Samsung Galaxy phone drops to cheapest price with lesser-known code
Samsung has a full range of smartphones. While the Galaxy S models usually take all the headlines, the Galaxy A models offer much the same experience for a lot less money. That’s why Samsung nicknames them ‘Galaxy Awesome’.
The great thing about Galaxy A models is the price, with the Galaxy A36 being one of the more affordable models. Not only is this phone good value for money, but Argos is running a double discount on it: the Galaxy A36 is reduced to £324.99, instantly saving £75 off the launch price, but then there’s an extra 10% off.
That means shoppers can get the Samsung Galaxy A36 for £292.49 on Argos, the cheapest it has ever been. To save the extra 10% you’ll have to use the code ‘RED10’ at checkout, so remember to add the code when putting in your payment details.

It’s also available from Amazon but costs a little more at £399, while shoppers can also buy it direct from Samsung too. The advantage of buying from Samsung is that there are trade-in offers you can take advantage of.
However, to get this much of a discount – the Argos deal saves you £107.50 off the original price from Samsung – you’d need to trade in a phone that’s better than the Galaxy A36 , so it’s not worth it.
Samsung Galaxy A36 5G
The Samsung Galaxy A36 is a great mid-range phone offering long software support and a large AMOLED display.
Those looking for a phone deal that’s not the Galaxy A36, then the Poco X7 Pro on Amazon is £269, saving £75, and this gamer’s phone offers more power, a bigger battery and faster charging, but the user experience isn’t as smooth as Samsung offers.
The Samsung Galaxy A36 has a large 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 256GB of storage and comes in a great modern design, with IP67 protection against water, so it will be happy at the beach.
It’s powered by Snapdragon hardware, but here it’s mid-range Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, so this isn’t the fastest phone around. While it will be fine for day-to-day activities like checking emails and social media, however it doesn’t have the power for a great gaming experience, which we'd urge customers to consider when shopping.
Another drawback to the budget Galaxy A36 model is the display. The model has been noted to have a 'dim' display when used outdoors, something not found to be an issue on the higher end Galaxy S25 range.
One of the great things is that Samsung offers 6 years of updates. That means your phone will still get the latest features and still have security updates in 2031. Samsung’s One UI is one of the most popular phone experiences in Android devices, with plenty of options for customisation.
There’s a triple camera on the back, including a 50-megapixel main sensor, with Galaxy AI editing features bundled in, so once users have snapped their photo, it can be cleaned up using AI.
The Samsung Galaxy A36 sits below the Galaxy A56 and these two devices make up the mid-range tier of Samsung phones before you get to the Galaxy S25 models above it.
