  Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G feature a sleek design, powerful camera and upgraded Awesome Intelligence to give users the confidence for everyday use

SEOUL, Korea – March 25, 2026 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, the latest Galaxy A series devices that bring Samsung’s newest mobile innovations — including enriched Awesome Intelligence[1] — to more users worldwide. The latest Galaxy A series reflects Samsung’s commitment to expanding AI capabilities across more devices and empowering more users to harness the power of intuitive AI that simplifies everyday tasks. Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G strengthen the experiences users rely on every day with upgrades to performance, camera and display, alongside durability and security features. With up to six generations of OS upgrades and long-term security support, the new Galaxy A series is built to last. Leading the lineup is Galaxy A57 5G, featuring a slimmer, more refined design and upgraded AI-powered capabilities that make it the most powerful Galaxy A series device yet.

Samsung Unveils Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, Packing Pro-Level Features at Awesome Price

“The new Galaxy A series reflects our continued commitment to AI democratization by bringing the latest innovations to more Galaxy users,” said TM Roh, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Head of Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “With Samsung’s fundamental capabilities combined with enriched Awesome Intelligence, Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G will deliver reliable everyday performance to users around the world and drive rapid AI expansion.”

Enriched Awesome Intelligence Designed for Everyday Life

Through the latest One UI 8.5, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G extend Samsung’s latest AI innovations to more users, with Awesome Intelligence that helps people get more things done with ease while unlocking new ways to create and stay productive.

Voice Transcription is new to the Voice Recorder app, making it easier to revisit important details from meetings, lectures or calls by quickly transcribing and translating call recordings or turning voicemail audio into text. AI Select[1] is easier to access with a long press on the Edge Panel, surfacing relevant actions directly on the screen to extract text or create content without manually selecting items. AI Select also supports Drag & Drop in Multi-Window layout, allowing users to easily move images into Samsung Notes or Photo Editor for faster editing and improved productivity.

Awesome Intelligence makes everyday photo editing easier than ever. Object Eraser[2] now delivers more natural results when removing unwanted distractions, like a passerby in the background or clutter in a café. On Galaxy A57 5G, Best Face[3] supports more photos and continuous shooting, making it easier to capture the perfect group photos where everyone looks their best. Fan favorite tools like Filters and Edit Suggestions[4] help users quickly refine and share moments without extra effort, while Galaxy A57 5G also features Auto Trim[5] for even easier video editing.

Circle to Search with Google[6] adds multi-object recognition so users can easily explore multiple items in an image at once — from an outfit to surrounding accessories — all in one search.

The new Galaxy A series expands Awesome Intelligence experiences with a choice of agents designed to simplify everyday tasks from search to organizing plans or easily adjusting settings. As a conversational device agent, upgraded Bixby[7] lets users intuitively control Galaxy settings and features using natural  language, while Gemini[1] navigates complex tasks across native Galaxy apps and select third-party apps to support faster, more intuitive interactions.



Awesome Camera to Capture Clearer Photos and Videos, Day or Night

As AI becomes more deeply integrated into mobile experiences, camera performance remains essential to delivering the everyday usability and satisfaction users expect.

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G deliver brighter, clearer visuals powered by the upgraded camera hardware and an improved Image Signal Processor (ISP).[2] The devices feature a versatile triple-camera system, led by a 50MP main sensor[3], delivering sharp, detailed images across a wide range of lighting conditions without the need for manual adjustments.

When the lights go down, the Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G camera adapts seamlessly with improved Nightography[4], capturing clear and true-to-life photos and videos even in low light conditions.

Galaxy A57 5G takes photography a step further with enhanced image processing that sharpens detail and reduces noise for even clearer, more vibrant results. It delivers rich contrast and balanced color even in challenging light, while with a faster shutter speed, users can instantly capture fleeting moments faster and with improved clarity.[5]  

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G also benefit from AI-based subject recognition and scene optimization to balance portraits, preserve natural skin tones and create clearer background separation. When the moment calls for a wider perspective, the ultra-wide lens captures more in every group photo or landscape view, while the 5MP macro camera reveals fine details up close for added creative flexibility.

Performance for Streaming and Multitasking

Galaxy A57 5G delivers the best of both design and performance[6], combining upgraded CPU, GPU and NPU to deliver improved performance with its sleek and light form. Built for smooth streaming, scrolling and content creation, its refined design features a glossy finish and distinctive triple-camera island for a standout modern look that feels comfortable in-hand. 

Despite its slimmer profile, Galaxy A57 5G packs powerful performance. Its 5,000mAh[1] battery supports up to two days of use[2] — powering everything from filming and editing to viewing on the go. Slimmer bezels and a bright Super AMOLED + display with Vision Booster ensure an immersive, clear viewing experience indoors and outside.

Built for everyday use, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G are rated IP68[3] for water and dust resistance, adding durability in real-world environments and offering users peace of mind when accidents happen. 


Long-Term Support and Foundational Security

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G reinforce Samsung’s commitment to device longevity, offering up to six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades, along with up to six years of security updates[4] – giving users the confidence to rely on their device for years to come.

Samsung provides a fortified layer of device safety, transparency and user choice with Knox Vault[5], a hardware-based, tamper-resistant security solution. Galaxy A series offers users holistic protection through innovative security and privacy features including Security & Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Private Sharing, Theft Protection as well as the new Private Album, a Gallery feature that allows users to lock away personal media quickly and easily. Unlike traditional safeguards, the latest A series devices also proactively notify users about potential risks with Privacy Alerts, which are intelligent notifications that offer clearer insight and control over location permissions or suspicious monitoring of sensitive data. Together, these enhancements make security feel as intuitive as the rest of the experience, making device protection easier than ever for everyone.

Availability

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G is now available in Samsung Authorized Stores nationwide. Galaxy A57 5G will be offered in Awesome Navy, Awesome Gray, Awesome Icyblue and Awesome Lilac,[6] while Galaxy A37 5G comes in Awesome Lavender, Awesome Charcoal, Awesome Graygreen, and Awesome White.[7]

For added peace of mind, Samsung Care+ offers comprehensive coverage optimized to users' device needs, including tailored benefits that protect the devices’ value.[1]

Every purchase comes with a free travel adapter (worth P1,190) and phone case (worth P990), alongside two-year Samsung Care+ warranty for total peace of mind.  And for a limited time only, you can get the 256GB variant at an additional P1,500 off! That's up to P5,170 worth of savings.

Looking to upgrade to the Galaxy ecosystem? Take 40% off the Galaxy Fit3, Watch8, Buds3 FE, and Buds Core with every purchase of the Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37 5G too. 

Offers valid until June 30 only*. For more information on the latest Galaxy A series devices, please visit:

 How foodpanda is bringing the "Summer State of Mind" to the busiest of calendars.

For the high-achievers, the students pulling late nights, and the professionals navigating a never-ending queue of tasks, "summer" often feels like something happening to other people. While the world seems to be packing suitcases, many are still packing their schedules with deadlines and deliverables.

The Grind Doesn’t Stop, But Summer Doesn’t Have to Wait

But here is the thing: summer isn’t just a destination—it’s a feeling. It’s found in the small victories, the intentional pauses, and the simple luxury of a cold drink or a favorite meal delivered right when you need it most.


Redefining the Summer Break

When a full-blown vacation isn’t on the itinerary, the "in-between" moments become your sanctuary. It’s that thirty-minute window between meetings or that quiet hour after a long day of study. foodpanda and pandamart are stepping in to ensure those pockets of time actually feel like a reprieve, offering easy access to seasonal essentials without the need to battle the heat outside.

The Best Sellers for the Best Moments
To help make the daily hustle feel a little more like a holiday, foodpanda is launching its Best Seller Campaign. You can enjoy up to 30% off on top-tier favorites from restaurants like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Shakey’s, Domino’s Pizza, and Conti’s. Whether it’s a quick fuel-up or a celebratory dinner after a major win, these deals ensure your workday treats are as rewarding as they are delicious.

The Grind Doesn’t Stop, But Summer Doesn’t Have to Wait



Small Wins, Big Savings
Making space for summer shouldn’t break the bank. To keep the season light, use the code SARAP for ₱100 off at participating restaurants. For those stocking up on cooling essentials at home, pandamart offers up to 10% off on pantry must-haves.

If you are a PRO user, the perks get even better:
Up to 20% off on food orders.
Free delivery (capped at ₱49).

The Grind Doesn’t Stop, But Summer Doesn’t Have to Wait



Summer is What You Make of It
At the end of the day, the heat of the season is better managed with a little help. Sometimes, the most refreshing part of summer isn’t a plane ticket—it’s the convenience of having exactly what you crave, exactly when you need it. By choosing how we pause and what we eat, we can turn even the busiest workday into a summer experience.

 Let’s be honest: the traditional grocery run rarely feels like a "run." It’s more of a trek—navigating traffic, hunting for a parking spot, and weaving through crowded aisles, all while trying to beat the closing whistle. For anyone balancing a packed calendar or a non-traditional work schedule, fitting that trip into a 9-to-5 window is often the biggest hurdle of the week.

Never run out of groceries: pandamart is now open 24/7

This is where pandamart steps in, shifting the focus from "fitting in" a shop to shopping whenever it actually fits you. As the first 24/7 online full-scale grocery store in the Philippines, it’s designed for the reality of modern life—where a craving for fresh fruit might hit at 3 PM, or a need for laundry detergent arises at 3 AM.

More Than Just a Convenience Store

While we’re used to grabbing a quick snack at a corner store, pandamart offers the full pantry experience. We’re talking:

  • Fresh Essentials: Produce, raw meats, and dairy.

  • Daily Staples: Grains, canned goods, and snacks.

  • Household Bulk: Cleaning supplies and toiletries.

Whether you're a graveyard-shift professional getting home as the sun rises or a small business owner needing a quick restock, the goal is to provide a complete grocery list without the front-door exit.

Quality Meets the Clock

"We recognize that consumer needs are always changing, and we need to keep up with them," says Joseph Wijesekara, Director for Q-Commerce of foodpanda Philippines. According to Wijesekara, the mission is to bridge the gap between convenience, quality, and affordability—three things that don't always go hand-in-hand.

This 24/7 service isn't just a boutique offering; it’s fully operational across major hubs like Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Baguio, and Pampanga, ensuring that "anytime" truly means anytime for millions of Filipinos.

Never run out of groceries: pandamart is now open 24/7


Making the Most of the App

Beyond saving time, there’s a clear focus on the bottom line. The experience is built to be cost-effective through:

  • Regular Vouchers & Promos: In-app discounts that keep daily essentials affordable.

  • pandapro Perks: Subscribers can skip the delivery fees entirely, making the digital aisle even more appealing than the physical one.

Ready to reclaim your time? Skip the lines and the heavy lifting. You can find the full pandamart catalog right inside the foodpanda app—ready whenever you are.

The top telco brand partners with global tech leaders Sagemcom, Bang & Olufsen, and Dolby to design a breakthrough high-end streaming device

PLDT Home Life raises the bar for home entertainment in the Philippines with the launch of StreamTV+ – a new premium streaming device created in collaboration with Sagemcom, Bang & Olufsen, and Dolby. This powerhouse lineup features global experts in hardware design, cinematic sound, and smart technology to create one sleek device designed for the way Filipino families stream and connect at home.



StreamTV+ is the latest innovation from the country’s leading telco, going beyond fiber-fast internet to deliver the ultimate entertainment experience customers have been waiting for. It’s the dream setup for many: with stunning 4K visuals made richer with Dolby Vision, multi-dimensional sound powered by Dolby Atmos, audio refined by Bang & Olufsen, and voice control of TV and smart home devices powered by Google Assistant, it transforms any living room into a smarter, more cinematic space – without the clutter of multiple gadgets. 



‘Cinema in a box’

StreamTV+ packs crisp visuals, expertly tuned audio, and smart technology into one sleek, compact streaming box.

 As a global leader in high-end communication solutions, Sagemcom served as PLDT Home Life’s technology partner in designing the core hardware of StreamTV+. This ensures the “cinema in a box” promise is built on world-class reliability and cutting-edge design – delivering a sleek, easily portable hub that brings all major streaming platforms together in stunning 4K clarity. 

Thanks to Dolby Atmos technology and audio that is refined by Bang & Olufsen, StreamTV+ delivers  clear dialogue, balanced sound, controlled bass, and immersive audio that enhances movies, shows, and live sports – without the need for additional sound equipment. Expect a true, three-dimensional soundstage that brings the roar of a stadium or the subtle whispers of a thriller directly into your living space, no matter the content source: Netflix, HBO Max, Cignal, and more. 

Beyond just an entertainment box, StreamTV+ transforms into a hands-free smart home command center with integrated voice control. The device supports Google Assistant, allowing users to control their TV and compatible smart home devices through voice commands. Powered by Wi-Fi 6, StreamTV+ ensures stable, high-quality streaming for everyday use.



The standard in home entertainment

PLDT Home Life launched StreamTV in 2024, redefining home entertainment with the combined capabilities of an Android TV device, an AI‑powered smart speaker, and a virtual assistant in one intuitive unit. The telco brand has consistently focused on initiatives that will provide subscribers with better value and enrich their digital lifestyle. 

By recently partnering with global technology leaders for StreamTV+, PLDT Home Life delivers a cinema-grade entertainment experience that remains accessible to modern Filipino homes. 

“It’s big sound and crisp movies and videos in a box!” said PLDT Senior Vice President and Consumer Business Head John Y. Palanca.

“At PLDT Home, we are committed to delivering best‑in‑class connectivity and digital solutions that push the smart home experience forward. By collaborating with global technology leaders such as Sagemcom, Dolby, Bang & Olufsen, and Google, we’re bringing cutting‑edge innovation directly into Filipino homes. This new offering integrates advanced hardware, immersive audio‑visual technologies, and an intelligent platform designed to deliver a seamless, cinema‑grade entertainment experience. It reflects our goal to empower customers with reliable, high‑performance tools that elevate how they consume content and enjoy their connected lifestyle.” 

Duncan McCue, Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Bang & Olufsen, added, “We’re excited to bring Audio by Bang & Olufsen into more homes with the StreamTV+, delivering immersive sound that enhances both TV and music experiences for consumers.”

 Olivier Taravel, Senior Executive Vice President of the Audio Video Solutions Business Unit at Sagemcom, stated: "We are proud to stand behind this groundbreaking product and to be PLDT Home Life’s partner in bringing the StreamTV+ to the Filipino market. This all-in-one solution delivers a unique value proposition that is driving higher customer satisfaction, loyalty, and a growing Net Promoter Score." 

With StreamTV+, PLDT Home further strengthens its position as a leader in home connectivity and digital innovation. The focus goes beyond speed – it’s about delivering a complete, high-quality entertainment experience designed for Filipino families.

Following its successful hosting of the ASEAN Travel Exchange, Lapu-Lapu City’s newest icon is set to welcome the region’s most distinguished leaders for the 48th ASEAN Leaders’ Summit this May.


History has a way of coming full circle. Exactly 505 years after Ferdinand Magellan first stepped onto Philippine shores, a new landmark has been unveiled in Lapu-Lapu City that aims to bring the world back to Cebu—this time, on our own terms.

On March 16, 2026, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. officially inaugurated the Mactan Expo. This isn’t just another glass-and-steel box; it’s the architectural heartbeat of Megaworld’s 30-hectare Mactan Newtown township.




More Than Just a Meeting Space

The Mactan Expo is a masterclass in "Tropical Modernism." Eschewing the sterile aesthetic of traditional convention centers, this venue features surfaces embedded with local shells and indigenous textures that celebrate Cebuano craftsmanship. While it’s a pillarless giant capable of holding 3,000 people, it remains intimately connected to its surroundings via a veranda that opens directly toward the pristine Mactan Newtown Beach.

"The Mactan Expo serves as an important platform... a strong example of how the government and the private sector can work together—from start to finish—to deliver something meaningful and successful."

— Kevin L. Tan, CEO of Alliance Global Group



Why This Matters Now

This isn't just a "build it and they will come" project; the world is already arriving.

  • The Global Debut: Fresh off hosting the ASEAN Travel Exchange (TRAVEX), the Expo is already proving its operational mettle.

  • The Main Event: This May, it will serve as the official stage for the 48th ASEAN Leaders’ Summit, welcoming heads of state from across Southeast Asia.

  • The Cultural Anchor: Positioned adjacent to the upcoming Mactan World Museum, the Expo is the cornerstone of a plan to cement Cebu as the Philippines' premier "MICE" (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) destination.

At a Glance: The Mactan Expo

FeatureDetail
CapacityClose to 3,000 guests (Theatre-style)
VersatilityOne massive hall divisible into three smaller zones
DesignCollaborative work featuring Cebuano artists and natural finishes
ProximityLocated directly across from Mercure and Savoy Hotels

By blending a beachside atmosphere with high-stakes international diplomacy, Megaworld is doing more than opening a building—they are defining a legacy for the region.

Cebu has always been a city of beautiful contrasts—where the rugged mountains meet a bustling coastline. But until now, we’ve never quite seen it like this.

Elevate Your Cebu Experience: The NUSTAR Skydeck is Officially Open

The NUSTAR Skydeck has officially opened its doors, inviting locals and travelers alike to step out into the blue and experience the Queen City of the South from a staggering 100 meters above sea level.

A Walk in the Clouds

Forget your standard observation deck. The Skydeck at NUSTAR Resort Cebu is designed for those who want a little adrenaline with their sightseeing. The highlight is a sleek glass walkway that creates the illusion of floating over the Mactan Channel.

As you transition from the solid floor to the transparent glass, the view opens up beneath your feet, offering a panoramic blend of:

  • The Mactan Channel: Watch the ships navigate the blue waters below.

  • The City Skyline: A bird’s-eye view of Cebu’s evolving urban architecture.

  • The Coastline: See where the island's edge meets the sea in one continuous sweep.

Plan Your High-Altitude Visit

Whether you’re looking for a new "core memory" with the family or the ultimate backdrop for your next social media post, the Skydeck fits perfectly into any Cebu itinerary.

  • Introductory Rate: PHP 500 nett per person (single entry).

  • Availability: Tickets are limited to ensure the deck doesn't get too crowded, so booking ahead is highly recommended.

Pro-Tips for a Smooth Flight

To make sure your experience is more "heavenly" and less "hectic," keep these safety and courtesy reminders in mind:

CategoryAdvice
MovementWalk at a steady pace. It’s tempting to stare at your feet, but keep an eye on your surroundings!
PhotosPhotography is encouraged, but secure your phone with a strap if possible. No one wants a "gravity test" on their new smartphone.
ConductSave the cardio for the gym—running, jumping, or leaning over railings is strictly prohibited.
PatienceDuring sunset or peak hours, there may be a short wait to ensure the deck stays within its safe capacity.

Note: The NUSTAR staff are there to keep things safe. Always follow on-site instructions so everyone can enjoy the view without worry.

The NUSTAR Skydeck isn't just an attraction; it’s a new landmark for Philippine tourism. If you’re ready to see Cebu from a perspective that usually requires wings, this is your sign to head to the top.
