Great Value for Price
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: SirBlocky7747
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this device works exactly for it's price. It's a you-get-what-you-pay-for type of device. The camera is amazing, the ram is amazing, and it just blows other phones being sold at the same price out of the water. This phone has solidified me staying with samsung and only samsung.
Now, the Galaxy AI on this device isn't the best, but there are some major parts of it here. It also makes sense, as the ram isn't enough.
Altogether, I have no regrets for purchasing this device and my only complaint is how hot it sometimes gets. 5/5 stars for sure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy A36 5G i consider one of the current best budget phones, offering premium features like AI tools and robust, long-term support for a reasonable price. Outstanding longevity with support for six OS upgrades and six years of security updates.The indisplay sensor is quite slow. Camera while good, its colors can occasionally be inaccurate.

The A36 has great new software features.
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: WolfHaus
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed with the speed of processing when using my phone to edit pictures. However I do miss the ease and convenience of a stylus like my previous phone, GalaxyNote 9. The Galaxy AI is actually a helpful transition into eliminating having to do things manually. Still learning to use the Galaxy AI efficiently.
The external device continues controls are a little smoother and more user friendly. Syncing devices and switching from one to another is an improvement.
Design wise, im not a big fan of the protruding "oval" camera lenses on the back but I suppose putting on a protective phone case reduces the protrusion. Overall, basic phone functions and aesthetics as well as storage and speed in addition to new AI tools makes this phone a worthy learning adventure when changing phones can be a headache.

A Mid Grade Phone with Premium Features
on March 20, 2026
Posted by: ASeries
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device is absolutely solid for the mid-grade price point! From Galaxy AI Features, solid performance, a beautiful display and ultimate seamless experience with other devices from Samsung, you cannot go wrong with the A36. With the price point, you get a solid CPU chipset that allows you to switch from business, casual and learning uses. The battery lasts very long, the screen is a great size that allows movie and entertainment consumption to be something one could dream of 5-10 years ago.

Verified Purchase:Yes
It works, but camera seems bottom of the barrel. It has fewer pixels and poorer picture quality than the A32 I replaced. Wish I'd bought something else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Samsung is the best way to go.
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: SamsungRox35
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Any samsung producr i have purchased has been top notch in its performance for streaming any kind of media. The gaming and Galaxy AI features also exceed my expectations for a phone or any device. If anyone where to ask i would most definitely refer them to a samsung device specifically the A36. It is a cheaper alternative to the s model but does the same job and does it well.
