Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A37 smartphone has shown a notable performance improvement over its predecessor in recent benchmark tests, signaling a potential upgrade for the company’s mid-range lineup.
The unreleased device, identified by the model number SM-A376B, achieved a single-core score of 1,158 points and a multi-core score of 3,401 points on the popular Geekbench platform.
These results indicate a significant performance leap compared to the Galaxy A36, which scored 1,007 points in single-core and 2,917 points in multi-core tests.
The enhanced performance is attributed to the integration of Samsung’s Exynos 1480 chipset, launched in 2024.
The Exynos 1480 is manufactured using a 4-nanometer process and features an octa-core CPU. This configuration includes four ARM Cortex-A78 cores capable of speeds up to 2.75 GHz for demanding tasks.
Additionally, it incorporates four ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 2.00 GHz, designed for energy-efficient processing.
In contrast, the Galaxy A36 relied on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, also a 4nm component. Its CPU featured four Cortex-A78 cores at 2.4 GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores at 1.8 GHz.
The Galaxy A37 was tested with Android 16 and 6 GB of RAM. Market versions are expected to offer additional RAM configurations.
Samsung introduced the Galaxy A36 in March 2025. Firmware for the Galaxy A37 has already been observed on Samsung’s servers, indicating its ongoing development.
Further specifications for the Galaxy A37 are anticipated to be revealed by international media in the near future.
