While flagship phones tend to get most of the buzz, there are plenty of affordable smartphones that offer many of the features of a top-of-the-line device. Samsung’s latest Galaxy A37 offers dependable everyday performance in an affordable package, and it’s currently available for free with an affordable phone plan from Metro.
The Galaxy A37 features a three-lens rear camera, including an 8 MP ultra-wide, a 50 MP wide-angle, and a 5 MP macro camera. The A37 is also designed for smooth performance. According to Samsung, the phone has CPU and GPU improvements over the previous generation of 12% and 19%, respectively. Battery life is also competitive with flagship phones; the 5,000 mAh battery means you won’t have to reach for the charger, and when you do, the phone can charge from up to 60% in 30 minutes. The offer features the A37 with 128 GB of storage. The phone borrows the sleek aesthetic of the flagship S26 model, and it’s available in lavender or charcoal.
