Samsung Galaxy A36: the future mid-range is already revealing its secrets on Geekbench
The Samsung Galaxy A36 was first spotted on Geekbench under the model number SM-A366B, offering a glimpse of what the South Korean giant is up to. Tests reveal performance scores of 1060 points in single-core and 3070 points in multi-core, suggesting similar capabilities to the Galaxy A35equipped with the Exynos 1380 processor and one of the best value for money of 2024.
Goodbye Exynos?
The Galaxy A36 is further said to feature an eight-core processor split into four high-performance cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and four more power-efficient cores at 1.8 GHz. Speculation revolves around two options: the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, both engraved in 4nm. Thanks to this more advanced manufacturing process than the 5nm of the Galaxy A35, the new model could benefit from better energy efficiency and, therefore, improved autonomy. The choice to abandon the Exynos in favor of a Qualcomm chip is made even more credible by the site Sam Mobile which reveals the presence of an Adreno 710 for the GPU part.
If the Galaxy A36 is shown here in a 6 GB RAM version, nothing indicates that it could not be available in a variant with more generous RAM. This option would provide better application management and a smoother experience for users with multitasking needs. Storage has not yet been specified, but it is likely that Samsung will continue to offer at least 128 GB, with possible expansion via microSD.
More generous software monitoring
According to the Geekbench database, the terminal would run Android 15 with the One UI 7.0 overlay, probably preinstalled. Android 15, recently launched by Googlebrings several improvements in security, performance and customization. Although it is currently unknown whether Samsung will integrate some of its Galaxy AI functions into its affordable devices, the manufacturer is now committed to offering six years of updates, as on the Galaxy A16 recently announced, guaranteeing software support up to Android 21. A promise that represents a major asset for users concerned about the longevity of their smartphone.
