Technology Desk

In Short: Samsung's Galaxy A57 5G, a top mid-range smartphone for 2026, is now available at a record-low price of $399.99 on Amazon as part of the Prime Day deals.

The device features a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, providing a large and smooth screen for various uses.

Samsung has kept the body slim at around 6.9mm thick, making it easier to carry compared to many large phones.

The Galaxy A57 5G promises six OS upgrades and six years of security updates, a strong selling point for those planning a long-term investment.

It also includes Samsung Knox Vault for enhanced security.

The Galaxy A57 5G is part of a broader Samsung lineup, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is set to be a flagship release.

Samsung has removed the virtual proximity sensor in the S26 Ultra, raising questions about how the phone detects nearby objects.

In addition to the phone deals, Amazon is offering discounts on Galaxy Buds, with the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro priced at $199.99 for Prime members.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is also available with a $100 Amazon gift card, providing extra value for those looking for a high-end smartwatch.

The Galaxy S26 FE, while not as premium as the S26 series, offers a great screen and reliable performance, though it faces strong competition.

Samsung has officially raised the prices of its Galaxy S26 series, with the cheapest version now starting at $999.99 in the US.

The Galaxy Tab S12 series has also seen updates, with the Plus model receiving a significant overhaul compared to the Ultra model.
