Between DZD 50,000 and 100,000, the Galaxy A36 at DZD 59,900 opens the segment, the Galaxy A56 at DZD 72,000 dominates it and the Galaxy S24 FE at DZD 86,000 closes it. The Honor X9d at DZD 72,500 is the only serious alternative, with an 8,300 mAh battery that has no rival at this price.
The prices below come from active offers recorded on November 1, 2026 in the comparison tool. The same model can vary by DZD 20,000 between two shops, so the range matters as much as the lowest price.
The entry point: Galaxy A36
At DZD 59,900, the Galaxy A36 is the first model in the segment with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen at 120 Hz, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip and an IP67 rating. It is also the cheapest here to promise several years of software updates.
Samsung Galaxy A36
6GB RAM · 128GB · 6.7 · Super AMOLED
Its limits are clear: 6 GB of memory, 128 GB of storage and a 50 MP sensor without a telephoto lens. For daily use this is the best value in the segment. For night photography or heavy games, you need to climb higher.
A56 against Honor X9d
The Galaxy A56 5G at DZD 72,000 adds 8 GB of memory, a faster Exynos 1580 and tougher glass. The Honor X9d at almost the same price, DZD 72,500, answers with 12 GB of memory, 256 GB of storage and 8,300 mAh. On paper, Honor wins three columns out of four.
The difference shows elsewhere. The X9d is heavy, its software layer is followed less closely than One UI, and its top price reaches DZD 81,900, some DZD 10,000 above the A56 floor. If you buy at the lowest price, the X9d is the better choice for battery and storage. If you buy at the top price, the A56 remains preferable.
DZD 86,000 and above: Galaxy S24 FE
The Galaxy S24 FE at DZD 86,000 moves into another category: Exynos 2400 chip, 6.7-inch 120 Hz screen, 8 GB of memory and a 50 MP sensor with a telephoto lens. It is the cheapest model on this list with an optical zoom.

The iPhone 13 trap
