Critics' Take
Critics call the Galaxy A37 5G a solid, dependable mid-range phone that changes little from the A36. The bright OLED screen, IP68 rating, battery life and six years of updates earn praise. Performance from the carried-over Exynos 1480 and the price lead several reviewers to point to rivals such as the Pixel 10a.
What critics loved
- Bright 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display
- Six years of OS and security updates
- Strong battery life
- IP68 and Gorilla Glass Victus+ build
Common gripes
- Exynos 1480 performance is underwhelming
- Little change from the A36
- Weak ultra-wide camera
- No wireless charging, 45W charger not included
- Base model has only 128GB and no microSD slot
