User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

People here are arguing over pointless stuff. And some over stuff that doesn't even matter to like 99.99% of smartphone buyers.

Yes, the SD 6 Gen 3 or SD 7s Gen 2 of the A36 will indeed be equal to the Exynos 1380 in normal usage. You will see no difference whatsoever in day-to-day usage, gaming, even power draw (though the energy efficiency of the SD 6 Gen 3 is still an unknown). However, the X62/X63 modem on the Snapdragons should do immensely better than the Exynos 1380's modem on signal reception strengths in some rural areas, remote areas, and urban black spots (though there will be no noticeable difference in an urban area with good coverage).

No, the Exynos SOCs do not support a lot of codecs and drivers. However, you think 99.99% of smartphone customers give a damn about that stuff or even have any knowledge of it? No. They just want the decent day-to-day performance, decent battery life, and decent signal reception; and as long as bluetooth devices connect and work as they need them to, they won't care about what codecs are supported. The codecs and drivers issue is such a niche thing. Yes, I can understand that it matters to some tech enthusiasts, and you guys can look for other devices that do satisfy that itch. You're tech enthusiasts who will do your research, wait, watch, and search.

The large chunk of prospective buyers of this device will care more about the missing 3.5mm jack, how good the speakers are, shared instead of dedicated memory card slot, whether it has esim support, the level of software security, whether the display has a good PWM frequency (at least PWM sensitive people such as myself) and how bright it gets outdoors, how good or crap the cameras are, how hot it runs, how accurate is the navigation, the lack of a physical proximity sensor, whether this device still has UFS 2.1/2.2 or if it is being upgraded to 3.1, etc.

      Is it that difficult to include 3.5 mm jack?
      Just to help sell more bluetooth headphones for the industry.

                Anonymous, 17 Nov 2024I have a realme 6 and was planning to buy the successor of ... morebro, I have a better suggestion, seeing as the price of Samsung A36 and A55 is almost the same, even if you are lucky, you will get Used Samsung A55 at a cheaper price and 10% better specs than the A36

                      For the clowns that think that the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 of A36 will be much better than the Exynos 1380 of the A35 here you go:

                          Slightly better screen-to-body ratio vs. A35, though. Design-wise, A series is looking better and better. Sadly, hardware sees the least upgrades from one generation to another. But, alas, if priced below $ 300, this could be a decent terminal if you're upgrading from an older A32 / A33.

                            PatrickCzech, 16 Nov 2024A56 will pack Exynos 1580. I mean the midrange Exynos chips... morethey are alright but i'd really rather a snap 7 elite or something, next gen stuff.

                              I have a realme 6 and was planning to buy the successor of A35. Now that I've seen the design, I'd rather skip this dated phone.

                                Smart things, 16 Nov 2024Lol, iPhones camera styles again 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭More like Realme 6 from 2020... When I saw the picture, first I thought is realme 6...

                                      i was thinking what a nice phone, might get this, and then ..... NO HEADPHONE JACK

                                        ThatOneWeabo, 16 Nov 2024hoping the a56 has snapdragon too.A56 will pack Exynos 1580. I mean the midrange Exynos chips are not bad. And even the Exynos 2100 was better than Snapdragon 888 and the Exynos 2400 is OK. The only trash Exynos is 2200 from S22 and 980 from S20.
