This is fantatsic. The phone was in much better condition than i thought it would be, i went fair condition because i wasnt bothered about scratches, i just needed a better phone than i had already due to it slowing down and having no support left. When this phone arrived the condition is like its brand new, there are no marks or scratches at all and the phone is working perfectly. An excellent service and i would recomend back market to anyone.

I have always had the S range of Samsung and was slightly apprehensive as to whether the A range was going to be inferior. But I am really happy with it! I have a terrible habit of dropping my phone all the time, so didn't want the cost outlay of the S. The phone itself is ideal, camera really good, condition immaculate and service excellent. Many thanks 😊

Really pleased a) with the product and b) with how simple the whole transaction has been. Even returning my ancient handset and receiving a payment for it. Recommending to family and friends and will be making future purchases.

Very happy with the device: arrived quickly, in good condition and set up went well (camera not as good as an old A71, but vastly superior connectivity). It's a very subtle 'sheen' of purple, not at all brash, too.

It’s a 5 star for the seller and Back Market as well. I bought this phone for my mum and chosen Premium condition-surprisingly the phone came out fully boxed up and I had to unseal the case. Such great buy from Back Market- although I always buy from BM and will surely buy more stuffs.

Phone looks brand new to me, battery holds super well and there is not a mark or scratch to be seen. Cannot believe this is a refurbished phone.

The Samsung Galaxy A36 offers a balanced experience for users after a current mid-range smartphone without any unnecessary extras. Launched in March 2024, it’s part of Samsung’s well-established Galaxy A series—a generation behind the A37, but still keeping up with the basics and looking good while doing it.

Key features:

Release Date: March 2024
Display: 6.6-inch Super AMOLED, FHD+ (1080 x 2340 px), 120Hz refresh rate
Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 1080 (6nm)
Camera: Triple-lens rear set-up: 50MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro; 13MP selfie camera
Build: Gorilla Glass front, plastic frame and back
Operating System: Ships with Android 14 (One UI 6.1)
Connectivity: 5G and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) support

Who is this for?

The Galaxy A36 specifications and straightforward features make it a practical pick for students, everyday users, and anyone after a reliable, fuss-free Android. It’s ideal for those who want a vibrant display and capable camera system, but don’t need the flagship frills of the Galaxy S series. If you want a bigger jump in camera power or snazzier design, last year’s Galaxy A54 might be worth a look, but the A36 keeps things workable and simple.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Vibrant Super AMOLED panel with high refresh rate for smoother scrolling.	No telephoto lens for genuine optical zoom—digital only here.
Solid day-to-day performance for apps, browsing, and social media.	Plastic build isn’t as premium as glass or metal.
5G support for faster mobile speeds.	Ships with Wi-Fi 5—you’ll miss out on Wi-Fi 6 speeds.

Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished Samsung Galaxy A36 supports the circular economy and helps keep tech out of landfill—good news for the planet (and your shelf space). Devices on Back Market go through independent, rigorous quality checks before they reach you. Learn more about our quality standards.
