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.

This product for the money
on August 2, 2025
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?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device is very well for the price. I get everything like Google Gemini, Galaxy AI, and much more. This phone is so easy to maneuver, but also high-tech. I would HIGHLY reccomend this device for those who want quality for a very reasonable price.
