Samsung is preparing to introduce the new Galaxy A36 5G, another model in the remarkably successful Galaxy A series. Although the company has not revealed the launch date, many rumors suggest that the phone could launch in mid-March 2025. So this mid-range device aims to offer luxury over cost with a price of around ₹23999 in India; this could be one of the most attractive cheap phones we'll see next year. Let's find out!

Design and Display

The Galaxy A36 5G is designed to resemble Samsung's flagship S series, boasting a sleek and modern design. One of its impressive specifications includes a 6.6 inches Super AMOLED touchscreen that has a FHD+ resolution and an amazing 120Hz refresh rate which means everything that moves through the screen including scrolling and playing games on it will be so much smoother. Besides looking good, it is also made to survive under tough conditions courtesy of Gorilla Glass Victus+. And for those who are into beautiful designs, A36’s luxurious look would certainly catch your attention at this price point.

Performance

Though the company hasn't revealed the phone yet, according to several rumors and reports, the Galaxy A36 5G is expected to be powered by the Exynos 1480 chipset, which should offer solid performance for everyday tasks and even some gaming. Upgrading from 6GB to 8GB of RAM will ensure seamless multitasking, while the base variant is expected to offer 128GB of storage - enough for your apps, photos, and files. If performance is a priority, the A36 5G should have enough horsepower to satisfy most users without hitting flagship price points.

Camera

Samsung has been consistent in providing good camera performance, and that includes the A36 5G as well. It will have a triple-camera system on the rear with 50 MP + 50 MP + 50MP, while the details of the sensors are still unknown. However, you will get an increase in this area and you should not have any problem with it as Samsung has done well in terms of mobile photography. Talking about the front camera, it may also have some improvements with 42MP, including reduction in bezel size and better selfies.

For video creators, the phone should have 4K UHD recording capability, to ensure that high-quality video can be created from your pocket.

Battery and Charging

The Galaxy A36 5G is expected to pack a 5000mAh battery, which should give you enough power to comfortably last you through your day. Samsung is likely to make some improvements to the battery efficiency, and the addition of fast charging will ensure you never have to wait long for a full charge as the device is likely to come with 45W fast charging and 15W wireless charging.

Software

The new Samsung A36 5G will be equipped with the most recent One UI version, developed for the Android 14 OS, and provides the users with easily navigable interfaces. It is widely known that Samsung has developed one of the best skins known as One UI for its phones and it is very easy to customize according to one’s taste and preferences. The software updates together with 5G connectivity will make the phone future-proof for the years to come.

While we expect the A36 5G to hit many marks, it will also come with extras that set it apart from its competition. Potential aluminum frames will give it a more durable feel, and connectivity features like 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth 5.3, and USB-C ensure you're ready for the future. These features, combined with an in-display fingerprint sensor for added security, make the Galaxy A36 5G a well-rounded and future-proof option.

Undoubtedly a key trait of the Galaxy A36 5G lies in its pricing. This device is expected to retail for around $399; for that price, it provides numerous great features typical of much higher-priced devices, including a Super AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, and a large battery. In India, the 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant is anticipated to be priced around ₹23,999, which presents an attractive value option for buyers on a tight budget.

The Samsung Galaxy A36 5G is poised to be an amazing addition to the A-series of phones, with an excellent balance of design, performance, and features at an unbeatable price. The 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display is stunning, the Exynos 1480 will deliver solid performance, and of course, you get Samsung's excellent software experience, which should make the Galaxy A36 5G a great value for both casual users and enthusiasts. Whether you need a phone for making calls and browsing clips, gaming, or photography, the Galaxy A36 5G will be worth the wait in 2025.
