For Samsung, the Galaxy A16 5G topped the list, followed by the Galaxy A06 4G. Surprising, right?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-phone-carrier-deals-tmobile-verizon-att-amazon-spring-sale-2026\/\">The best phone deals from T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&amp;T and other carriers right now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why phones like the new Galaxy A37 5G and A57 5G matter so much. They&#8217;re competitively positioned, with price points and feature sets that make them appealing to arguably the most critical user base, especially in the US: carrier store customers. The A-series is among the most obtainable handsets, with frequent BOGO and &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-much-does-that-free-phone-from-your-mobile-carrier-really-cost\/\">free phone<\/a>&#8216; promotions that play well with Samsung&#8217;s brand power.<\/p>\n<p>You likely won&#8217;t see any TV spots or billboard ads for the midrange <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-samsung-phone\/\">Samsung phones<\/a>, but I&#8217;d bet that by this time next year, I&#8217;ll be writing about how they quietly became the brand&#8217;s top sellers in 2026, outpacing the likes of the Galaxy S26 series and the foldables. And I&#8217;m more bullish about that claim than ever. Here&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n<h2>Power play<\/h2>\n<p>With this year&#8217;s A-series of Galaxy phones, Samsung has done something I&#8217;d like to think only eagle-eyed journalists would notice: offering a faster wired charging rate than even the more expensive Galaxy S26.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right, both the $450 Galaxy A37 5G and the $550 Galaxy A57 5G support 45W charging, beating the $800 Galaxy S26, which caps charging at 25W. As forgettable as the vanilla Samsung flagship is, this feels like a strategic move by the company, and one that sets the A-series for success with its intended user base.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large c-shortcodeImage-hasCaption\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/samsung-a37-a57-5g-hands-on-analysis\/\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy A37 lineup\" width=\"1280\" height=\"718.9701726844584\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_caption g-inner-spacing-right-small g-color-black\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"c-ShortcodeContent\" readability=\"32\">\n<p>The Galaxy A37 5G (pictured) and Galaxy A57 5G will be available in the US starting April 9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Nina Raemont\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As I&#8217;ve learned over the years of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-we-test-phones\/\">reviewing phones<\/a>, and as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/smartphone-buyers-care-even-less-about-ai-than-they-did-last-year-cnet-survey-finds\/\">reader surveys<\/a> have shown, people mainly care about price, battery, and storage &#8212; and in that order. The fancy privacy displays, built-in stylus, and abundance of superfluous AI features that you hear more and more about as you go up the price ladder are more or less optional.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/samsung-adopting-airdrop-compatibility\/\">Your Samsung phone is getting AirDrop-style sharing with iPhone &#8211; these models first<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It helps that the list of caveats with Samsung&#8217;s cheaper phones has gotten shorter over time, and this year&#8217;s roundup of omissions and drawbacks feels the most forgiving. We&#8217;re talking <em>only<\/em> six years of OS and security upgrades (versus Samsung&#8217;s previous commitment of eight years), lower-end Exynos processors (compared to more tested Qualcomm Snapdragon or MediaTek processors), and no wireless charging.<\/p>\n<p>In the broader landscape, Samsung&#8217;s new A-series presents a formidable package that rivals even its flagship siblings. Between the 6.7-inch AMOLED displays, versatile quad-camera array, and massive 5,000mAh batteries, you&#8217;re looking at a well-rounded duet of handsets that will likely dominate the market in 2026, especially during the shopping seasons ahead, even if you don&#8217;t hear much about it.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
