82 out of 100 low confidence 6 reviews
The Samsung A36 is generally well-received for its fast performance, excellent camera, and seamless data transfer from older Samsung phones. However, some users experienced carrier compatibility issues, particularly with AT&T, and the lack of expandable storage via SD card is a notable drawback. Overall, it offers great value for an unlocked phone, especially for international use.
