Samsung is gearing up to launch its next M-series smartphone, the Galaxy M36, in India on June 27th at 12 PM. A successor to the Galaxy M35, which debuted in 2023 starting at ₹19,999, the M36 is packed with design changes, AI-powered tools, and confirmed camera upgrades.
Samsung has also dropped key information on its price range, colour variants, and unique feature support ahead of the official launch.
Launch
The Samsung Galaxy M36 is officially scheduled to launch in India on June 27th at 12 PM. A dedicated teaser microsite is already live on Amazon, where interested buyers can check out the specs and features ahead of the launch.
Design
The Galaxy M36 brings a fresh design compared to its predecessor. While the Galaxy M35 had three separate camera lenses aligned vertically, the M36 places two lenses at the top and a third below in a more structured housing.
The phone also measures a slim 7.7mm in thickness and comes with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on the front for added screen durability.
This makes it one of the more rugged options in the sub-₹20,000 price segment, even though the exact display specifications haven’t been revealed yet.
Colours
The Galaxy M36 will be available in three eye-catching shades:
- Velvet Black
- Serene Green
- Orange Haze
These finishes are designed to give the phone a more youthful and stylish look, appealing to Gen Z and young adults.
Camera
Samsung has confirmed the complete camera setup for the Galaxy M36:
- 50MP primary sensor with OIS
- 8MP ultra-wide lens
- 2MP macro camera
For selfies and video calls, there’s a 13MP front camera, which also supports 4K video recording. The ability to shoot 4K videos from both front and rear cameras is a standout feature at this price point.
Features
One of the most exciting features of the Galaxy M36 is the integration of Google’s Circle to Search. This AI-powered feature allows users to circle or tap on any object or text on the screen and instantly get search results powered by Google AI.
The phone is also expected to come with other AI features to enhance usability, though Samsung has yet to reveal the full list.
Performance
Although not officially confirmed, the Galaxy M36 was recently spotted on Geekbench, suggesting it could be powered by the Exynos 1380 chipset.
If true, this would be the same processor as the Galaxy M35, which means there might not be a major performance upgrade.
However, Samsung could be focusing more on AI features and camera improvements this time around.
Pricing
Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy M36 will be priced under ₹20,000 in India, aligning it with the launch price of the Galaxy M35.
This makes it a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone market, offering premium features like OIS, Circle to Search, and Gorilla Glass Victus at a budget price.
