Twice The Price, But What's Different? Samsung Galaxy S24+ vs Galaxy A35

[@IonicSplash365]

The fact that 300 dollar phones have 90-120hz and apple couldn't put it on the base iphone 15 and 15 plus is wild to me, and dont bring up the fact that most people wouldnt care, or for the battery, most phones that come with that on the android side come with it disabled and you enable it yourself, so they couldve done the same thing. 830 dollars for 60hz is absolutely criminal, and no one should be defending it.

Honestly the performance makes all the difference. All my life I have primarily stuck to budget phones with the last one being Samsung M51. Switched last year to S23+. Where the performance really comes in handy is, I do all my payments and travel ticket bookings through the phone. So there have been times when I am running late and I have to do a train or bus booking at the very last minute. The zippy performance from s23+ has saved the day for me on multiple occasions. Just flying through the options and most importantly, no freezes or app crashes. So, yes if you can afford the extra asking price of the flagship, go for it..makes life a lot more convenient.

[@rudfil]

That’s true but the speed difference isn’t that great with todays mid-range phones.

[@indonesiaamerica7050]

@@MaddJakd Try again to say something that adds to the conversation. My "never meet" phrasing was snarky, not trying to be "factual" but making a point. They meet, I assume, but don't have the same kinds of tech discussions with each other. They don't try to have a meeting of the minds. By definition, flagship buyers are most concerned about performance and I guess some people think phones have "bling". The bling conversation is separate from this one. Midrange buyers frame their choices based on affordability. So if that is not "factual" then you're going to have to explain to me why anyone who has no affordability issues is going to look at an A34. Saving money is literally the only reason to choose one over the S-series. Or put another way, anyone looking for an S-series is not going to need to compare it to an A34 unless they're totally ignorant. The A73 is the only A-series that ever ate in to S series because the screen was better than all of the S-series at the time other than the Ultra. I repeat, nobody is going to seriously question which one is better for them if they don't mind spending money on the S-series. Even the A55 sucks but some might think because the pricing is getting close to the FE-series that they might look at those differences. For me I would never spend the money on the A55 when the FE series are so close in price. But at least one can understand who would, because FE is also mid-range but has most of the features of the S series.

I sent the a35 back as it was too heavy and felt slow compared to my pixel 6a. got a deal on the pixel 8 and its creamy smooth and is lightyears ahead in terms of user experience. found the a35 was very heavy and chunky

[@OverbiteGames]

The Pixel 6a is 50% faster CPU and 2.25x the GPU speed. To anyone who wants to get an idea as to what the performance of their device will be: CPU: "Phone" + Geekbench 6 GPU: "Phone" + UL Benchmark For CPU the A35 is 1000 and the Pixel 6a is 1480. For GPU look for the Wildlife Extreme score - you want a score of 630 or better. 800 gets you to Switch Handheld performance when accounting for the 65% reduction in power that phones must adhere to in order to prevent thermal throttling. Docked Switch performance requires a score of 1141 or higher for the same reason. The Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6a both just narrowly beat this out. The Samsung A55 is only half of the Pixel 6a GPU performance and 2/3 of the Pixel 6a CPU performance. I cannot recommend anyone pick up a budget Samsung device when a budget Pixel A series device that's 3 years older is destroying them.

[@alexdenton6586]

Actually, I'm not sure, but I do have some doubts about whether it's a good deal to go for a mid-range product. I always think it might be better to buy a refurbished or second-hand phone that is two or three years old, or even older, which would cost the same price, but at least you're getting something that was considered high-end at the time. For the same price, you get something that is mid-range-is it really worth it after all? Wouldn't it be better to spend 500 euros on an old flagship that was top-of-the-line at its release rather than spending the same amount on something mediocre that you will keep for several years? That's the question I'm pondering.

[@yigiteydemir8295]

Today's mid-range phones have most of the features as older flagships. For example A55 has terrible bezels but same design language as new S series, good 120 hz AMOLED screen compared to 3 years ago 60-90Hz versions. IP67 is still good imo. If you're okay with performance and cameras, you'll get probably same user experience for daily usage. Plus, todays mid-range phones will get 4 years OS-5 years security updates, while 2-3 year old flagships are reaching the end of their software support. But since mid-range devices especially Samsung devices are overpriced imo, it makes more sense to buy them with a discount of 300-400. The same goes for the Pixel A series. After all, I would buy a current mid-range instead of 2-3 years old flagship for 500 euros, but my preference would be to buy the current mid-range at a discount :)

I think the biggest rivalry to the A35 is the S23. Last year I upgrade phone and I had a budget of 400€. The A34 was 380. A second hand S22 was 400. The only thing I lake is battery life because S22 generation. Without that, I am pleased with my phone. I didn't thought that I would take a lot of picture but is realy convenient. I checked quickly and you can get S23 for 500€... so an A35/55 or S23 is the real question.

The apps opening faster is a pretty big time saver. Let's just say for example it's 0.2 seconds faster for any app to open on the S24, that might not seem like a long time, but after opening various apps 1,000 times, it adds up to 200 seconds, or 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

Hey nice job on the comparison and without a doubt if you're on a budget,save money or maybe you drop your phone a lot and so it's better to buy a less expensive phone the A35 will get almost everything done that you want on a normal phone. Or I forgot maybe if you want SD card support also. I think the s24 Plus does come with some upgrades camera ,processor ,ram, screen resolution, haptic motor, charging speed, higher rated water and dust protection, much smaller bezels, 7 years of updates and people will say this is not worth it but I would still be using my s10e if it came with that. Also AI features which actually are pretty cool I have to admit I don't use them all the time but when I use them I find them quite handy. I do speech to text all the time and so having the faster processor is for me a must as I'm really horrible typer on a phone so that's a major thing for me.

Got my s21 ultra for 380 last year so yeah always buy an older (albeit refurbished with flaws) flagship imo

[@SNFDNSD]

I would never spend $500+ on a tiny screen unless it's a handheld console like a steamdeck or rog ally. a $200 phone can basically do the same things a $1000 phone can.

How it happened he did not know. But all at once something seemed to seize him and fling him at her feet. He wept and threw his arms round her knees. For the first instant she was terribly frightened and she turned pale. She jumped up and looked at him trembling. But at the same moment she understood, and a light of infinite happiness came into her eyes. She knew and had no doubt that he loved her beyond everything and

Its better to wait for the next phone to come out and see a good discount on a previous phone. Im planning on getting the s24+ since it's the ultra model, but more comfortable and maybe better battery life since the ram has increased. If anything, the s23 base model is what I was going for at first, but stopped to see the s24 line up, and the s24+ overall is a step up from any previous plus models.

The Samsung S ultras has a DEX feature which turns any monitor/display that you can use HDMI or Screen mirroring into a desktop like experience turning your phone into your trackpad and keyboard, or connect your own wireless peripherals.

[@eureka5635]

I game so the extra performance is useful to me, plus it'll last longer so in the long run I'll spend far less money. I also use my phone for projects so its worth it.

Thanks Mike for the video. I have a Pixel 6a, I am having some problems with it. The Pixel keeps me on my toes. It goes ok for a while then it acts up. ? Never a dull moment. 🙂

My S10e Broke last year. had to get a A series in a pinch. I wanted to throw my self off a bridge the whole time. I just got the base model S24. I cannot take the lagginess of the A series.

[@MaddJakd]

@@raven8472Chickens Not the S10e! That was the "bite sized" phone to show them how it's done.

[@davinp]

Samsung has reserved wireless charging, AI features and Dex the S series phones, so none of the A series phones including the A35 get these features

[@TechNomadUK1]

Talking about an everyday cameras and very decent performance (notwithstanding slow battery charging)..Is the Galaxy A35 a substantial and "important" update than the A34? Or save money and go for the A25 instead? Or something else?

[@sabakag]

I have S20FE and A34. At first A34 looked great, in some cases beating S20FE, but after using it for some time I got to say S20FE is still wayyy better phone overall. The main difference is cameras and connectivity.

[@Lilly3oo4]

To me the biggest factor was the wireless charging. So far I always had S-Series phones, so I considered it a rather normal feature and I still don't understand why they wouldn't simply put this in the A-Series as well. The second thing I just don't understand is that the A35 5G is available in Europe and elsewhere with 256gb and 8gb ram dual sim, whereas the 256gb version just does not exist on the US American market, not even from the Samsung webpage itself. Why would they only have the 128gb version in the US?

[@siyafetsha759]

I've always wanted to use a flagship phone just to see if I'm missing out on anything major because the midrange devices are more than enough for someone like me who doesnt play any games on a phone.

[@DmytroBogdan]

Metal ring around camera also "feels more premium", so its just your opinion. Brighness diff is very noticeable what are you talking about. Bezels on the other hand doesn't matter.

[@VospoGD]

All they have to do is shrink the screen size for the A series and leave the larger screen displays for the S+ series, people who want bigger phone would flock over to the S series, and people who want smaller phones (like me) and/or cheaper phones (like me) would get the A series but have to sacrifice (not for me) the screen size, as well as battery... Maybe even make A30s same size as the S20s and A50s to S20+s so people would get the more expensive A50s if they want bigger screens

[@denzylibe5229]

Do a comparison between the Galaxy A55 and S24+

[@mole1596]

This comparison is inevitably going to go in the flagship's favor. You can compare the S23+ (launched for $1,000) to the S23 FE ($500 right now), where the FE would win the value race. Same for the new Pixel 8a ($500) vs the Pixel 8 Pro (launched at $1,000) - the flagship loses big time there.

[@arnoldmbuthia2687]

The foldable phones from Samsung really do lose their value real fast. Some like the 5th gen flip phones are essentially the same cost as this A35

[@ToCoKe-g5s]

It's a huge difference in color rendering and light on the screens. Aso the cameras are much better on s24. But I must say that for the price the A35 with expandable storage is a good deal.

[@_chr1_s]

we need s24 vs a55. I got the a 55 for my sister and i got the s24+

[@abdullahasmj8527]

Hey Mike! I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you reviewing phones besides flagships, and, even though some consider there to be huge differences in the two phones, only tech enthusiasts will really feel those. The bezels, the processor, the camera, are definitely noticeable improvements, but only too those who are actively searching for those differences. In short, thanks for your amazing reviews, and they are much appreciated. Kudos....from Pakistan 😉

[@TCCL227]

Thanks!

[@jamesjimbob71]

it looks like a really cool phone and i personlly don't think the bezels look bad at all

[@ar.aaziljamal9282]

Great review 👏 👌 👍

[@cottagegymfun]

I'm a sucker for value 😂😂 Honestly, I am not very picky with phones starting about 5 years ago. They all perform more than satisfying

Getting a new s24 $300 the owner used it for 2 weeks he said he can't get use to a smaller phone

[@kathykit7629]

I have the basic Samsung S24. The camera takes really horrible pictures. Harsh looking pix, and the camera doesn’t pick up the colors I see like my old S21. Is there any adjustments I can make to improve the camera? Seriously thinking of returning it. Feel Samsung has let me down on this one.

[@FernandoBaldrich]

In what sense are they horrible? From everything I've seen the S24's camera is even slightly better than the iPhone 15

[@satoshiuchiha931]

The only 2 reasons you'll go for a flagship imo is : 1) camera 2) gaming ( emulators specifically because all android games are playable even on low end Android) If you don't care about these 2 go buy a mid-ranger

[@IAintNoRookie]

What I don't like about all these different variants of the s24 is that they make the phone look so similar to a flagship where it makes you feel like you bought something kind of expensive and they show this device and it doesn't look any different from the flagship. A Samsung user knows a flagship performs better but from an iPhone user you wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all...

[@mondodaftasabrush]

Looking for a replacement for my fully functional S7 edge I just love the video footage it shoots Think I have had my moneys worth but it still works Maybe next year?

[@pacarnyajisu]

I always admire flagship series, but in fact midranger actually is enough for my daily.., storage is more important and thankfully sd card still available there.. 😂😂

[@BertieJasokie]

Then, there is the M35 which has the same display, camera, processor, 8gb ram max, 1000mah more and plastic body for about 33% cheaper.

[@S.A.]

I'm reaaaaaally missing the shots in the dark or with less ligth, in my oppion that is really a deal breaking feature if its bad, next time you can like, zoom in into the foto's to have a better comparison in how sharp the foto is in the distance. Also try the video also in the dark or with less light, probably a pretty important factor for a lot of people and you just don't mention it

[@anthony14363]

Samsung has given me intelligence. Their goal is to provide a consistent design across all A, and S, series models. The only differences between the models are in the processor and camera quality, with the lower-quality models using plastic construction materials and lower-quality cameras. The best camera and content are available with higher model numbers. For now, things will continue to be as they are. Given that the designs of all the models are identical, you would be better off getting a series if you wanted a just for the design of S series. The greater the model number, the higher the quality. It's the same in terms of design.

[@Eurypsi]

S24 Plus is 1400 in Canada and S24 is on Sale for 850 in Canada so it's actually a crazy difference between the prices

[@mattjones3361]

The A35 costs £190 in the UK at the moment, i just got one as a spare/work phone

[@ycrecon]

Using the A35 and performance is the main difference. Much more instances of lag and slower launch of apps.
