this is the Samsung Galaxy
0:11
A36 it is a mid-range Android smartphone
0:15
with a nicely balanced set of features
0:20
i'm going to walk you through the
0:21
cameras the camera app and then show you
0:25
some sample photos and videos that I
0:27
have taken with this smartphone starting
0:31
from the front we have a 12 MP selfie
0:34
camera in a punch hole yay thank god for
0:37
punch holes if we
0:41
flip at the back here is a 50 MP main
0:45
camera an 8 MP ultra wide camera and a 5
0:50
megapixel macro lens there is an LED
0:54
flash to go with it having tested this
0:58
camera I can tell you that look don't
1:01
bother with the 8 MP ultra wide and the
1:04
5
1:05
MP macro lens there's really no point to
1:08
these things i do not understand why
1:10
anybody still puts a 5
1:14
megapixel anything on except it's an
1:18
entry levelvel device yes you can put a
1:21
5 megapixel camera at the back and as a
1:24
selfie camera and usually that's the
1:26
only camera but in a mid-range setup
1:29
like
1:30
this anyway so let's see what the camera
1:34
app looks like
1:36
if you're used to Samsung phones this is
1:39
standard arrangement in Samsung camera
1:43
apps you have the regular photo mode
1:45
when you launch the app this is what you
1:47
see and you just tap and snap if you
1:49
want to take a
1:51
portrait you move there if you want to
1:55
use one of these fun features that
1:59
adds bunny ears and dog noses and all
2:03
that to your
2:06
face be my guest then we switch over to
2:10
video mode you can record in standard
2:13
mode
2:15
in.5 mode in times two zoom right it
2:19
zooms in etc and then you have the more
2:23
section this more section brings more
2:26
advanced functionality to you the
2:29
professional mode where you can set ISO
2:32
EV etc
2:39
etc your night mode is also there you
2:42
want to take pictures of food food mode
2:44
you want to take a panorama macro super
2:47
slow mode is good for effects slow
2:50
motion for effect hyperlapse if you're
2:52
taking night sky photos you want to
2:55
shoot the sky comets
2:58
etc single take it's a form of video
3:03
recording one thing I miss from this
3:05
more mode is document scanning i'm used
3:09
to enjoying that on some other models
3:12
from competitors that I have when you
3:14
need to scan either a certificate a
3:17
letter or
3:19
something perhaps there's some other
3:21
mode that takes care of that maybe here
3:23
in the photo mode that just might be it
3:26
going through the
3:28
settings you can scene optimizer okay
3:32
scan documents and text so yes that's
3:35
covered most likely in the regular mode
3:38
like I said this camera can scan QR
3:40
codes on and on and on it has video
3:44
stabilization for recording there's auto
3:49
HDR so this is standard Samsung camera
3:56
app you can set a
3:58
timer and all that you can change the
4:02
resolution from 12 standard 12 megapixel
4:06
mode to
4:08
50 in surfing mode the settings and the
4:11
features that you get are pretty much
4:14
the
4:15
same there's no difference none at
4:20
all the same
4:22
stuff so how do these cameras perform
4:25
the 12 megapixel selfie camera is good
4:28
it takes good selfies i have taken quite
4:30
a number of good selfies that I've shown
4:32
off and I'm going to show you right
4:34
after this session in low light and
4:38
night situations though it's not as good
4:42
as I would love for it to be maybe I'm
4:46
spoiled i have I have more expensive
4:50
smartphones with much better cameras but
4:53
then it doesn't make sense to compare it
4:54
with them if they are more expensive it
4:57
means that more resources went into
4:59
making those camera phones better so for
5:01
the price yes I think it's okay one
5:05
thing I I did notice is that for night
5:08
modes the camera tends to be successible
5:12
to colors if there's a if there's a blue
5:16
light close by it's enhanced if there is
5:20
a red light close by it's enhanced you
5:25
know you'll see it in the samples you'll
5:27
see what I mean in the samples how does
5:30
the rear camera hold up again it's great
5:33
where lighting is good really really
5:36
good where lighting is good in low light
5:38
there's that issue of colors you know
5:41
colored lights messing things up if
5:43
there's a colored light close by it
5:46
messes the scene up i wish it wasn't
5:49
there perhaps Samsung can fix that with
5:52
um a software
5:54
update but the cameras are impressive
5:57
both front and back they've held up very
5:58
well i am satisfied i can live with this
6:02
i'm really choosy about phone cameras if
6:04
I can live with the camera of the Galaxy
6:07
A36 cool very good
6:11
so let's have a look at samples of
6:15
photos and videos that I've taken with
6:17
this phone
6:29

6:50
are you

[Music]
7:06

7:14
There is a saying in Euroba
7:17
[Music]
7:23
land if I hear
7:27
Atimo Atimo we now know how water got
7:31
into the coconut that's it guys about
7:34
the sample photos and videos from the
7:38
Samsung Galaxy A36 5G what do you think
7:42
of them i think that the cameras do
7:44
pretty well the quality of the video
7:47
recording is actually impressive
7:50
the only niggle I have with the camera
7:53
of this phone is that garish messing up
7:57
of the blue lighting in in those samples
8:01
that I showed you it just messes that
8:05
scenario up every time and I have tested
8:08
that scenario with other cameras as you
8:11
saw and they handled it well that that
8:13
lighting is very mild it's actually mild
8:16
it's you know it's blue that's supposed
8:18
to be soothing and nice nothing like the
8:22
way the Galaxy A36 camera portrayed it
8:27
apart from that I love both the selfie
8:32
and the main cameras and I think that
8:35
they do a pretty good job like I said I
8:38
hope Samsung is able to fix that i don't
8:41
even know what to call it
8:44
i hope Samsung is able to fix that with
8:46
a software update and the camera will
8:49
then become perfect thanks for watching
8:52
guys please like this video share it
8:55
with others i'll see you again another
8:57
time
