Samsung appears to have increased the prices of its Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 smartphones in India, according to a report from tipster Sanju Choudhary. An image of a communication allegedly sent to retail partners shows revised prices for multiple configurations, with increases of up to Rs 5,000. The changes are said to have taken effect on August 22, 2026.

The reported price adjustments in India are as follows:

Galaxy A57 8GB+256GB: from Rs 56,999 to Rs 59,999 (up Rs 3,000)
Galaxy A57 12GB+256GB: from Rs 62,499 to Rs 67,499 (up Rs 5,000)
Galaxy A37 8GB+128GB: from Rs 41,999 to Rs 43,999 (up Rs 2,000)
Galaxy A37 8GB+256GB: from Rs 47,499 to Rs 50,499 (up Rs 3,000)
Galaxy A37 12GB+256GB: from Rs 52,999 to Rs 57,999 (up Rs 5,000)

As of the latest update, Samsung's official website in India still lists the original prices for both models, leaving the reported changes unconfirmed by the company.

Separately, Samsung has officially announced a price revision for the Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G in Malaysia, effective September 7. The company attributes the change to sustained increases in global component costs.

In Malaysia, the price adjustments are mixed:

Galaxy A57 5G 12GB+512GB: from RM2,699 to RM2,899 (up RM200)
Galaxy A57 5G 8GB+256GB: from RM2,319 to RM2,099 (down RM220)
Galaxy A57 5G 12GB+256GB: remains at RM2,399
Galaxy A37 5G 12GB+256GB: from RM1,999 to RM2,199 (up RM200)
Galaxy A37 5G 8GB+256GB: remains at RM1,899

"While Samsung has continued to make every effort to absorb these rising costs and minimise the impact on consumers, sustained cost pressures across the industry have made this price adjustment necessary," the company said in a statement.

This follows a similar price increase last month for the Galaxy A07 and Galaxy A17 models in Malaysia. Both the A57 5G and A37 5G were launched in April, featuring a 6.7-inch display, triple rear camera, and a 5,000mAh battery.

For Indian consumers, the reported hikes come after earlier promotional discounts had made these phones more appealing. With the new prices, both models become more expensive, potentially reducing their value proposition in a competitive mid-range market.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
