Samsung Galaxy A35 5G Review | A Surprising Budget Smartphone

Reviewing Samsung's Galaxy A35 5G, a budget-friendly mid-range alternative to those S23 flagship phones. I've been testing the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G for a week now, including the camera, gaming performance, battery life and more, by using it as my full-time smartphone. Here's my verdict, and this blower will cost you just over £300 in the UK from Samsung's website:
howl.me/cmb5ThicYHJ
The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G's 50MP camera is surprisingly decent for this price point, only faltering when the lighting is very dim - otherwise you'll get crisp, attractive looking photos. Gaming on Genshin Impact also worked well, despite the limited performance. Battery life is good too, with the Samsung A35 lasting all day quite happily even with plenty of use.
Samsung has slapped a crisp and punchy Super AMOLED screen and stereo speaker setup on the Galaxy A35 5G, so movie fans should be happy enough. And that design is bright and colourful too, with a small selection of different colours on offer.
So that's my review of the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G. Bit of a cracker at this price, with only the occasional stumble in performance to complain about.

I wanted to wait for A35 but my dying phone forces me to get the A34 instead. And you know what? It did more than serve its purpose for me. I don't game on my phone.. I rather trickle charge my phone overnight than fast charging, I set it charge till 85% and using my phone daily with around 6 to 8 hours screen on time always leave me around 23% at midnight so no fast charging isn't an issue for me.

Budget phones these days are quite good in several areas. Many people think that is good enough. But for me it takes some getting used to because I switched from the S24 ultra to the A55 financially. I am lucky that I am not attending a festival or filming a concert this year, so I would rather have an S24 ultra because of the much better zoom and stability and the like. The cameras on midrange phones are normal but not wow, there is still room for improvement. I am otherwise satisfied with the A55, the fingerscan may be the same as the S23/S24. Battery life is good, no problems with overheating. Call with speaker works well. But it is still a budget phone, so don't expect the best cameras, that is always the biggest drawback. I like the screen on the A55 and the brightness in the sun. If you turn on the automatic brightness, the screen is clearly visible in the sun, but your battery life decreases a lot faster.

I might buy this. I have an S10e, and while it is only about 5 or so years old, I seem to have battery issues and I think the charging port is getting loose. I think if I bought another S10e, it would be around the same price, but I'd rather have something newer and that will get that support since the S10e's support is done I believe. I think it was supported up to Android 12. Maybe I won't impulse buy tonight at 1 in the morning, but if someone manages to repsond to this comment with any smartphone advice, I'll consider it. I don't need the top teir, I have enjoyed my flagship and these mid range phones seem to be getting better.

Just bought this phone for my young brother in law. Had time to play with it VSes my s22 ultra and my wifes s24 ultra. The s22 U and s24U are about the same on day to day use. The a35 vses both of them feels a little cheaper and much lighter. The screen doesnt get as bright but no one uses a phone at max brightness. The speakers arent as full and detailed on the a35 and the vibration motors feel weaker and cheaper ie during texts, pressing home buttons etc. All that said, if I lost my phone and needed one to get me by for a year, would I get the a35? Heck yeah!

The phone is very hot when gaming, and the only solution I find is to drop 120hz to 60hz. The reason is that when running a game, the phone is constantly at 120hz instead of alternating between 60 and 120 in adaptive mode. I wonder if there's a way to force the phone to run games at 60hz.
