Designed for optimal durability with IP68 water resistance rating.
In terms of appearance, the Galaxy A37 5G maintains Samsung's signature design language with flat edges and gently curved corners, providing a secure grip with a slim profile of only 7.4mm. The most valuable upgrade is its water and dust resistance, meeting the IP68 standard, higher than the IP67 rating of its predecessor.
The phone uses a premium plastic frame combined with Gorilla Glass Victus+ on both sides, optimizing scratch and impact resistance. The matte, smooth back not only provides a luxurious look but also minimizes fingerprint smudges. In Vietnam, users can choose from a variety of colors including Black, Purple, Dark Green, and White.
120Hz AMOLED display with ultra-high brightness.
Display capabilities are one of the biggest strengths of the Galaxy A37 5G. It boasts a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution (1080 x 2340 pixels). In practical testing, the maximum brightness can reach 1904 nits in smaller display areas, comparable to high-end flagship models.
In addition, the 120Hz refresh rate automatically adjusts based on the application, ensuring smooth swiping and touching while optimizing battery life. The device also supports Google Widevine L1 DRM, allowing for a high-resolution Netflix experience.
Superior performance from the 4nm Exynos 1480 chip.
The power of the Galaxy A37 5G comes from the Exynos 1480 processor, manufactured using a modern 4nm process. With an 8-core architecture and speeds up to 2.75 GHz, combined with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, the device offers extremely stable multitasking and gaming performance.
In benchmark tests, the Galaxy A37 5G demonstrated superior performance compared to its predecessor and direct competitors:
- Geekbench 6:It scored 1137 points in single-core performance and 3345 points in multi-core performance (surpassing the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G).
- Antutu 10:It achieved a total score of 697,795, significantly higher than the 613,492 score of the Galaxy A36.
- Software:Running OneUI 8.5 on Android 16, it fully integrates Galaxy AI features and is committed to providing operating system updates for up to 6 years.
The 50MP camera system supports OIS (Optical Image Stabilization).
Samsung equips the Galaxy A37 5G with a versatile triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP main sensor (f/1.8) with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 5MP macro camera. The 12MP front-facing selfie camera is well-suited for portrait photography and video calls.
The main camera's image quality is highly rated for its sharpness and accurate colors. The device supports 4K video recording on both sides with good image stabilization. However, the secondary cameras, such as the wide-angle and macro cameras, are only adequate, sufficient for use in favorable lighting conditions.
Battery life and 45W fast charging technology.
Although it maintains the same 5000 mAh battery capacity as the previous generation, thanks to the power-efficient Exynos 1480 chip, the actual usage time has increased significantly. Tests show that the device can last for more than 13 hours of continuous use, surpassing its predecessor.
A major plus is the upgraded 45W fast charging technology. Users only need about 1 hour and 12 minutes to fully charge the battery from 0% to 100%, a very competitive figure in the current mid-range phone segment.
In summary: A worthwhile option in the 10 million VND price range.
With a discounted price starting from just over 8 million VND, the Samsung Galaxy A37 5G is a comprehensive choice. It not only boasts a top-of-the-line screen and performance but also scores points for its IP68 durability and long-term software support. This is definitely a smartphone worth considering for Vietnamese users in 2026.
