Samsung Galaxy A36 5G — Disadvantages

Cons

Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.

Size is part of everyday use

With a 6.7-inch screen and a weight of 195 g, the Samsung Galaxy A36 5G is noticeable in a hand or pocket. Video has plenty of room, but reaching the top one-handed is awkward, and a case adds bulk.

Slower wired file transfers

The port transfers data at USB 2 speeds. Moving large videos to a computer can involve a wait; having a USB-C connector does not automatically mean USB 3 transfer speeds.

Storage needs planning

There is no microSD slot. If you record lots of video or keep an offline media library, choose enough storage at purchase: you cannot add a card later, and cloud storage needs an internet connection.
