Apple iPhone 14 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A37
Our Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy A37 has a slightly higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Apple iPhone 14 Pro's 48MP, and the A37 packs the bigger battery, 5000mAh against 3200mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The A37 has the bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.1", while the iPhone 14 Pro 5G has the sharper one at 461 PPI, and the iPhone 14 Pro 5G offers up to 1TB of storage versus 256GB on the A37. The iPhone 14 Pro 5G is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the A37 is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
Over a full contract, the A37 works out around £372 all-in, about £270 less than the iPhone 14 Pro 5G.
