Samsung Galaxy A35 review: Samsung has started the year 2024 by gaining a lot of traction with the outstanding Samsung Galaxy S24 series and the introduction of Galaxy AI features. While these new premium smartphones have excited everyone with several features, the company has not looked to rest on its laurels and has now announced the new mid-range A-series smartphones to further sway its customers. Yes, Samsung has launched two new smartphones - the Galaxy A35 and the Galaxy A55. They pack quite a few upgrades from their predecessors.

Samsung's A-series smartphones gained popularity due to their premium offerings at a very reasonable price. On the other hand, the company gets to test its in-house Exynos processors within this range. This year, with the Galaxy S24 device, Samsung has significantly improved its performance with the Exynos 2400 chipset. But, do these mid-range devices too come with noticeable performance upgrades?

I used the new Samsung Galaxy A35 smartphone for a week to check if it does so or not. While there is no comparison between the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy A35, however, recently there are several new mid-range smartphones which have emerged under this segment such as the Poco X6 Pro, Nothing Phone 2a, Honor X9b, and more to provide tough competition. Let's have a look at what the Samsung Galaxy A35 has in store for the users.

For starters, the Samsung Galaxy A35 is visually appealing with its shiny glass back, massive-looking camera sensors, and plastic frame. Despite its resemblance to its predecessor, its design does provide a premium look and feel. On the front, the smartphone has received Gorilla Glass Victus+ ( which is an upgrade) and a thick layer of bezels which can also be seen in the Galaxy A34 smartphone. Even with a glass finish, the smartphone does not attract dust or fingerprints. Additionally, it is not slippery so you may not have to carry a phone case. It may look big and bulky the first time, but it is quite a lightweight device.
