Apart from that, there isn’t a lot distinction, however the A56 is probably not your greatest wager, anyway.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE ought to in all probability be your go-to – the 8/128GB mannequin prices lower than $50 greater than the beginning value of the A57. With the FE, you’re going to get an LTPO show (1-120Hz) with the identical 6.7” diagonal and 1080p+ decision. It additionally has a flagship-class chipset, the Exynos 2400, and a devoted telephoto digicam (8MP 3x/75mm).
Plus, wi-fi charging for the 4,900mAh battery on high of the 45W wired charging (vs. 5,000mAh battery and 45W wired-only charging for the A57). The Galaxy A57 and S25 FE are in several classes and the comparability shouldn’t be in favor of the A-phone.
When it rains, it pours. The OnePlus 15R had been holding regular for weeks now, however its value simply dropped by $50. That’s not a lot, however it implies that the 12/256GB mannequin is $650. The 15R has a 6.83” 1272p+ 165Hz show – it’s not an LTPO panel, however it does have Dolby Imaginative and prescient.

It’s a smaller telephone with a 6.3” show (1080p+, 120Hz), however its battery is identical measurement (4,970mAh) and provides each 30W wired and 15W wi-fi charging. We haven’t examined the Exynos 1680 but, however the Tensor G5 ought to have a efficiency lead. And this telephone has a ten.8MP 5x/112mm periscope, beating even the S25 FE by way of focal size (the A57 has no tele digicam, after all).
The Google Pixel 10 Professional is pricier, however it provides a extra premium expertise with a sharper 6.3” LTPO show (1280p+, 120Hz). Crucially, the Professional has a extra succesful 48MP 5x/113mm periscope, a 48MP ultra-wide (vs. 12MP on the A57 and the S25 FE) and a 42MP selfie digicam (vs. 12MP).
As a less expensive 6.3” choice, there’s the Pixel 9a from final 12 months. It has the older Tensor G4 chipset, which can also be used for the 10a. The telephone has each wired (23W) and wi-fi (7.5W) charging for its 5,100mAh battery. There’s a 48MP principal, a 13MP ultra-wide and a 13MP selfie digicam on board.

It has the identical digicam setup as the ten Professional. The Professional fashions are flagships, nevertheless, and are priced as such, so they don’t seem to be direct rivals to the Galaxy A57.
It’s not simply the A57 that finds itself in an ungainly spot – the brand new Nothing Cellphone (4a) Professional can also be competing in opposition to an older, extra premium mannequin. Proper now, the telephone begins at $500. Its 6.83” 1260p+ 144Hz show, Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset and 5,080mAh battery (50W wired-only charging) make it an fascinating various to the Galaxy A57.

Lastly, Amazon has refurbished iPhone 13 and 14 (from 2021 and 2022) within the “renewed premium” class. These are from earlier than the change to USB-C and so they nonetheless have notches. Each are powered by the A15 chipset, which is fairly zippy even by immediately’s requirements. And so they have MagSafe assist, in case you don’t wish to trouble with Lightning cables. They’re outdated, however Apple’s nice software program assist makes them viable even in 2026 and so they solely price round $300.
