We didn't choose one of Samsung's flagships, our modest applications don't require all those bells and whistles. Still, the device works quite smoothly, transferring data from a 2018 Samsung to this A36 went smoothly. Possibly the most important reason for our choice for this A36 is the large storage capacity of 256GB.
