JAKARTA - The line between flagship and mid-range HP is getting blurred. Samsung officially brings super fast connectivity features to the more "wallet-friendly" class through the Samsung Galaxy A57.
For the first time, the non-flagship Galaxy line now supports Wi-Fi 6E - a technology previously exclusive to premium devices.
This step is a clear signal: high-end features are starting to "downgrade", and ordinary users are getting a splash of elite performance without having to pay dearly.
Wi-Fi is More Active, Latency is More RelaxedWi-Fi 6E opens access to the 6GHz frequency band, which is much more relieved than 2.4GHz and 5GHz. This means that the connection is more stable, fast, and less prone to interference - especially in dense environments such as apartments or offices.
In the real world, this means smoother streaming, faster downloads, and video calls that don't break off at important moments (yes, no more awkward "hello? hello?").
For gamers, lower latency makes the response faster. Meanwhile, remote workers can enjoy online meetings without buffering that is ngeselin.
But there's an important caveat: Wi-Fi 6E's maximum performance can only be felt if the user is using a compatible router. Without it, the device still runs on the regular Wi-Fi network.
The Galaxy A57 price itself is pegged starting at around $549 for the 128GB variant, with the 256GB version touching the $600 range.
Strategically, this move reinforces Samsung's new direction: no longer just selling expensive flagships, but expanding the premium experience to the mid-segment.
