Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy A57 and A37 energy labels point to significantly longer bat
Energy labels have appeared for the Samsung Galaxy A37 and A57. This is notable because Samsung has not yet announced either device. The listings suggest an imminent announcement and reveal specifications, including battery details.
For example, the energy label of the Galaxy A57 improves to Label A. Its predecessor, the A56, has a B label. Battery life is also significantly longer, increasing from 44 hours and 34 minutes to 52 hours. While that duration may not be achieved in practice, it suggests a longer battery life than last year.
All this comes at the expense of the number of charging cycles before capacity drops below 80%. That figure drops from 2,000 to 1200. This is in line with many other smartphones. Like last year, drop protection and repairability are the same, though the IP rating increases from IP67 to IP68. This makes the A57 more water-resistant, allowing for submersion up to 1.5 meters.
The move from IP67 to IP68 brings the A-Series closer to the specifications of the high-end S26-Series, strengthening its mid-range competitiveness.
Galaxy A37 makes biggest leap in battery efficiency
The Samsung Galaxy A37 makes an even bigger leap on the energy ladder, jumping from Label C to Label A. There is also a significant jump in battery life. For example, the A37 promises up to 53 hours on a single charge. This is based on inactivity, however, so it is not very realistic. But since the A36 scored 41 hours and 28 minutes here, we expect significantly longer battery life.
The Galaxy A37 further scores a C on repairability and the battery lasts 1200 cycles before capacity drops to 80%. The IP rating also matches the A57 at IP68, also an increase from last year. However, the risk of fall damage is slightly higher than with the A57, possibly due to the use of less sturdy display glass.
The appearance of energy labels in the EU's EPREL database indicates that both phones will be announced soon. The exact date is still unknown, but Samsung likely wants to maintain focus on the recently announced Galaxy S26 series for a while before these cheaper models are announced. This matches earlier rumors of a March launch.
