Samsung launched the Galaxy A35 5G alongside its premium sibling, the Galaxy A55 5G. They share some core specs, but the A35 targets a budget-conscious audience with a competitive price tag.
The Galaxy A35 retains a plastic build but gets a refresh with a new key island design and a centred punch-hole display. The phone boasts a large 6.6-inch Super AMOLED screen with a sharp FHD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate for a great viewing experience.
The Galaxy A35 packs Samsung's Exynos 1380 processor, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, offering capable performance for everyday tasks. The 50-megapixel primary rear camera with optical image stabilization takes clear photos, while the 8-megapixel ultrawide and 5-megapixel macro sensors offer versatility. A 13-megapixel front-facing camera handles selfies and video calls.
The phone boasts an IP67 dust and water resistance rating for peace of mind. It also runs the latest Android 14 with Samsung's One UI 6.1 customization and promises long-term software support with four generations of operating system upgrades and five years of security updates. A massive 5,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging keeps you powered throughout the day.
Like the Galaxy A55, the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G comes in a range of attractive colours: Lilac, Lemon, Ice Blue, and Navy. It starts at €380 (around CA$561) for the base 6GB + 128GB variant, with additional configurations of 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB available.
