Samsung Galaxy A37 was launched in India in April, along with the Galaxy A57. The smartphones are currently on sale in the country via various e-commerce platforms and the company's website. Now, information regarding the next-generation Galaxy A series phones has started surfacing online. According to a report, the Samsung Galaxy A38 will be equipped with a significantly larger battery. The Galaxy A58 is also expected to pack a similar-capacity battery. It is also expected to launch next year at a notably higher price than its predecessor. The phone might retain a triple rear camera system, with the same sensors as this year's Galaxy A37.

GalaxyClub reports that the tech giant will equip the rumoured Samsung Galaxy A38 with a larger battery than its predecessor. The handset is said to pack a battery with a rated capacity of 5,882mAh, which could be marketed by the smartphone maker as the typical capacity of 6,000mAh. If this is true, it would be a notable upgrade over the Galaxy A37, which features a 5,000mAh battery. On top of this, the report highlights that the higher-end Samsung Galaxy A58 is also expected to boast a 6,000mAh cell.

Further, the Samsung Galaxy A58 is expected to see a price hike, too. It is expected to be launched in March or April 2027 at a starting price of EUR 500 (roughly Rs. 53,000). In India, the Samsung Galaxy A37 is currently listed on the Samsung online store at a starting price of Rs. 46,999 for the base 8GB + 128GB RAM and storage configuration, going up to Rs. 63,999 for the top-of-the-line 12GB + 256GB model.
