Hardware

Display

Similar to its predecessor, it features a 6.7 in (170 mm), with an Infinity-O Display, a 1080 x 2340 px resolution, 19.5:9 ratio (~385 ppi density), and 120Hz refresh rate. [4] The display type is upgraded to a SuperAMOLED+ display, which was last used on the Galaxy M54 5G and the Galaxy A73 5G. [5] The display reaches a peak brightness of 1,900 nits and includes Vision Booster. [6] [7]

Battery

It is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery and 45W Fast Charging (60% in 30 minutes), like its predecessors. [8] [9]

Processor and memory

The Galaxy A57 5G is powered by the 4 nm Exynos 1680 chipset, which features the Xclipse 550 graphics processing unit. [10] The Exynos 1680 features a neural processing unit (NPU) rated at 19.6 TOPS, compared to 14.7 TOPS on the Exynos 1580 in its predecessor. [11] The chipset is paired with a vapor chamber 13% larger than that of the Galaxy A56 5G. [12]

RAM options remain at 8 or 12 GB, while a 512 GB internal storage option is now offered (a first for the Galaxy A series), joining the existing 128 GB and 256 GB configurations. [13]

Camera

The camera setup (both front and rear) remains unchanged from its predecessor: 50 MP main with OIS, 12 MP ultrawide, 5 MP macro, and a 12 MP front camera. [14]
