Review
the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G offers a compelling package with a good display, efficient performance, and decent camera capabilities, making it a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone segment.
Key Features
Display: The A35 5G boasts a stunning 6.6-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This translates to buttery smooth scrolling, vibrant colors, and deep blacks, making it a joy to watch videos and play games (except for the most demanding ones). Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ adds a layer of protection against scratches and accidental drops. However, some reviewers found the bezels surrounding the display to be a bit thicker than some competitors.
Performance: The A35 5G is equipped with the Exynos 1280 chipset, which can handle everyday tasks and light gaming without breaking a sweat. However, power users who enjoy heavy multitasking or graphically demanding games might find it lagging a bit.
Cameras: The camera system is a highlight. In good lighting conditions, the A35 5G captures sharp and vivid photos with accurate colors thanks to improved HDR processing. Even selfies come out well. However, low-light performance is a mixed bag. While there's improvement over previous models, some reviewers felt it could still be better, with noise reduction techniques sacrificing some sharpness in darker environments. The phone lacks a dedicated telephoto lens, but digital zoom performs surprisingly well at 2x magnification.
Battery: One area where the A35 5G excels is battery life. You can expect to get through a full day of use on a single charge, thanks to the large 5000mAh battery. However, the charging speed is on the slower side compared to some competitors.
Connectivity and Other Features: Samsung offers excellent software support for the A35 5G. Out of the box, it runs on Android 14 with Samsung's One UI 6.0 on top. But the real win is the promise of four years of major Android updates and five years of security updates, keeping your phone protected and with the latest features for a longer period.The A35 5G boasts a solid build quality with an IP67 water resistance rating, meaning it can survive splashes and light submersion. The stereo speakers deliver good audio quality, perfect for watching videos or listening to music.
Design and Build:The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G embraces a modern design with a combination of materials. The front features a gorgeous glass display shielded by tough Gorilla Glass Victus+ for scratch and shatter resistance. The back, while offering a premium feel, is also glass and might attract fingerprints. Some users might prefer a plastic back for better grip. A lightweight plastic frame keeps the phone comfortable to hold despite its larger size. Color options cater to various styles, with sleek options like Iceblue and classic Black alongside a vibrant Lemon. The build quality is impressive, and the IP67 water resistance ensures the phone survives splashes and short dips. While some might find it slightly thicker due to the large battery, the flat sides ensure comfortable handling.
