Samsung is gearing up to launch a new midrange smartphone, the Galaxy A36, and it’s already turning heads.

With advanced hardware and fast-charging technology that even outshines the Galaxy S25 in some areas, the Galaxy A36 could become a top choice for budget-conscious buyers.

Fast Charging on Another Level

Leaked details reveal that the Galaxy A36 will feature 45-watt fast charging, a feature currently reserved for the high-end Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Surprisingly, this tech is missing from the base Galaxy S25 model, making the A36 stand out in Samsung’s lineup.

According to TÜV Rheinland, this fast-charging feature will also likely appear in the more expensive Galaxy A56. The ability to charge quickly will appeal especially to users who are always on the move, reports Giga.

The Galaxy A36 won’t just charge faster — it’s getting a performance boost too.

A more powerful processor promises smoother performance, whether you’re gaming or multitasking.

The camera is also receiving upgrades, especially for selfies, making this phone a solid pick for social media fans.

Competition From Chinese Brands

While the Galaxy A36 raises the bar for midrange phones, it still falls short of competitors like Xiaomi, which offers 120-watt charging in its midrange models.

Despite the A36’s improvements, it’s not the absolute fastest in its class.

The Galaxy A36 is expected to launch in the coming months, with a competitive price that makes it an exciting option for those looking to save without compromising on features.

However, it’s worth noting that a separate charger may be required to take full advantage of its fast-charging capabilities.
