I’ve been using my Samsung phone for a little while now, and overall I’m really happy with it. The screen is bright and clear, which makes watching videos and scrolling much more enjoyable. The battery life has been strong—I can go through the whole day with normal use without worrying about charging.
The camera is another big plus. It takes sharp photos with good color, and I especially like how it performs in low light compared to my older phone. The phone also feels smooth when switching between apps, and I haven’t noticed any lag.
The only downside for me is that it can feel a little large to hold with one hand, but that also means the display is big enough for movies and games.
Overall, I’d recommend this Samsung phone to anyone who wants a reliable, fast, and modern device that balances performance with a great screen and camera.

I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy A36 5G 128GB (Unlocked) in Awesome Lime, and I’ve been very impressed with it so far. The phone feels fast, smooth, and reliable for everyday tasks like social media, streaming, and calls. The 128GB storage and unlocked flexibility make it easy to switch carriers and store everything I need without worrying about space.
The color really stands out—the Awesome Lime finish looks stylish and modern. Battery life has also been solid, easily lasting through a full day with regular use. The 5G connectivity on this phone has been strong, and apps load quickly without lag.
The camera is good for the price, especially in daylight, but it can be a bit softer in low-light situations. For most casual photos and videos, it gets the job done well.
Overall, this is a great value phone if you want a reliable 5G device, plenty of storage, fast performance, and a fun color option. I’m happy with my purchase and definitely recommend it!

When my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra unexpectedly failed, I needed a replacement fast. As a former Galaxy Note 9 user, I’m no stranger to premium smartphones, but the $1,200 price tag of the newly released S25 Ultra felt steep on such short notice. Instead, I turned to the Samsung Galaxy A36 5G, a model that had launched just a day earlier. My approach was pragmatic: try it out, and if it fell short, return it for a flagship upgrade. To my delight, the A36 5G has proven itself a worthy contender.
Priced at $400, the Galaxy A36 5G delivers a surprising level of performance. It’s responsive for web browsing and video streaming, and the handful of mobile games I tested ran without a hitch. While it may not handle graphically intensive titles like Genshin Impact, it’s well-suited for casual gaming and daily tasks. The 6.7-inch OLED display is a highlight—bright, vibrant, and paired with a 120Hz refresh rate for exceptionally smooth visuals. As a fan of larger screens, I find the size ideal.
The camera system is another strong point, producing sharp photos and supporting 4K video recording—a rarity at this price. Storage is limited to 128GB with no microSD slot, which works for my needs but could be a constraint for heavy photographers or videographers. Thankfully, cloud storage options like Google Drive offer a practical workaround for most users.
Staying in Samsung’s ecosystem pays off here, as the A36 5G integrates seamlessly with my Galaxy Buds Pro 3 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, unlocking their advanced features. Not long ago, expecting a 120Hz display, 4K video, and solid performance from an entry-to-mid-tier phone like this would have been unrealistic. The Galaxy A36 5G reflects how much this segment has evolved.
Against flagship standards, I’d score it a 3.5 out of 5—it can’t rival the sheer power or versatility of top-tier devices. But for its $400 price and robust feature set, it earns a well-deserved 5 out of 5. For now, I’m content sticking with the A36 5G; it meets my needs without the premium cost of a flagship.

The iPhone 16 Plus 256GB stands out for its large and sharp 6.7” display, excellent battery life, smooth performance with iOS 18, and ample storage. The camera delivers very good photo and video quality, making it ideal for everyday use. A great choice if you want a powerful, reliable iPhone with a big screen without paying for a Pro model.

Bought this for my son, and it’s been perfect for him. If you want something simple, reliable, and fast without paying flagship prices, this is the one. Battery life is solid, the screen looks great, and performance is smooth for everyday use. Definitely a great mid-range option that feels premium for the cost.

I bought this during Black Friday but didn’t open it until today. Setup was very easy, and I was able to transfer my SIM without any problems. The phone is very responsive and fast, and browsing social media is smooth and effortless. One downside, although not a big concern for me, is that they removed the SD card slot. It’s supposed to add more internal storage, but it doesn’t really feel like much of an upgrade. Overall, I’m happy with it and really like the phone.

Very happy with features, camera and battery life. Been with the Samsung A series for years. Always gets the job done. Great base line series for people who just need a reliable phone for day to day and work purposes.

Seems to be a very nice device. It has many more functions than I need so it will take some time for me to sort out which functions beyond phone calls and texts I will use. I am definitely NOT a power user so I have no problem with the battery life, it lasts multiple days for me. I am pleased that Samsung has included 6 years of updates with it. Happy with my purchase. You will need a case as, like all smart phones today, it is as slippery as a piece of ice.

Good phone but starts to get slow after a few months of use. This phone however is am amazing phone with a good camera and screen. It even has an under display fingerprint sensor. Overall, if you need something in this price range, I recommend it. It does have a better battery life than the base model s25, I realized.
