Samsung Galaxy A36 runs Geekbench with a surprising Android version – GSMArena.com news – GSMArena.com

The Samsung Galaxy A36 has made its first appearance online, not with an official announcement but via a Geekbench listing. The phone seems to run a Snapdragon processor, although there are currently conflicting rumors on the chipset in question. It’s also interesting that it runs Android 13 – surprising considering the A34 is on Android 13 as well, meaning it could be quite some time before we see the new A series phone with Android 14. It’s possible this is a pre-release build, though.

The Geekbench listing reveals the A36 with a codename SM-A366B. It seems to have a processor identified as ‘Qualcomm SM7425’, which is most likely a Snapdragon 782G. The phone also appears to have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

The Samsung Galaxy A36 achieved a single-core score of 850 and a multi-core score of 3,040 in Geekbench 5. While this result doesn’t exactly put the phone among the top-tier performers, it suggests that the device is well-equipped for day-to-day tasks and moderate gaming.

Rumors suggest the Samsung Galaxy A36 might have a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a 5,000mAh battery, and a 50MP primary camera. The phone is also rumored to feature a 120Hz screen and possibly a more advanced processor such as a Snapdragon 782G.

Based on the Geekbench results, the Samsung Galaxy A36 seems like a promising mid-range offering. Its inclusion of a newer processor and a large display could be a good recipe for an attractive offering in this segment. However, it’s crucial to remember that the leaked information is speculative, and we await Samsung’s official announcement for confirmed specifications.

For now, stay tuned for further developments surrounding the Samsung Galaxy A36 as it continues to pique our interest.
