Editorial report

Oppo A36 technical sheet

The Oppo A36 suits anyone looking for a straightforward phone with a large display and dual SIM; its camera is the main trade-off. The 6.56-inch IPS LCD has a resolution of 720 × 1612 px, a density of 269 ppi and a 90 Hz refresh rate. That refresh rate is typical among phones launched around the same time, while pixel density is lower than on most of them. The curved glass includes Gorilla Glass 3.

Its 13 MP rear camera has lower resolution than most phones of its time; its 1/3.06-inch sensor and f/2.2 aperture are among the weakest specifications. Optical image stabilization is absent. The 8 MP front camera records video at 1080p at 30 fps.

The Snapdragon 680, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage describe this configuration, and storage is expandable. A 5,000 mAh battery is a typical capacity for phones launched around the same time. The phone runs Android 11 but has no Google Services. Connections include USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 5, a 3.5 mm audio jack and dual Nano-SIM. It also supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and Galileo.

At 185 g, it weighs less than most phones launched around the same time. Overall, the Oppo A36 is typical among phones of its time and earns a NeoScore of 4.7. It is a straightforward option for anyone prioritizing a large display, dual SIM and expandable storage over a competitive camera.
