The wheel of Samsung's mid-range it doesn't stop. Several internal clues suggest that the Samsung Galaxy A57 is already in developmentas a direct replacement for the popular Galaxy A56. Although there is still no official announcement, the first pieces are beginning to fit: presence again test firmwarereferences to a next generation Exynos chip and a calendar that would place it for 2026. In this article we bring together what is known and what makes sense to expect if Samsung wants to maintain the throne in the 400-500 euro range.
Before getting into the matter, it is worth remembering what has made the A56 strong: good screen and long autonomy, six years of updates and an effective camera, without frills. That's the bar the A57 will have to clear. The leaks point to a continuous path, but with important tweaks in performance, screen brightness and night photography, sections where the competition is tight.
A Galaxy A57 already in internal testing
The first signs of the project come in the form of model number (SM‑A576) and records of Firmware hosted on Samsung serversa typical indication that the device has moved to the validation phase. This type of technical trail usually appears several months – or even more than a year – before the announcement and, in series A, it translates into a trickle of details until its presentation.
Along with these records, mentions have emerged of a new Exynos 1680 for the mid-range, evolution of the Exynos 1580 from A56. The promise is not just more power: it is also better efficiency and one Xclipse GPU with more current graphics compatibility. If confirmed, it should be noticeable in games and in system AI tasks (translation, photo editing, summary generation) with lower consumption.
Screen, cameras and battery: which changes are most likely
Samsung's next A-series phone — Galaxy A57 (A576B) — has been spotted on Samsung's test server! 👀

Here it is reasonable to anticipate tangible, albeit prudent, improvements. Everything indicates that Samsung would maintain the format: 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 120Hzbut with higher maximum brightness for outdoors. In cameras, the reasonable script is to preserve the main sensor of 50 megapixels with better processing and a 12 megapixel ultra wide angle tuned in color and sharpness. The third sensor (macro or depth) would continue to fulfill its function.
In autonomy, the logical thing is to repeat 5000mAh with fast charging greater than 25 W and continue betting on One UI with a very long update support. If Samsung wants to differentiate itself, a jump to 45W It would make perfect sense because of the loading times and the competition with Chinese brands.
When could it arrive and how much would it cost?
The most cited calendar places the Galaxy A57 in the first half of 2026. Samsung has been pretty consistent with A-series launches, so it fits with a launch between March and May if there are no delays. In price, and seeing what happens in 2025, the range of 400 to 500 euros sounds realistic, with adjustments according to memory (8/128 GB or 8/256 GB) and connectivity.
A key replacement in the mid-range of Android
If the clues are consolidated, the Galaxy A57 will arrive with the challenge of improve what already works without raising the price: more brightness, better night camera, sustained performance and somewhat faster charges.
