Not a buy worthy phone
Why is everyone overreacting about the goddamn price, like you don't know the launch prices have always been high on release - even for the S series. They drop off fairly quickly after a few weeks, but you still want something to bitch about I guess.
Either samsung management smoking something strong or they wanna make their products irrelevant in india. At this price a57 and a37 are close to DOA.
They increased the prices by 50% over last year's Ax6 series!
But if you compare with the previous models, the feature changes are less than 5%!
Why would I spend so much on mid-range features when I can get an iPhone or Google Pixel at that same price category instead?
Sorry Samsung, it's now time for me to stop being your loyal fan and I need to move on to other brands...
justasmile, 26 Mar 2026USD had nothing to do with this Well you're wrong again. USD actually has something to do here, but in a very little way. Not enough to considerably make a phone expensive but it does cost companies a bit of dollars to make their smartphones
justasmile, 26 Mar 2026USD had nothing to do with this Then why bring up US currency rates into this ?
Clearly you failed at research then ๐

Just awesome price, rest is dumb . I think samsung don't want to sell their mobile phones at all . If I exclude all other brands , samsung has its own phones at this price point, s24 , s24 fe , s25fe . Who buys this ๐คฏ
I think now i am already become fan of vivo/oneplus . Samsung is slowly becoming Nokia amd they want to vanish fromarket
The Android Freak, 26 Mar 2026Vivo X200T is cheaper than this with Mediatek 9400+ and far better camera system. Who cares ab... moreVivo only sells in a few countries... so many people in relevant markets do not have access to Vivo brand, so...
It's not worth defending Samsung mid range anymore, they're literally moving backwards, it's definitely hard for any tech companies to improve hardware wise this couple years because of the storage outrage, but still most of em managed to actually upgrade and some even innovate new functions or just new designs altogether, Samsung and Apple both are the giants but seems to not do any major upgrades, like heck the battery is the same as it was 4 years ago, whilst others companies going 6000-10000mah, don't bring up software because bigger battery will always be better over the years not just software optimisations, battery will always degrade overtime and bigger capacity will have bigger minimum capacity after 3-4 years of use even after degradation...
With the price of a Galaxy A57, you could buy a Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro or X8 Pro Max, with batteries ranging from 6500mAh to 8500mAh, plus the Galaxy S25 FE and several other more complete models with batteries ranging from 6000mAh to 10000mAh, and still have enough change left over to buy a 90W to 120W charger. Samsung is becoming like Nokia in the Android market, falling behind.
I would really like to have a bit of whatever stuff their teams smoked up before finalising these prices!!

DarlingYext, 26 Mar 2026The only thing awesome about these phones is the amount of profit Samsung will earn per unit.Nobody will care about Samsung within two years. Samsung is about to see downfall which will start after Google Pixel 11 Pro XL launch this August.
rizki1, 26 Mar 2026$600 for 8/128GB?? ๐๐๐คฃ๐คฃ This is the price of the S23 FE before, they even discounted to $400.Vivo X200T is cheaper than this with Mediatek 9400+ and far better camera system. Who cares about this phone?

justasmile, 26 Mar 2026Clearly something's wrong with the currency rather than just RAM shortages; Samsung, Vivo... more
Where exactly does American dollar come into all of this ? Rising dollar value has got little to do with their pricing in asia. Especially when considered that Samsung is not even an American company
And they don't manufacture in America either
hahaha
That price is a joke. Nice try samsung, but your days of relying heavily on brand value, are over. There are tons of better options out there, at the same or lesser price
Two Poco X8 Pros for the A57 lmao.
