The Samsung Galaxy A57 has quietly stepped out of the shadows, with a detailed TENAA certification laying bare its design, core hardware and camera setup long before any launch event. The listing, paired with fresh images and spec breakdowns, paints a picture of a midrange phone that leans hard into a slim frame, a sizeable AMOLED display and a familiar triple camera formula. Taken together, the filings suggest Samsung is tightening its grip on the upper mid tier rather than trying to reinvent it.
What stands out most is how cohesive the story already looks: a 6.6-inch class screen, a new Exynos chip, a 50-megapixel main camera and a battery sized for all‑day use, all wrapped in a surprisingly thin chassis. I see a device that aims to feel more premium in the hand than its price tag will likely suggest, while still ticking the practical boxes that define the Galaxy A line.
Design: thin frame, vertical cameras and a lavender push
The clearest takeaway from the TENAA images is that Samsung is treating the Galaxy A57 as a design showcase for its midrange catalog. The phone appears with a shockingly thin frame that hugs the edges of the flat display, giving it a sharper, more angular profile than older A‑series models. The certification photos also highlight a soft lavender hue that pushes the device closer to the pastel palette usually reserved for higher‑end models, a choice that becomes obvious once you look closely at the TENAA images credited to Jay Bonggolto and Jan.
On the back, the camera cluster sticks with a vertical layout, but the housing is integrated into what is described as a key island design that subtly raises the camera strip from the rear panel. That layout, combined with the slim profile, gives the Samsung Galaxy A57 a cleaner silhouette than many budget rivals that still rely on bulky rectangles. Additional certification shots, shared by Michail and tied to the Last TENAA gallery, reinforce that this is not a radical departure from recent Galaxy styling, but it is a careful refinement that should feel more expensive than it is.
Display and multimedia: 6.6-inch AMOLED at 120 Hz
Display specs are where the Galaxy A57 looks most competitive on paper. Multiple listings converge on a 6.6-inch panel, with one breakdown explicitly calling out a 6.6-inch full-HD+ (1080 × 2340 pixels) screen that supports 16 million colours. That resolution and colour depth, paired with an AMOLED technology stack, should deliver the deep blacks and punchy contrast that have become a Samsung hallmark, and the TENAA certification details back up the presence of a 6.6-inch full-HD+ panel on The Samsung Galaxy A57.
Refresh rate is another key part of the story. According to Jan and the shared spec card, the phone is set to ship with a 6.6″ FHD+ AMOLED display running at a 120Hz refresh rate, which should make scrolling through Instagram, gaming in titles like Call of Duty Mobile and navigating busy web pages feel smoother than on 60 Hz rivals. That same leak pairs the screen with an Exynos 1680, listing 1 core @ 2.91 G, 4 cores @ 2.60 G and 3 cores @ 1.95 GHz, all tied to the 6.6″ FHD AMOLED configuration that anchors the multimedia experience.
Core hardware: Exynos 1680, RAM tiers and battery
Under the hood, the Galaxy A57 looks set to lean on Samsung’s own silicon. The Exynos 1680 mentioned in the TENAA-linked spec sheets suggests a focus on efficiency and balanced performance rather than raw flagship power. With its 1 core @ 2.91 G, 4 cores @ 2.60 G and 3 cores @ 1.95 GHz, the chip should comfortably handle everyday multitasking, from running WhatsApp and Spotify side by side to jumping into midrange gaming, without the thermal overhead of top‑tier processors. A separate certification summary reiterates the 6.6 FHD and AMOLED pairing with Exynos, tying the processor directly to the Samsung Galaxy display and performance profile.
Memory and storage options appear to follow a familiar midrange template. One detailed breakdown lists RAM at 8GB and 12GB, with Storage at 128GB and 256GB, which would give buyers a clear choice between a baseline configuration and a more future‑proof tier for heavier app users. That same document references a Display 6.70-inch entry, a Front Camera 12-megapixel and a Rear Camera 50-megapixel + 12-megapixel + 5-megapixel, all under the Galaxy A57 umbrella, and it explicitly spells out RAM and Storage in the specification sheet that accompanies the TENAA listing.
Battery capacity is another area where the phone sticks to proven numbers. A community breakdown of the SM-A5760 entry underlines a 5000mAh battery, which has become the de facto standard for all‑day Android phones in this bracket. That same post lists Confirmed Specs including a 6.6″ FHD+ display, a 50MP + 12MP + 5MP rear camera, a 12MP front camera and a Weight of 182 g, all of which align with the broader certification picture and are captured in the Confirmed Specs summary that enthusiasts have been dissecting.
Cameras and imaging: 50-megapixel main sensor and familiar support cast
On the camera front, the Galaxy A57 is not trying to chase ultra‑high megapixel counts, but it does lean on a solid trio. The primary sensor is listed at 50-megapixel, backed by a 12-megapixel secondary and a 5-megapixel tertiary unit, which likely correspond to an ultrawide and a macro or depth sensor. That 50-megapixel figure is repeated in the same TENAA-linked spec card that mentions Display 6.70-inch and the layered Rear Camera 50-megapixel + 12-megapixel + 5-megapixel, giving the phone a straightforward imaging stack that should be more than enough for social media‑ready shots and 4K video, as laid out in the TENAA-backed camera description.
Selfie duties fall to a 12-megapixel front camera, which is again spelled out in the Display 6.70-inch, Front Camera 12-megapixel and Rear Camera 50-megapixel + 12-megapixel + 5-megapixel breakdown. That combination, paired with Samsung’s usual image processing, should deliver sharp video calls on apps like Google Meet and crisp selfies for Snapchat and TikTok. A separate enthusiast summary of the SM-A5760 listing echoes the 50MP + 12MP + 5MP rear camera and 12MP front camera configuration, reinforcing that the imaging hardware is consistent across the Samsung Galaxy documentation that has surfaced so far.
Positioning in Samsung’s lineup and what TENAA hints at next
Looking at the broader Galaxy roadmap, the A57 is clearly part of a coordinated midrange push. One video breakdown that tracks upcoming devices references Galaxy A57, A37 and A07 5G as part of a cluster of Galaxy A series smartphones that Samsung has in the pipeline, suggesting a staggered rollout that covers multiple price bands. That same clip hints at a new launch date window for the Galaxy trio, tying the A57 to a family of devices that will likely share design language and software features, and it frames the phone as one of several Galaxy A options rather than a lone experiment.
From a certification standpoint, the TENAA listing also confirms that Samsung is serious about bringing a full feature set to its midrange buyers in China. One analysis notes that Samsung’s Galaxy A57 just showed up on China’s TENAA certification database, with references to 5G connectivity, NFC and stereo speakers that round out the spec sheet. That same report underscores that Jan and the TENAA entry effectively lock in the core hardware, leaving only pricing and regional tweaks as open questions, and it positions the phone as a well‑equipped Samsung Galaxy option for buyers who want modern connectivity without paying flagship money.
