Although the Galaxy A37 and the Galaxy A57 share the same key specifications, the latter outperforms the former in terms of performance and camera capabilities. The Galaxy A37, on the other hand, is more affordable, since it’s considered an ‘upper mid-range option’, while the A57 is positioned as a ‘premium mid-range flagship alternative’.

Although they have the same screen size, the Galaxy A57 is, upon release, the slimmest smartphone in the A Series, measuring 162.9 x 78.2 x 7.4mm. Overall, the choice depends on your needs. If you aim for a great-value smartphone that has a quality camera system, a long-lasting battery and access to some of the latest AI features, the Galaxy A37 can provide these and more. However, if you’re looking for flagship-like features at a more accessible price, opt for the Galaxy A57.

The Galaxy A37 is equipped with Samsung’s own Exynos 1480. The chipset is one of the most important components of a smartphone: it determines how fast your phone runs apps and games, plus it processes all your photos and videos, manages your battery life, network connections and AI features.

The Exynos 1480 is a strong mid-range chipset, especially for Samsung’s Galaxy A series. Overall, it brings genuine upgrades compares to its predecessor, including better CPU and GPU performance, higher 5G download speeds and stronger AI capability.

The Samsung Galaxy A37 supports 5G – the latest generation of mobile network technology that delivers faster internet speeds, quicker response times and more reliable connections than 4G.

What’s more, the Galaxy A37 can connect to 5G Ultra. As opposed to regular 5G, which still relies on 4G infrastructure to work, 5G Ultra is Vodafone’s standalone, end-to-end 5G network. It has several benefits, including:

• Ultra-low latency – near-instant response times for gaming, video calls and applications

• More reliable connections – especially in crowded areas like stadiums or city centres

• Better network efficiency – more devices can connect without slowing down

Whenever 5G isn’t available, the Galaxy A37 switches directly to 4G LTE for smooth connectivity on the go.

The Galaxy A37 has a 5,000mAh battery – this is the typical capacity, which shows the average amount you’ll get under normal conditions. Currently, this is one of the most long-lasting battery capacities on the market – especially among Samsung’s Galaxy S, Z and A models.

Samsung promises two days between charges, and the Galaxy A37 also supports 45W superfast charging, which allows you to juice it up to 60% in just 30 minutes.

Yes, the Galaxy A37 supports 45W superfast charging, which means that, on average, you can charge up your phone to 60% in 30 minutes.

This is one of Samsung’s top wired charging speeds, offering considerably faster charging than 25W and 15W models.

No, the Samsung Galaxy A37 doesn’t have a charger in the box. It comes with Samsung’s standard starter pack, which includes a USB-C to USB-C cable, a SIM ejection pin and a quick start guide.

If you don’t already have a USB-C charger, you need to buy one separately. Any USB-C charger works, but models with higher wattage charge faster. Visit Vodafone Accessories to choose the one that’s right for you.

The Samsung Galaxy A37 has a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, making it a responsive screen with vibrant colours and sharp details.

Thanks to its super slim bezels, the Galaxy A37 provides an immersive visual experience for scrolling, browsing and gaming. Plus, it features Vision Booster, which automatically increases screen brightness and adjusts contrast when you’re in direct sunlight, making the display easier to see outdoors.

The Galaxy A37 5G has a versatile triple-camera setup and a 12MP front camera:

• Main camera (50MP with OIS) – your everyday camera. The high megapixel count captures details, while optical image stabilisation reduces blur from shaky hands. This is helpful for sharper photos and smoother videos.

• Ultra-wide camera (8MP) – recommended for landscapes or group photos, since you can fit more into one frame.

• Macro camera (5MP) – for extreme close-ups of small objects, like flowers or textures.

• Low-light performance – featuring Nightography, with improved processing for night shots, pulling in more light so your photos are brighter and clearer in dim conditions.

• Front camera (12MP with HDR) – balancing lighting automatically, which is particularly useful for video calls and selfies in tricky conditions.

This is a solid camera system for an upper mid-range smartphone, providing decent detail, steady shots and better performance when lighting isn’t ideal.

Yes, the Galaxy A37 5G includes several AI features, though not as many as Samsung’s flagship models.

Here are some of the AI features available on the Galaxy A37:

• Circle to Search with Google – circle anything on your screen to search for it instantly, even for multiple objects simultaneously

• Object Eraser – remove unwanted objects or people from photos

• Edit Suggestion – AI-powered photo editing recommendations

• Filters and Auto Trim – smart photo and video adjustments

The Galaxy A37 has a full range of useful everyday AI tools covering photo editing and smart search. However, if cutting-edge AI features are a priority for you, you should explore Samsung’s flagship range, with models such as the Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S26

Yes, the Galaxy A37 has dual SIM capability, which means you can simultaneously have two active phone numbers on the same smartphone, in the following configurations:

• Two physical nano-SIMs (SIM1 + SIM2)

• Physical nano-SIM + eSIM (SIM1 + eSIM)

• Two eSIMs (eSIM + eSIM)

Dual SIM functionality is useful if you:

• Travel abroad and need a local SIM while keeping your UK number active

• Want to separate work and personal calls

• Need to switch between networks for better coverage

• Have different deals for different networks for calls and data

Yes, the Galaxy A37 is waterproof with an IP68 rating. Along with the Galaxy A57, these are the first models in the Samsung A series to have this rating.

This means that both smartphones are completely dust-tight and are resistant to water when submerged in up to 1.5 metres of water for up to 30 minutes.

Please note that IP68 doesn’t cover all liquids: coffee, seawater or chlorinated pool water can still cause damage. Dust and water resistance can deteriorate over time due to normal wear and tear, and most warranties don’t cover water damage, even with this rating.

The Galaxy A37 launched with Android 16 and supports up to six OS upgrades. On top of those major updates, you’ll receive regular security patches for at least six years. These fix vulnerabilities and are meant to keep your phone safe from threats.

All in all, the Galaxy A37 is supported until approximately 2032 – ideal longevity for mid-range smartphones.
