I was worried but I didn't need to be

DiamondDiva94 . 2 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I was ready to upgrade from my old device, I wanted to make sure whatever phone I got would be a great fit and that I got exactly what I was hoping for. Ever since I got my first Samsung Galaxy phone YEARS ago, I knew I'd most likely never get a different brand again. The part I like the most? Knowing that when I buy a new phone, as long as it's a Samsung Galaxy, I won't be disappointed and I won't regret it one bit. The A series phones are my favorite. They're a great price and I prefer this series over the others personally. Not just because of the price but because of the top notch performance that I always get when I go with a Galaxy too. The picture quality is always great, I love the security features as well. I have ZERO complaints and only positive experiences with these phones. And of course it's also a HUGE bonus how easy it is to switch from one Galaxy to another because of the smart switch app. I don't know of any other brand that makes their devices so easy to use in general either. This new phone will undoubtedly last me for years but whenever I AM ready for an upgrade, the only phones I'll even bother picking from will be Samsung Galaxy phones 100%!

This device has great features for its price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I mainly use my device for scrolling through social media, gaming, and browsing through the internet. I have had great experiences with the device, however there are some issues I have experienced. For example the device frequently overheats and lags when doing some moderate to heavy gaming. I have mainly experienced these issue when playing COD Mobile even though i have the graphics on the lowest possible settings and the frame rate locked at high. I also experience some light lagging when switching between apps frequently. But aside from that the device has been very fun to use, especially with the AI features in the gallery app. (Ex. The magic object eraser and the AI enhancer.)

MrKirby . 6 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not understanding the actual capabilities of this device versus the other A series while separately evaluating the AI. I Could appreciate access to several options and make a difference between what I want from my next developer. All phones are the same in purpose and different platforms allow privacy, less security and productivity. I only need the right person to get the job done in this position to make a more clear statement of the raised topics that truly are important for me and others yet you release a development to work on breaches. This device has not reached the AI system yet but it's still working now so it's not bad right away but I Could connect wireless laptop with the AI controller for better quality and productivity in phones privacy, more security and productivity.

Abba2heart . 7 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy A36 was to me a midrange phone that could have gone way more further. Don't get me wrong, for a midranger you still get that flagship experience on certain features like Galaxy Ai. In my opinion what keeps at 4/5, for a 5000mah battery it needed a better core processor. Maybe a snapdragon, something that gives the midrange experience the boost and excitement most users can feel excited looking ahead in the future for samsung. SAMSUNG FOREVER

R&R - 5 days ago

Hello Abba2heart, The Galaxy A36 5G provides a strong balance of features, and it’s impressive to see how AI enhancements have contributed to a more premium feel for the device. I recognize the desire for additional processing power to better support the large battery and improve the overall midrange experience. Thank you for sharing your insightful feedback and enthusiasm for Samsung, and for choosing Samsung as your preferred brand. -Ty Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages
