Hello Shak, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Galaxy A36 5G. This device features a bright display, reliable 5G connectivity, and a long-lasting battery designed to support your busy lifestyle. We understand that having your phone slow down while using GPS, Bluetooth, and the Uber app can disrupt your workday and waste valuable time. You may experience lag when using Bluetooth and GPS simultaneously due to the device's processing power. To ensure smooth performance while using both features, please close any unnecessary background applications and optimize your phone. The Quick Optimization feature can enhance your device's performance by identifying apps that drain battery life. It efficiently clears unnecessary items from memory, deletes unnecessary files, scans for malware, and shuts down apps running in the background. Optimizing your phone is quick and straightforward. To do this, go to Settings, scroll to Device Care, tap Optimize Now, then tap Done. For more information, please see the online article linked below. Your feedback on multitasking performance is valuable, especially when your phone is essential for navigation and ride requests. Thank you for sharing these insights with Samsung. Keep your Galaxy phone or tablet from slowing down with Device Care https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10001953/ -Ty Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-MessagesSamsung US Originally posted on Samsung US

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Samsung Galaxy isn’t just a phone; it’s the command center for my vibrant life. Balancing five children, a career, an upcoming podcast ("Getting you ready for life"), and creative writing, this device bridges my grandest ambitions and daily reality, supercharged by Samsung.
In my world, passion and logistics run hand in hand. Whether I'm live-streaming my daughter’s majorette parade, tracking my son's soccer conditioning, or streaming movies and gaming during rare downtime, the brilliant display brings every moment to life. Where this device truly transcends standard tech is the hustle. When researching societal issues for my podcast or writing encouraging lyrics for a youth dance team, Galaxy AI acts as an intuitive creative partner to organize thoughts and refine scripts. For school projects, like my children's STEM boards, it transforms into a research hub to instantly explore complex bioengineering concepts. The ultimate synergy happens on the move. Navigating Chicago requires absolute precision. By integrating Google Maps, my morning commute is completely optimized. Galaxy AI works in the background to predict routes, adjust for Metra schedules, and streamline my drive to the Amazon station. As I coordinate my son's summer STEM intensive or plan a professional transfer closer to home, Google Maps doesn't just show traffic it maps out my time. It wins back precious minutes for family and poetry. My Samsung phone turns a hectic schedule into a symphony of achievement.

Is this device good for talking on the phone with cochlear implant? I use iPhone 11 and have to put speaker phone on in order to hear. Even with the volume up.
