            Despite of the semi dissapointed chipset, this phone will be best selling Midrange phone just because of Samsung brand itself and OneUI (probably with 6 OS upgrades).

            Samsung is like a Vespa of smartphone. People never buy Vespa because of its efficient motor or its feature, its always the brand itself.

                              This is looking like the first attractive midranger by Samsung (to me) in a long time. Even the design im a fan of.
                              But wish it was a 7 gen 3 or even better the 7+ gen 3 instead.

                                Some intereting quirk about this one, is that even if it comes with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, its GPU benchmark scores in the Geekbench Vulkan tests are around 60% higher of the Moto G75 scores, which in turn are similar to other 6 Gen 1/7s Gen 2 phones. OpenCL score is also higher but not by that much. They both have the same screen resolution so I don't know if the A36 has some special edition or semi custom version with more GPU cores.
