FULL STORY
======================================================================

A supposed leak may have detailed the internal specs of the rumored Samsung 
Galaxy A36 5G, the sequel to our favorite cheap Samsung phone , the Galaxy 
A35. 

The leak, courtesy of 91mobiles , suggests the follow-up to our beloved A35 
could use a years-old Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset. It comprises a 
report from benchmarking service Geekbench which lists the chipset as parrot, 
which PhoneArena reports is a likely codename for the two-year-old Snapdragon 
Gen 1. 

The phone used for this test carries the model number SM-A366B and runs 
Android 15, scoring 314 in Geekbenchs single core test and 1,279 in the 
multi-core test. 

We rely more on real-world experience than benchmarks in our testing, but 
this really isnt a good score. However, we have to allow a large margin of 
error for what could be a prototype device or unreliable information. 

For reference, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 launched in September 2022, and wasnt 
exactly a flagship-level chipset at the time, so two years later were not 
sure if itll keep up with more demanding tasks. 

Our Samsung Galaxy A35 review saw the phone pick up points for its snappy 
performance and surprising gaming ability. So while we dont expect 
flagship-tier performance from its midrange follow up, wed like to see the 
Galaxy A36 keep pace with the ever-increasing demands of everyday phone use. 

However, a closer look at the leaked Geekbench report reveals that the 
chipset has  two sets of cores, clocked at 1.8GHz and 2.4GHz respectively, 
which aligns more closely with the power of this years Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 
chipset. 

A more modern Snapdragon chipset would almost certainly improve on the 
Samsung-made Exynos 1380 chipset found within the Galaxy A35, but were still 
too light on details to offer any serious predictions. 

For now, the above remains based entirely on rumor, so be sure to keep up
