Changes from the preceding generation

The Galaxy A56 5G and A36 5G had been announced on March 2, 2025. Both already offered 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED displays with refresh rates up to 120Hz, 5,000mAh batteries and support for 45W charging. Samsung rated that pair IP67. Both also included stereo speakers. Its 2025 range also introduced a commitment to up to six generations of Android and One UI upgrades and six years of security updates.

The A56 used the Exynos 1580, while the A36 used Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 platform. Samsung’s dated predecessor specifications put the A56 at 7.4mm thick and 198 grams and the A36 at 7.4mm and 195 grams. The A57 therefore has a thinner, lighter body than the A56, while the A37 retains the A36’s stated thickness with a one-gram increase in listed weight.
