    • Review Summary

    Samsung introduced the Galaxy A35 5G last year with major upgrades in display, performance and cameras. But with glaring similarities to the Samsung Galaxy A54 from last year, it’s only natural to wonder is it a old wine in a new bottle?

    The A35 5G uses the same processor, battery and charging speed as the A54. I have been using the Samsung Galaxy A35 and this is my long-term review of the phone.

    The phone has a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It offers bright and punchy colors, which makes it perfect for content consumption.

    How does the Exynos 1380 perform? Is the triple camera setup any good? To find out, read my long-term review of the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G.

    • Verdict

    The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G is the perfect mid-range phone for those looking for a Samsung device. It offers a great display, smooth software experience and long-lasting battery life. However, it’s a bit hard to recommend at its current price, and I suggest waiting for a price drop.

    However, you will need to deal with average performance, slow charging, bloatware, and advertisements. Other options in this price range are the Realme GT 6T, Motorola Edge 50 Neo, OnePlus Nord 4, and the Poco F6 5G. They offer much better performance, cameras, and battery backup, as long as you don’t mind missing out on OneUI.
