Samsung Galaxy A57

Samsung Galaxy A57 price in Malaysia starts from RM2399, putting it in the mid-range bracket where it's up against a fair number of competitors on paper. The Exynos 1680 chipset pairs with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, enough headroom for most daily tasks and multitasking without feeling cramped. Its 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ panel runs at 120Hz with peak brightness up to 1900 nits, so outdoor visibility shouldn't be an issue, and HDR10+ support means streaming content gets proper contrast.

On the camera side, you get a 50MP main sensor with OIS for steadier shots, backed by a 12MP ultrawide and a 5MP macro lens. The 12MP front camera handles selfies and video calls, with 4K recording available on both ends. A 5000mAh battery with 45W wired charging rounds things out, and Samsung backs this one with 6 major Android upgrades starting from Android 16 on One UI 8.5.

Build-wise, it's IP68 rated for dust and water resistance, with Gorilla Glass Victus+ protecting both front and back. At 179g and 6.9mm thick, it's not the lightest in its class, but the aluminum frame should hold up well over time.
