Brilliant to see how much you are enjoying your A36 5G! The intuitive software makes using this phone a breeze, and the 5000 mAh battery has you covered throughout the day with life to spare. The 50 MP main camera lens allows you to unleash your inner photographer and capture high quality snaps. While your previous phone was great, this model benefits from a larger display and battery, a higher resolution camera, an upgraded processor, and so much more.

Thanks for taking the time to review your Galaxy A36. Your user feedback is really important to us. We're sad to hear that you're having an issue with your biometrics and that your device is behaving slowly when loading new screens. This isn't what we'd expect to hear, and we'd love to help get these hiccups resolved for you so that you can enjoy your phone as intended. We'd initially recommend ensuring your screen protector (if you have one), finger, and scanner are clean and dry. If you do have a screen protector, please ensure it isn't interfering with the sensor. Next, restarting your phone can be a big help in resolving all manner of issues. 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.
