performance & Chipset

At the heart of the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G is the Exynos 1680 — a 4nm octa-core processor that delivers CPU and GPU performance up to 15% improved compared to the Galaxy A56. This translates to noticeably snappier app launches, smoother multitasking, and a better gaming experience. Whether you are playing graphic-intensive titles or juggling multiple apps, the A57 5G handles it all without missing a beat.

The upgraded LPDDR5X memory ensures faster data access speeds, giving the phone a boost when switching between demanding applications. Samsung has also incorporated a larger vapour chamber into the design for improved thermal management, preventing the device from overheating even during prolonged gaming or video recording sessions. The Galaxy A57 5G is available in two storage options: 128GB and 256GB, both paired with 8GB of RAM. There is no microSD card slot.

Camera System

Photography is where the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G truly shines. The upgraded triple rear camera system is built around a 50MP OIS Wide-angle Camera — the OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) being a key addition over earlier models, significantly reducing blur caused by hand movement when shooting photos or recording videos.

Rear Camera Breakdown

•        50MP OIS Wide-angle Camera — captures sharp, detailed photos with natural colours; supports enhanced ISP for improved Nightography

•        12MP Ultra Wide Camera — expands the field of view to include more of your surroundings in a single shot; also features AI Segmentation for studio-grade portrait photography

•        5MP Macro Camera — perfect for close-up shots of flowers, textures, and fine details

Front Camera

The 12MP front camera supports Super HDR, which enhances saturation, colour, and contrast in selfie videos — ideal for live streaming or vlogging. Whether you are shooting in bright daylight or a dimly lit room, the front camera delivers vibrant, ready-to-share results. The Best Face feature allows the camera to analyse multiple continuous shots and combine the most flattering expression of each person in a group photo into one perfect image.

Nightography

Samsung's Nightography technology has been further optimised on the Galaxy A57 5G. The Wide Camera's enhanced ISP processes images faster, resulting in clearer details and less blur in low-light conditions. The 1.0um big pixels on the camera sensor absorb more ambient light, producing brighter, true-to-life videos even in near-dark environments. This makes the A57 5G one of the best camera phones in its class for nighttime photography.

Awesome Intelligence: AI Features

The Galaxy A57 5G comes packed with Samsung's Awesome Intelligence suite — a collection of on-device and cloud-assisted AI tools that make everyday tasks smarter and easier. All of the following features are officially confirmed on Samsung's product page:

•        Object Eraser — select and remove unwanted distractions from photos; the AI automatically fills in the background naturally, even improving textures and reducing blur around the removed area

•        Edit Suggestion — analyses your photos and suggests improvements such as background blur, resolution remastering, shadow and reflection removal, and GIF remastering

•        Best Face — analyses a group Motion Photo and lets you swap in the best expression for each person in the frame

•        My Filter — create and apply personal filters to your photos before sharing

•        Auto Trim — intelligently edits your videos to create highlight reels with minimal effort

•        Circle to Search with Google — circle any object on your screen to instantly search for it online; supports multi-object recognition including clothing items from head to toe

•        Voice Transcription — transcribes voice notes and calls with AI-powered accuracy

It is worth noting that a Samsung Account login may be required to access certain Awesome Intelligence features, and availability may vary by region and One UI version. 

Battery & Charging

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G is equipped with a 5,000mAh (typical) battery — with a rated (minimum) capacity of 4,905mAh. Samsung has designed the A57 5G for all-day use, and this has been independently verified: UX Connect Research assessed battery life between January 8–18, 2026, in the UK using a pre-release unit under default settings on both LTE and 5G Sub-6 networks. The results confirmed a full day of typical usage on a single charge.

When it is time to recharge, the Galaxy A57 5G supports Super Fast Charging 2.0 at 45W, capable of charging the battery up to 60% in just 30 minutes. The 45W charger is sold separately and must be a Samsung-approved charger to achieve these speeds. Wireless charging is not supported.

Final Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy A57 5G is one of the strongest mid-range smartphones Samsung has ever produced. The combination of a slim IP68-rated design, a bright 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, a triple-camera system now featuring OIS on the main sensor, Nightography-optimised low-light performance, a powerful Exynos 1680 chipset, and a six-year software update commitment makes it a genuinely compelling package.

For buyers in Pakistan, the Galaxy A57 5G offers an exceptional balance of performance, durability, camera quality, and long-term value. It comfortably outclasses the Galaxy A56 on nearly every metric, and the IP68 rating and OIS camera put it ahead of several rivals in the same price bracket. The absence of a microSD slot and an in-box charger are legitimate drawbacks, but they do not overshadow what is otherwise an impressive device.
