What you get with the Galaxy A36 5G
The A36 is the phone for people who want a step up from budget phones without paying A5x prices. It is fast, charges quickly and has the long software support Samsung is known for.
A bright 120Hz Super AMOLED screen
The 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display runs at 120Hz and reaches 1,900 nits peak brightness, so it stays clear even in strong Nairobi sunshine. Gorilla Glass Victus+ protects the front and back.
Snapdragon speed
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, built on a 4nm process, keeps apps, multitasking and games smooth. With 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, you have room for years of photos and apps. There is no microSD slot, so the 256GB version is the right choice.
A camera with OIS
The 50MP main camera has optical image stabilisation for sharper night shots and steady video, joined by an 8MP ultra-wide and a 5MP macro. The 12MP front camera records 4K video.
45W charging and long updates
The 5,000mAh battery lasts a full day, and 45W charging fills it much faster than the 25W phones below it (charger sold separately). The A36 launched on Android 15 with Galaxy AI features such as Circle to Search, and Samsung promises six OS upgrades and security updates until 2032.

Galaxy A36 vs A37 vs A56: which should you buy?
| Phone | Price from | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy A37 5G | KSh 40,000 | The newer model, with IP68 and a newer Android version |
| Galaxy A36 5G | KSh 44,000 | 256GB storage and Snapdragon speed |
| Galaxy A56 5G | KSh 50,000 | A metal frame and a better ultra-wide camera |
The A37 replaced the A36 in 2026. It adds IP68 and launched on Android 16, so it will get updates for about a year longer. Our A36 comes with 256GB of storage, so compare like for like: if storage matters most, the A36 is a strong buy; if you want the newest model and the longest support, choose the A37.
