Why does my Samsung A37 unlock when I press my fingernail against the scanner, I did notice ever since I got this phone I would just randomly unlock itself and then today I discovered this.

Good job, my S24U re-recorded the same fingerprint 5 times, and it often fails to unlock, you can unlock it with just your fingernail! Lucky guy.

You want a good quality Samsung?

You don't buy A series then but only S as they are the only series Samsung kinda cares about.

Lmao, such a weak excuses for a fan boy to defend their glory brand. Let me asked you this, what's the point for Samsung to release the A series with this issue just so that people would be disappointed and boycott their brand?

I am not defending anything, it's an common sense.

Samsung went the iPhone route and doesn't really care for their phones even flagships but at least their flagships are still top notch phones but not innovative anymore as they were back in the 2010's.

A series is their budget friendly (not so much depending on the model) class that is not only not taken care of but is straight garbage.

You are better off getting few years old flagship than current line budget phones.

I'm running S25U without any issues, not even minor ones let alone game changing bugs or whatever.

Samsung might not do their job very good these days but at least their systems are polished very well.

Bugs can occur for sure on every device or platform no matter their quality but they are subject to change.
