## [Review] Galaxy A36

​

**📷 Camera & Video

* **Stock Camera:** Great natural light roll-off, but it locks you out of native RAW (.DNG) capture.

* **GCam:** Unlocks true 16-bit RAW. Paired with a macro lens, this sensor resolves insane micro-details (like human iris crypts and soap bubble iridescence).

* **Pro Video:** Using `mcpro24fps`, you can record 100+ Mbps 4K Log video (mS-Log2). *Warning:* Never use the stock Gallery video editor on these files; it aggressively crushes the bitrate down to ~30 Mbps!

**🎨 UI, Customization & AI**

* **One UI Tweaks:** The interface is incredibly smooth and highly customizable. You can easily tailor the OS to fit a power-user workflow, overriding default apps that limit hardware performance.

* **AI & Hands-Free Bixby:** The built-in AI features are genuinely practical for daily productivity. The A36 fully supports Bixby Voice wake-up, allowing you to go completely hands-free. Just by saying "Hi, Bixby," you can set alarms, make phone calls, and set daily reminders without ever touching the device.

**🎵 Audio Quality**

* The device delivers a crisp, immersive listening experience. It relies on standard Dolby Audio processing that handles high-fidelity music and media tracks beautifully, giving your media a punchy, clean soundstage without artificial spatial distortion.

**🔋 Battery Life**

* The battery backup is slightly on the lower side—especially when shooting heavy 4K Log video or gaming—but it is still more than enough to comfortably get you through a full day of use.

---

### ⚡ Quick Pros & Cons

**Pros:**

* 16-bit RAW capable (via GCam) and 100+ Mbps 4K video capable.

* Deep OS customization with practical AI tools and hands-free Bixby support.

* Great sound quality with standard Dolby Audio.

* Solid thermal management under heavy loads.

**Cons:**

* No native RAW toggle in the stock camera app.

* Stock gallery video editor ruins high-bitrate footage.

* Battery life is just "enough" rather than exceptional.

* heating issue sometimes

**Verdict:** A smooth, highly customizable daily driver that punches way above its weight class, transforming into a legitimate pocket cinema camera if you use the right third-party software pipeline.

Samsung log in a36

I used mcpro camera app to shoot video, I discovered it has various log support including apple log and you can go upto 100mbps with vast colour gamut support. I recommend to try once

Issues with One UI 8.6

Hi, I need some help. Before the One UI 8.5 update, my A36 ran very smoothly; games and apps were fast. After the update, the phone lags a lot and overheats, games no longer run on high graphics settings, and apps are sluggish. I don't know how to get rid of the lag and get it back to how it was before.

Cpu Usage

Is there anyway to use more of the power that we have ? It seems like samsung is limiting the phone to under 60% i cant push it further and it's lagging constantly now. Even on benchmarks it doesn't push the phone to its full potential, feels like samsung gave the A36 a good processor and then realized the phone should have worse performance .
