Samsung Galaxy A36 A36 5G Black 256GB
Its 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display and 50MP main camera with OIS and 10x optical zoom distinguish this phone at a budget-friendly tier. The device also packs 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, IP67 water resistance, and dual-SIM 5G connectivity in a refined build. It’s best for users who want a vivid screen and capable photography but can accept a battery life rating of just 28.7 out of 100.
