Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy A37

Buy the Galaxy S26 Ultra if you want a true flagship: a bigger, brighter 120Hz AMOLED screen, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, an S Pen, 8K video and a 50MP main camera with real zoom. The Galaxy A37 is the sensible pick for everyday use: lighter, dual SIM with eSIM, a sharp 6.7-inch OLED and a 50MP triple camera, and reviewers call it smooth and easy to live with. The Ultra is the more capable phone and reviewers back its camera and battery; the A37 is the simpler, lighter one, and its critics say performance and value hold it back.

• Choose the Galaxy S26 Ultra if you game, shoot video or want the S Pen and the best screen Samsung makes.
• Choose the Galaxy A37 if you want a light, easy everyday Samsung with dual SIM and a sharp OLED screen.
