Updated Price List for Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G
The Galaxy A57 5G, which occupies the upper mid-tier slot in Samsung’s lineup, has received an increase between Rs 3,000 and Rs 5,000. The base configuration with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage moves from Rs 59,999 to Rs 62,999. The higher model, featuring 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, climbs from Rs 67,499 to Rs 72,499.

- 12GB + 256GB: Raised from Rs 57,999 to Rs 63,999 (Rs 6,000 increase)
Why Did Samsung Revise the Rates
The revision stems from global supply constraints affecting semiconductor foundries, particularly memory components. Contract prices for mobile LPDDR RAM and NAND flash storage have risen steadily, squeezing profit margins for smartphone makers. Samsung chose to adjust consumer pricing rather than alter hardware specifications.
Both phones offer 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED displays, 5,000mAh batteries with fast charging, and multiple rear cameras with optical image stabilization. Samsung also promises six major Android OS upgrades and six years of security patches for the devices.
Retailers in India report that units already in distribution pipelines may still sell at previous rates until fresh shipments arrive with the revised Maximum Retail Price stickers.
