Editorial

Like the rest of Samsung's 2026, the A37 suffers from lack of inspiration - it seems it is build to be "just enough" of an upgrade and not to threaten Samsung's better devices. Compared to A57, it is just-so lower in raw performance, battery endurance and charging speed, screen brightness and ultrawide performance. Problem is, with A56 being so much better, that 1 year old phone is a cheaper and an obvious choice over the A37. And so are midrangers from Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo and Nothing. Samsung is betting their 6 year long OS support policy combined with global service, advanced AI integration and well developed ecosystem will carry A37 to "just enough" sales numbers.
