    Verdict

    The Samsung Galaxy A36 5G (6GB + 128GB) is a mid-range smartphone featuring a powerful Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 octa-core processor and a vibrant 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and 1,200 nits peak brightness. Its main pros include a durable build with Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front and back, an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, a versatile 50MP main camera with OIS, and an industry-leading software policy offering six generations of OS upgrades and six years of security updates. Key cons are the removal of the microSD card slot for storage expansion (present in some previous models) and the fact that the 45W fast charger is sold separately, as no charger is included in the box.
