So far so good
Having had Samsung for as long as I can remember and never had a bad phone, I am hoping my positive experience continues. Having moved from the S20fe to the A36 I don't expect it to be in the same category with all bells and whistles, but first impressions are very good. The camera looks great - not sure if I will miss the zoom from the S20f, but time will tell. The only other major feature I may miss is the wireless charging - again time will tell - but it was generally only charged wirelessly overnight and occasionally in the day so probably won't miss it too much. Apart from the lower specifications to the S20fe, being 5 years newer with newer technologies, I am very hopeful. Don't let me down Samsung 🙂. The battery appears impressive and having years of updates is a major bonus - just hope the phone lasts long enough to need all the updates. My S20fe still feels and works brilliantly, except the battery and gets no more updates, so I am hoping the A36 feels the same in 5 years time

Easy to use smartphone
Love this phone. It's easy to use and the Samsung switch transfers everything easily from old phone to new. The battery charges quickly and lasts a good time for what I do, I like the battery saver option. The screen is a decent size and the eye comfort shield protects my eyes from glare. The camera works great for photos and it scans qr codes easily. It performs well, enabling me to use apps, call, message and email with ease. I chose this as it's not too complicated to work and the Samsung internet browser rids me of ads completely. It has fingerprint recognition which rarely fails so feels secure.

So pleased with my switch to Android!
This is my very first Android mobile as until now and for many years I have been a committed iPhone customer. I have heard good things about Samsung from friends and family and looking for a cheaper option when replacing my old and outdated iPhone I investigated what was available. I am very impressed with the A36 5G. It has a great battery life, a good range of aps, great storage and a much better camera than I thought it would have. Now with the new case and screen protector which I have added, it looks very smart indeed. I particularly liked the way I could transfer important content from my Iphone to my Samsung (which I was told would be very difficult - it was not) thanks to the very good Samsung software.

10/10 would recommend
Fantastic phone all round if you're looking to upgrade but don't want or need the newest model. The battery life is great and I'm super impressed with the quality of the camera, which is one the main reasons I opted for this phone. It was made very simple to transfer the contents of my old phone to this phone, and the overall performance thus far has been efficient and fast.

The Samsung Galaxy A36 5G (256GB, Lavender) is a fantastic mid-range phone that delivers both performance and style. The lavender colour gives it a unique, premium look, while the large storage means you won’t worry about running out of space anytime soon. Performance is smooth for everyday use, from browsing to streaming and social media, thanks to its 5G capability and responsive interface. The display is bright and clear, making videos and apps enjoyable to use. Battery life is reliable and easily lasts through a full day with normal use. Overall, it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a stylish, dependable smartphone with solid features at a reasonable price.
