The Samsung Galaxy A35 is a good phone, but it’s far from perfect. With this in mind, here’s my wishlist for the Samsung Galaxy A36.
The Samsung Galaxy A35 was just released back in April, so it still has plenty of life ahead of it. I was already pretty impressed by the latest iteration, and there are just a few small changes that would turn this good budget phone an amazing one. With that said, here’s my wishlist for the Galaxy A36 when it inevitably arrives next year.The Galaxy A36 should add wireless charging
You can only expect so much from a truly budget phone, but the Galaxy A35 retails for around $400, positioning it as more of a mid-ranger. Let’s be real here; there are a lot of other cheap phones around this price range that already offer wireless charging, such as the Moto G Power and the Google Pixel 7a. To be fair, there are also numerous models that still don’t offer wireless charging, but I think the Galaxy A36 should finally add it. After all, this would only better help the phone stand out amid a sea of competitors.Galaxy AI should make its way to the Galaxy A36
The Samsung Galaxy A35 doesn’t offer any Galaxy AI features, and that’s a shame. While AI features are mostly being pushed on the high end right now, there’s little reason it has to be that way. Sure, the Exynos 1380 on board isn’t exactly a powerhouse, so it’s likely not best suited for many on-device tasks, but Samsung could offload as much of the processing to the cloud as possible. In other words, it’s not the hardware that’s necessarily holding Samsung back, and the lack of availability feels more like an intentional choice than a hardware limitation.
AI features are still exciting and new, so keeping this desirable stuff behind the flagship wall makes business sense, I suppose. Then again, opening up just a few of these features would immediately help the Galaxy A36 stand out from other mid-rangers.
