In my review of the Galaxy A37 this week, I lamented that the RRP was arguably $100 too high. The phone goes on sale today, alongside the Galaxy A57, and Samsung's early bird offers seem to take this feedback into consideration.
You can save up to $100 off the RRP on the A37 when buying it outright, and up to $150 off the A57.
You can save even more if you're prepared to go on a plan, but know that you'll always end up paying more on a plan in the long term, compared to a cheaper prepaid plan.
Both phones sit in Samsung's Galaxy A series, which is the company's mid-range lineup targeted at buyers who want a solid Android experience without paying flagship prices.
The A57 5G brings upgraded performance, improved Nightography camera hardware for cleaner low-light shots, and a more refined design. The A37 5G follows a similar path, a step up from its predecessor with a faster processor and a brighter screen.
Both phones come with six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades guaranteed, plus six years of security updates. That's a meaningful commitment for a mid-range device, and one of the stronger software support pledges you'll find at this price.
Nathan Rigger, Head of Product, Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics Australia, said: "Samsung's newest Galaxy A series delivers quality and value without compromise. We've continued to improve and upgrade our mid-tier phone range with the launch of Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, providing Australians with the features that matter most, including even longer battery life, faster camera capabilities, and enriched AI innovations."
Samsung's "Awesome Intelligence" AI features are also baked in, including include tools like audio transcription, photo editing assists, and smart suggestions across the One UI interface.
The launch discounts are available across most channels until late April, which gives you a few weeks to shop around.
