A durable mid-range upgrade built for everyday use | Samsung Galaxy A36

Accidents happen, and smartphones need to be able to handle real-life situations. With water resistance, reliable performance, and long-term software support, the Samsung Galaxy A36 is positioned as a mid-range option for users who want a phone that can keep up with daily demands without constant worry.

For those working within a tighter budget, Samsung also offers the Galaxy A26, which shares several core features at a lower price point, making it another practical option within the Galaxy A series lineup. Watch our video below for a closer look at how the Galaxy A36 handles durability and multitasking performance in real-world use:

Durability, display everyday usability

The Galaxy A36 comes with an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, offering protection against spills, splashes, and everyday exposure to the elements. It also features a durable glass back, adding extra peace of mind against minor knocks and impacts. The Galaxy A36 and A26 feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, delivering sharp visuals and vibrant colours for browsing, streaming and daily use.

Performance stability, battery life, and long-term support

Designed for consistent performance, the Galaxy A36 supports up to 12GB of RAM and storage up to 256GB, making multitasking smoother for content creation, editing, or switching between apps. It also features a 15% larger vapour chamber to help manage heat and reduce thermal throttling, even in warmer conditions. With up to 29 hours of video playback and six years of OS and security updates available on both models, long-term usability remains a key strength of the Galaxy A series.

Worth considering?

Priced at RM1399, the Galaxy A36 is a solid option for users who prioritise durability, smooth multitasking, and long battery life in a mid-range smartphone. Meanwhile, the RM1099 Galaxy A26 offers the same essential features, such as IP67 water resistance, a large Super AMOLED display, and extended software support at a more accessible price.
