NeoTeo's verdict

Which of the two is the better buy

The Samsung Galaxy A57 is the most complete choice for performance, build and connectivity: it reaches 1,363,464 in AnTuTu, offers 512 GB and weighs 179 g. The Galaxy A37 is better suited to buyers who prioritize the main camera, while the Galaxy A17 4G is worth choosing only if it costs less.

The A57 combines a 6.7″, 1,900-nit AMOLED display with a 6.9 mm aluminum-alloy body, IP68 protection and class A drop resistance; the A37 keeps 6.7″, 1,900 nits and IP68, but weighs 196 g and uses plastic alongside glass. The A17 4G drops to 800 nits, 90 Hz and IP54, but its 256 GB can be expanded, unlike the A37’s 256 GB and the A57’s 512 GB.

For photography, the A37 leads with its main camera: 1.12 µm pixels versus 1 µm on the A57; the A57 counters with a 13 MP ultrawide versus 8 MP and 4K video at 60 fps. The A17 4G trails on the rear camera, although its front camera has 13 MP versus 12 MP. All three have 5,000 mAh batteries; the A37 and A57 charge at 45 W and last 53 and 52 hours per cycle, versus 25 W and 51 hours for the A17 4G.
