Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy M36 5G
Samsung Galaxy M36 5G Review: Downgraded, But Still Worthy?
Source: The Mobile Indian
At Rs 17,499, the Galaxy M36 5G feels like a step down from its predecessor in ways that are hard to justify. That said, when judged on its own, it holds up reasonably well—with solid battery life, an attractive design, great display, dependable and feature-packed software, and cameras that deliver good results in most situations. Its biggest shortcoming is performance, where it trails rivals and occasionally shows minor lags during everyday use.
