Samsung Galaxy A57 Leak Hints at Exynos 1680 Chipset, Launch Likely in 2026
Just months after the debut of the Samsung Galaxy A56, the first signs of its successor, likely to be called the Samsung Galaxy A57, have emerged through a new leak. While it's still early days and a launch is not anticipated before March 2026, tech insiders have already begun speculating about what the next-generation A-series device might bring to the table.
According to a recent report from GalaxyClub, the upcoming Galaxy A57 is expected to be powered by Samsung's in-house Exynos 1680 chipset. The chip, which reportedly carries the model number S5E8865 and is internally codenamed "Terra", is currently undergoing testing. Built on AMD's architecture, the Exynos 1680 is also said to include the Xclipse 550 GPU, which is tipped to deliver superior performance over the Xclipse 540 GPU found in the Exynos 1580 powering the current Galaxy A56.
However, while these early specifications sound promising, it's still too early to gauge what kind of real-world performance improvements the Exynos 1680 might deliver. Beyond this initial leak, there's little confirmed information available about the Galaxy A57, and we'll likely have to wait until next year to hear more concrete details about Samsung's next A-series offering.
For now, Samsung's attention remains firmly on its existing mid-range flagship, the Galaxy A56, which is currently the top-tier device in the Galaxy A series. Ever since Samsung retired the A7x line, the A5x series has taken centre stage in the brand's mid-range lineup.
In India, the Galaxy A56 is priced starting at Rs 38,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. Additional models include 8GB + 256GB for Rs 41,999 and 12GB + 256GB for Rs 44,999.
The device features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,200 nits of brightness in High Brightness Mode. Protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+, the phone is equipped with an Exynos 1580 processor, a 5,000mAh battery, and supports 45W fast wired charging. Camera-wise, it offers a 50MP triple rear camera setup and a 12MP front shooter, available in Awesome Graphite and Awesome Olive colour options.
As we await further updates on the Galaxy A57, Samsung fans can enjoy the A56's solid performance and premium features in the mid-range segment.

Charging ahead: EVs zoom in India with more public charging stations
Electric vehicles in India are gaining pace, supported by strong government initiatives. The Ministry of Heavy Industries launched the PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) scheme in September 2024 to boost EV adoption, expand charging infrastructure, and develop the domestic EV manufacturing sector. The scheme has a budget of Rs 10,900 crore over two years, from October 2024 to March 2026, with Rs 2,000 crore earmarked specifically for setting up public EV charging stations upDelhi leads the country in electricity consumption for EV charging. According to the Central Electricity Authority, India consumed 763 million units of electricity at EV charging stations between April 2024 and February 2025. Delhi alone accounted for 40.1 per cent of that. Maharashtra and Karnataka followed with 192.3 and 64.7 million units, respectively, while Gujarat ranked fourth. Combined, these four states represent over 80 per cent of the nation's electricity use for EV charging. From 2017 to 2024, India has witnessed a steady rise in the number of publicly available EV charging points, both slow and fast, as highlighted in the International Energy Agency's Global EV Outlook 2024 report. In 2017, the country had only 220 slow chargers. By 2024, this number surged to 47,000. Slow chargers usually take 6–8 hours to charge cars and are mostly used at homes or workplaces. Fast charging points, on the other hand, grew in number from just 25 in 2018 to 28,000 in 2024. Projections indicate that by 2030, India will have over two lakh publicly available slow chargers and nearly 1.6 lakh fast availability of public EV charging stations varies widely across states. Delhi has 8.8 charging stations per lakh people, Karnataka has 8.4, and Goa has 8.6. However, Maharashtra only has 2.9 charging stations per lakh people, Rajasthan 1.4, and Gujarat like Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal also have inadequate charging facilities relative to their population size. On average, there are only 1.8 public EV charging stations per lakh people across the IndiaIndia's EV shift is already delivering environmental dividends. As per PM E-DRIVE data, current EV usage in India saves approximately 15.5 lakh litres of fuel daily, while reducing daily carbon dioxide emissions by over 22.6 lakh Watch

Indian Techie Shares How He Went From Rs 6 Lakh To Rs 18 Lakh To Rs 0 Salary In A Month
In recent months, Reddit has become a popular platform for employees to share their job struggles and workplace concerns. Several subreddits have emerged where employees anonymously share their stories and also connect with others who face similar challenges. Recently, one young Indian developer took to the platform to share how his dream turned into a nightmare after a job offer from a US startup was withdrawn just as he was set to join, leaving him unemployed. In a post shared on the subreddit r/developersIndia, the techie revealed that he saw his salary increase from Rs 6 lakh per annum to a promised Rs 18 lakh per annum, only to crash back down to zero. "I was a full-stack dev at an Indian startup, grinding at 6 LPA. Learned a ton, and after a lot of effort, landed a contract offer from a very early-stage US-based startup that looked like a dream - promising around 18 LPA," the developer shared. "Everything seemed set. I put in my papers at my old job, went through all the onboarding formalities with the new US startup, and served my notice period. But just as I was ready to officially start, they hit me with the news: due to sudden internal restructuring and unforeseen changes in their needs (which I very much suspect translates to they found some other candidate as I could see a new person join their slack before I was hit with the mail but again I'm not entirely sure), they had to revoke my offer," he continued. I went from 6 LPA to 18 LPA and back to 0 over a span of a month by u/Hiddenskeptic in developersIndia The Redditor shared that the company did offer to pay him for 15 days as a goodwill gesture. "But it doesn't change the fact that I'm now unexpectedly unemployed," he said. "Trying to apply like a freak and getting literally no callbacks and it's been a tough pill to swallow, going from that high to this low so quickly," he added. "I have 1.6 years of experience, primarily as a full-stack next company I join will be my third, and so far, my entire career has been with startups. While the learning is immense, the uncertainty has been real. I'm now considering having some stability, a place where I can contribute and grow for at least 2-3 years. That doesn't mean I'll stop grinding or upskilling; I'm always eager to learn and push myself, but a bit more predictability would be welcome," the Redditor wrote. The developer turned to the Reddit community for support. "If anyone has any leads, referrals, or just some advice on navigating this, I'd be incredibly grateful. Thanks for reading," he concluded. The post quickly gained traction online. While some users resonated with the post, others praised the techie for handling his setback with dignity. "Something like this is happening to me too. I can understand your pain bro. I suggest you should post this in linkedin and twitter some kind HR or another dev might help over there," wrote one user. "Always do a thorough research before joining a company which offers impeccable pay raise from your last CTC especially startups. All the best for your journey mate," commented another. "Make a post on linkedin regarding this and mention you are available to join next day. Nice post btw, didn't feel like you were crying or something," suggested a third user. "This is a bad situation. Those companies should be sued but the government is not doing enough," expressed one user.
