Duryea . 1 day ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always liked Samsung. Their phones have always been sleeker than other brands. Especially since I got the s twenty two ultra, the year came out. I was planning to make that my long-lasting phone until there were no more updates or anything that I could get. I'm from it, but I had damage the screen and was looking for a new phone for a good while. I didn't want to part with the phone. They kept pushing off getting the screen faked. But once I saw that, the A 36 was pretty much the more budget-friendly version of the S22 ultra, I immediately bought it. I am definitely planning on keeping this phone for as long as I possibly can. In the Galaxy AI feature, it's extremely helpful for a lot of Google and searching that I tend to do. When I screenshot look for pictures and or just asking to use google's calculator. So thank you. Samsung for being a great brand that is always helpful, always unique and as always changing to help better your consumer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung made this phone reasonably priced. Then made it easy to use. Being 70yrs old i have to have something easy and yet comfortable with maneuvering around the apps and files. They sure did get it right with this phone. Who'd of thought that Grandma could ever figure out the biometrics and really loves using it. Or the Galaxy Ai stuff. Which I'm still learning new things, but the AI on pictures is great.
Actually I must say Samsung has really done an awesome job making me feel secure and safe with this phone. I would highly recommend it and especially for your grandparents.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy AI thin in is ok, don't really use it much though. I use my phone for everything from gaming to streaming to movies. Camera has excellent quality to it. However I wished they would have left the Micro SD slot and not taken it away as well as some other features, but overall the phone's a really great phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I personally love all of samsung products. I really like the AI features with the camera. It takes crisp pics, and when you take selfie and let AI do enhancements is looks great, not over the top with filters. Charges super fast, so far no complaints with this phone
