Samsung Galaxy A57 and A37 EU Energy Labels show some intriguing changes

Samsung Galaxy A57 & A37: EU Energy Labels Unveil Key Durability & Battery Details

While the spotlight recently shone on Samsung's new Galaxy S26 flagship lineup, attention is now shifting to the eagerly anticipated mid-range contenders: the Samsung Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37. After numerous leaks hinting at their development, these devices are clearly nearing their official debut, with mandatory EU Energy Labels now offering a closer look at some intriguing specifications and changes.

The newly surfaced energy labels reveal impressive battery longevity for both models. The Galaxy A57 boasts an estimated 52-hour battery life, while its sibling, the Galaxy A37, slightly surpasses it with a predicted 53 hours of usage on a single charge. Beyond endurance, both smartphones are set to offer enhanced protection, arriving with an IP68 certification for superior dust and water resistance. This marks a notable upgrade from the IP67 rating found on their predecessors, providing greater peace of mind for everyday use.

However, not all changes are improvements. A significant shift concerns battery longevity over the device's lifespan. Both the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 are now certified to maintain over 80% of their initial battery capacity for only 1,200 full charging cycles. This represents a considerable decrease from their predecessors, which were rated for a more robust 2,000 cycles. Interestingly, this trend of reduced battery cycle certification has also been observed in Samsung's latest Galaxy S26 flagship series, suggesting a broader strategic change in the company's approach to long-term battery health.

In terms of overall energy efficiency, both the A57 and A37 have achieved an impressive 'A' rating. Their repairability score, however, falls into the 'C' category, indicating potential challenges for users or independent repair shops. For drop resistance, the Galaxy A57 stands out with an 'A' rating, while the Galaxy A37 secured a 'B'. With these official labels now public, rumors indicating an official launch next month seem increasingly credible for these compelling mid-range Samsung smartphones.
