ZJellyBeanz . 19 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do like the Galaxy AI. Something I found strange was there's no micro sd card for memory slot to expand memory. Speed it pretty fast. Only had a few minor glitches. Mainly due to issues with the app I was using. One issue I have is that I'm unable to link it to my Nissan.

Great phone but could use a few changes

thepcwiz101 . 20 hours ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The device is great and better than my old phone from Motorola. I don't like how i can't edit my quick bar to remove more items when i swipe down twice on my notification bar. Anything below the volume and brightness bars i do not use but it will not let me remove them. Galaxy AI i have found to be pretty useful as well.

Great little phone without the price tag

Ennovy . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After my Z Fold 4 finally gave up on me I had to chose... I loved my Z Fold 4 and all the features that Samsung offers on the Z Fold but since I was on budget and needed a phone I went with the Samsung A36. The price was very fair and it includes all the great features from Samsung like Ai, Samsung wallet, Samsung pay and the camera is also very good among other features that are very useful. If all you need is a phone to provide you with the basic features and without all the bells and whistles the A36 is the one. After the Z Fold I didn't think I would come to love another phone but since it's Samsung and has all I need I kove this one too.
