Samsung Galaxy A36 5G Smartphone 8GB 256GB Unlocked SIM-Free - Awesome White B+

I purchased the 8Gb ram 256GB memory version. Very good Android smartphone for a decent price. Pros: Great value for the price. Easy set up, including copying apps and settings from my old phone. Samsung includes five major updates for their phones, so on day one, it updated to Android 16. Smooth, fast, and stable performance. Excellent battery life with a built-in optimiser. Excellent front and selfie cameras. Cons: NO SD CARD SLOT. This means the on board 8GB of Ram and 256GB of Memory is all you get. Thicker and heavier than other comparable non-Samsung Android 16 models. Very square edges, which makes finding a comfortable case a challenge. (I purchased a Poetic Guardian Case.) I am keeping an eye on the memory, and will use the Universal Android Debloater if I need to make room.

I'm already a hardened Samsung mobile user so can confirm that their phones are very good and practically bulletproof. This purchase of the A36 is a secondary phone which I use for one of my other important mobile numbers. My primary phone, a Samsung A53 is truly excellent and still going strong -- no need to upgrade as yet (Android version 16). This newer-model A36 within the A3* range is easily as powerful as my more upmarket, older A53, clearly indicating the rate of progress where Samsung phones lower on the model scale are now at least as powerful as semi-recent more upmarket Samsung phones. A good sign. The phone is genuinely fast with a great screen and very long battery life. Normal use can easily see two days worth of battery ... maybe more for this new A36, depending on your usage. I only have one (frustrating!) complaint, however: no means of expanding the memory externally via a SD card! How bizarre! What were Samsung thinking??? If this was not my secondary phone, I would not have purchased it as, for my primary phone at least, I would emphatically demand external, SD memory for my music, etc. (obviously my primary A53 Samsung mobile has external memory expansion facilities). Let's trust that Samsung regain their senses and re-introduce external memory to their on-going future phones. Apart from the latter omission, this is a truly great phone ... buy with the usual Samsung confidence! It's a no-brainer. Note, this particular phone originates from Dubai, but this is not a problem at all. A WARNING: PLEASE BE AWARE, when first switching it on, the setup process will automatically begin as usual and, when it comes to language choice, do not rush it ... take your time as it automatically scrolls on a constant loop, requesting the user to choose their particular language. DON'T rush it ... wait for English to appear, choose this language and move on with the setting up. Choosing another language will create, ah, let's say, an interesting challenge going forward. It's a great phone and currently selling at a great price. No need at all to buy the latest A37 successor at a much higher price ... this A36 is more than fine & capable. Enjoy your new phone!

It has worked well so far. Nice quick charging. One signifiant drawback which I didn't realise until it arrived, however: the particular model I received is one with two physical SIM card slots but WITHOUT built-in eSIM capability. Apparently this only applies to a minority of A36 models. Apart from that, all pretty good.

So pleased with this phone, nice screen, good camera. Im glad I bought it after having lots of trouble with a reconditioned S23 which are not particularly good phones. Highly recommend this A36.

Very pleased

A Great Product , Five Stars xxxxx

Bought this phone as an upgrade to my previous Samsung. I was nervous of buying it, but on arrivall all looked great. It works well and does the basics, My only problem has been.....is that this phone does not accept an 'esim' card. We went on a trip overseas and wanted the simplicity of an esim.....but this phone has been locked so that you can't access the feature. UK Samsung A36 phones all have edim compatibility......maybe this phone is from overseas. Apart from the lack of exim functjion, it is a very good phone, but next time I shall purchase a phone from a local retailer.

Solid case exactly as described & looks online

I have been using the Samsung Galaxy A36 5G as my daily smartphone for work and personal use, including browsing, messaging, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, YouTube, and taking photos. The phone has been smooth and responsive in everyday use. The display is bright and vibrant, the battery easily lasts through a full day, and the performance is more than enough for daily tasks and light multitasking. The cameras produce good photos in most lighting conditions, and the overall software experience is clean and reliable. The build quality feels solid, and Samsung's long-term software update support adds significant value. While it is not a flagship device, it offers an excellent balance of performance, battery life, features, and price. Overall, I am very satisfied with this phone. It delivers everything I expected and represents excellent value for the money, making it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a reliable mid-range smartphone.

conforme aux attentes, rien à redire, livraison rapide

Excellent rapport qualité/prix . Un très bon modèle Samsung

Fijne telefoon, hoewel niet de allersnelste. Helaas redelijk veel bloatware. Nogal groot, dik en vooral zwaar. Het opladen zou snel zijn, maar vind ik nogal langzaam. Toezegging voor lange updates is prettig.

Compré este teléfono para mi hija adolescente y, después de aproximadamente un año de uso, puedo decir que ha resultado ser una muy buena elección. Uno de los motivos principales por los que me decidí por este modelo fue la buena relación calidad-precio y la sensación de que era un teléfono bastante resistente, algo importante cuando lo va a usar un adolescente. La pantalla es uno de los puntos fuertes. Es grande, se ve muy bien y además ha demostrado ser bastante resistente. En este tiempo ha sobrevivido al uso diario, a llevarlo en la mochila, a caídas ocasionales y al trato normal que suele recibir un móvil a esa edad, y sigue funcionando perfectamente. También destaca por su capacidad. Con 256 GB de almacenamiento y 8 GB de RAM, el teléfono funciona con bastante fluidez para el uso habitual: redes sociales, fotos, vídeos, aplicaciones y juegos moderados. No hemos tenido problemas de falta de espacio ni de rendimiento. Otra ventaja es que al ser 5G está preparado para redes rápidas, lo que lo hace bastante actual y con margen para durar varios años. La batería también responde bien para un uso diario típico de un adolescente. En general es un móvil equilibrado: buen rendimiento, pantalla de calidad, almacenamiento amplio y un precio razonable comparado con otros modelos. Para alguien joven que necesita un teléfono fiable para el día a día, me parece una opción muy recomendable.
