Adaptive battery optimization and dark mode extend life on the Super AMOLED display.
Phone supports 25W fast charging and typically takes around 75–90 minutes for a full charge from 0–100%, with the first half of the battery filling much faster than the second.
50MP Rear with 13MP Selfie Camera
The Samsung Galaxy M36 5G features a triple rear camera with 50MP main (f/1.8, OIS, PDAF), 8MP ultrawide (123°), and 2MP macro. OIS ensures blur-free shots and shake-free videos, enhanced by Nightography for low-light performance.
The 50MP primary sensor captures sharp daylight images with good dynamic range and 10x digital zoom, while OIS excels in portraits and motion scenarios. The 8MP ultrawide handles landscapes effectively, though edges show distortion; the 2MP macro suits close-ups but lacks detail.
