Samsung Galaxy A37 vs Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G
Our Verdict: If you've got the Galaxy A37, the Galaxy A52s 5G is five years of updates on from it. The A52s 5G has a noticeably higher-resolution main camera, 64MP against the A37's 50MP, plus a 32MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the A37 has the bigger battery of the two, 5000mAh against 4500mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use.
