  • Galaxy quality with a down to Earth price.
Color: Lavender Size: 128GB
The Samsung Galaxy A36 is everything I could have hoped for and more, and the guarantee of six years of Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates brings real peace of mind. The 5000mAh battery lasts so long, I only charge every 5-8 days.... granted my usage is lower than an average user and I run power save mode. The camera is the same camera you will get every new Galaxy except the S25 ultra. The Awesome Lavender color is beautiful and has an almost opalescent quality that becomes more profound in direct sunlight. It weighs a bit more than my old S8 but it also has a larger screen and is easier for me to type on with my big hands. Well done Samsung. ... show more

  • Great Expectations…Great Rewards…Great Disappointments
Color: Lavender Size: 128GB
I got 2 of these SAMSUNG Galaxy A36 5G devices (one BLACK, one LAVENDER) to replace my 2 2021 SAMSUNG Galaxy A32 5G devices (ONLY because the A32 security updates ended and the A36 purportedly provides 6 years of Android OS upgrades and security updates). Overall, I’m adequately satisfied and recommend the A36 (despite its weaknesses and frustrations). Hereinbelow I’ve provided ratings (based on 5 stars) for each individual aspect of my PROS & CONS. PROS: 1. (4/5) My 2 A36 devices perform exactly as described in Samsung’s technical specifications and in 4 critical reviews. 2. (5/5) The 6.7" FHD+ Super AMOLED display is AWESOME (super-bright, crisp, clear). 3. (4/5) For the A36, Samsung provides BOTH 6 years of Android OS upgrades AND 6 years of security updates (which may NOT be realistic IN ACTUALITY for the reasons detailed hereinbelow in CONS). CONS: 1. (2/5) Battery drain is much faster/greater in A36 than A32 when both are used in exactly the same way (even though all background actions are turned OFF in both the A32 & A36 and all unused apps are in DEEP SLEEP). -- When brand new, the A32 lasted 3-4 days. -- Used exactly the same way, the brand new A36 lasts only 1-2 days (even though the A36 CPU and GPU are somewhat more energy-efficient than the A32 CPU and GPU). -- INEXPLICABLE 2. (2/5) Even though Samsung advertises/features 45W fast charging in the A36, it is NOT sensible to use 45W fast charging on a regular basis. WHY NOT? A. I used a Samsung 45W FAST charger and another Samsung 15W charger to charge my new Samsung Galaxy A36. -- With the 45W charger, it took ca. 39 minutes to charge my A36 from ca. 30% to 100%. -- With the 15W charger, it took ca. 67 minutes to charge my A36 from ca. 29% to 100%. B. 45W/15W = 3 times the NOMINAL charging rate 67minutes/39minutes ==> ONLY 1.72 times the ACTUAL charging rate [i.e., the 45W charger took 58% (NOT 1/3) of the time needed by the 15W charger]. C. ALSO, 67minutes - 39minutes ==> 28 minutes saved. That minimal time-saving is not significant for me, especially when one considers the potentially-disastrous BATTERY-LIFESPAN DAMAGE from charging a lithium battery at 45W vs 15W (SEE SUMMARY TABLE hereinbelow), especially if the A36’s NON-user-REPLACEABLE battery were to die before the 6 years of ANDROID OS and security updates (viz., long after the 1-year warranty will have already expired and one is forced to buy another new device). =============== SUMMARY TABLE: =============== Charging Rate_____(20–85% @ 45W)___(0–100% @ 45W)___(20–85% @ 15W)___(0–100% @15W) Charging Cycles_____~1600–2000_________~500–700________~1800–2200________~600–900 Lifespan (years)______~4.5–5.5_____________~1.5–2.5__________~5–6______________~2–3 =============== Bottom-line REASONS why it’s OPTIMAL to use ONLY a 15W charger to charge ANY Lithium-ion BATTERY from 20%–85% ONLY: -- Avoids high-voltage wear (85–100%) -- Avoids low-voltage stress (<15–20%) -- Provides solid use (1-2 days between charges) -- Maximizes BATTERY lifespan without requiring micromanagement -- Well-matched with adaptive charging features -- Minimal risk of lithium plating 3. (1/5) A36 warranty is ONLY 1 year (even though Samsung purportedly provides 6 years of ANDROID OS upgrades and security updates) AND the battery is NOT user-replaceable. Consequently, one MUST effectively buy a new device if A36 battery dies after 1st warranty year. Moreover, as is self-evident in the SUMMARY TABLE above, the advertised/featured 45W fast charging SHORTENS battery lifespan to approximately 1-2 years, especially since 45W fast charging generates heat and accelerates battery wear, especially if used daily and/or in warm environments. -- PLEASE NOTE that ALL the latter realities are INCOMPATIBLE with 6 years of REAL A36 support by Samsung. WHY/HOW? A. Samsung officially supports the A36 with 6 years of Android OS upgrades and 6 years of security patches. Consequently, this creates a user expectation of device longevity (i.e., that the phone will remain usable for at least 6 years). B. However, in ACTUALITY, the reality of having ONLY a 1-Year Warranty AND a Non-user-Replaceable Battery is that after 1 year, the non-user-replaceable battery is no longer covered under warranty. Moreover, even though the battery can technically be replaced in service centers, Samsung does not make this convenient or affordable. Consequently, if the A36 battery degrades or dies (which seems highly likely in 1-2 years with 45W fast charging), Samsung's solution seems to be “buy a new phone”. SO WHAT'S THE INCOMPATIBILITY? C. Samsung is advertising 6 years of software support for a device whose core hardware component (battery) may realistically fail in 1-2 years (especially with 45W FAST charging). Without a convenient or affordable official battery replacement program, most users will have to replace the device entirely, thus making the 6-year support promise UNrealistic. 4. (1/5) Samsung’s “Easy Setup” is NOT easy (it’s GLITCHY and UNRELIABLE and cost me a LOT OF WASTED TIME). Consequently, I gave up and started over again by using the trivially-EASY Samsung and Google and WhatsApp BACKUP/RESTORE functionalities to quickly/easily MIRROR onto each new A36 EVERYTHING that I have on each A32. 5. (2/5) The A36’s SETTINGS’ sub-sub-sub-submenus are CONVOLUTED and UNNECESSARILY complicated compared to the A32’s SETTINGS’ functionalities. -- In order to ensure everything is setup as one wishes in the A36, one MUST click EVERY setting to locate functionalities that are now HIDDEN/BURIED in the A36 but were immediately visible/findable in the A32. -- WHY? Samsung? 6. (1/5) Digital assistants (like Google’s Gemini, Samsung’s Bixby, etc.) are SECURITY RISKS. Consequently, I don’t use them at all, BUT Google has made it almost impossible to deactivate Gemini in Android 15 without adversely affecting functionality. The best I could do is to NOT give Gemini a voice by selecting Google Assistant instead AND canceling all their active listening. ... show more

  • Good phone for Price
Color: Lavender Size: 128GB
My wife chose this phone to replace her refurbished Samsung S21. The S21 was giving her SIM messages and was not able to get messages or call. Only emergency calls. She likes the size of the phone. AI features for searches. The phone does heat up some, but if you don't need alot of background apps running always. Then just close some down and this will help. If not the heat you feel is not an issue. It does warm to touch for a full charge. Bought on Amazon on sale new. Saved approximately $137 off regular pricing from Verizon T Mobile. Very good phone without the Samsung S series pricing. She is very happy with her choice. ... show more

Probably an okay phone but the page I bought this from gave information that was inaccurate. Main thing was it claimed to have expandable storage via a SD card and the SIM tray had a slot for the SIM, and that was all. It's a main issue for me. Without it, the videos I make clog up the phone storage too fast. I needed the functionality of an SD card. ... show more
