#SmartphoneNews Based on early 2026 leaks, the Galaxy A57 is shaping up to feel way more premium than you’d expect from the A-series. The big upgrade? A metal (aluminum) frame, which should give the phone a sturdier, more flagship-like feel in the hand.
That metal frame is rumored to be sandwiched between Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both the front and back, keeping the same tough, polished design language we saw on the Galaxy A56. In other words, fewer compromises, more confidence tossing it into your pocket or bag.
Design-wise, the A57 is expected to stay nice and slim, measuring around 6.9mm to 7.1mm, and Samsung will likely stick with the familiar “Key Island” design that subtle raised section around the power and volume buttons that makes them easier to find without looking.
Durability doesn’t seem to be taking a back seat either. Leaks suggest the Galaxy A57 will keep its IP67 water and dust resistance, meaning it should handle splashes, rain, and the occasional accident without breaking a sweat.
If these rumors hold up, the Galaxy A57 could be one of those midrange phones that seriously blurs the line between “budget-friendly” and “premium.” #samsunggalaxya57
