Samsung’s freshly unveiled Galaxy M36 delivers a slimmer (7.7 mm) profile, AI-powered camera tools, and a premium Gorilla Glass Victus+ front. Yet in a curious move, Samsung has replaced the M35’s elegant Infinity-O punch-hole display with an Infinity-U design and a visible U-shaped notch—an aesthetic step back for its mid-range lineup.
Key Specs & Features
- Display: Infinity-U panel with U-shaped notch, Gorilla Glass Victus+
- Dimensions: 7.7 mm thin chassis (15 % thinner than the 9.1 mm M35)
- Processor: Exynos 1380
- Rear Cameras: 50 MP primary with OIS • 8 MP ultra-wide • 2 MP macro
- Front Camera: 13 MP selfie, 4K@30 fps video on both lenses
- AI Camera Modes: Night Mode, AI Depth Map, Night Portraits, Multi-Frame Synthesis

Despite the same Exynos 1380 engine under the hood, Samsung promises better low-light shots and crisp video capture. AI Select—once exclusive to premium Galaxy models—now allows M36 owners to instantly isolate subjects for easy background removal, a welcome trickle of high-end software to the value segment.
Why the Display Downgrade Matters
Many fans adored the M35’s punch-hole camera, which disappeared unobtrusively into the screen. The switch to a U-notch interrupts the display’s immersion, making the M36 look dated against rivals that still favour hole-punch or truly bezel-less screenshttps://www.cnbctv18.com/technology/.
