Buy the Galaxy A37 5G at Amazon's $349.99 Prime Big Deal Days price (Oct 7, 2026; Samsung's list is now $489.99 after an October rise from the $449.99 launch price) if you want a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED phone with IP68 and six years of OS updates. Engadget measured 29 h 10 min of video playback, about an hour ahead of the Pixel 10a, though PCMag's tougher test got 10 h 35 min and PCMag still preferred the Pixel. Skip it at full price, because the Galaxy A57 is $399.99 for Prime members and the A37's Exynos 1480 is the chip Samsung first used in the 2024 Galaxy A55. It has no wireless charging or microSD slot, needs 68 minutes to fill with a 45W charger that isn't in the box (Notebookcheck), and Engadget found the fingerprint reader mediocre.
