Jme1978 · 20 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been having to use my Samsung for school as my laptop was broken. I am very satisfied with the quality of the picture on this phone! Also, the camera takes amazing pictures! I never used to like the A series phones. I always thought that they were generic for the S series. Boy was I wrong! Thank you Samsung for making a quality phone affordable! Also the Galaxy Ai features are amazing and I never thought that I'd say that at all. However, I love it!

Great bargin buy!

SamsFan4Life · 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my a36 5g as a budget friendly option as a temporary replacement and fell in love. This phone has amazing screen resolution and streaming is never a problem even with large files. Audio is crisp and clear and the speakers pack a punch compared to other budget devices in the same class. It came packed with galaxy features such as Bixby assistant, edge panels, one handed operation and loads of others. It integrated seamlessly with my watch 4 classic as well as my galaxy buds fe. The only major drawback is the lack of expandable storage due to no dedicated SD slot. Other than that it is an amazingly top tier entry level phone tailored extremely well to low end gaming and streaming.

Solid basic phone

Wordninja · 2 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid, basic phone. Works for what I need. 4 stars, because there isn't alot of span between high & low for brightness or sound. Never can seem to get it bright enough during daytime hours or loud enough for like, some youtube channels or music sometimes. It does have galaxy AI. And the battery life and chargeability seems to last a pretty good while. Had the phone for over 2 years and it still holds a charge for the day and is able to be lightening charged at night without recharge during daytime use. Solid, decent phone, not alot of 'bells & whistles', but serves its purpose well.

Clutch692025 · 2 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my galaxy a36 5g for everything from streaming to playing games. Bixby and gemini are great as well. I can charge my phone to 100% and be on it all day without having to charge it throughout the day which says alot from a phone that is not even the flagship phone. The phone also works great with a samsung watch which I have a samsung 4 watch. I love this budget friendly phone I would not trade it for anything in the world.
