Samsung appears to be gearing up for the launch of its next mid-range smartphone — the Galaxy A57, which will succeed the popular Galaxy A56. While the company hasn’t made any official announcements yet, signs of the upcoming phone have already surfaced online, hinting that the launch could be closer than expected.
Galaxy A57 Appears on Samsung Server With Model Number A576B
According to a report shared by X (formerly Twitter) user Akhilesh Kumar (@Koram_Akhilesh), a new Samsung device bearing the model number A576B has been spotted on the company’s internal test server.
The “A” in the model number confirms that it belongs to Samsung’s Galaxy A series, and the “B” suffix suggests that this particular variant could be the international model.
The same device has also been seen on the IMEI database under the model number SM-A576B/DS, where the “DS” denotes dual SIM support — a common feature across Samsung’s mid-range phones.
Firmware Testing Hints at Imminent Launch
The server listing revealed that the Galaxy A57 is currently undergoing firmware testing with builds labeled:
-
A576BXXU0AYJ7
-
A576BOXM0AYJ7
-
A576BXXU0AYJ7
These internal test builds indicate that Samsung has moved into the final stages of development, suggesting the launch may not be far off.
Expected Specifications: Exynos 1680 and Display Upgrades
Early leaks suggest that the Samsung Galaxy A57 will be powered by the new Exynos 1680 chipset, succeeding the Exynos 1580 used in the A56. While full specifications are still under wraps, we can expect incremental upgrades in performance, efficiency, and camera processing.
The phone is rumored to retain a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, along with improvements to brightness and power efficiency.
Possible Launch Timeline
According to early reports, the Galaxy A57 could make its global debut as early as March 2026, following Samsung’s typical release pattern for its A-series lineup.
Samsung Galaxy A56 Specs
To put things in perspective, the Galaxy A56, launched in India in March 2025, was priced at ₹41,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model.
It features a 6.7-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, runs on Android 15 with One UI 7, and is promised six years of OS and security updates — one of the best support commitments in its class.
The phone is powered by the Exynos 1580 processor and packs a 50MP triple rear camera setup along with a 12MP selfie shooter. It houses a 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging and carries an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance.
Final Thoughts
If the leaks are accurate, the Samsung Galaxy A57 will bring subtle yet meaningful upgrades — especially with the new Exynos 1680 chip and potentially improved efficiency.
Considering Samsung’s consistency with design, software support, and reliable performance in the A-series, the Galaxy A57 could easily continue the success story of the A56 when it officially launches in 2026.
