Samsung Galaxy A37 5G review

Galaxy A37 5G is the lowest-priced phone on this list, and Samsung did not cut the basics to get there. Samsung's page lists a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 1480 octa-core processor, a 5,000 mAh typical battery and IP68 water and dust resistance. Software support runs to 6 OS upgrades and 6 years of security updates, close to the 7 years Google gives Pixel phones. The rear cameras are a 50MP wide with optical image stabilization, an 8MP ultra wide and a 5MP macro, with a 12MP front camera. The 128GB model has 6GB of RAM; the 256GB model has 8GB for $609.99. Super Fast Charging 2.0 reaches 60% in 30 minutes, but only with a 45W charger sold separately. Galaxy AI basics such as Object Eraser and Circle to Search are included. Buyers who can spend $110 more get a faster chip in Galaxy A57.
