What CompareTab says about Huawei Nova 3i vs Samsung Galaxy A36

Samsung Galaxy A36 offers more RAM, storage, battery capacity and a smoother display than Nova 3i, with 8 GB of RAM versus 4 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 128 GB, a 5000 mAh battery versus 3340 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (50 MP versus 16 MP), optical image stabilization on the main camera, an ultrawide rear camera, and 45W charging. Huawei Nova 3i, however, is around $99.00 cheaper and lighter at 169 g versus 195 g and has a higher-resolution 24 MP front camera. The main trade-off is Galaxy A36’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus Nova 3i’s lower price, lighter build, and higher-resolution front camera.
