00:00This is Samsung Galaxy's new A57, and this is Samsung's Galaxy S26.
00:06Now, why would you buy this over this?
00:09You're going to save about $300.
00:10This is about $899 to start.
00:13This is $549 to start.
00:15You do get 128 gigabytes of storage and 8 gigabytes of RAM.
00:18That's a little bit less than this guy.
00:19The cameras are a little bit different.
00:21So you've got a 50 megapixel main, 12 megapixel ultrawide, and a 5 megapixel macro camera.
00:28Here, you've got the 12, the 50, and 3x optical zoom right here.
00:33That's one of the reasons.
00:34The other reason is, obviously, these are both great screens.
00:37So this is a small screen.
00:38This is 6.7 inches.
00:40You can get the Samsung Galaxy S26+, which is going to be about the same size.
00:44But one of the things you should know is that this is going to be a fixed 120 hertz,
00:47and this is going to be a variable.
00:49So it's going to change, and that's useful for battery life.
00:52It is also a good build, all right?
00:54This is still IP68.
00:56The last model was IP67, so this is going to hold up even better to water and dust.
01:02They both have a lot of AI in them, including things like best face.
01:05I took pictures with this, swapped in and out my face.
01:08So you've got the Galaxy AI, you've got the Gemini built in, you've still got Bixby.
01:14So it's quite a bit of functionality in this much more affordable phone.
01:17Stick with TechRadar.com for reviews of the Samsung Galaxy S26 and the Samsung Galaxy A57.
