Samsung Galaxy A37 5G vs Motorola Moto G Stylus 2025

How they differ in real use

Built from our budget smartphones scoring, each product's published specifications, and verified owner feedback — not hands-on testing.

Both the Samsung Galaxy A37 5G and the Motorola Moto G Stylus 2025 made our Top 5 Budget Smartphones, at #2 and #4 (best value). Samsung's 2026 mid-ranger, sold by Amazon.com itself: a 6.7" 120Hz Super AMOLED rated for 1,900 nits peak, Gorilla Glass Victus+ front and back, IP68, 45W wired charging and 6 years of OS and security updates. It lasted 29 hours 10 minutes in Engadget's video rundown, slightly longer than the Pixel 10a's 28 hours, but Engadget still preferred the Pixel's image quality and AI features, and Google promises 7 years of updates to Samsung's 6, which keeps the A37 in second. It ranks above the Galaxy A36 because its Exynos 1480 posts roughly 15% higher published Geekbench 6 scores (about 1,150 single-core and 3,450 multi-core versus 1,000 and 2,900), it upgrades to IP68, and it ran about two hours longer in Tech Advisor's PCMark battery test. Built-in stylus rare at any price, 256GB storage (double everything else here), IP68 + MIL-STD-810H durability, and 68W fast charging at $349.99 on Amazon. The 2026 model exists but costs $499 and hasn't reached Amazon; this one remains the value play.
