The Samsung Galaxy A36 5G has arrived as a major contender in the mid-range market, blending premium flagship-inspired design with long-term reliability. Released in early 2025, it serves as the successor to the popular A35, bringing significant upgrades in charging speed and software support.
Design and Display: A Touch of Flagship
The Galaxy A36 sports a more refined look with a slim 7.4mm profile, making it noticeably sleeker than its predecessor. It features the “Key Island” design on the side frame and uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+—a rare premium touch for this price point.
- Display: 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED
- Refresh Rate: 120Hz for buttery smooth scrolling
- Brightness: Up to 1,900 nits peak, ensuring excellent visibility even under the harsh Philippine sun.
- Durability: IP67 rating for water and dust resistance.
Performance and Software
Samsung has opted for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset. While it’s not a flagship-grade gaming beast, the 4nm processor is highly efficient for multitasking.
One of its biggest selling points is the Software Longevity. Samsung promises 6 years of OS upgrades and security patches, meaning this phone will remain current until 2031.
