vivo X500 offers more RAM and faster wired charging than Galaxy A36, with 12 GB of RAM versus 8 GB, a 7500 mAh battery versus 5000 mAh, a 144 Hz display instead of 120 Hz, and 90 W wired charging versus 45 W. It also adds a higher-resolution front camera (50 MP versus 12 MP), a telephoto rear camera, and wireless charging. Samsung Galaxy A36, however, is around $365 cheaper, lighter at 195 g versus 211 g, and thinner at 7.4 mm versus 8.15 mm. The choice comes down to X500’s extra RAM, faster charging, battery capacity, smoother display, and camera features versus Galaxy A36’s lower price and lighter, thinner build.
