Not a reliable device.

Annoyed . 1 day ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Phone loses internet over wifi whenever i stop using. Have to turn wifi off and on every time. No other device in my household has this issue, except the other samsung one (galaxy tab). Also touchscreen can become unresponsive if you take too many screenshots or photos and you have to restart device. Memory managment is also poor, apps in the background are killed often. There is some galaxy ai too.

R&R - 15 hours ago

Hey Annoyed, Thank you for sharing your honest experience with the Galaxy A36 5G. Designed to support daily needs with a simple interface, reliable connectivity, and smart features, your feedback on how it performs under heavier use is valuable. You mentioned concerns like Wi-Fi reconnecting after being idle, the touchscreen lagging during heavy multitasking, and background apps closing more often than you’d like. This may suggest it’s time for a software update. To check for updates: swipe down with two fingers from the top right corner of the screen, then tap the Settings icon. Navigate to and select Software update or System updates—this may differ between models. Tap Download and install, Check for system updates, or Check for software updates, depending on your carrier. If an update is available, it should start downloading automatically, but on some devices you might need to tap Download now. Once downloaded, follow the on-screen steps to install. You can learn more about updating your device through the link below. Our knowledgeable Samsung Support Team is ready to assist—feel free to contact us.

Beeeshae . 3 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall a great phone. I especially love the Galaxy AI! I would like to suggest adding a feature that would prevent the phone from accidentally dialing 911 multiple times while in one's pocket (and yes I had screen lock on along with the other option that is supposed to prevent this from occurring)

R&R - 9 hours ago

Hey there Beeeshae, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy A36 5G. We're glad to hear you're enjoying its smart, intuitive features and overall performance. Your suggestion to add safeguards against accidental emergency dialing is valuable; we love hearing how customers want to improve their experience. To stop your Galaxy from dialing 911 accidentally, you can enable Accidental Touch Protection, turn off Double Tap to Wake, set a strong screen lock like a PIN or fingerprint, and customize Emergency SOS by requiring a swipe or disabling automatic calls if your software allows. These options are available in Settings under Display, Advanced Features, and Safety & Emergency. Blocking accidental touches prevents the screen from registering inputs when your device is in dark places like a pocket or bag. To turn on this feature, go to Settings > Display, then swipe the switch on Block accidental touches to the right. Your feedback helps us develop future updates. Thank you for your review, and for being part of the Samsung community. Prevent accidental screen touches on your Galaxy phone https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10003301/ -Ty Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages
