What the size difference means in daily use

Pockets and bags
Galaxy M36 5G is 2.2 mm taller, which mostly affects how deep it sits in a pocket and how far your thumb must stretch to the top edge. Thickness differs by only 0.3 mm, which is too small to notice in everyday use.

Because the height or width differs by about a millimetre or more, a case or screen protector made for Galaxy M36 5G is unlikely to fit Galaxy A56. Always buy accessories listed for the exact model.
