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.

The worst phone I ever had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Expertise:Intermediate
I have been a Samsung user as long as I can remember. But this phone, Samsung A36 is the worst phone I have ever had. The performance is nothing like I am use to. Thats on me for buying a cheap phone from a company I trust. You get what you pay for. I do not recommend this phone to anyone. So please, if you are looking to get the Samsung A36 5G, just don't do it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
