Editorial report
Samsung Galaxy A36 8 GB / 256 GB / International / SM-A366E technical sheet
Samsung Galaxy A36 suits anyone looking for a balanced everyday phone with a strong display and broad connectivity. Its main trade-off is a 5,000 mAh battery, which has less capacity than most phones of its time.
The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display reaches 1,900 nits and 120 Hz, while the 7.4 mm body is among the thinnest of its time. IP67 protection resists water and dust. Android 15 comes with six years of OS update support.
Connectivity is among the best of its time, combining 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, eSIM and several Dual SIM configurations. The 50 MP main camera includes optical image stabilization, while the lack of optical zoom is typical for phones of its time. Performance is typical, with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage; this version does not support expandable storage.
Galaxy A36 sits typically among phones launched around the same time and earns a NeoScore of 6.8. Its launch price is below most of them, but it is fairly priced for what it is.
