Samsung Galaxy A35 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.0/10
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy A35 is a great choice for those who prioritise reliable performance, crisp display, loud speakers, and all-day battery backup. The phone also exhibits good camera performance in daylight, though low-light performance needs improvement. The Galaxy A35 even sets itself apart from most competitors by promising four years of major Android updates and five years of security updates. When it comes to fast charging, Samsung could benefit from closely observing its competitors in China.
Pros
- Vivid display
- IP67 rating
- 4-year Android OS updates
- 50MP camera works well in daylight
Cons
- Only 25W charging
- Low-light photography could be better
Design and display
+
Despite its close resemblance to the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy S24, you can distinguish the build quality of the Galaxy A35. The smartphone mostly features a plastic body instead of metal, but the former does not feel substandard at all. I also quite like the Awesome Lilac colour, as it adds a bit of freshness to the overall segment. If you are not a fan of the purple shade, Samsung offers black and white options as well.

The Galaxy A35 continues to stack triple cameras on the back, similar to the Galaxy A55. The rear camera system is headlined by an upgraded 50MP primary camera alongside an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 5MP macro camera. The front panel houses a 13MP selfie shooter. Samsung is also promising improved photography with an upgraded NPU on SoC.

Performance and software
+
Samsung has opted to use its in-house Exynos SoC on the Galaxy A35 instead of a MediaTek chipset on last year's Galaxy A34. The base variant now also offers 8GB RAM. Users can choose between 128GB storage (Rs 30,999) or 256GB storage configuration (Rs 33,999). The Galaxy A35 utilises LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage - common storage standards for most smartphones in the range. However, Samsung's Chinese counterparts have started pushing the limit by offering LPDDR5 and USF 3.1 standards to offer fast load times and smooth performance.
