Reasons to pick the Galaxy A36
- Fast charging at last. 45W charging fills about two-thirds of the battery in half an hour, so a short charge before leaving the office covers the evening.
- A smooth Snapdragon chip. The Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 keeps One UI fluid and handles popular games at sensible settings.
- Bright screen for outdoor use. The 120Hz AMOLED peaks at 1,900 nits, which helps when reading maps or messages under the midday sun.
- 4K selfies. The 12MP front camera records 4K, useful for video calls and content creators.
- Built to last. IP67, glass on both sides and six years of Android upgrades make it a phone you can keep for a long time.

|---|---|---|
| Processor | Exynos 1380 | Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 |
| Charging | 25W | 45W |
| Fingerprint | Side-mounted | In-display |

| Avechi price (8GB/256GB) | KSh 34,999 | KSh 37,999 |
Verdict: Both are tough, long-supported phones. The A36 earns its KSh 3,000 premium with a faster chip, much quicker charging and a slightly lighter body. Choose the A26 if you need a memory card slot or want to spend under KSh 30,000.

- Motorola Edge 60 Fusion (from KSh 34,999): sharper pOLED screen, IP68/IP69 and 68W charging.
- Infinix Note Edge 5G (KSh 35,199): 8GB/256GB 5G for under KSh 36,000.
