## Announcement and availability
Samsung announced the Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G together in Seoul on March 25, 2026, describing them as the latest Galaxy A series devices carrying the company's enriched Awesome Intelligence suite to more users.[1](https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-galaxy-a57-a37-5g-pro-features-awesome-price) In the United States, the A37 5G went on sale from April 9, 2026 at $449.99 in Awesome Charcoal and Awesome Lavender, with Awesome Charcoal also sold through carriers nationwide.[3](https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-unveils-galaxy-a57-5g-galaxy-a37-5g-pro-level-features-awesome-price/?nab=1) Notebookcheck lists US configurations of 6 GB RAM with 128 GB storage at an MSRP of $450 and 8 GB with 256 GB at $540.[8](https://www.notebookcheck.net/Strong-but-the-competition-isn-t-sleeping-Samsung-Galaxy-A37-5G-review.1328741.0.html) A Korean launch followed with Awesome Lavender, Awesome White, and Awesome Charcoal color options.[2](https://news.samsung.com/kr/%EC%82%BC%EC%84%B1%EC%A0%84%EC%9E%90-%EA%B0%A4%EB%9F%AD%EC%8B%9C-a37-5g-%EA%B5%AD%EB%82%B4-%EC%B6%9C%EC%8B%9C)
## Hardware
**Display and design.** The A37 keeps the 6.7-inch [Super AMOLED](https://www.edgepedia.org/super-amoled) panel of the A36 at the same 1080 x 2340 resolution and 120 Hz maximum refresh rate, in a body measuring 162.9 x 78.2 x 7.4 mm and weighing 196 g.[2](https://news.samsung.com/kr/%EC%82%BC%EC%84%B1%EC%A0%84%EC%9E%90-%EA%B0%A4%EB%9F%AD%EC%8B%9C-a37-5g-%EA%B5%AD%EB%82%B4-%EC%B6%9C%EC%8B%9C) • [4](https://www.samsung.com/fr/guide-achat-mobile/comparatifs/galaxy-a36-vs-a37/) The front and back use Gorilla Glass Victus+ over a plastic frame.[4](https://www.samsung.com/fr/guide-achat-mobile/comparatifs/galaxy-a36-vs-a37/) • [9](https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/samsung-galaxy/samsung-galaxy-a37-vs-google-pixel-10a) In GSMArena's lab measurements the panel reached about 1,294 nits on a 75% white patch in auto mode and about 1,904 nits peak on a 10% window, close to Samsung's claimed 1,900-nit peak; manual maximum brightness was only 489 nits, so auto brightness is needed outdoors.[5](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a37-review-2952p3.php)
**Chipset and memory.** The main internal change from the A36 is the processor: Samsung switched from the [Qualcomm Snapdragon](https://www.edgepedia.org/qualcomm-snapdragon) 6 Gen 3 to its own Exynos 1480, built on a 4 nm process with an octa-core CPU (four Cortex-A78 cores at 2.75 GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores at 2 GHz) and an Xclipse GPU based on AMD architecture.[4](https://www.samsung.com/fr/guide-achat-mobile/comparatifs/galaxy-a36-vs-a37/) • [9](https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/samsung-galaxy/samsung-galaxy-a37-vs-google-pixel-10a) Android Central notes Samsung used the Exynos 1480 globally, giving the A37 a slender advantage over last year's model.[10](https://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-a-series-buyers-guide) Memory configurations include 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB RAM variants with up to 256 GB of storage, and neither the A37 nor its competitors in this comparison include a microSD card slot.[9](https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/samsung-galaxy/samsung-galaxy-a37-vs-google-pixel-10a)
**Battery and charging.** The 5,000 mAh battery supports 45 W wired charging via Power Delivery with PPS profiles, a speed the A37 adopted this year after the A56 and A57 had already moved to 45 W.[5](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a37-review-2952p3.php) • [11](https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/samsung-phones/galaxy-a57-and-galaxy-a37-hands-on-review) Samsung claims up to two days of battery life per charge, which Tech Advisor's reviewer found difficult to achieve in testing, though the phone comfortably offers a full day of use and reached 60% charge in 30 minutes.[12](https://www.techadvisor.com/article/3136097/samsung-galaxy-a37-5g-review.html) GSMArena measured 62% in 30 minutes.[5](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a37-review-2952p3.php) Unlike the [Pixel 10a](https://www.edgepedia.org/pixel-10a), the A37 offers no wireless charging.[9](https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/samsung-galaxy/samsung-galaxy-a37-vs-google-pixel-10a)
**Cameras.** The rear triple camera pairs a 50 MP main sensor with optical image stabilization and PDAF, an 8 MP ultrawide with a 123-degree field of view, and a 5 MP macro lens; the front camera is 12 MP.[2](https://news.samsung.com/kr/%EC%82%BC%EC%84%B1%EC%A0%84%EC%9E%90-%EA%B0%A4%EB%9F%AD%EC%8B%9C-a37-5g-%EA%B5%AD%EB%82%B4-%EC%B6%9C%EC%8B%9C) • [9](https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/samsung-galaxy/samsung-galaxy-a37-vs-google-pixel-10a) Video recording tops out at 4K at 30 fps.[9](https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/samsung-galaxy/samsung-galaxy-a37-vs-google-pixel-10a) Tech Advisor found the dedicated macro mode workable at the recommended 3 to 5 cm distance, with results varying by lighting and focus behavior.[12](https://www.techadvisor.com/article/3136097/samsung-galaxy-a37-5g-review.html)
## Software and performance
The phone launched on Android 16 with One UI 8.5 and Samsung's Awesome Intelligence AI features, including AI-powered photo editing tools such as object erasure and edit suggestions, plus voice transcription.[2](https://news.samsung.com/kr/%EC%82%BC%EC%84%B1%EC%A0%84%EC%9E%90-%EA%B0%A4%EB%9F%AD%EC%8B%9C-a37-5g-%EA%B5%AD%EB%82%B4-%EC%B6%9C%EC%8B%9C) • [1](https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-galaxy-a57-a37-5g-pro-features-awesome-price) Samsung's update policy for the device covers up to six OS upgrades and six years of security updates, which tbreak calculates as support through 2032.[1](https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/articles/samsung-galaxy-a57-a37-5g-pro-features-awesome-price) • [6](https://tbreak.com/samsung-galaxy-a37-review/) Samsung's firmware tracker for the SM-A376B shows Android 16 builds with security patch levels into August 2026.[13](https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-A376B/038043260423/eng.html)
**Thermals and benchmarks.** The Exynos 1480 runs cool. Running tbreak's 20-loop stress test in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme, the A37 achieved a top loop score of 1,045 against a bottom of 1,035, a stability figure of 99%, while its temperature climbed just from 32 °C to 34 °C.[6](https://tbreak.com/samsung-galaxy-a37-review/) GSMArena likewise found the chip loses little peak performance under stress testing, without major dips.[14](https://fo.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a37-review-2952p4.php) Raw speed is a weaker point: against the Nothing Phone 4a, the A37 led in GPU tests (4,024 versus 3,548 in Geekbench 6 GPU) but trailed in CPU tests (1,131 versus 1,247 single-core), and the Honor 600, running a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 at AED 120 less, outpaced it in every benchmark tbreak ran.[6](https://tbreak.com/samsung-galaxy-a37-review/) That reviewer also reported sluggish animations and an unreliable fingerprint reader in daily use.[6](https://tbreak.com/samsung-galaxy-a37-review/)
## Reception and comparisons
Reviewers converged on a similar verdict. Notebookcheck praised the high-quality build, everyday usability, long battery life, and very good call quality, while noting few real innovations over the predecessor and a lag behind competitors in camera and display.[8](https://www.notebookcheck.net/Strong-but-the-competition-isn-t-sleeping-Samsung-Galaxy-A37-5G-review.1328741.0.html) Android Central called it an unchanged mid-ranger with good software and six years of updates, but costly at $449 given the limited upgrades.[10](https://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-a-series-buyers-guide) PC-WELT, testing the German model at 429 euros, called it solid mid-range hardware without a wow effect and pointed to alternatives such as the Honor 600 Lite, Nothing Phone (4a), Moto G86 5G, Oppo Reno 13, [Google Pixel](https://www.edgepedia.org/google-pixel) 9a, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro.[7](https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3140779/samsung-galaxy-a37-5g-test.html)
Against the Google Pixel 10a, the A37 offers a larger 6.7-inch display, faster 45 W wired charging, and a slimmer 7.4 mm profile, while the Pixel 10a counters with a brighter 3,000-nit panel, 10 W wireless charging, and 4K at 60 fps video.[9](https://www.androidcentral.com/phones/samsung-galaxy/samsung-galaxy-a37-vs-google-pixel-10a) In Tom's Guide testing against the Trump Phone T1, the A37's screen peaked at 1,495 nits, more than double the T1's maximum, and both phones charged about 61 to 63% in 30 minutes.[15](https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/i-tortured-myself-for-2-weeks-with-the-trump-phone-heres-3-phones-under-usd500-that-are-way-better) Within Samsung's own lineup, the A57 5G sits above it with a Super AMOLED+ panel, a 12 MP ultrawide instead of 8 MP, and the newer Exynos 1680 chipset, at a $549.99 starting price.[3](https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-unveils-galaxy-a57-5g-galaxy-a37-5g-pro-level-features-awesome-price/?nab=1) • [5](https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a37-review-2952p3.php) • [11](https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/samsung-phones/galaxy-a57-and-galaxy-a37-hands-on-review)
