Apple iPhone 15 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A37

Our Verdict: Start with a lower current starting price, about £347 versus £468: that points toward the Samsung Galaxy A37, but the Apple iPhone 15 Pro still has a real case through the smaller, easier-to-handle body. Samsung Galaxy A37 is currently cheaper to buy outright by roughly £121; the screen sizes are 6.1 inches for Apple iPhone 15 Pro and 6.7 inches for Samsung Galaxy A37. Put the Samsung Galaxy A37 first for keeping the upfront or SIM-free spend lower, and put the Apple iPhone 15 Pro first if its extra hardware advantages line up with how you use your phone.

The A37 is the cheaper one to own: around £372 over a typical contract, £257 less than the iPhone 15 Pro 5G.
