Looking to upgrade your handheld without breaking the bank? It’s a busy week for mobile deals, especially for those eyeing the Samsung ecosystem.
### The New A-Series Arrival
Samsung has officially pulled back the curtain on the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37. While these devices won’t hit shelves until Thursday, April 9, pre-orders are already live. You can snag the A57 (8/128GB) for $550 or opt for the more budget-friendly A37 (6/128GB) at $450.
If you aren’t in a rush for the latest tech, the previous-generation Galaxy A56 is currently sitting at a price point $165 lower than the new A57. However, that saving comes with trade-offs. By going with the older model, you lose out on the A57’s sleeker, lighter chassis (6.9mm vs 7.4mm) and the upgraded IP68 water resistance. You’ll also be stepping down from the newer Exynos 1680 chipset to the 1580.
### The “Smart Money” Move: Galaxy S25 FE
If you’re debating between the new A-series and a discounted flagship, the Galaxy S25 FE is the clear winner here. For only about $50 more than the starting price of the A57, the Fan Edition offers a massive leap in performance.
The S25 FE upgrades your experience with a flagship-grade Exynos 2400 processor and a sophisticated 1-120Hz LTPO display. While it shares the same 6.7-inch 1080p+ screen size as the A57, the FE adds a dedicated 8MP 3x telephoto lens for much better zoom capabilities.
Charging is another area where the FE shines. While the A57 focuses on a slightly larger 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging, the S25 FE pairs its 4,900mAh cell with the convenience of wireless charging—a feature missing from the standard A-series.
Whether you want the latest mid-range reliability or a “lite” flagship experience, there’s a deal on the table this week.
