Samsung has announced the newest additions to its mid-range smartphone lineup, the Galaxy A57 and the Galaxy A37. Building on the features of their predecessors, the new models come with enhanced Awesome Intelligence capabilities.
Among the highlights is the new Voice Transcription tool in the Voice Recorder app. Existing features like Object Eraser, Best Face, and Circle to Search also get improvements. Additionally, users can choose between different AI agents, including Bixby and Gemini.
Aside from that, the slim phones promise better camera performance, particularly in low-light conditions. This is partly thanks to an improved Image Signal Processor (ISP), as well as AI-driven subject recognition and scene optimisation. For software, the duo runs on Android 16 via One UI 8.5 right out of the box. Much like the previous generation, these devices will get six OS upgrades, as well as six years’ worth of security updates.
