Samsung Galaxy A35 5G Review | A Surprising Budget Smartphone

[@93_gallo]

I like how many comments are complaining about the lackings of the phone. Its a $300+ phone, if you feel that its lacking feel free to buy the flagships for over $1500+. Otherwise I'd say the A35 is really a great price since it can do pretty much 80~90% of the things a flagship could do.

[@dbreardon]

LOL...no kidding. I'm still using a2018 moto g7 power but looking at the A35 as a replacement only because the battery is swelling in the Moto. I'm nowhere near a power user on mobile so the A35 should suffice for another 6+ years....lol. Down to $324 at Best Buy (sale)

[@dearickangelonej.legaspi6686]

I actually had to spend a few good hours trying to get my friend to buy a Poco for gaming in a midrange budget since he was having way too much expectations for the price range that we both had as poor college students in a 3rd world country😂

[@MrWombatty]

After having so much trouble with my Redmi Note 10 not working on 4G after an Android system update, then a faulty SIM card, I decided to also sign up for a special deal Vodafone-Australia had a few weeks ago on the Samsung A35. We each ordered one, which were only going to cost us an extra $5 per month for 24 mths on top of our existing SIM plans (our only means of accessing the Internet from where we live), saving us over $AUD420 on each phone! With less than half the money I saved, I kitted it out with a QuadLock mag-lock protective case, along with several different mag-lock mounts! 😄😄 I don't mind at all that the A35 lacks Ai, but wireless-charging may have proved useful! 🤔 So glad our colour-choice is only between Amazing Ice-blue (my brother's phone), & Amazing Navy (a very dark blue), which I preferred! Overall I absolutely love my Samsung A35!

[@johnnylektric]

Haha love the review, man! Instant sub! I've had this phone for a few weeks now, and it's great! I don't do games and I really just use phones for basic and nothing fancy kind of things, so this phone is spot on!

[@MicahTheManiac]

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.

[@a_ni_ma_l]

I'm in the same position, my s10e has been brilliant, however, the bottom speaker now sounds terrible! This phone might be a good upgrade 👌

[@jassibedi4512]

I'm looking for a new phone after my 10e too! It's a shame they don't have an E-model for the new ones. Mine works well but I don't like that the OS is no longer supported. I think this phone suits all my needs though. Did you end up buying this one?

[@hteekay]

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.

[@FlubFlubber]

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.

[@eliteexposure5594]

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!

[@Bi11lie_v]

Just a year ? Is the a35 a phone that would last just a year ? I thought it would still be running well after 4 to 5 years 😂

Thank you for this video! This video saved me in Blighty, as my Samsung flip 6 main screen failed (no damage to it as it's got the best protectors, it just went blank - which was a common issue on older models but shouldn't happen with new ones). So I needed a cheaper but trustworthy phone while I try and get Samsung to sort it out. Let's just say I won't be buying any expensive flippy or foldy phones again...as Argos are stricter with the insurance... Basically useless. So I'm stuck with having to call Samsung myself and try and book in a repair for a phone that has failed after 5 months... Apparently Samsung and Argos don't care I want my money back instead of a repair. 😅 With the Samsung A35 I love the colour and screen and most of its functions. The only negative is it hates the spotify app, but I just use the web page version on it and it's fine. The sound quality of the speakers is really good too.

[@Claire-to5ym]

P.S. the Samsung flip 6 small screen is annoyingly useless after the main screen fails... As it only supports certain apps and functions fully. You can't even do phone to phone info/switch transfers, as you need to open the phone and use the main screen for it. I had to back up everything off it to Google photos and drive in the end.
