Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy A36
Source: 91mobiles

The Galaxy A36 starts at Rs 32,999 for the 8GB+128GB variant, with the top-end 12GB+256GB model priced at Rs 38,999. For what it offers, the A36 holds good value – especially if you prioritise a polished software experience (with AI features) and a premium-looking design. Its cameras are reliable, though low-light performance could have been better. And, as expected from a Samsung device, the multimedia experience remains one of its biggest strengths. Its closest competitors are the Vivo V50 (review) and Redmi Note 14 Pro+ (review). The Vivo V50 has an advantage with higher performance and slightly better cameras, though its software experience isn’t as refined. The Redmi Note 14 Pro+ also offers longer battery life, faster charging, and a more durable build, while its camera performance is on par with the A36.

This means that you’re also getting some of the AI functionality that we’ve been seeing on the new S series as well, like: Circle to Search with Audio, AI Select, and all the photography options we’ve come to know and love. We also got a chance to see their Best Face feature in action as well to make group shots a little easier at family gatherings.

We have very little doubt that the Galaxy A36 and A56 will enjoy plenty of mass popularity. As we said, Samsung isn't changing too much and rocking the boat too much, which is understandable. Well, except for the removal of the microSD expansion slots, which is quite a bummer. Samsung Glaxy A36 and Galaxy A56 hands-on review Other than that, we personally enjoy the new design. The new chipsets and better cooling offer a nice performance boost on both phones compared to last year's models, and the thermal management and stability are very impressive. The addition of 45W charging is a nice little bonus. The overall camera quality seems to come with a slight upgrade, though it's a bit early to judge.

These phones aren’t the sexiest devices on God’s green Earth, and there’s nothing really groundbreaking here in terms of new features and design. They are a little improved on the design front, which is nice, but ultimately, they’re not all that much different from last year’s handsets from a hardware point of view. And that’s not a huge problem, of course. We liked these phones last year and we’re likely to like them this year as well. Samsung fans will love them. But we preferred the Nothing Phone (2a) last year and Google’s Pixel 8a delivers longer support and (currently) much lower prices with handsets available from around £330. With new Nothing mid-rangers and the Google Pixel 9A on the horizon, I’d respectfully suggest you hold onto your wallet.
