Infinite Tech Kenya editorial comparison · Updated 31 October 2026. This comparison is based on Samsung manufacturer specifications and the store’s dated product listing snapshots; no laboratory benchmarks or hands-on testing are claimed.

The Galaxy A36 and A37 5G sit close together in Samsung’s midrange lineup. Both focus on a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED experience and optical image stabilisation, but the 2026 A37 also raises the documented water-and-dust protection to IP68.

Display and camera decisions

A36 and A37 both advertise 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED displays at up to 120Hz and a 50MP OIS primary camera. That similarity matters: many buyers should compare total price, RAM/storage and warranty instead of choosing by launch year.

A37 protection and software

Samsung announced A37 5G in March 2026 with IP68 and Android 16 / One UI 8.5. The A36 family launched earlier with IP67. IP68 is not an invitation to deliberately submerge the device; liquids and damage exclusions remain a concern.

Don’t compare unlike memory configurations

Our A36 offer is 8GB/128GB at KSh 35,995 and A37 example is 6GB/128GB at KSh 38,500. The new model in that comparison has less physical RAM, which may matter for multitasking. Compare the separate A37 8GB/256GB variant before drawing performance conclusions.

Which one should you buy in Kenya?

The A36 can be sensible when the lower cost or 8GB RAM is more valuable to you. A37 attracts people prioritising the later release and stronger published IP protection. Ask about actual 5G band support, import warranty, stock and colour for each unit.

A36-versus-A37 practical selection

  1. Check the A36 8GB/128GB price against the A37 6GB/128GB comparison, noting unequal RAM.
  2. Compare both official 120Hz Super AMOLED displays and 50MP OIS main cameras.
  3. Consider whether A37’s IP68 rating matters compared with A36 IP67.
  4. Check software support, full regional model codes and network bands.
  5. Confirm colour, charger, written warranty and live checkout price before purchase.

Practical next action: Make the selection only after the model code, price and written warranty for the exact unit are confirmed. Our comparison tables use manufacturer specification documents and dated retail references rather than invented performance tests.
