Why buy the Galaxy F36
- AMOLED at a budget price. The Full HD+ Super AMOLED panel shows deep blacks and strong colours, and 120Hz keeps scrolling smooth. Many phones at this price still use LCD.
- Steady photos. OIS on the 50MP main camera is rare under KSh 30,000 and helps with indoor and evening shots.
- 4K on both cameras. The rear and the 13MP selfie camera can both record 4K, which is useful for content creators on a budget.
- Six Android upgrades. Starting from Android 15, it should be supported until around 2031.
- NFC built in. You can use it for tap-to-pay where it is accepted and for quick pairing with accessories.
Pros and cons

| 50MP main camera with OIS | No official dust or water rating |
| 6 years of Android upgrades | microSD card replaces the second SIM |
| Faux-leather back looks less plain than glossy plastic | Exynos 1380 is a 2023 chip, fine for daily use but not for heavy gaming |
| NFC and 5G | Only 128GB storage at Avechi |
Galaxy F36 vs Galaxy F70 Pro
| Galaxy F36 5G (2025) | Galaxy F70 Pro 5G (2026) | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Exynos 1380 | Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 |
| Display | 6.7″ Super AMOLED, 120Hz | 6.7″ Super AMOLED, 120Hz |
| Rear cameras | 50MP OIS + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP | 50MP OIS + 5MP ultra-wide + 2MP |
| Selfie camera | 13MP | 12MP |
| Battery / charging | 5,000mAh, 25W | 6,000mAh, 45W |
| Android upgrades | Up to 6 | Up to 6 |
| Avechi price (6GB/128GB) | KSh 28,999 | KSh 34,199 |
Verdict: The F70 Pro’s main gains are a 1,000mAh bigger battery and charging that is almost twice as fast, plus a newer chip. The F36 keeps a better ultra-wide camera and saves you KSh 7,200. If you charge overnight and do not game much, the F36 is the better value. If battery life is your top concern, the extra spend on the F70 Pro is justified.
