A quick overview of the phone shows that it is similar to the Galaxy A26, except with vegan leather on the back instead of glass. The front is Gorilla Glass Victus+. The F36 is powered by the Exynos 1380 and has expandable storage. Also, Samsung is promising 6 years of OS updates and security patches (it comes with Android 15/One UI 7 out of the box).

The main camera has a larger 50MP sensor (at 1/1.96' it's not large, just larger than the 1/2.76' sensor of the A26). It's joined by an 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro modules on the back, plus a 13MP camera in a notch on the front. The battery situation should be familiar to owners of mid-range Samsungs – 5,000mAh capacity, 25W wired-only charging.
Galaxy F36 camera with 4K video support and Night Mode, plus AI editing features
Earlier this year, the F-series saw the introduction of the Galaxy F56 (Exynos 1480, 45W charging, but no microSD slot) as well as the more affordable Galaxy F16 and Galaxy F06.

Here's when the tri-fold Huawei Mate XTs is coming and how much it should cost
Vlad, 30 July 2025 A few days ago some more details leaked regarding Huawei's upcoming successor to the Mate XT, the original tri-fold smartphone, which launched last year. Now, a new source purports to bring us the exact launch date for the Mate XTs, which is apparently what the new device will be called. It will allegedly be presented on September 12, which is the same week that Apple will launch the iPhone 17 family, according to a recent rumor. Huawei Mate XT That's interesting timing to say the least. If true, perhaps Huawei wants to steal some of Apple's thunder, so to speak, which it may very well succeed in doing inside China, where it reigns supreme. The Mate XTs is rumored to cost around CNY 20,000, which at the current exchange rates means $2,786 or €2,422. For reference, note that the original Mate XT started at CNY 19,999, so its successor will be priced about the same. The Mate XTs will compete head-on in the Chinese market with Samsung's upcoming tri-fold smartphone, which is going to be announced later this year and has been rumored to only launch in Korea and China at first. It remains to be seen what that model's pricing will be. Huawei Mate XT Ultimate 1TB 16GB RAM $ 4,600.20 Source 1 (in Chinese) | Source 2 (in Chinese) | Via
