Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G

Samsung Galaxy A35 5G Review: The affordable phone camera you want to take with you
Source: Phone Arena English
An alternative to the Galaxy A35 5G that you might also want to check out is the Pixel 7a, which also comes with an amazing main camera. What would be the better decision, however, is to wait for the Pixel 8a, which is expected to arrive sometime this May, so very soon. It will probably have similar performance and display quality, but might come with even better battery life and some Google AI features. Also, it's software is straight-up vanilla Android, which might be more up some people's alley. Another one you can check out that's freshly released is the Nothing Phone (2a), which comes with a display that is somehow even better thanks to its higher brightness and thinner bezels (although less durable). It also has the Mediatek Dimensity 7200 Pro processor which is built on the 4nm process and is—generally speaking—a more capable chipset. And, of course, we can't forget the much faster 45W wired charging.

70% Galaxy A35 5G review: A premium-looking starter into Samsung’s thriving ecosystem
Source: The Indian Express English
Overall, the Galaxy A35 is a compelling affordable option if you’ve been eyeing the S24 series but cannot stomach their price tags. There are a few minor niggles like the heavy build, massive bezels, and the occasional stuttering. But it’s still one of the better entry points into Samsung’s ever-growing ecosystem. Combine this with solid battery life and Samsung’s UI polish/update commitment, and you have a well-rounded device. However, it’s an increasingly crowded market and there’s no shortage of alternatives. Check the Poco X6 Pro out if the Exynos 1380’s performance is too meek for you. Or the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ which we rated highly for its camera performance.

80% Samsung Galaxy A35 review: elegant, reliable and pocket-friendly
Source: 91mobiles English
The Galaxy A35 proves that high-numbered specs always don’t matter. The phone can easily handle day-to-day tasks, features one of the best displays in the segment, and most importantly, looks good without appearing too masculine. Even for those focused on solid battery backup, the phone won’t disappoint. Gaming-focused users may turn to the iQOO Neo 9 Pro (review) or OnePlus 12R (review), which are relatively more expensive. If you want to experience a curved display and similar Galaxy A35-like features (plus fast charging), the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ (review) is a great choice. If you’re currently using a Samsung phone, considering an upgrade to the Galaxy A35 or even the Galaxy A55 could be an ideal choice. Not only do you get a dependable smartphone, but you also benefit from a comprehensive interconnectivity, (aka ecosystem), with other Samsung devices.

Review – Samsung Galaxy A35
Source: NLT English
Then the question comes – should you buy the Galaxy A35? Honestly speaking, the retail price of RM1,699 is rather high. My advise is to not buy them at full retail price unless there are actually gifts that are useful to you, or wait for a discount as Samsung phones are perpetually going on sale anyway. Some of you also asked if the A35 can last for 4 years – and I think it can. Day-to-day usage is good, but it might not run the latest and greatest, highest-end games smoothly. Samsung has a track record of providing timely updates and combined with its software update policy, this phone is going to last for 4 years, if the phone is kept in good condition.

At Rs 30,999, the Galaxy A35 5G would definitely suit you if you need a Samsung phone and that’s about it. While it does have decent cameras, display and build quality, it does significantly fall short in terms of power, software fluidity, charging speeds, and in some cases even the display, making its competitors a better overall deal.

Samsung Galaxy A35 First Impressions – Awesome Blue Thunder
Source: Hitech Century English
As budget phones go, the Galaxy A35 has a lot going for it with IP67 dust and water resistance, stereo speakers, a main camera with OIS, a huge battery with 25W fast charging and the inclusion of Samsung Knox Vault. Through our initial field tests, it has proven to be nippy, responsive and the cameras perform well too though we’ll have to put it through its paces to draw a final conclusion. In the meantime, stay tuned for our full review!

Performance-wise, the Exynos 1380 is a nice little step up from the Dimensity 1080 inside the Galaxy A34. It is perfectly adequate for the class and enough to offer a fluent One UI experience. That experience will be a big draw for a lot of people. Very few features are still relegated to Samsung's flagship models and outright missing from the Galaxy A35. Plus, the A35 comes with four years of major software updates and five years of security updates. That said, there is no point in claiming that the Galaxy A35 is the best in its class. Shopping around, you can get notably better hardware for your money. However, the Galaxy A35 remains attractive in its entirety as a package. We are sure it won't disappoint any prospective buyers.

81% Samsung Galaxy A35 review: Best camera phone under Rs. 50,000!
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English
To sum it all up, Samsung’s doubled down on its strengths in the camera, software, and design departments making the Galaxy A35 5G a pretty solid deal. Capable hardware paired with Samsung’s optimization makes it my favorite camera phone in the <50,000 segment. If you are someone who doesn’t game a lot on your phone; and cameras, reliability, and good-looking design are what you’re looking for, I wholeheartedly recommend the Galaxy A35 5G. Samsung's Galaxy A35 5G finally brings an updated design with glass back and a punch-hole AMOLED display. The main and selfie cameras spew very good looking images with Samsung's classy optimization while the everyday performance is also reliable enough. But you'll be missing out on gaming prowess, fast refills, and refined haptic feedback on the A35.

Samsung Galaxy A35 5G Display test
Source: DxOMark English
The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G performed very well in our display tests thanks to its good AMOLED panel. While the display specs on the A35 5G were very similar to the slightly more expensive A55 5G, some performance differences could be attributed to software optimizations. However, the A35 5G managed to outperform the A55 5G in some attributes such as color, motion, and touch. In readability, the A35 5G was able to achieve a measured peak brightness of 1620 nits in sunlight conditions, which was higher than its competitors (even those in a higher segment), and admirably quite close to the 1638 nits measured on the A55 5G. However, with the High Brightness Mode activated under sunlight, the renderings on the A35 could appear somewhat unnatural.

6.60":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
