These phones had similar chip performance, with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and 7s Gen 2 processors, and the A36's Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor.
While Motorola phones often lacked performance compared to more expensive phones,
at least there was no lag when moving the home screen left or right.
The A36 experienced lag even when simply moving the home screen left or right.
The A36 is fine as a backup phone, but it's not ideal for everyday use.
It's just a matter of what's more important to you or what you want this phone for. If you want a phone you can unlock and have as a spare phone, the A36 will do that nicely for a lot longer. Or you want it as a main phone you won't need to replace after a year or so of actual use. If you just want the better phone that you either don't care about having a much shorter use period, or you don't mind using it long past when security updates end, I'd grab the Moto.
This is always the main issue with Motos in general, btw. You'll see a great price on phones that look great, and in use, they are great! But there's a reason they're cheaper, and it's those short support periods. We've had several, I just set my husband up with an Edge bought in late 2024, set aside, and unlocked in Dec. Very nice little phone. We'll want to replace it sometime next year due to support ending in May 2027, otherwise, he'd gladly keep it for years.
