I wish Samsung could've launch midrange 6.1 inch screen phone..

[@iiftekardialam9489]

Exactly. It would look more compact.

[@sakawale]

[@markvillanueva5660]

I would go for A54 it has better camera and being offered at lower price.I don't mind about the slight difference on larger screen and 1 year more support.You pay for A54 which is more practical and reasonable

[@feng443]

A35 will have one more year of OS support.

Nice video men! This is what I waiting for

[@NotAquaRelated]

Thank you so much for this! I get confused just comparing spec sheets sometimes, so seeing a direct comparison is great

[@saidimon]

I would like to see a middle range Samsung phone where its body size fits something like a 6.1" display at least!!

[@robinyumnam2646]

S24 FE will be 6.1"

[@sudiptachatterjee1610]

Do mention with thin bezels, the s23 Fe is same size as s23+, but screen size is much smaller

[@saidimon]

@@sudiptachatterjee1610 , no no! I was not referring about bezels. I am referring about the overall size\dimension of the smartphones that we have nowadays. The dimension of Iphone's size (146.6 x 70.6 x 8.3 mm (5.77 x 2.78 x 0.33 in)) or an S23 (146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6 mm (5.76 x 2.79 x 0.30 in)), this dimension is perfect for me and the vast majority of people!! Usually this size fits 6.1" screen, but, if it is possible to fit a bigger display and yet keep this very dimensions, than would be even great!!

[@floranteiie.dagondon553]

MidRange is the new Flagship

[@realdoinky]

Please take photo and video samples at the same time! It is already hard to differentiate the details because of youtube compression and the color comparison gets skewed due to the samples being shot at different times.

According to samsung's security page the a54 is scheduled to get monthly security updates. The a35 is getting quarterly updates.

[@cavusabri]

Is A35 laggy as A54? Especially when we switch between apps or pull down the notification shade.

[@akorejepade1261]

Samsung Galaxy M55 looks interesting... hopefully you guys will get to do a review of it. 🤞

[@nivlach6291]

Very cheap metirials, horrible camera quality,no water resistance,no esim

[@pixelgaming7261]

3:19 I'm guessing Samsung made the cheaper phones taper off more at the end, or taper off earlier.

[@fineabyss5339]

But does the A35 have Augmented reality ar and smart view ?

[@magikarp2063]

Basically the same phone.

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

A35 has Worse cameras

[@djdelarosa25]

I'd get the A35 for longer updates and they finally got rid of the annoying silver ring around the front facing camera (small thing, I know).

[@magikarp2063]

@@djdelarosa25 I don't know why someone would care about 3 vs 4 android version updates. Even if you have the phone for 4 years you are 1 version behind, who cares, they are all the same anyway. Android has been mature for years, its like comparing windows 11 now and windows 11 a year ago, its basically the same. You are right about the silver ring, I don't understand why they have it.

[@djdelarosa25]

You guys have gotten too slopy. No real camera comparison, no side by side display comparison. No actual benchmark comparison between the devices. I am fully capable of reading a spec sheetyself.

[@smil3306]

thats crazy

[@sameerghayya3203]

Your comparisons need to be better. all reviews and comparisons are just saying this good this bad and in the end the user still confused what to choose between them or how good a phone is. you need to go into details more and do more practical usage for a phone to give the user who watches the ability to make a decision.

[@durai_ac]

Very simple to decide. A54 is good but it's one year old phone. Go for A35 if your budget is little less. Go for A55 if you have little more budget. Camera will be better in A50+ series than A30+ series .

[@alexescu5653]

A54 is 1500 lei in our country vs A35 - 1300 lei , so no question A35 all the way . its worth mentioning though that A54 comes with 8GB ram , vs 6 in lower config on A35

[@DadankestKnight2023]

That expandable memory was worth it.

[@TheJames-Edward]

I can't say to get one over the other. I have the a54 and if the option to get the a55 was in the U.S. I would trade in for it. But the a35 isn't much better. The only things I can think of is that the over heating isn't there and the build with the newer frame and button island are nice. But I'll stick with the a54 unless the a55 ends up in the U.S.

[@Bi11lie_v]

The a54 heats up ??

[@afanasibushmanov7463]

​@@Bi11lie_vnot really. Only when playing graphic intensive games, but in general no.

[@MK-tg6oi]

A55 is 6.6 inch way to big if you have small hands , and the screen looks washed out like looking at a lcd panel instead of amoled, a54 is better apart from the chipset

[@leeallenbeal]

6.6 inch not big over my old 6.8 inch Motorola Moto G Stylus love 6.4 inch om my A54 5g I got big hands

[@dannyboots]

Man, A54 ain't all its cracked up to be. Honestly, I'd rather get A34 opposed to A35. Save on money and its pretty much the same phone even compared to the A50's which is insane.

A34 Is no, for the orrible notch

[@dddaddy]

At this point, releasing an A series every other week only serves to confuse people (probably not an accident). I'm watching these videos to decide if I want an upgrade on my A52s 5G. And no, it still beats out basically everything that came after, at least where it matters to me.

[@prinzexisalowqualityytber]

the a35 is a pretty good deal if you ask me

[@dddaddy]

@@prinzexisalowqualityytber I don't know. The only real reason I'd consider it is the eSIM capability. Other than that, the camera seems similar, but for some reason every new release since the A52 has had a lower resolution (64 vs 50 MP). Surely it can't be worse overall, but I can't tell. Plus the A52 has a Snapdragon. Again, probably not a huge deal, but I'm not sure the Exynos is up there with it yet, if you compare like to like (could be wrong). Overall I'm not convinced. I think I'd look around what other brands offer (Poco in particular).

[@hristomihaylov7336]

Actually everything after A52s is failure. A53 and A54 are laggy trash compared to A52s. Even with those more years with OS updates they're not a true update.

[@prinzexisalowqualityytber]

@@dddaddy there is a really promising phone on the market called the techno canon 30, however they are an African brand so you have to go through special ways in order to get this phone, the software is a huge downgrade compared to Samsung but its enough
