Samsung Galaxy A37 outperforms the Galaxy A27 in display, battery, and camera capabilities

The Samsung Galaxy A37 offers significant performance and hardware advantages over the newly launched Galaxy A27, despite their similar design and software experience. The A37 features a substantially brighter display, peaking at 1904 nits compared to the A27’s 1090 nits. It also provides superior durability with an IP68 ingress protection rating, whereas the A27 is limited to IP64. Audio performance is enhanced on the A37 through a louder, cleaner stereo speaker setup. Battery management is more efficient on the A37, which also supports faster 45W charging compared to the 25W limit on the A27. Camera performance favors the A37, which delivers sharper, more detailed images and includes video stabilization in 4K resolution, a feature absent on the A27. While the A27 includes a microSD card slot for expandable storage and a side-mounted fingerprint reader, the A37 utilizes an under-display optical sensor. Both devices share the same One UI 8.5 software and receive six major OS updates, but the A37’s hardware refinements make it the more capable device for most users.

The Galaxy A37 display is significantly brighter, reaching 1904 nits in peak auto mode compared to 1090 nits for the A27. The A37 features an IP68 rating for full water submersion, while the A27 is only rated IP64 for splash resistance.

The A37 includes stereo speakers that provide a louder and cleaner audio output than the single speaker on the A27. The A37 supports 45W fast charging, allowing it to charge faster than the 25W-limited A27.

The A37 main camera provides better detail and includes 4K video stabilization, which is not available on the A27. The A27 is the only model of the two that supports expandable storage via a microSD card slot.
