Why buy the Galaxy A57
- Feels like a flagship in the hand. At 6.9mm and 179g with glass on both sides and an aluminium frame, it is slimmer and lighter than many phones costing twice as much.
- IP68 for the first time on an A5x. It is rated for fresh water up to 1.5m for 30 minutes, a step up from the IP67 on earlier models.
- Updates into the 2030s. Starting on Android 16 with six major upgrades promised, it should stay supported longer than any earlier A-series model.
- Quick top-ups. 45W charging gets a flat battery to a usable level during a short break.
- A 512GB option. Useful if you shoot a lot of 4K video or download films and music for offline use.

| IP68 water and dust resistance | No memory card slot |
| Up to 6 Android upgrades from Android 16 | 5MP macro camera adds little |
| Bright 120Hz AMOLED screen | No charger in the box |
| 45W charging and 4K video | Small upgrade over the A56, which costs less |
Galaxy A57 vs Galaxy A56
| Galaxy A56 (2025) | Galaxy A57 (2026) | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Exynos 1580 | Exynos 1680 |
| Thickness / weight | 7.4mm / 198g | 6.9mm / 179g |
| Water resistance | IP67 | IP68 |
| Storage options | Up to 256GB | Up to 512GB |
| Android at launch | Android 15 | Android 16 |
| Cameras / battery / charging | Same: 50MP OIS + 12MP + 5MP, 5,000mAh, 45W | |
| Avechi price (8GB/128GB) | KSh 41,499 | KSh 43,499 |
Verdict: The A57 is a refinement rather than a reinvention. For KSh 2,000 more than the A56 you get a lighter body, IP68, a newer chip and one more year of updates. That small premium makes the A57 the better long-term buy, but A56 owners have little reason to upgrade.
Other phones to consider
- Samsung Galaxy A56 5G (from KSh 41,499): almost the same cameras and battery for a little less.
- Samsung Galaxy A37 5G (from KSh 36,999): a cheaper Samsung with the same long update support.
- Google Pixel 9a (from KSh 53,999): for the strongest point-and-shoot camera at this price, plus IP68 and up to seven Android upgrades.
- Nothing Phone (3a) (from KSh 38,199): adds a 2x telephoto camera and 50W charging, with a distinctive see-through design.
