Design and Build

Samsung has always focused heavily on looks and ergonomics in the A series, and the Samsung Galaxy A36 is no different. According to leaked renders, the phone sports a modern and minimalist design with a combined camera island that makes the rear cameras appear as one, giving it a more cohesive and premium look. It is confirm to be slim with thickness around 7.4mm, easy to hold and use. However, it is quite a weighty one when it comes to be made from good quality plastic materials. On the front, there will probably be a large display with thin bezels for an immersive experience.

Display

As per these leaks, the Galaxy A36 will boast a 6.64-inch Super AMOLED screen, which is well known for bright and deep colors. With this display technology, users receive immersive and compelling visuals, from video streaming to gaming to photo browsing. It is likely to feature a Full HD+ display for crisp images. Along with this, the display could have a variable refresh rate, somewhere between 90Hz to 120Hz, providing smooth scrolling and an overall good experience. That higher refresh rate is great for both gaming and simply navigating the user interface, making interactions smooth and responsive.

Performance

On the hardware side, the Samsung Galaxy A36 is expected to sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor. The chipset takes care of everyday tasks easily, handles multitasking smoothly, and delivers a smooth performance. Its performance, although not close to flagship processors, provides a balanced option for everyday applications, from surfing social media to low-level gaming. For multitaskers, the device will reportedly land with various RAM options, beginning with 6GB. Storage is expected to start around 128GB, which should be plenty for apps, photos, and media. The device might have expandable storage capability, through a microSD card slot for those who need more storage.

Camera Capabilities

The second thing is that the camera system on the Samsung Galaxy A36 is excellent for a smartphone, and it should be perfect for aspiring photo novices. On the back, we can expect a triple-camera system led by a 50MP primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). This primary camera is constructed with taking clear and detailed pictures in a number of lighting situations. Alongside the main sensor, there’s also an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, perfect for fitting in those wide landscapes or large groups. It also has a 5MP macro lens for close range photography, so users can glean the details of their subject. Also, will be the 12MP selfie camera on the front to take clear and bright pictures and videos.

Battery Life and Charging

Battery life will always be a significant consideration for smartphone buyers, and the Samsung Galaxy A36 hopes to be able to check that box as well. It features an impressive 5,000mAh battery for prolonged usage on a single charge, even during demanding usage. Answering the needs of streaming content, gaming, or multitasking, the battery is built to meet your needs. In addition, the Galaxy A36 is expected to come with support for 45W Super Fast Charging technology. This advancement enables them to accelerate charging rates, enhancing user experience by allowing for fast battery replenishment and downtime minimization. This is useful for people with lots of stuff to do who just plug in for a little extra hours.

Software and Updates

Although the Samsung Galaxy A36 is a budget phone, Samsung stands behind delivering a smooth software experience. Out of the box, the device should ship with Android 15, skinned by Samsung’s custom One UI 7. This version aims to deliver streamlined navigation experience, upgraded privacy controls and visual consistency. Plus, Galaxy A36 comes with commitment of six major OS updates, so customers can continue to enjoy the latest features, security patches and improvements for years. Because of this long-term support, the device feels more valuable, with users who might worry about the software becoming obsolete feeling reassured.

Connectivity and Other Features

For our interconnected world, great connectivity options are indispensable. The samsung Galaxy A36 will likely be 5G capable, so you can count on fast speeds for streaming, downloading, and browsing on the web. This makes the device future-ready, as 5G networks are being deployed across the world. The phone should also feature Bluetooth 5.2 that improves the connectivity with peripherals like wireless earbuds and smartwatches. It will likely support Wi-Fi 6, ensuring that you can get a faster and more stable wireless internet connection, even in the hands of a crowded-connected environment. With NFC, Apple Pay is supported and pairing with compatible devices is effortless.
