Apple iPhone 17e vs Samsung Galaxy A57
Our take
Two very different takes on a cheaper phone. The 17e has the much faster chip and wireless charging. The A57 has the bigger, smoother 120 Hz screen, an ultrawide camera and six major Android upgrades. Neither has a zoom lens.
Choose the Apple iPhone 17e
The pick if you're coming from an older iPhone, or if speed matters for games and video editing. It has the same A19 chip as the iPhone 17.
Choose the Samsung Galaxy A57
For a big, smooth screen and a second camera that fits more into the frame. If the price gap below is big, that settles it.
