Samsung Galaxy F36 5G launched in India
The Galaxy F36 5G measures 164.4 x 77.9 x 7.7 mm and weighs 197 grams. This package includes a 5,000 mAh battery (25W charging) and a 6.7-inch Full HD+ 120Hz Super AMOLED display. There appears to be no information on ingress protection, but we assume the same IP67 rating as the Galaxy A36. We do know that Gorilla Glass Victus+ protects the front of the phone.
The F36 5G features a side-mounted fingerprint reader, a hybrid dual Nano-SIM card slot, and a microSD slot. The phone is based on the Samsung Exynos 1380 chipset (2.4GHz Quad A78 + 2GHz Quad A55 CPUs + Mali-G68 MP5 GPU) alongside 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of thankfully expandable internal storage. The phone features SA/NSA Sub-6 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi AC, Bluetooth 5.3, and GPS plus GLONASS support. It ships with Android 15 and One UI 7 out of the box, along with numerous AI features.
The camera setup consists of a 50MP, f/1.8, OIS-enabled main camera with 4K video capture capabilities, accompanied by an 8MP, f/2.2 ultrawide camera and a third 2MP, f/2.4 macro camera. There is a 13MP selfie cam on the front with an f/2.2 aperture and 4K video capture as well.
The Samsung Galaxy F36 5G is available on Samsung's India online store and Flipkart in Coral Red, Luxe Violet and Onyx Black faux leather colors, starting at INR 17,499 for the 6GB/128GB model and going up to INR 18,999 for the 8GB/128GB one. However, there are some launch offers, such as an instant discount of INR 1,000 on all bank cards and a coupon discount of INR 500, effectively lowering the starting price to INR 15,999.

Deals: Samsung Galaxy Z foldables now available, S25 Ultra and S25 Edge discounted
The wait is over, Samsung's next generation of foldables is now available. That means the end of the pre-order perks, but you can still get some extras. Right now, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are available with $200 Amazon Gift Cards (no more free storage upgrade, though). We have a detailed review if you want to do a deep dive before committing. If you decide to get one, you may want to also grab a case to protect your shiny new foldable. The Z Fold7 case no longer holds an S Pen (remember: support was removed), but it does have a grip. It's available in transparent and gray. The Z Flip7 cases offer a stylish leather option (Kindsuit) or a more playful look (Flip Suit). Of course, this year Samsung offers the more affordable Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, which starts at $200 less than the premium Z Flip7, though this is with less memory. Also note that the Amazon Gift Card is only $100, which closes the gap between the two models even further. It has exactly zero discount at the moment, but the Motorola Razr 2025 is still $260 cheaper than the FE (if we look at the 256GB models). The chipset has noticeably less performance, but Motorola was ahead of the curve on cover screen size (3.6' vs. 3.4') and battery capacity (4,500mAh vs. 4,000mAh), so the vanilla Razr is worth a look if you are considering the Z Flip7 FE. Just maybe wait a week or two for discounts to come back. Motorola Razr 2025 Read our review 8/256GB - $700 at Amazon US By the way, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic also went on open sale this week. The vanilla model is the thinnest Galaxy Watch yet and comes in two sizes (40mm and 44mm) with and without 4G. The Watch8 Classic is still the only option for a rotating bezel – this one comes only in one size (46mm), but you do get a choice between 4G and Bluetooth. Note: the Watch8 is $50 off, but you need to grab the discount code. The Classic has a $100 Gift Card attached to it instead. Putting foldables and watches aside, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is still the best camera phone from Samsung this year and the only new phone with S Pen support. And it is currently running a solid discount. The slim and light Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is cheaper than the Ultra, but aside from physical dimensions, it doesn't compare favorably to it. Still, a display of this size is impossible to find on a phone this light anywhere else. For a cheaper option, the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE is back on sale. But wait – did you hear that the Samsung Galaxy A56 is finally available in the US after an inexplicably long delay? You can get a $50 discount with a coupon, which is the only thing keeping it in the game – even with that discount, the S24 FE may be the better value for money. The A56 also has the Motorola Edge (2025) to worry about. This phone has a good quality 6.7' 10-bit 1220p+ OLED display, an IP69 rating a 50+10+50MP camera with a 3x telephoto and a high-resolution ultra-wide and a 5,200mAh battery with both fast wired charging (68W) and wireless too (15W). Motorola Edge (2025) $110 off 8/256GB - $440 at Amazon US Finally, the Nothing Phone (3) still offers a free storage upgrade from 12/256GB to 16/512GB. Have you gotten used to its kooky look yet?

I've hated this phone design trend for years, and I'm happy it's gone
I'm now finally happy to report that one of the most annoying features of modern smartphones is finally done for in 2025. After a not-so-brief fad that spanned from high-end to entry-level devices, this is the year when curved-screen phones are now a distant memory and an exception rather than the rule. To me, there was nothing more annoying than a great flagship phone with a screen that curves towards the frame to the sides. I'll admit that the first iterations of this design fad that I experienced on the Galaxy S7 edge and the Galaxy S8 were quite intriguing and novel, successfully setting themselves apart from the rest of their rivals at the time. It was new and flashy and looked a bit futuristic. What do you mean we could suddenly make phones with curved displays that didn't have to be completely flat? As an added bonus, the arrival of curved screens coincided with the major paradigm shift in terms of interface navigation: gestures. Somehow, curved screens worked quite well with gesture-based navigation back in the day, allowing for really satisfying and precise back gestures, for example. However, over the next couple of years since the first curved-screen Samsung flagships, I used many more phones with such screens and quickly began to detest them for various, dare I say, objectively true reasons. The Galaxy S8 was exceptional and the curved design was intriguing back then, but it quickly overstayed its welcome in the coming years (Image by PhoneArena) No two ways about it - curved screens are terrible when it comes to ergonomics. The reason is glaringly obvious: less area on the side for a comfortable grip. In the most extreme cases I can recall, we had some very extreme curves that ended with barely a millimeter or two of usable area, which is barely enough for a secure hold. That's opposed to most modern phones, where the side frame you grip is as thick as the phone itself, giving significantly better contact with the user's palm even though sharper edges themselves are a whole other can of worms. Probably the most offensive aspect of a phone with a curved screen is just how much of the displayed content is lost to the curve itself. Even though a phone with such a screen was technically, say, 6.7 inches wide, the actual usable area was smaller due to the sides of the screen warping the photos, videos, or any other content you're viewing. Not cool at all. That was particularly bad if you watched a lot of video or gamed a lot on your phone, as the experience was much worse than a contemporary device with a more regular flat display. This was one of the biggest reasons why I grew to dislike phones with curved screens that much. But get this, it's not only that curved screens "ate" up usable screen real estate - the curves also gave us significant edge reflections and glare. The crests of the curves were always prone to pick up all the reflections from all nearby light sources. This only added insult to injury, as you not only had less usable screen real estate, the offending areas also blinded you and added to the inferior experience. Reflections galore (Image by PhoneArena) Accidental "ghost" touches In the earlier days of curved-screen phones, I used to accidentally trigger gestures and buttons all the time. Palm rejection wasn't great then, but even later devices often made it easy to unintentionally tap some interface element. That has never happened to me with a regular non-curved phone. Imagine how much more battery you could fit on a phone with a curved screen if it had flat edges instead. Well, probably not much, but as in all cases, every little bit helps. The unique shape of curved-screen phones means that the extreme parts of the phones were a liability rather than providing usable extra space for extra hardware. I'm a klutz, so if a phone I'm using doesn't come with a pre-applied screen protector, I usually try to get one just for the sake of protecting the screen from scratches and drops. With modern flat-screen phones, that's an easy ordeal, you can find a decent tempered glass or TPU screen protector for just about any modern phone out there. However, that's not the case with curved screens. Screen protectors were a pain to find and apply, and they typically left an unprotected area which got in the way of your finger tips and made the navigation experience that much worse. Have you cracked the screen of a phone with a curved display? I have, and the repair bill was not a particularly beautiful sight to behold. Call in anecdotal evidence, but I'm certain that curved screen replacements were always pricier than those of standard phones. And that's the problem, really: curved displays only added to the costs of ownership without actively contributing to the overall functionality of the phone itself. For me, that's the clearest case of form over function, and I',m so glad we've phased these out. I haven't had to use a curved-screen phone extensively for more than a year, and what a relief! Only dealing with flat-screen phones and not having to put up with all the negative reasons listed above has been nothing short of a mini revelation. I'm so glad we've outgrown the peculiar curves and universally adopted the modern all-flat design language, which honestly is the most sensible one around.
