Google Pixel 11 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A37

Our Verdict: Google Pixel 11 Pro combines a sharper 497 PPI LTPO OLED screen with storage options from 256GB to 1TB, while Samsung Galaxy A37 has a larger 6.7-inch panel and weighs 196g rather than 207g. Both have a 50MP rear camera, 5G connectivity and an IP68 rating, so those features do little to separate them. The Pixel is the stronger match for display sharpness and storage headroom; the A37 better suits someone who wants a bigger screen in a lighter body.

The A37 is the cheaper one to own: around £404 over a typical contract, £525 less than the Pixel 11 Pro.
