Samsung has announced the Galaxy A37 5G and Galaxy A57 5G, replacing the A36 and A56, respectively. The new models are mostly similar to the models they replace, and similar to each other, for that matter. One upgrade is an IP68 dust/water rating (up from IP67 last year). Both have a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and up to 120 Hz refresh. Both have a 5,000 mAh battery, 50 megapixel main camera, wide camera, macro camera, and 12 megapixel front camera. Samsung is switching from a Snapdragon processor to one of its own Exynos chips in the A37, while the A57 is powered by a higher-end Exynos chip. While the A37 is the same size as the A36, the A57 is slightly smaller (in every dimension) than the A56, which also means slimmer bezels around the display. On the software side, Samsung is adding Voice Transcription to the Voice Recorder app, and the company promises "more natural results" with its AI-powered Object Eraser photo-editing tool. Samsung promises six years of software updates for both phones. Both phones launch in the US on April 9th. The A37 will come to numerous US carriers in a charcoal color. It will also be available unlocked, starting at $450, in charcoal or lavender. Best Buy will carry an exclusive "Graygreen" color while Amazon will offer an exclusive white color. Like the A56, it appears that the A57 will only be sold in the US as an unlocked phone from Samsung, in navy, starting at $550.
