Samsung’s Galaxy A series has always been about giving you solid features without emptying your wallet. The new Galaxy A37 looks like it’s aiming to be the new champion of the mid-range. The big news? It’s reportedly powered by the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor and packs a massive 7500mAh battery. I’ve been using a test model for the past couple of weeks. Is this the battery king we’ve been waiting for, or does it cut too many corners? Let’s break it down.
First Look & Feel
Right out of the box, the Galaxy A37 feels surprisingly premium. It doesn’t have the glass back of the flagship models, but the matte plastic finish is smooth, doesn’t attract fingerprints, and feels sturdy in the hand. It’s a bit thicker than most phones, which you notice immediately. That’s the trade-off for the huge battery inside. The phone I tested had a simple, clean look that felt modern and practical, not flashy.
Display: Big and Bright
The A37 sports a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display. This is a win. Samsung always does great screens, even on budget phones. The colors are vibrant, and blacks are deep. Watching videos is a good experience. It gets bright enough to see under indoor lights, though direct sunlight can still be a bit of a challenge. The screen has a standard 90Hz refresh rate. Scrolling through social media or menus feels smooth, not super silky like a 120Hz screen, but definitely better than an old 60Hz display. For this price range, it’s a very good screen.
Camera: Good for Daylight, Simple at Night
Samsung says the A37 has a 50MP main camera. In practice, in good daylight, the photos are sharp with nice colors. It captures plenty of detail for sharing on social media. The 8MP ultra-wide lens lets you fit more into the shot, but the quality drops a bit, especially at the edges.
The 5MP macro camera is there, but honestly, it’s pretty basic. Don’t expect amazing close-up shots. The front camera takes decent selfies that are fine for video calls and Instagram.
Where the camera struggles a bit is in low light. Photos get grainy and lose detail. There’s a Night Mode that helps brighten things up, but it doesn’t work miracles. For well-lit situations, the camera is perfectly capable. Just don’t buy this phone expecting flagship-level photography in the dark.
Battery: The Real Beast
This is the star of the show. The 7500mAh battery is absolutely massive. I am a heavy user—lots of YouTube, social media, browsing, and some gaming. With the A37, I consistently ended the day with 40-50% battery left. It was unbelievable. For more average users, this phone could easily last two full days.
The trade-off? Charging is slow. It only supports 25W fast charging, and with a battery this big, it takes over 90 minutes to go from empty to full. You’ll need to charge it overnight. But if you hate battery anxiety, this phone is a dream.
Performance: The New Snapdragon Punch
This is the other big headline. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 is a new processor aimed at the mid-range. My experience was very positive. Everyday tasks like switching between apps, browsing, and streaming were smooth and snappy. I played games like Genshin Impact on medium settings, and it handled them well with only minor frame drops during intense action. It didn’t get uncomfortably hot, which is a plus.
It comes with 8GB of RAM, which kept most apps ready in the background. For most people, the performance will feel very fast and capable. It’s a solid step up from previous A-series chips.
Expected Price & Variants
The Samsung Galaxy A37 is expected to start at around ₹23,999 in India for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. There might be a higher variant with 256GB storage for a bit more. At this price, it’s going right up against phones like the Redmi Note series and realme’s offerings.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Does it have 5G?
Yes, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor comes with 5G support, so the A37 is future-proofed for faster networks.
2. Is there expandable storage?
Yes, thankfully. You can add a microSD card to expand the storage, which is great for storing photos, videos, and music.
3. How is the software?
It runs Samsung’s One UI on top of Android 14. It’s clean and comes with useful Samsung features and apps. Samsung promises 3 years of major Android updates, which is excellent.
4. Is the phone too heavy or thick?
It is noticeably thicker and a bit heavier than most phones because of the battery. If you’re used to slim phones, you’ll feel the difference. But for many, the amazing battery life will be worth the extra bulk.
Final Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy A37 makes a very compelling case for itself. It does two things exceptionally well: it has unbeatable battery life and offers reliable, smooth performance thanks to the new Snapdragon chip. The display is also a highlight. You do make some compromises: the low-light camera is just okay, the charging is slow, and the phone is chunky.
Who is it for? It’s perfect for students, heavy users, travellers, or anyone who is tired of charging their phone by dinnertime. If a long-lasting battery and dependable performance are your top priorities, the Galaxy A37 is one of the best options in its price range. Just go in knowing you’re carrying a power bank that can also make calls.
