If you’ve been patiently waiting to get your hands on Samsung’s next generation of mid-range smartphones, you might need to hold onto your wallet for just a few more weeks. Recent whispers in the tech community suggested that the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 would make their debut this month. However, in the ever-shifting world of smartphone launches, dates change, and a new leak has thrown a slight wrench into those initial timelines.
According to a fresh report circulating online, Samsung has opted to delay the unveiling of its upcoming A-series contenders. The new target? March 2026.
A Shift in Strategy or Business as Usual?
Initially, industry insiders speculated that the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 would be revealed in February, potentially beating the much-anticipated Galaxy S26 series to the punch . But with the Galaxy S26 series now locked in for its own late-February Unpacked event, it makes strategic sense for Samsung to give its flagships room to breathe. By pushing the A-series to March, the company avoids cannibalizing headlines and allows the premium S26 devices to enjoy the spotlight.
While the source of this new timeline hasn't provided a specific date, a March launch isn't exactly a cause for alarm. In fact, it feels more like a return to form. Looking back, the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36 (the predecessors to these new models) were also unveiled in March 2025. As noted in multiple reports, this could very well have been the original plan all along .

Barcelona Calling: An MWC 2026 Appearance?
This shift in schedule points to a likely stage for the grand reveal. The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 is set to kick off in Barcelona on the 2nd of March, running through to the 5th . As the world's largest mobile industry expo, MWC is the perfect venue to launch mid-range workhorses. Given that their predecessors were introduced at MWC 2025, it’s a safe bet that Samsung will be using the Spanish platform to showcase the Galaxy A57 and A37 to the world .
What to Expect: The Leaked Specs
Beyond just the date, the rumor mill has been churning out a fairly clear picture of what these phones will pack under the hood. And if the leaks are accurate, Samsung is focusing on refining the formula with sleek designs, powerful processors, and impressive battery life.
Here’s a breakdown of what the new leaks claim :
The Galaxy A57: Slimmer and Stronger
The Galaxy A57 is shaping up to be a notable upgrade. The highlight is the shift to the new Exynos 1680 processor, promising a jump in performance for everyday tasks and gaming . Samsung also seems to be focusing on design, trimming the phone down to an impressively slim 6.9mm profile and a lightweight 182 grams, making it even sleeker than the A56 .
The camera setup appears to be a refined version of its predecessor, featuring a versatile 50MP main sensor. However, the potential inclusion of an IP68 dust and water resistance rating would be a premium touch for the mid-range segment .
The Galaxy A37: A Worthy Successor
The Galaxy A37 isn't just a smaller sibling; it carves its own identity with a slightly larger 6.7-inch display . While it utilizes the older (but still capable) Exynos 1480 chipset, it matches the A57 in the most critical areas: a 50MP main camera, a massive 5000mAh battery, and the convenience of 45W fast charging . It will likely offer an IP67 rating, making it highly resistant to the elements as well.

The Bottom Line
While Samsung remains officially mute on the matter, the convergence of leaks points toward an exciting March for mid-range phone enthusiasts. By aligning the launch with MWC 2026, Samsung has the perfect opportunity to immediately show off the new Galaxy A57 and A37 to the global tech press. Whether you're eyeing the powerful, slimmed-down A57 or the large-screen A37, it looks like the wait will be over in just a few weeks.
