We got our hands on Samsung’s Galaxy A37 and A57 phones, which deliver flagship features for the fraction of the price of the company’s new Galaxy S26 phones.

Samsung’s new phones all get AI enhancements, and the flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra has a Privacy Display that can block the screen from nosy neighbors.

Samsung has made the most important change by making the phone more comfortable to hold, and further refining the monolithic nature of the device’s overall shape. However, the return to aluminum and the decision to reuse the same durability features as the S25 Ultra stops it from being a desirable upgrade for many existing Ultra owners.
