Third-party reviews

What customers like about Samsung Galaxy A37 5G

  • The 120 Hz screen makes scrolling and games look smooth.
  • A 5000 mAh battery is large for a phone this size.
  • The 385 ppi OLED screen is sharp for reading and video.
  • The 1000000:1 contrast gives deep blacks on the OLED screen.
  • 128 GB of storage and 6 GB of RAM cover everyday use.
  • eSIM lets you add a second line without a card.

What customers don't like about Samsung Galaxy A37 5G

  • The 78.0 mm width makes one-handed use a stretch.
  • Without optical image stabilization, shaky hands show in video.
  • No wireless charging, so you need a cable every night.
  • No optical zoom, so distant subjects look soft when cropped.
  • No direct OS updates, so new software can arrive later.

Verdict

A smooth 120 Hz screen and a 5000 mAh battery are the main reasons to look at the Samsung Galaxy A37 5G. The 6.7-inch OLED panel is sharp at 385 ppi, and its high contrast of 1000000:1 makes dark scenes look deep. The 4 nm chip with a 2.75 GHz boost clock handles everyday apps and social media without fuss. Heavy games will run, but not with the speed of a flagship. There is 128 GB of storage and 6 GB of RAM, which is enough for messages, maps and photos. The trade-off is width: at 78.0 mm, it is a stretch to use one-handed. It suits a buyer who wants a bright, smooth screen and a battery that lasts, and who does not need a zoom lens.
