The Samsung Galaxy M36 5G is the best Samsung phone you can buy under ₹20,000 right now. The 120Hz Super AMOLED display, 50MP OIS camera, Gorilla Glass Victus+ build, and industry-leading 6 years of software support make it a compelling package. The Exynos 1380 handles daily use well though it is not a gaming powerhouse. The 5,000mAh battery is reliable for a full day and the AI features — Gemini, Circle to Search — feel genuinely useful. Note that no charger is included in the box. At 27% off MRP on Amazon India, this is solid value for Samsung loyalists and software-first buyers.
