Your guide to Samsung Galaxy A Series devices

When you think about Samsung mobile devices, you probably first think of premium, flagship ones like Galaxy S26, Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7. However, many businesses — especially those on a tighter budget — can get the features and capabilities they need from the more affordable Galaxy A Series.

The Galaxy A Series lineup includes:

  • Galaxy A17 5G
  • Galaxy A26 5G
  • Galaxy A37 5G
  • Galaxy A57 5G
  • Galaxy Tab A11+

Available from leading carriers and Samsung Business Direct, the latest range of Galaxy A Series devices gives your business a reliable, secure and affordable platform for workforce mobility.

From the entry-level A17 5G to the versatile A26 5G, higher-tier A37 5G, top-shelf A57 5G and powerful Tab A11+, Galaxy A Series devices deliver the core essentials business makers depend upon.

But there are some differences among the range of models. Here’s a quick rundown of the A Series across six key features to help you choose which device best fits your business needs:

1. Display technology

  • Galaxy A17 5G: 6.7 inches FHD+ Super AMOLED
  • Galaxy A26 5G: 6.7 inches, FHD+ Super AMOLED
  • Galaxy A37 5G: 6.7 inches FHD+ Super AMOLED
  • Galaxy A57 5G: 6.7 inches FHD+ Super AMOLED
  • Galaxy Tab A11+: 11 inches, TFT LCD 90Hz 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA)

All of Samsung Galaxy A Series mobile devices offer expansive screens of at least 6.7 inches. With more room comes more space for multitasking, allowing you to be productive on the move by working in two apps on a split screen. It also means no more straining your eyes to make out tiny characters on the display.

Galaxy A17 5G, A26 5G, A37 5G and A57 5G devices offer full high-definition plus resolution (2340 x 1080 pixels) to help ensure that documents, photos and videos look crisp and clear. All models feature Super AMOLED display technology, allowing you to keep notes, edit documents and research online on a superfluid screen that makes content clear and vibrant. The A26, A37 and A57 5G boast a refresh rate of 120Hz for smooth motion and the brightest A Series screens yet, at 1,200 nits — and a peak of 1,900 nits on the A57 5G.

With even more screen real estate, the Tab A11+ features an 11-inch display ideal for videoconferencing, presentations, demonstrations and more, especially because it’s combined with thin film transistor (TFT) technology, where each pixel is individually illuminated.

And when you’re working long hours, don’t forget to switch on the blue light filter — available on all Galaxy A Series devices — to give your eyes some rest.

2. Battery life

  • Galaxy A17 5G: 5,000mAh battery, 25W Super Fast Charging
  • Galaxy A26 5G: 5,000mAh battery, 25W Super Fast Charging
  • Galaxy A37 5G: 5,000mAh battery, 45W Super Fast Charging
  • Galaxy A57 5G: 5,000mAh battery, 45W Super Fast Charging
  • Galaxy Tab A11+: 7,040mAH battery, 25W Super Fast Charging

The 2025 Galaxy A Series devices feature high-capacity batteries and intelligent power management that can keep up with your productive workday. Videoconference, track inventory and work on your latest projects and still have enough battery life to stay connected through the end of the workday.

3. Camera systems

  • Galaxy A17 5G: Three-lens rear camera system including 50MP main with optical image stabilization (OIS), 5MP ultra wide and 2MP macro; 13MP front camera
  • Galaxy A26 5G: Three-lens camera including 50MP main with OIS, 8MP ultra wide and 2MP macro; 13MP front camera
  • Galaxy A37 5G: Three-lens camera including 50MP main with OIS, 8MP ultra wide and 5MP macro; 12MP front camera
  • Galaxy A57 5G: Three-lens camera including 50MP main with OIS, 12MP ultra wide and 5MP macro; 12MP front camera
  • Galaxy Tab A11+: Front: 5MP; Rear: 8MP Auto Focus

Having a great camera system can make or break a device for business users. The Galaxy A Series features sophisticated triple-lens rear camera setups. With a pro-grade camera on an affordable device, you’ll be able to capture every detail clearly and promote your business with the highest image quality.

In an era of videoconferencing, each A Series device comes with a front-facing camera designed to keep you and your ideas in focus during videoconferences. And with integrated 5G connectivity on many of this year’s devices, you’re able to join your next video call from nearly any location.

The rear camera systems are designed to let you capture every detail from any angle. Ultra-wide lenses give an impressive 123-degree field of view.

With the A Series’ incredibly sharp 50MP sensor with OIS, you can capture the world around you and shoot 4K video at 30 frames per second. This makes them ideal for work-related activities like running videoconference calls or scanning barcodes and documents.

4. Storage and memory

  • Galaxy A17 5G: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM
  • Galaxy A26 5G: 128GB storage, 6GB RAM
  • Galaxy A37 5G: 128GB storage, 6GB RAM
  • Galaxy A57 5G: 128GB storage, 8GB RAM
  • Galaxy Tab A11+ (Wi-Fi-only/5G): 128GB storage, 6GB RAM

Few things are more frustrating than trying to download an app or a large file and finding that your storage is maxed out. And if you notice your device is performing sluggishly when you have multiple apps open, limited memory (RAM) is likely the culprit.

Galaxy A Series offers several tiers of internal storage and memory configurations throughout the lineup, so you can choose a device that best fits your needs.

Galaxy A26 5G and A37’s 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM, for example, help ensure your device won’t get bogged down, even when you have a dozen browser tabs and documents opened up. Galaxy A57 5G steps up the RAM to 8GB for even snappier multitasking.

Galaxy A17 5G and Galaxy Tap A11+ support expandable storage via a microSD card slot. With the ability to add up to 2TB more external storage, your device grows with your business needs. Your scans, documents, photos and data can go wherever you do, without a hitch.

5. Connectivity

  • Galaxy A17 5G: 5G
  • Galaxy A26 5G: 5G
  • Galaxy A37 5G: 5G
  • Galaxy A57 5G: 5G
  • Galaxy Tab A11+: 5G and Wi-Fi-only versions

Your business needs to stay connected even when team members are working remotely. Galaxy A26 5G, A37 5G and A57 5G devices feature core connectivity essentials, including Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax with dual bands (2.4GHz + 5GHz), as well as support for 4G LTE. Galaxy A17 and Galaxy A11+ offer the same, but with Wi- Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. Galaxy A57 levels up the Bluetooth to version 6.1, with 5.2 for the A26 and A37, and 5.3 for A17.

Samsung has been a leader in introducing high-speed, low-latency 5G connectivity to its midrange lineup. As their names suggest, Galaxy A17 5G, A26 5G, A37 5G, A57 5G and even the Tab A11+ all feature high-speed 5G cellular modems.

With these devices’ robust performance and lightning-fast 5G, you have the freedom to explore unlimited professional possibilities. Access your work in the cloud and stream video from your office or on the go.

When it comes to audio connectivity, Galaxy A Series mobile devices feature USB-C headphone jacks, while the Tab A11+ takes 3mm stereo. All support Bluetooth headphones.

6. Security

Like Samsung’s flagship devices, A17 5G, A26 5G, A37 5G, A57 5G and Tab A11+ all feature the defense-grade Samsung Knox security platform built in. Knox is a multilayered security architecture that protects your device from the moment you power up, so you can focus on what matters to you and your business.

It also integrates natively with Knox Suite, Samsung’s comprehensive set of cloud-based solutions that enable IT to secure, deploy and manage devices according to specific business needs. Galaxy A Series mobile devices also get six years of OS and security updates.

Awesome made easy

Samsung’s Galaxy A Series is packed with features that used to be reserved for premium devices. With A17 5G, A26 5G, A37 5G, A57 5G and Tab 11+, you can work on an expansive screen while enjoying battery life that powers through your workday, an impressive multi-lens camera system and expandable storage. Your device integrates seamlessly with your daily life, thanks to additional features like Samsung Wallet, Quick Share, Auto Switch and the Galaxy-connected experience. And when you’re remote, you can go the extra mile with high-speed 5G connectivity.

In Galaxy A Series, awesome is made easy and affordable, enabling you to power your business forward at a price point you applaud and approve.
