Reviews

8.1/10 by Shimul Sood | 13 Mar 2025

Should you buy the Samsung Galaxy A36 in 2025? Samsung has given it a fresh design, finally setting it apart from the flagship S series. Some may call it a downgrade, but honestly, it was time for the A-series to have its own identity. The camera module is oddly charming, and the sleeker form factor is a welcome upgrade. For daily use, its smooth, reliable, and fuss-free. But if gaming is your priority, the Realme GT 6 or OnePlus 12R would be better picks. The cameras deliver sharp shots in most conditions, though image processing can be hit or miss. Overall, its a solid choice for those who want longevity, a clean software experience, and a slim designif only Samsung had been a bit more generous with the pricing.

7.8/10 by Shubh Bhushan | 10 Oct 2025

The Samsung Galaxy A17 stays true to its roots in the Galaxy A series. It offers a vibrant display, years of guaranteed software updates, and solid battery life at a price that many can afford. Although its performance is mostly adequate for regular use, when pushed to its limits with demanding games or heavy multitasking, it may not offer the best experience in this price segment. The mono speaker setup also falls short of delivering the depth and clarity needed for an immersive multimedia experience. Fortunately, this limitation doesnt take away from the phones overall usability.
