  • Small improvements over the previous model, but nothing revolutionary.

    The phone is thinner and lighter now, which I really like. But because it's still quite wide, it doesn't feel that comfortable to hold with one hand. The processor is only a little better than before, and the main camera is noticeably sharper than on the previous model. Colors look a bit more natural, and the dynamic range is better, but the ultra-wide camera is still pretty disappointing.

    And that's basically all that's new. There's still no silicon-carbon battery, no telephoto camera like on Nothing phones, and no wireless charging. The base model also still comes with only 128GB of storage, and it launched at €529, which was way too expensive.

    Now you can get it for around €300–350, and at that price it's a good phone. Not amazing, not outstanding, just good and a safe choice. Unfortunately, Samsung still plays it very safe and doesn't bring much innovation.

    Pros
    • Light and Thin
    • Beautiful Display
    • Main Cam got improved
    • Decent Performance
    Cons
    • Many Features missing (Telephoto, Wireless Charging etc)
    • The signal reception is weird
    • Battery could be better (6h SOT on 5G)

    Absurd!

    I switched from an S20 FE 5G fearing I'd regret buying the A57, but what an extraordinary phone! Everything about it surprised me: the screen, the sound, the processor, the customization, everything. However, not everything is perfect. Samsung should include a more powerful charger in the box, because I charge the phone from approximately 20 to 90 degrees Celsius, but it takes 2 hours to charge. It's not terrible, but it's a detail Samsung overlooked.

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
