Highlights & Review Of Samsung Galaxy A36

Display Review:

The Samsung Galaxy A36 uses a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED panel at 1080 x 2340 pixels with a 120Hz refresh rate, backed by 1200 nits HBM and 1900 nits peak brightness under Gorilla Glass Victus+. At PKR 105,000, it’s the smallest screen in this group, and it’s also the only one capped at 120Hz while two rivals push higher.

The Infinix Note 60 Pro (PKR 110,000) counters with a larger 6.78-inch AMOLED at 1208 x 2644 pixels and a 144Hz refresh rate, plus a claimed 4500 nits peak brightness, well above the Samsung Galaxy A36’s 1900 nits, though real-world outdoor visibility rarely scales linearly with peak nits claims this high.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro (PKR 108,000) goes bigger still with a 6.83-inch AMOLED at a sharper 1280 x 2772 pixels, adding HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support that neither the A36 nor the Note 60 Pro offers, alongside a strong 3200 nits peak brightness.

The Nothing Phone (2a) (PKR 111,000) is the closest match to the Samsung Galaxy A36 in size at 6.7 inches and 1080 x 2412 pixels, but its 1300 nits peak brightness trails all three others, making it the weakest performer here for sunlight readability despite being the priciest option.

Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy A36 has the sharpest, most balanced AMOLED for everyday use, but the Redmi Note 15 Pro offers a genuinely bigger, HDR-capable screen for less money, making it the stronger pick for buyers who prioritize display specs over brand.

Processor Review:

The Samsung Galaxy A36 runs on a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, scoring 613,492 points on AnTuTu v10, the lowest of this group. At PKR 105,000, that’s a real gap against three rivals priced only slightly higher.

The Infinix Note 60 Pro (PKR 110,000) uses a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, which averages around 759,560 points on AnTuTu v10 in chipset-level testing, roughly 24% higher than the Samsung Galaxy A36’s score. It also pairs with a 144Hz display and a vapor chamber, so the extra headroom should translate into smoother sustained gaming.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro (PKR 108,000) runs a Dimensity 7400 Ultra, scoring 693,873 on AnTuTu v10, still well ahead of the Samsung Galaxy A36 and priced lower than the Note 60 Pro. This chipset trades peak power for efficiency, so multitasking should feel smooth even if it’s not the outright fastest silicon here.

The Nothing Phone (2a) (PKR 111,000) uses a Dimensity 7200 Pro, a co-engineered MediaTek chip that recorded 738,164 points in its original AnTuTu v10 listing. That places it just behind the Note 60 Pro and ahead of the Redmi, though it’s worth noting this phone launched earliest among the four and its chipset is now the oldest design in the comparison.

All four scores come from AnTuTu v10, so the comparison is apples-to-apples on version, though the Infinix figure reflects a chipset average rather than a device-specific run and may shift slightly at retail.

Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy A36 is the weakest performer of the four on raw benchmark numbers. Buyers who prioritize performance and gaming headroom over brand name should look at the Infinix Note 60 Pro instead.

Ram & Memory Review:

The Samsung Galaxy A36 (PKR 105,000) comes with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM paired with 256GB UFS 2.2 storage, and there’s no microSD slot, so buyers are locked into whatever storage tier they purchase.

The Infinix Note 60 Pro (PKR 110,000) matches the Samsung Galaxy A36’s 256GB UFS 2.2 storage but uses 8GB LPDDR5 RAM instead of LPDDR4X, meaning faster memory bandwidth for app switching and background task handling, even though the raw capacity is identical.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro (Helio G200 Ultra variant, PKR 108,000) pulls ahead on both fronts with 12GB RAM and 512GB UFS 2.2 storage, double the Samsung Galaxy A36’s storage at a lower price, and it’s the only phone in this group with a microSDXC slot for further expansion, though that slot shares space with the SIM tray.

The Nothing Phone (2a) (PKR 111,000) also offers 12GB RAM, but on the same LPDDR4X standard as the A36, with 256GB UFS 2.2 storage and no expansion.

In practical terms, the A36 is the only phone here still capped at 8GB RAM alongside the pricier Note 60 Pro, while both the Redmi Note 15 Pro and Nothing Phone (2a) offer 12GB, a meaningful difference for users who keep many apps running simultaneously or game while multitasking. The Redmi Note 15 Pro stands out further by combining the highest RAM tier with the most storage and the only card slot in the group.

Verdict: For raw memory and storage headroom, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro is the clear winner at a lower price than the A36. Buyers who need heavy multitasking capacity or expandable storage should look past the Galaxy A36 toward the Redmi Note 15 Pro.

Cameras Review:

The Samsung Galaxy A36 (PKR 105,000) has a 50MP main camera at f/1.8 with OIS, an 8MP f/2.2 123° ultrawide, and a 5MP macro lens, though Samsung hasn’t disclosed the main sensor brand.

The Infinix Note 60 Pro (PKR 110,000) drops the macro lens for a simpler dual setup, 50MP f/1.6 with OIS plus an 8MP f/2.2 112° ultrawide, and like the A36, the sensor brand isn’t confirmed.

The Redmi Note 15 Pro (Helio G200 Ultra, PKR 108,000) jumps to a 200MP f/1.7 main sensor with OIS, reportedly a Samsung HP3 unit, paired with an 8MP f/2.2 120° ultrawide, giving it a clear resolution and cropping advantage over the other three on paper.

The Nothing Phone (2a) (PKR 111,000) is the only phone here with fully verified hardware: a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN9 main sensor with OIS and a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 ultrawide, though the ultrawide lacks autofocus.

Video tells a different story. The A36, Note 60 Pro, and Nothing Phone (2a) all record rear video at 4K@30fps, with the Note 60 Pro adding 1080p up to 120fps for slow motion. The Redmi Note 15 Pro is capped at 1080p@30/60fps on the rear camera despite its 200MP sensor, a real limitation for anyone shooting video. Front cameras range from the A36’s 12MP and Infinix’s 13MP up to the Redmi’s 32MP and Nothing’s 32MP, with the A36 alone offering 4K selfie video.

Verdict: The Redmi Note 15 Pro wins on stills resolution, but its lack of 4K rear video is a genuine trade-off. For buyers who value verified, name-brand sensors and balanced photo-video performance, the Nothing Phone (2a) is the safer all-around pick over the Galaxy A36.

Battery Review:

The Samsung Galaxy A36 (PKR 105,000) runs a 5000mAh battery with 45W wired charging, reaching 66% in 30 minutes and 100% in 68 minutes, with no wireless or reverse charging. The Infinix Note 60 Pro (PKR 110,000) is a significant step up on paper, packing a 6500mAh battery with 90W wired charging that hits 50% in 16 minutes and 100% in 41 minutes, nearly 27 minutes faster than the A36 despite carrying 1500mAh more capacity. It also adds 30W wireless charging, plus 7.5W reverse wired and 5W reverse wireless charging, features the A36 lacks entirely.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro (Helio G200 Ultra, PKR 108,000) matches the Note 60 Pro’s 6500mAh capacity but charges at the A36’s slower 45W wired speed, meaning a bigger battery without a faster top-up. It does offer 18W reverse wired charging for topping up other devices, something the A36 can’t do.

The Nothing Phone (2a) (PKR 111,000) sticks with a 5000mAh battery and 45W wired charging, reaching 50% in 23 minutes and 100% in 59 minutes, slightly quicker than the A36 despite an identical capacity and wattage rating, and it also lacks wireless or reverse charging.

In practical terms, the A36 has the smallest battery, the slowest charging speed, and the fewest charging features of the four, making it the weakest performer in this bracket for anyone who charges on the go or wants wireless convenience.

 

Verdict: The Infinix Note 60 Pro is the clear battery winner here, combining the largest capacity, the fastest charging, and the only wireless and reverse charging support. Buyers who prioritize battery performance should look at the Note 60 Pro over the Galaxy A36.

Final Verdict :

At PKR 105,000, the Samsung Galaxy A36 (8+256GB) is the cheapest of this group, but it’s also the most compromised on paper. Its 5000mAh battery and 45W charging trail every rival here, especially the Infinix Note 60 Pro (PKR 110,000), which packs a 6500mAh cell with 90W wired and 30W wireless charging, going from empty to full in a fraction of the A36’s 68-minute charge time.

On memory, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G (PKR 108,000) beats both with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage plus microSDXC expansion, something neither the A36 nor the Note 60 Pro offers. Camera-wise, the A36’s triple setup with a confirmed Sony IMX882 50MP OIS sensor is more reliable than the Redmi’s 200MP main sensor, which is undisclosed and is capped at 1080p video with no 4K option at all.

The Nothing Phone (2a) (PKR 111,000) is the priciest option here and runs on a 2024-era Dimensity 7200 Pro, making it the oldest chipset in this lineup despite the highest price tag.

The A36 holds its ground through Samsung’s six-year update promise and IP67 rating, but on raw specs per rupee, it’s outclassed by the Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G and the Note 60 Pro in this bracket.

Bottom line: the Samsung Galaxy A36 is the safer, longer-supported buy, but the Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G offers noticeably more hardware for less money, and the Infinix Note 60 Pro wins outright on battery and charging.

Ranking (best value first):

  1. Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 4G (12+512GB, PKR 108,000) — most RAM, most storage, microSD support, biggest camera sensor on paper, all below the A36’s rivals in price.
  2. Infinix Note 60 Pro (8+256GB, PKR 110,000) — best display (144Hz, 1208×2644, 4500 nits peak), best battery and charging (6500mAh, 90W+30W wireless), but IP64 only and just 3 years of OS updates.
  3. Samsung Galaxy A36 (8+256GB, PKR 105,000) — cheapest, most trustworthy camera hardware (confirmed Sony sensor) and update policy, but smallest battery, slowest charging, no microSD.
  4. Nothing Phone (2a) (12+256GB, PKR 111,000) — highest price in the group for the oldest (2024) chipset, weakest position on pure specs despite the 12GB RAM.
