Good phone for the price.
It's a good for an old boy working Samsung mobile. The battery lasts about 2 days. Transferring everything from the old phone was easy.

The best
Samsung really leaned into the "less is more" vibe here. At only 7.4mm thin, it feels significantly sleeker than previous A-series models. The Look: The "Key Island" design (where the side buttons sit on a slightly raised platform) and the premium glass back give it a high-end feel. Durability: Having Gorilla Glass Victus+ and an IP67 rating means it isn't just pretty; it’s tough enough to survive a drop in the sink or a dusty trail. The 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen is arguably the star of the show. Smoothness: The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling through social media feel buttery smooth. Brightness: With a peak brightness of 1,900 nits, you can actually see your maps or texts clearly even under direct midday sun. Under the hood, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset provides a very stable experience for daily tasks. Efficiency: It’s not a hardcore gaming rig, but it handles multitasking and apps like a champ without overheating. The 5,000mAh Battery: Samsung finally upgraded the charging to 45W. If you have a compatible charger, you can hit 50% in about 30 minutes, which is a massive quality-of-life improvement. The 50MP main sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) is the workhorse here. Nightography: Samsung brought over better AI processing for low-light shots, so your evening photos look crisp rather than grainy. Selfies: The 12MP front camera is sharp enough for high-quality video calls and 4K social media clips. Since the A36 5G runs One UI 7 (or 8) on a capable Snapdragon chip, it handles Samsung’s Good Lock app brilliantly. If you haven't explored it yet, Good Lock is a "power user" toolkit found in the Galaxy Store that lets you redesign the interface.

New A36 phone
All good transferred most every thing problems with Whatsapp lost a couple of messages in transfer, and had problems with bluetooth, as it was still connected to my other phone all sorted now. Much faster than my old phone and don't need a micro sd card, as was not provided with this phone, I choose more phone memory. Also changed the black background but did at first changed it back automatically found this annoying but all ok now.
