Keep everything running without hunting for a charger.

Galaxy A36 5G
Great service as I'm using through Mint Mobile. Wonderful pictures. At the bottom of my screen and down to the outer edge by the microphone; I see a very thin slot along the right side that looks to be 3/8" long. What is that?

Great Features
It’s reasonably easy to use, although trying to find out how to use it took some time as I needed to find the buried info on the phone itself. Only just discovered after three months why the photos I took wouldn’t appear as it was on the wrong setting. Phone is stylish a good price quick to charge up and overall very pleased with it.

Easy to navigate
Phone arrived promptly and the price was good. Phone feels nice and once I got my head around the way you navigate around it, it was easy to use.

Early days
I have only had this for two days so it is early days yet. It is taking me a while to get used to it as all my previous phones have been Motorola which work differently. I will say so far it seems to be faster, with a clear crisp display. Battery life seems to be very good. Not tried the camera yet,but my grandson has a similar one and he is very pleased with the results

Good phone from "basic" range
I needed a new phone as my a decade old iPhone couldn't update to the newest iOS and run most app anymore and wasn't getting security patches either. I wanted to switch to Android and went for Samsung, but just a "basic" range. Obviously, it blows my mind compared to an iPhone that's ten years old. So I'm very happy with all the "new shiny things" I get with just a "basic" Samsung, which was not even much more costly than the iPhone when I got it all those years ago (the iPhone was refurbished - while the Samsung is new).

Great features
I am very pleased with my new MOB it has taken time setting it and linking it to other devices. Camera good. Display bright and clear. Battery lasts for about a week. Good perfomance.
