Great value great phone
on October 26, 2025
Posted by: Lareli
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not in love with the idea of dropping 1k+ every 18 months on the newest brightest shinyest thing (cough cough 🍎). Bought this after weighing out cost and benefits after needing to replace an older A series phone cause I accidently yeeted said older phone down some stairs (twice). I don't mind the A series not having all the fancy S series pluses and tbh don't miss or notice the difference in the middle level versions. It does take a hot minute to start up but nothing bad. Battery life is about what you'd expect for this level of smart phone, I can get away charging every other day but thats weekends when I use it less. I don't use the Galaxy AI features personally but they seem like they could be very helpful for the right audience.

Howdy Jchauhan,
Your review really captures what makes the Galaxy A36 5G such a great choice. I love how you described getting flagship features in a phone that's built for everyday life; it's exactly what this line is all about. The A36 5G feels reliable without overcomplicating things, and it’s awesome to hear it fits your daily needs so well. When a device checks all the boxes you’re after, that’s when the Galaxy A36 5G really stands out. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad you chose Samsung.

Not bad, not perfect either
on March 28, 2025
Posted by: Mikeyt1818
Expertise:Expert
Solid phone. Just as decent as last year's model. I dislike the in-screen fingerprint reader as it is as slow and finicky as the A35. I must sometimes press it 2-3 times. I wanted the A26 with the nice side fingerprint scanner, but I do not like phones in black. I will stick with the A36 for now. At least the color is nice (Awesome Lime) and the screen is awesome. Good camera too. Wish it had Mediatek 7300 or higher. Snapdragon 6 gen 3 is so-so.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey Mikeyt1818,
It's great to hear that your Galaxy A36 5G is working well for you and that you're enjoying the color and smooth upgrade! Sometimes, the fingerprint sensor can be tricky to use. Here are a few troubleshooting steps that should resolve quickly. Let's also consider the screen protector you are using on your device. Ensuring your screen is clean and free of debris can help tremendously.
To improve the performance of your fingerprint sensor, follow these tips:
1. Make sure your finger covers the entire sensor, and hold the device the same way you did when you set up the fingerprints.
2. Ensure the scanner and your fingertip are clean and dry before scanning.
3. Restart the phone or tablet and use the fingerprint scanner again.
4. Keep the device and apps updated.
5. Remove and re-add your fingerprints.
If you still have trouble unlocking your device because the fingerprint sensor isn't recognizing your prints, try entering your regular PIN, password, or pattern. You can also check out the article “Use the fingerprint sensor on your Galaxy phone or tablet” to find more troubleshooting steps. If necessary, please reach out to our Samsung Support Team for further assistance. Thank you for your review; your support means a lot to us at Samsung!
