Samsung Galaxy M35 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.5/10
Verdict
For dialy work, the Samsung Galaxy M35 5G is a good choice, especially if battery life matters to you. Samsung has also been thoughtful to add NFC support, which may help users relying significantly on digital transactions. The new Exynos chipset provides improved performance over last year's model. However, Samsung still needs to improve the low-light camera performance, perhaps in the next iteration. Reducing the weight without compromising battery capacity would also be a significant step forward.
Pros
- Long battery backup
- 4K video recording for front and rear cameras
- 4 years of Android OS promise
- NFC support
Cons
- Bulky build
- Slow charging
- Low-light photography needs improvements
Design and display
+
The Galaxy M35 5G, like last year's Galaxy M34 5G, maintains a minimalist design. The triple cameras on the back are still arranged in an evenly spaced vertical layout, with the company logo neatly positioned near the bottom half. The font remains the same as previous models, but the colour is updated to match the phone's overall aesthetics. This approach isn't exclusive to Samsung, but I've noticed that most brands are opting for silver logos. While it creates a sleek, modern look, it can become monotonous for someone like me who tests smartphones for a living.

The Galaxy remains among the fewest smartphones in the segment to include three cameras on the back. That being said, the camera setup remains the same as last year. The triple camera setup is headlined by a 50MP primary camera with auto-focus but without OIS (optical image stabilisation) support. There's also an 8MP ultra-wide and a dedicated 2MP camera for macro shots. The front continues to include a 13MP, now in a hole-punch cutout.

This year, Samsung has tweaked storage configurations. The base model continues to offer 6GB RAM and 128GB storage but for a slightly increased price of Rs 19,999. The 8GB RAM option with the same storage, which I am reviewing, costs Rs 21,999. The new storage variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage costs Rs 24,999.

The Galaxy's M35 5G key highlight, like last year's Galaxy M34, is the battery. While it showcased decent performance in PCMark's battery test, lasting for nearly 14 hours.
