GoKawiilSamsung raises US prices across Galaxy A57, A37, A27 and A17 5G models
Samsung has increased US prices on four Galaxy A series phones: the A57 5G now starts at $599.99, the A37 5G at $489.99, the A27 5G at $379.99, and the A17 5G at $269.99.

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The increases follow a wider industry trend in 2026 of smartphone price hikes tied to a RAM shortage, suggesting component costs may be squeezing Samsung's mid-range lineup. Compared to last year's equivalent models, which were $50-$70 cheaper, the new pricing narrows the gap with competitors like Google's Pixel 10a, which Android Authority now argues is a better value than the A37 5G or A57 5G.
- Galaxy A57, A37, A27, and A17 5G all received US price increases of $30-$50.
- The A17 5G has now risen $70 above its original $199.99 launch price after two hikes.
- New Galaxy A pricing makes Google's $500 Pixel 10a comparatively more competitive.
Samsung Galaxy A16 5G — If the recent price hikes on the Galaxy A57, A37, A27, and A17 have you hesitant to upgrade, the Galaxy A16 5G remains a solid budget-friendly alternative still available at its original pricing tier. It offers reliable 5G connectivity and Samsung's long-term software support without the sting of these latest cost increases.
