Here’s what you need to know about the latest affordable Samsung and our first thoughts.
Galaxy A36 5G: colorful and shiny
The Galaxy A36 follows the Galaxy A35 excellent last year. The overall design has not changed much, but there is much to look at your eyes. It measures 6.41 with 3.08 with 0.29 inches (HWD) and weighs 6.88 ounces. This phone is longer, wider, thinner and lighter than A35 (6.37 by 3.07 with 0.32 inches, 7.37 ounces). From the front, the devices look almost identical to the front front from the screen.

A36 contains a 6.7 -inch screen with a resolution of 2,340 with 1,080 pixels, a 120hz refresh rate and a roof shine of 1,200 nits. This is the same resolution and update of refresh as a 6.6-inch screen of A35, but brighter than the exit phone’s 1,000-knit shine. Samsung also made the A36 stable, with an IP67 estimate for protection against dust and water, along with Gorilla Glass Victus+ at the front and back (just like A35).

This device has a feeling of premium and is well -assembled with obvious attention to fit and finish. The slim beige around the screen and the overall design firmly evoke the aesthetics of the Galaxy.
Inside, A36 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip; The A35 uses Samsung’s own Exynos 1380 Exynos 1380 processor. Both have a 5,000 MAH battery, but the A36 is capable of loading up to 45W, which is a large jump from a maximum of 25W of A35. A36 comes in a 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage configuration, which is the same as A35. Samsung says the A36 has a cooling system of the same size as $ 999.99 Galaxy S24+, which should allow this device to perform at a high level without getting too hot.

In SH.BA, the device is available in a gorgeous black, gorgeous and wonderful lime lavender, which is a Best Exclusive Buy. A white model is also available, but not in the US market.

As for cameras, the A36 has a camera before 12MP F/2.2, which is a resolution lower than the 13MP selfie camera and A35. A36 is capable of shooting video in HDR from front for the first time. Three cameras are in the back inside a pill -shaped camera island, which is a small change from the island less A35. There is a major 50MP F/1.8 shooter with optical image stabilization, an 8MP F/2.2 ultra -wide camera and a 5MP F/2.4 photographic camera.

A36 will send with Android 15 along with the Samsung’s One Ui 7 at the top of it. This software layer includes some features of the Galaxy He, though not the full suit available to the Galaxy S25 line. It takes an extended version of the circle to look for that it can require images, text and music. Samsung Erraser’s smart object is also on board. It can suggest things to hide from the images and intelligently remove things like connected shadows.
Samsung is challenging other phone manufacturers because the A36 will receive six OS updates and six years of security patches. A35 offered four OS updates and five years of security updates (which is also a long time in the Android world). A36 looks like a phone for a long term.

The Galaxy A26 follows the A25 and receives a lot of delicate improvements. The device feels well built with good attention for the details. U -shaped U -shaped grades and thick bezel below the screen are the only gifts this is a budget device.
The screen is a 6.7 -inch panel with a resolution of 2,340 with 1,080 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate reaching 1,200 nits (just like A36). A25 In the outgoing has a 6.5 -inch display in the same resolution and refreshing refresh.

You will find the camera group from A25 to A26. This means a 50MP leader with OIS, an ultra -wide 8MP camera and a macro 2MP camera on the back, with a prior to 13MP camera. The rear cameras are caught in a vertical pill like A36.
