I recently upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy A36 5G and I couldn’t be happier with it. The phone is fast, smooth, and really easy to use. The screen is bright and clear, and everything looks sharp. The battery life has been excellent — it comfortably lasts me all day without needing to recharge. The camera is also great for everyday photos, with good colour and clarity, and the 5G connection has been super quick. The phone feels light but sturdy, and the overall design is really nice. I’m very happy with my A36 5G and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, modern phone at a great price.

I do love this phone, but there are some issues. •When switching to 50MP in the camera, the zoom and flash are blocked. •When downloading apps, they don't go to the home page but instead to a menu you have to swipe up to access. •When mobile data is on and I'm connected to a WiFi source, it uses data. It should only use WiFi in this scenario. However, there is a lot I love about this phone. •Firstly, the performance. It powers on quickly and apps open very fast. •The display is responsive and high quality. •The battery lasts quite a long time, in my case usually the whole day. •The pictures are high quality, especially when using the 50MP setting.

Only had it a week, had I-phone before and right now I dislike this phone, the biometrics on finger prints doesn't work for me, it worked once the first day then never recognized me and I've reset a couple of times and tested at the reset. As a result I've removed fingerprint from phone, face recognition works most of the time. I'm not use to the functions on this phone as they are different that my I-phone and I keep opening up credit card each and every time which I hate. I don't hate it but I don't like it either, I will have to check in again at later date. I hate the adds that come up on the phone asking you to donate all the time, anyway of removing that?

Generic review because...it's an "affordable" midrange phone. A few issues however: one is the lack of removable storage. That is something that all phones should have. Second is the apparent lack of a blue light filter and the availability to schedule it to come on at night. Secondly, and this one is utterly inexcusable: the screen powers off after a maximum of ten minutes and there is no way to turn that off. If you are watching an hour long video, you'll have to wake it up every ten minutes. In the settings menu you can select the interval, but there is no way to set the interval to "never" or turn off the screen timeout altogether. Had I known about that beforehand, I would not have bought this phone.

This is my very first Android mobile as until now and for many years I have been a committed iPhone customer. I have heard good things about Samsung from friends and family and looking for a cheaper option when replacing my old and outdated iPhone I investigated what was available. I am very impressed with the A36 5G. It has a great battery life, a good range of aps, great storage and a much better camera than I thought it would have. Now with the new case and screen protector which I have added, it looks very smart indeed. I particularly liked the way I could transfer important content from my Iphone to my Samsung (which I was told would be very difficult - it was not) thanks to the very good Samsung software.

I find it very average to other Samsung devices that I have owned. My main disappointment with it, is not all of the information was transferred from my old Samsung. This is the second time this also happened on my last update. As I am 76 I may not be around for the next update. As for the battery I find it the same more or less as the last. Display is a little bigger which helps. The camera is excellent. As for the Connectivity, I don't personally have enough knowledge to use it to it's full capacity. Though there's still a few poor connection spots. Performance wise, I have to say that it meets my requirements most of the time. Getting a half decent case would be much more helpful. I am just a mobile phone user.

Great phone on the whole. Bought it to replace a Samsung A70 which had unfortunately gone faulty. The A36 has many great features, ip rated, better camera with better editing features, much better storage and a higher amount of ram. The battery seems to last me at least two days between charging. Unfortunately it seems slower than my A70 and reception is not as good as the A70. Must be the ariel as both my wife and I have Samsung phones and both on O2 and at a recent festival she had good signal and I had none. Would of been 5 stars but for the signal issue.

Genuinely, this is my first smartphone ever (thanks goes to Mimi Webb) & to be honest, it's baffling to start with but once I got use to apps instead of computer shortcuts, I was fine. There's still so much I've got to learn, but Gemini has helped & I'll get there. I can't say much about the battery, because I also bought a fast charger so it's charging every second it's not in use. The camera is really sharp & the display is the same. I've watched video's online & there were no issues at all. Overall & as a new phone, I have no complaints so far.

This is an upgrade on my A34.. Takes a little time to start everything off but happy to keep going with it. The camera is great - clear pics every time. Connectivity to broadband is not as good as A34 to be honest. I am struggling a little with it staying connected. However, I am trying it out and that is good. The battery certainly lasts a long time and does no need charging very often. The display is clear and precise. Not sure about performance as yet as only set it up last week despite having it for quite some time.

Congratulations on your upgrade to the awesome A36, Em! We're delighted to hear that you're pleased with the Camera, which delivers perfect shots every time, along with the long lasting battery life and the crystal clear display quality. In regard to the Wi-Fi connectivity, we recommend turning off your router for 30 seconds, then turning it back on. Along with this, perform a soft reset of your phone by pressing and holding the Side key and the Volume down key for about 10 seconds or so, or until your phone reboots. These steps will clear any glitches. The following link contains more helpful steps you can take: https://www.samsung.com/ie/support/mobile-devices/i-cant-connect-to-wifi/ If the issue continues, please reach out to our friendly Support Teams who can assist further.

I bought this phone in December 2025. It is has stopped working sometimes. I have barely anything on it. The internet sometimes looks pages up on its own. I am not sure why, and it also closes apps. As well as does not let me know about some phone calls and notifications. Voicemail fills up instantly after I finished clearing it out. Sometimes it clicks on apps or links on its own. Then it logs out of apps sometimes. My phone also stops responding to my voice. Gemini also does not work when there is many voices and or outside.

Using now for a couple of weeks. The transfer of data from old to the A36 was seamless, quick and simple and I'm not young so was worried. With anything new it takes time but the additional settings have been easy to navigate. I can only look forward for a couple of good years with no issues.

Far too complicated. Includes apps and websites which you can't uninstall or exclude and don't want or don't trust. Not compatible with a lot of useful apps. Try some other brand to get a simple operating system over which you have some control and can install useful and trusted apps.

The phone it self feels great to hold, the camera isnt all theh best and the zoom gets worse, the gaming performance on iti is good, battery life is good, storage is good, a lot of time closing apps such as Facebook on the device leaves it playing in the background, even after closing t he apps completely, forcing a device restart to get back to original performance, overall if your a device person who expects a lot, this phone isnt for you, however it gets me through each day for what I need it for.

Love the performance there are so many ways in which you can find your apps. I'd like a ultimate case to protect my screen from prying eyes but I suppose as the phone was just launched in March 2025 that model has been produced yet? WiFi connection bus brilliant, the battery last much longer than my previous phone. The camera take good photos and videos and the screen display is pretty good for a person who doesn't see very well. Overall pretty good - I'm still learning what the phone can do.

I am very pleased with my new purchase. It's performance has much improved so it actually feels like a newer and upgraded fone. The camera is much easier to use and I love the way the display looks on the homescreen. The date display area is much easier to view. The new super-fast charger works well and charges the battery much faster, for real!!! My connectivity seems fine and I have had no issues with drop-calls or going out of range, thus far.

The phone is great, and does all I need. Two things I dislike though. The constant attempt by Bixby to try and make me use it. I DO NOT want it. There should be an option to turn it off. Secondly, when I want to copy and paste something it keeps offering to save it to Samsung Wallet with no option to do otherwise. I don't EVER use wallets on phones as I don't believe they are secure. All I want to do is Copy and Paste. There should be an option to decline Samsung wallet.

Great to see that your A36 5G is handling all of your needs brilliantly! You can disable Bixby in Settings > Advanced features > Side button > Press and hold > Select your preferred function for this button. You can also leave the Bixby service in Settings > Advanced features > Bixby > Leave Bixby. We can assure you that all the base features on your phone, including Samsung Wallet, are incredibly secure, thanks to Knox. You can read all about the security that Knox provides here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/mobile-phone-buying-guide/what-is-samsung-knox/ Specifically, you can read about how secure Samsung Wallet is here: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/apps-services/how-secure-is-samsung-wallet/ For now, as long as you don't add anything into Samsung Wallet, it will not retain your data, and you can copy and paste anything you wish without the involvement of this app. We're sure that with further use, your brilliant phone will earn that fifth star! ^SK at Samsung Support

Every picture that you take with the camera adds to your recent file. Once these pictures are moved or copied into a new file, if you go back into recent file and delete the pictures it removes them from BOTH files? WHY? I have just changed from the A70 and this did not happen. Nobody else with a Samsung phone has even heard of this stupidity. Not happy at all, and i'm now stuck with this for 3 years! Come on Samsung, surely a company like you can come up with something?

My old Samsung , A11, was getting weary and I was advised that the battery was unreliable and needed to be changed. So I bit the bullet and upgraded to a 5G format, A36 which is faster than the old one. Mind you, in 2018, I used my old phone to book a one month trip to Europe - flights, car hire, accommodation, theatre in London, Ritz for their famous afternoon tea, Eiffel Tower, Palace de Versailles etc and it all went like clockwork which is why I stuck with Samsung

I bought 3 months ago and it's a lot better than the Google pixel I had before I was hoping to get some little flashing lights when the battery is fully charged and when there is a message, voice mail, or a missed call. I have problem connecting to Rogers xfinity stream tv channels, it's a Rogers problem with the compatibility of their software and new phones. My old Samsung A8 connect just fine.

I bought this mobile in August 2025 and have found it to be a useful appliance. One of the main features for me is the camera. Generally, the photos are excellent. The only two things that bother me about the camera are (i) the macro lens (or app setting) is useless for taking close-ups, and (ii) there are only two choices for photo resolution (12M and 50M). More choice on the lower end (<12M) would be nice to save on space. Overall, the mobile is excellent.

When this phone was signposted to me by the telephony agent when renewing my O2 contract, I mentioned that I'd stopped using Samsung phones, as I had found that, in the past, the biometric screen unlock function to very hit and miss. The agent assured me that great improvements have been made by Samsung in this area in recent years and that biometric screen unlock was now working well. Unfortunately, this feature on Samsung phones does not seem to have improved much at all and I continue to receive the frustrating experience of the phone telling me that the face or fingerprint are not recognised. Other than that, when loading a screen on the phone or the internet, there can be a frustratingly long time until I can interact with the screen content (either clicking buttons or inputting text). Other than that, the phone is fine for a budget model.

The following link contains lots more helpful steps to get your sensors working reliably: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/my-fingerprint-scanner-isnt-working/ In regard to the phone behaving slowly, we'd recommend checking out the following link for resolution: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/why-is-my-phone-slowing-down-and-how-can-i-speed-it-up/ Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us should the issues persist, as our helpful Support Teams are on hand and ready to help.

Pretty much like everything about my new A36. Display is very clear. Battery life is pretty good, gets me through a full 24 hours and recharges quickly. Connectivity in general seems fine - I've had no issues so far. Performance is also great though I still have things to learn to make it more efficient and get the best use from it. Camera is good and again - I still need to find out what it's capable of as I've not used it too much so far

The battery tends to last around two or three days with my usage and it has superb connectivity at all times. The Camera is also an improvement on my last Samsung. Unfortunately, so far, I have been unable to link my emails so I am notified when I receive an email. There does not appear to be a simple way to do this and I cannot find out online. Everything else was simple to transfer and/or set up, which leaves me a little disappointed.

Still getting used to the differences between this and my old S9. Camera is excellent. Battery life a little less than expected, but does depend on usage of phone. Normal charging every 2 days, but if taking a lot of photos will run out in less than a day. Some standard features are annoying and I have to try and find out how to turn them off - e.g. notifications of news items etc. Overall very happy with performance, and display.

All good transferred most every thing problems with Whatsapp lost a couple of messages in transfer, and had problems with bluetooth, as it was still connected to my other phone all sorted now. Much faster than my old phone and don't need a micro sd card, as was not provided with this phone, I choose more phone memory. Also changed the black background but did at first changed it back automatically found this annoying but all ok now.

Fantastic to see how much you are enjoying your A36 5G after resolving the issues you faced with WhatsApp, Bluetooth, and the background. There can be a learning curve when introducing new tech into our lives, so it's great that you are now able to explore all that this model has to offer without issue. The Octa-Core processor enables this device to run at great speed, and the vast memory means that you will never need to choose between your files and downloading a new app ever again. It will be wowing you for years to come! ^SK at Samsung Support

I don't like changing phones I can't be doing with the hassle but to be honest the change has been seamless. The performance along with the connectivity has been really good. The display is what I have come to expect from Samsung. I have not used the camera much but I have been pleased with the results. I have not experienced any problems with the battery life it more than meets my daily needs. All in all I am well pleased.

I bought the phone last Thursday. Within a week, the "Insert simcard" message appeared 2 days in a row. I couldn't make or take phone calls, SMS, or use WhatsApp on the road. I took it back to Samsung store yesterday. It is now being investigated. Currently I am using a Galaxy S series phone which I purchased in 2019. It does not give me any problem until recent Triple Zero Issue notified by Samsung.

I bought is almost a year ago. It's OK. It definitely has clear audio when I'm on the phone...which is mostly what I use it for. I do use the GPS, that's perfect. BUT. I can't see the screen in the sunshine no matter what buttons I press and when I'm trying to Google something the screen keeps going blank and I've got to re-start it. That's very annoying. I'd LOVE to know how to rectify those two things.

Chose Samsung because it's an excellent phone for the price. I had reservations about the fingerprint lock because of bad reviews for a similar Samsung phone. No worries,it's better than my previous phone,works even when finger is moist. The Samsung bloat ware is annoying. I had a Moto phone so lot of apps are duplicated. The camera I found intuitive to use. Works very well with Android Auto.

Overall actually a pretty sad product. in 2025 i would expect any smartphone to have reasonable performance with face recognition, which (after about 6 months using it) has about a 33% success rate. Additionally, it seems to glitch out on application notifications - i.e. display many more new notification then are actually there, and struggles to erase those notifications once viewed.

Very happy with the large display, camera, battery and fast charging. WiFi and call reception mostly work well - when they don't, the issue is presumably with the environment rather than the phone. Some superfluous apps were installed by default. More seriously, when placed on a flat surface, the phone can slide off because of the camera bump, but no chips or scratches so far :-)

I've had the A36 for a couple of weeks. The migration from my old A71 was adequate... Samsung transferred over my settings, mostly.. but I still had to go in and log into and reconfigure many apps. Bettery life and performance are great. Camera isn't as crisp and clear as I'd like, in terms of capturing actual colours, like fall foliage. Overall, it's acceptable.

My new A36 5g is an upgrade from an A31 4g I've only had it a couple of weeks but it hasn't disappointed. The switch over was very easy. The phones features work well.

This his a very good device for the money but it doesn't come without some small glitches. Firstly, the camera is very good quality, both videos and photographs are of clear, high quality!! The battery is another strong point of the camera. The battery can last me 48 hours or more on a single charge with moderate daily use. One of my main issues with the device is it's slowness and tendency to freeze on a fairly frequent basis which slightly let's the performance down. The display is great and I often watch football and videos on the device with no issues with picture quality or streaming. The connectivity is sometimes temperamental with the 4g/5g dropping in and out, but this is have experienced with all my other phones too. Overall this phone is very good for a lower end/ budget Samsung device and I would recommend it. Prior to this phone I had a Samsung 22 ultra and the performance was superior with none of the aforementioned issues.

Everything is a bit slow to open and load. No wireless charging, Bluetooth drops out when you drive past toll booths, face recognition doesn't seem to work all the time, camera is also hard to focus. When you type on the keyboard often the first 5 or 6 key presses don't register for a few seconds and then come in later. Don't really like it.

I've always used more expensive phones, but the A36 has really surprised me. For the price, it offers solid performance — smooth enough for everyday tasks, nice screen quality, and great battery life. It might not have all the bells and whistles of a flagship, but it definitely gets the job done and feels like great value for the money.

I've owned a Galaxy A36 (SM-A366B/DS) for over a month and it's really good ! The battery and display are excellent, and the cameras are good enough.

I recently bought Oticon brand hearing aids. This may likely be a Oticon issue in that i need to carry a "Connect clip" in order to answer phone calls on an android. I am hoping that Samsung could work with Oticon to be compatible. Replacing lost clips costs money and it is yet another electronic decice near my head.

Sound is better and the ringtone volume better than my S22. S22 earpiece fails in colder months. Performance A36 is laggy, video recording 60fps still a little laggy , overall camera image quality is not as good. Overall an upgrade on a lower budget, shame no wireless charging and slightly bigger than hoped for..

I bought the Samsung A36 5G two weeks ago. Though the phone is value packed, it is clearly found wanting in design. Motorola models which are roughly costing the same price are miles ahead in design and styling. So some serious rethinking and changes are needed to restore Samsung to its earlier level of appeal.

Unfortunately, I'm sad to say my new phone does not perform as good as the last Samsung. It needs to be restarted on a regular basis just to get my zettel reader to even load. Not ideal for business. Display , battery and camera are fine .connectivity, again it struggles in comparison to my previous model

I love the larger display. The camera is good and I zoomed in on my cat in the garden and the picture was still pretty clear. I've downloaded a few more games as I've more internal storage. It's good that it is 5G (performance) so I can see my messages when im out and about. Battery lasts me about 48hrs.

Love my new Samsung that my husband bought for Mr to replace my old Samsung that was at least 8 years old. I only have to charge it once a day, connection is good, bigger display and much clearer, camera quality is great and overall performance great. Transferring info from old phone to new was seamless.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that the screen scrolling speed feels really quick. I like that the screen is very big, with skinny borders. I also like the Matt finish of the borders, but I would be a bit worried for the glossy finish of the backing in case it falls, if there is a scratch or crack it might be a bit too seen.

Phone does all the Phone things that it's supposed too, but the screen seems to freeze sometimes and not respond to tapping or swiping,. This is quite annoying and creates problems with several apps i have on the phone because it seems to be in one particular spot on the screen more than others.

Having had Samsung for as long as I can remember and never had a bad phone, I am hoping my positive experience continues. Having moved from the S20fe to the A36 I don't expect it to be in the same category with all bells and whistles, but first impressions are very good. The camera looks great - not sure if I will miss the zoom from the S20f, but time will tell. The only other major feature I may miss is the wireless charging - again time will tell - but it was generally only charged wirelessly overnight and occasionally in the day so probably won't miss it too much. Apart from the lower specifications to the S20fe, being 5 years newer with newer technologies, I am very hopeful. Don't let me down Samsung 🙂. The battery appears impressive and having years of updates is a major bonus - just hope the phone lasts long enough to need all the updates. My S20fe still feels and works brilliantly, except the battery and gets no more updates, so I am hoping the A36 feels the same in 5 years time

Overall a very good phone. One thing I don't like as with all Samsung's that I have owned is you can't add your own sound for message alerts like you can for ring tones. Your stack with corny chimes that only go for 2-3 seconds and in a bit of a noisy work environment they are hard to hear.

The size of the phone is awkward. Bigger than my last Samsung and bigger than my palm. The apps freeze on me and I need to restart them. The AI and other additional features are unnecessary. This is a work phone, so I am stuck with it for a while. I would not recommend the A36 to anyone.

Bought the phone mid way in march 2026. Easy to use. Buttons are slightly larger than S23. Clear screen showing good pixel clarity. Negative - the response at anytime is too slow, phone lags when buttons are pressed, at times the phone freezes for a few seconds Overall worth getting.

I was using the A15 5G, which all around very good. Then it went missing. So I rushed out to buy another Samsung phone. I noticed this A36 5G was an excellent choice, so I decided to move up a notch to better experience the Samsung phone with these new options better suited my needs...

I had to replace my good S10 because of the incompatiblility with the new 5G service . What a disappointment! To find how to operate or find the phone features i have to use another phone to get the information! It should be accessible from this phone... It's also too heavy.

Great phone for the price. Its got everything u need without all the fluff. Moved from a A50, this is so much better, camera that focuses and takes really good pictures. Could have gone for the A56, but there's not much difference between them but price. So the A36 is a winner!

I've been issued this, my S20 was great but started having various issues with it. A36 is a bit larger, and does everything I expect, except wireless charging. I got rid of google messages(default) for samsung messages, and a few other app adjustments, but it's ok so far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the product language in relation to the affordability of the phone; it’s the fact that it’s light weight yet appealing visually. I like that it’s thinner in thickness, makes it feel much more pocket friendly. I like the UI, feels more friendly and less techy
