- Battery barely lasts a day
I have always had Samsung Galaxy models and I regret this purchase. Compared to previous models, the use is less intuitive, but the biggest problem is the battery. With normal use it is really empty after barely a day, I am not used to that. The screen is beautiful and it takes good pictures.

We didn't choose one of Samsung's flagships, our modest applications don't require all those bells and whistles. Still, the device works quite smoothly, transferring data from a 2018 Samsung to this A36 went smoothly. Possibly the most important reason for our choice for this A36 is the large storage capacity of 256GB.
