Samsung fans, it’s time to mark your calendars—well, almost. The much-anticipated Galaxy M36 has been officially teased in India via Amazon.
The teaser doesn’t reveal the exact launch date but does give us a juicy preview, hinting at a revamped design and AI-powered features.
Here’s a complete breakdown of everything we know so far about the upcoming M-series device.
Teaser
The teaser released on Amazon calls the Galaxy M36 a “Monster AIcon”, highlighting its AI-first focus. That’s a clever mix of “icon” and “AI,” and it suggests Samsung’s pushing hard into artificial intelligence with this model.
Think smarter photography, better battery management, and performance enhancements—all thanks to AI.
The image also confirms a triple rear camera setup, arranged vertically but with a slightly different style compared to the Galaxy M35. Samsung seems to be refreshing the design without straying too far from its popular M-series DNA.
Performance
According to its Geekbench listing, the Galaxy M36 will pack the Exynos 1380 chipset—the same one that powered last year’s Galaxy M35.
While it’s not a groundbreaking upgrade, it’s still a reliable mid-range processor. Coupled with 6GB RAM and Android 15 with One UI 7, performance should be smooth, especially with the new AI tweaks.
Let’s take a look at the benchmark scores:
| Benchmark Test | Score |
|---|---|
| Single-Core | 1004 points |
| Multi-Core | 2886 points |
These numbers suggest solid performance for everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking.
Design
Samsung hasn’t revealed the full design yet, but we do know the camera layout is getting a minor facelift. Expect a clean, minimalist look with flat edges, and likely a glossy or matte finish, depending on the color variant. It should follow Samsung’s trend of durable yet stylish builds.
Chances are, we’ll also see a Super AMOLED FHD+ display with Gorilla Glass Victus+ for protection, much like its predecessor.
Camera
Camera-wise, the Galaxy M36 could borrow heavily from the M35’s setup. That means a 50MP primary sensor, along with supporting cameras for ultra-wide and depth or macro shots.
On the front, you’ll probably get a 13MP selfie camera—though AI could enhance face detection, low-light selfies, and skin tones this time around.
Battery
Battery life is one of the strongest points of the M-series. The Galaxy M36 is expected to carry the same massive 6,000mAh battery as the M35, which easily gets you through two days of regular use. With AI-based battery optimization, you might squeeze out even more.
Pricing
Let’s talk money. The Galaxy M36 is expected to launch with a price tag under ₹20,000, making it an ideal option in the mid-range market. That keeps it competitive against phones from Xiaomi, Realme, and Motorola.
Here’s how it could compare to its predecessor:
| Model | Starting Price | Battery | Processor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy M35 | ₹19,999 | 6,000mAh | Exynos 1380 |
| Galaxy M36 | Under ₹20,000 | 6,000mAh | Exynos 1380 |
The difference? Likely smarter software and AI enhancements.
If you’re in the market for a phone that delivers value, performance, and battery without breaking the bank, the Galaxy M36 might be worth the wait.
