Samsung is gearing up for the launch of its next M-series phone the Samsung Galaxy M36 5G and it’s officially dropping on June 27 in India. The M-series has always been about delivering solid performance without breaking the bank, and the M36 looks like it’s going to push that even further.
AI Features in a Budget Phone? Yes, Please.
This time around, Samsung is doing something interesting. The Samsung Galaxy M36 5G is bringing over Circle to Search, a neat AI feature that was once only available on premium models. It lets you circle anything on your screen to search it instantly — no app switching, no screenshots. Pretty slick for a mid-range phone.
What About Specs?
Samsung hasn’t published the full spec sheet yet, but the leaks are painting a promising picture. Here’s what we’re expecting:
- 6.6-inch AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate
- A Dimensity 7200 or Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip
- 50MP triple camera, with improved low-light performance
- 5000mAh battery with 25W fast charging
- 8GB RAM, 128GB storage (expandable)
- Android 14 withOne UI 6.1.1, and likely One UI 8 in the future
If these details hold true, the Samsung Galaxy M36 5G could end up being a really well-balanced device for its price point.
Smart Move for Samsung?
With phones like the iQOO Z9, Realme Narzo 70, and Redmi Note 13 hovering in the same price range, Samsung is clearly trying to compete hard. The M36 5G is rumored to cost around ₹17,000 to ₹19,000 in India, which puts it right in that sweet spot for value buyers.
The phone will likely be available on Amazon, just like other M-series models, and we may even see some launch-day discounts or offers.
Should You Wait?
If you’re looking for a new phone and don’t want to splurge on a flagship, it might be worth waiting for this one. The Galaxy M36 5G seems to offer just enough smart features and performance without going overboard. With the AI upgrades, fast screen, and big battery, it could be a reliable daily driver for students, professionals, or anyone who just wants good value.
