    Very good computer for gaming, it's fine for undemanding games.

    It's a very good phone for the price, especially if you find it at a great price. It's great for casual games like Free Fire, PUBG, etc. The camera is very good for the price, but it doesn't excel in night photography. The battery is decent, though it doesn't last as long as you'd expect with a 5000 mAh battery, but it does the job. The design feels premium and it's very comfortable to carry in your pocket. The screen quality is excellent; it has a great resolution for multimedia, and the sound is fantastic thanks to Dolby Atmos. In short, it's a very good phone for the price. Don't expect too much, guys. If you're complaining, buy the S25 Ultra and stop harping on the A36.

    Good for everyday use

    It's a pretty good phone for basic things like calls, messages, social media, and somewhat good for some less demanding games. It has good resolution cameras and a battery that can last quite a while with normal use.

    Cons
    • No 8k recording
    • It does not have IP68

    It's an ideal phone for someone who wants something good and affordable that has many good features overall.

    I love it for gaming, but the battery life depends on usage; it can last only 6 hours, or sometimes a day and a half. It's all relative. It takes good photos and videos, it's aesthetically pleasing, and it does what you need it to do. And if you push it, it performs well.

    Good cell phone for basic use, although it falls short in some aspects.

    A decent mid-range phone for basic tasks (social media, email). While the phone performs smoothly, it does tend to lag occasionally. I'm not sure if this is due to the somewhat heavy One UI interface. It also has annoying bloatware pre-installed, but the good news is that it can be removed. As for the camera, daytime photos are good, but at night, the results leave much to be desired. They're not bad, but the quality is lacking. Another negative aspect is overheating. Keep in mind, I don't use the phone for gaming, just for everyday use. Finally, the box contents are unforgivable; Samsung's decision not to include a charger or case seems like a flawed policy. Even Motorola and Xiaomi include a charger and case in their mid-range phones.

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
