This puts it at the same price as the A37 and the A57 is easily the better phone. You can check out our vs article to see how these two compare, but here&#8217;s a summary.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-deal container-blue-stripe m-0 p-15\">\n<div class=\"d-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Galaxy A57 has a thinner 6.9mm metal frame vs 7.4mm plastic frame, it&#8217;s lighter at 179g vs 196g, despite having the same 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging, it has a newer chipset (Exynos 1680 vs 1480) and slightly better camera hardware. Both these phones launch with One UI 8.5 (Android 16) and will get 6 major OS updates.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-deal container-blue-stripe m-0 p-15\">\n<div class=\"d-flex\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn2.gsmarena.com\/vv\/bigpic\/samsung-galaxy-a37.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy A37\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Poco F8 Pro is a bit expensive, but it has a flagship chipset \u2013 the Snapdragon 8 Elite (which is a year old at this point). It also brings a telephoto camera, a 50MP 2.5x\/60mm module, as well as a larger 6,210mAh battery with 100W wired charging (and 22.5W reverse). This gave Poco an edge in our testing with an active usage score of 17:35 hours versus 13:59 hours for the Galaxy A57.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-deal container-blue-stripe m-0 p-15\">\n<div class=\"d-flex\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn2.gsmarena.com\/vv\/bigpic\/xiaomi-poco-f8-pro.jpg\" alt=\"Poco F8 Pro\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>You can get the more current Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with the Poco F8 Ultra. It brings a larger 6.9\u201d display (up from 6.59\u201d), a larger 6,500mAh battery (18:52h active usage score) that also does 50W wireless charging, a larger 50MP sensor at the main (1\/1.31\u201d vs 1\/1.55\u201d), a longer 50MP 5x\/115mm telephoto and an improved 50MP ultra-wide (vs 8MP).<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-deal container-blue-stripe m-0 p-15\">\n<div class=\"d-flex\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn2.gsmarena.com\/vv\/bigpic\/xiaomi-poco-f8-ultra-.jpg\" alt=\"Poco F8 Ultra\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Of course, Ultra costs extra. The Realme 16 Professional (vs 20MP). Video stabilization could have been better, but the 16 Pro+ camera impressed in our review (even more so than the Poco F8 Pro camera).<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-deal container-blue-stripe m-0 p-15\">\n<div class=\"d-flex\">\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn2.gsmarena.com\/vv\/bigpic\/realme-16-pro-plus.jpg\" alt=\"realme 16 pro+\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are two thin Motorola phones on sale. The Motorola Signature is a tentative return to the flagship segment \u2013 \u200b\u200bthis 7mm phone packs a 6.8&#8243; display (165Hz LTPO) and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (not Elite) chipset. It has a larger 1\/1.28&#8243; 50MP main sensor, a 50MP 3x\/71mm periscope and a 50MP ultra-wide, as well as a 50MP selfie camera. The 5,200mAh battery isn&#8217;t huge, but it performed well in our tests with a 16:13h active usage score. It supports fast 90W wired and 50W wireless charging.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-deal container-blue-stripe m-0 p-15\">\n<div class=\"d-flex\">\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn2.gsmarena.com\/vv\/bigpic\/motorola-signature.jpg\" alt=\"motorola signature\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Next up is the thinner (and cheaper) Motorola Edge 70. It measures just 6mm and weighs 159g (versus 186g for the Signature), but battery capacity drops to 4,800mAh (13:36h) and charging rates drop to 68W wired and 15W wireless. The screen is a 6.7&#8243; 120Hz OLED panel and the phone is powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (same as Realme). The camera system only has a 50MP main and a 50MP ultra-wide, with no dedicated telephoto module.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-deal container-blue-stripe m-0 p-15\">\n<div class=\"d-flex\">\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn2.gsmarena.com\/vv\/bigpic\/motorola-edge-70-5g.jpg\" alt=\"motorola edge 70\" width=\"75\" height=\"100\" class=\"left mr-20 ml-10\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"article-source\">We may receive commission from qualifying sales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Samsung Galaxy A57 and A37 have just hit store shelves and the A57 is already getting a massive price cut \u2013 the 8\/256GB variant is 27% off.
