Bad design
on June 21, 2025
Posted by: WickedCool
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To begin all, I can say, is I do dislike the location, to power down the device next main concern of taking a screenshot, which is no good. It doesn't have its original location or It's original set up of swiping, the front screen like it used to, which was quicker.
Very bad design on the memory on the phone, very bad design, no SD card slot and foremost.
If there was a way to move everything over in one shot without dragging, it would be nice plus the option to add even if it's cloud storage. So everything can be sent over it. The options for that it would be nice.
The only Decency the phone itself has it does function quick for normal things of what you're doing and that's about it.
I'll leave it like that.

A36 the good and the bad
on June 25, 2025
Posted by: Elroy1979
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has all the bells and whistles as the upgraded galaxy AI which is helpful but has no spot for sd cards and is kinda weak construction and the plastic or glass on the back of the case easily breaks just with something else in ur pocket . It runs smooth as I do used it for everything from gaming and work and then entertainment although missjng the 3. 5 jack kinda sucks with an older home theater system but can always get a dongle....the front glass seems to hold up good and speed is nice just need a Lil more memorely but all in all it has good features for about all u can want to do and runs smooth even with the memory getting low....all around good phone for the price..

BUILT CHEAP
on July 8, 2025
Posted by: WASLOYAL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is the best thing about this phone. Mine began to fall apart within 45 days. Literally. I paid good money for this phone thinking it would be of typical Samsung quality. I was mistaken. I wish I could get a refund. You have started to sway me towards the device of a certain fruit Samsung. I'm disappointed.

Hi Time,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with your Galaxy A36 5G. If your device is stuck in landscape mode, several factors could be contributing to this issue. If it happens occasionally, check if any apps running in the background are defaulting to that mode.
Depending on your preference, you can adjust the screen orientation. There are three icons available for changing the screen orientation: Auto Rotate, Portrait, and Landscape.
To start, swipe down from the top right of the screen to open the Quick Settings panel. You should swipe left or right if the icons are not visible on the first screen.
- **Auto Rotate**: This option allows your device’s screen orientation to adjust automatically based on how you hold it. For example, if you turn your device sideways, the screen will switch to landscape mode. The Auto Rotate icon looks like a small phone surrounded by two arrows and will glow blue or white when enabled.
- **Portrait or Landscape Mode**: Portrait mode locks the screen in the upright position, while Landscape mode locks the screen sideways. Both icons resemble a lock and appear gray when enabled. When enabled, your device’s screen will not rotate based on how you are holding it; however, apps designed for a specific mode will still rotate the screen as needed.
For more detailed information on how to select the option that works best for you and how to turn these settings on or off, please check the online resource linked below.
Thank you for being a part of the Samsung community!

Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this phone because my last 1 was stolen, since then I've started learning the stock and crypto market,and so many sites to chose from,cashapp,paypal, etoro,coinmarketcap.com, BTCC,crypto.com, crypto.com/exchange, and the only problems I've had is with the verification, I dont know why they dont just use your finger print for everything, no more password, passkey, 2 step verification, if you got my print,you cut my finger off or it's me,right? Galaxy AI do you hear me?

Not a reliable device.
on November 13, 2025
Posted by: Annoyed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phone loses internet over wifi whenever i stop using. Have to turn wifi off and on every time. No other device in my household has this issue, except the other samsung one (galaxy tab). Also touchscreen can become unresponsive if you take too many screenshots or photos and you have to restart device. Memory managment is also poor, apps in the background are killed often. There is some galaxy ai too.

Hey Annoyed,
Thank you for sharing your honest experience with the Galaxy A36 5G. Designed to support daily needs with a simple interface, reliable connectivity, and smart features, your feedback on how it performs under heavier use is valuable. You mentioned concerns like Wi-Fi reconnecting after being idle, the touchscreen lagging during heavy multitasking, and background apps closing more often than you’d like. This may suggest it’s time for a software update. To check for updates: swipe down with two fingers from the top right corner of the screen, then tap the Settings icon. Navigate to and select Software update or System updates—this may differ between models. Tap Download and install, Check for system updates, or Check for software updates, depending on your carrier. If an update is available, it should start downloading automatically, but on some devices you might need to tap Download now. Once downloaded, follow the on-screen steps to install. You can learn more about updating your device through the link below. Our knowledgeable Samsung Support Team is ready to assist—feel free to contact us. We appreciate your taking the time to share your experience. Thank you for being part of the Samsung community.
