Samsung's budget phone is now cheaper with no trade-in required.
Reading time: 2 minutes
Samsung has launched the first no-trade-in discount for the budget Galaxy A36 phone in the USA. Same as last week, you can save up to $150 on the A36 by trading in another phone, but today, you can also buy the Galaxy A36 for a lower price by simply adding it to your shopping chart.
The Galaxy A36 went on sale in the USA less than a month ago for $399. Now, if you pick the no-trade-in option at the Samsung e-shop, you get an instant $50 discount. You can buy the Galaxy A36 today for $349.
Samsung also offers bundle deals for the Galaxy A36, but it looks like they're not as advantageous as they were last week. Bundle discounts for the Galaxy Buds FE and Watch FE are now at 15% off.
In the USA, you can buy the Galaxy A36 with 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM. It's the only memory option available as of this writing. Keep in mind that roughly 107GB out of 128GB of storage are usable. It should be enough for most people, considering that the Galaxy A36 can't record 8K videos.
The Galaxy A36 features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED 120Hz display, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, 50MP primary, 8MP ultrawide, 5MP macro and 12MP selfie cameras, and a 5,000mAh battery with 45W super-fast charging. The phone runs One U 7 with Awesome Intelligence out of the box and will receive six major Android OS upgrades.
