budget-oriented or mid-range handsets that outperform their price tags especially those good enough to become fixtures in our list of the best cheap phones .

So I was pleased to find one of my top-rated picks, Samsung s Galaxy A57, hitting an all-time low price of AU$519 as part of Amazons Prime Big Deal Days, making it an even better value handset than ever. Samsung Galaxy A57 (128GB, Lilac): was AU$749 now AU$519 at Amazon

Beating its last all-time low price on Amazon of AU$597, this price makes an already affordable mid-range phone an even more compelling buy if youre in
the market for a new Android handset that nails all the basics, while also looking and feeling like a flagship. Our review gave it 4 out of 5 stars for its thin and light chassis and vibrant display and I personally had a blast using it . The Navy colour costs slightly more at AU$539 , while the 256GB model starts at AU$619 . View Deal I would go so far as to say that the
Galaxy A57 is a much better value than Samsungs new Galaxy S26 FE especially with its price hike from its predecessor with prices starting at AU$1,149.

With both handsets using 6.7-inch AMOLED displays, similar main and ultrawide camera specs, along with the same starting storage of 128GB and similar battery sizes, Id be hard-pressed to recommend the more expensive Galaxy S26 FE unless you really want a telephoto camera, wireless charging and the full Galaxy AI suite.

The Galaxy A57 brings a fair few upgrades over the just-as-excellent Galaxy A56 from last year, including a much thinner and lighter chassis (6.9mm thick and 179g compared to the A56s 7.4mm depth and 198g weight), a faster Exynos 1680 chipset that can now handle more AI tasks, and an IP68 durability rating (up from IP67).

If you dont need flagship specs but want something that still feels like a premium handset, you cant go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy A57, especially at this rock-bottom price point.
