Samsung is one Put throne. Or at least the company works in this way. Its latest budget phone- Galaxy A26 and Galaxy A36- Check all boxes. But nothing and next to the beautifully designed handset from Motorola, it seems that Samsung is on the shore on the brand name and on the fact that you may probably pick up one of these devices from a carrier in minutes.
And many people will do the same, thanks to various carrier promotions, who will tease a “free” A36 or A26 if you sign up for a specific cell plan (hints: they are never independent). So, if you plan to buy one of these, then which one should you get? $ 400 Galaxy A36 Or $ 300 galaxy A26I spent more than a week with both as my main phone, and the first thing is that I have easily made the best Galaxy A-Series phone in Samsung YearThis is not a high bar, though.
Easy
The piano-black color of these phones seems dated, not to mention that it easily attracts smoke and dust. Samsung calls it a terrible black for A36, but if anything it is more than a middle gray. If you can, choose lavender, although A26 only comes in a dark shade of black. Watch the competition – Motorola’s amazing bright blue Moto G Styles And its vegetarian leather texture, or unique styling of the nothing phone (3A) series, all $ 400 – and you will feel the robbing. The phone is individual and they must have character; These galaxies are devoid of this.
They are quite large phones with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a 120-martz refresh rate. I had no problem in using them during sunny days because the screen becomes good and bright, although colors are washed when it crank things. A36 becomes slightly bright, and the colors do not look faded in sunny conditions. The screen is interrupted with a tear-style selfie camera on A26, while you get a more modern floating camera on A36.
On hardware, the A26 still retains the microSD slot, so you can expand the previous storage of the internal 128 GB. You have no such luxury on A36, which looks strange given its high price. A36 Does An in-display fingerprint sensor vs. capacitive sensor on the power button of A26, although I found it slow and not so reliable.
Here is Conundrum: I had a better overall experience than the Galaxy A36 on the Galaxy A26. This is shocking given the difference of $ 100 between the two – Should be better, isn’t it? It was most clear with performance.
