Performance
Chugs along with either an Exynos 1380 or a Dimensity 6080. Handles daily stuff and some gaming, but let’s not kid ourselves: you won’t be running Genshin Impact on ultra settings. It’s smoother than the F16 5G, though, so you’re not getting a potato.
2. Camera
You get a 50MP main shooter with OIS—good daylight snaps, decent at night but not blowing minds. The ultrawide and macro? Pretty basic. 13MP selfie cam does the job for Instagram and the occasional thirst trap.
3. Design
Front’s glass, back and frame are plastic—comes in Black, Blue, and White. The vibe is modern mid-range: looks nice from a distance, doesn’t feel super expensive in the hand. AMOLED display definitely levels it up visually.
4. Durability
IP67 and Gorilla Glass 5—so it’s not as fragile as it looks. You can be a little clumsy and not panic.
5. Battery
5000mAh is solid. You’ll squeeze out a day, maybe more if you’re not glued to TikTok. Wired charging is quick—half full in half an hour—but, again, no wireless. Some will care, others won't.
The Galaxy A36 5G is a solid all-rounder for 2025. Flashy screen, reliable performance, and you can get it wet without freaking out. Plastic and no wireless charging are kinda lame, but honestly, unless you’re a snob about materials or desperately need to charge wirelessly, it’s not a deal-breaker. Honestly, I’d pick it over the Realme 14 Pro Lite just for that Samsung software and display. Not perfect, but dang, it’s a lot of phone for the price.
