Galaxy A57 and A37: EU Energy Labels Reveal Battery Details Ahead of Launch

Mumbai, February 27: Both the Galaxy A57 and A37 have surfaced in the EU’s EPREL database, identified by model numbers SM-A576B/DS and SM-A376B/DS. The energy labels provide intriguing insights, particularly regarding battery performance and durability.

Starting with battery life, both devices earn an A grade under the EU’s standardized testing. The Galaxy A37 boasts an impressive usage time of up to 53 hours on a single charge, while the A57 is rated for 52 hours. These figures are derived from a fixed EU usage cycle, which typically includes calls, web browsing, video playback, and standby. While they may not represent every real-world scenario, they indicate solid endurance for most users.

Both models feature a rated battery capacity of 4,905mAh, which Samsung is likely to market as a typical 5,000mAh capacity. Fast charging capabilities are reported to peak at 45W, keeping them competitive in the mid-range market.

The Galaxy A57 and A37 both come with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, a notable upgrade from the IP67 rating of their predecessors. On paper, this represents a significant enhancement. However, drop resistance ratings vary slightly; the A57 receives an A rating, while the A37 is rated B. Repairability is rated C for both models, which is standard for modern sealed smartphones.

According to the EU label, both phones are certified for 1,200 full charge cycles before the battery capacity falls below 80 percent of its original level. This is a decrease from the 2,000 cycles previously noted for the Galaxy A56 and A36. A similar reduction was observed in the Galaxy S26 series, suggesting a potential shift in Samsung’s battery strategy, possibly linked to changes in chemistry or internal design.

This reduction doesn’t necessarily imply poorer performance in daily use. However, for users who keep their phones for four to five years, the lower cycle rating is a consideration.

An official launch is anticipated next month. As always, the complete picture will depend on pricing and real-world performance testing.
