Samsung Galaxy M36 Expert Review Summary
In it’s segment, this phone is among
Expert Rating:
![Dhruv Joshi]()
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy M36 feels like an incremental update. The design has improved, the camera now gets OIS, and software support is longer but there are niggles. The battery is smaller, and there is no real gain in performance or charging speed. If your priorities are good cameras, long-term software, and a great media experience, the device is worth considering.
Pros
- Excellent displays and speakers
- Dependable cameras
- 6 years of software support
- Decent everyday performance
Cons
- Smaller battery than predecessor
- Drop-notch display
- Mono speaker
Design and display
+
The Galaxy M36's design is a more refined version of its predecessor. The cameras are now housed in a clean, pill-shaped module instead of the individual rings seen on the previous model. The new rear panel features a glossy metal finish that keeps fingerprints at bay. However, it is quite prone to smudges, at least the Haze Orange colour I have for review.

Cameras
+
The camera setup is largely familiar, featuring a 50MP primary camera, an 8MP wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro lens. The key upgrade is the addition of Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) to the main sensor, resulting in better-stabilised photos and videos.

Performance and software
+
The Galaxy M36 is powered by the Samsung Exynos 1380 SoC, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, which is expandable via a microSD card. For day-to-day use, the phone performs well.

Battery and Charging
+
The Galaxy M36's battery has been downgraded to 5,000mAh from its predecessor's 6,000mAh cell. In our lab tests, the phone lost 23 percent of its charge after two hours of gaming and streaming, which is slightly better than the segment average of 24 percent.
