After much anticipation, Samsung recently officially introduced the Galaxy A35 5G to Vietnamese users. As the name suggests, this is the successor to the Galaxy A34 5G, which users highly praised last year. So what improvements does this bring to continue the success of its predecessor? Let's explore with Mytour.vn!
Design
Galaxy A35 5G features a design language not much different from the previous generation and inherits many elements from the flagship line. This phone still sports an Infinity-O punch-hole on the front, with thin bezels all around, a plastic frame, and a triple rear camera system arranged vertically, without a surrounding frame.
However, the frame of the Galaxy A35 5G is now designed flat by Samsung, and the four corners are rounded quite strongly. This change makes the phone look more beautiful and premium while still providing a comfortable grip.
Moreover, the new Galaxy A-Series phone also adopts Samsung's new Key Island design with physical keys protruding from the frame like islands. The grip feeling on the Galaxy A35 5G is quite good, providing a luxurious and non-slip sensation.
Interestingly, Samsung has switched to using premium glass back for the Galaxy A35 5G this year, bringing a more upscale look to the product.
As such, the phone's back is protected by Gorilla Glass 7 with the ability to withstand up to 20 drops from a height of 1 meter and is less prone to scratches than the plastic material of the A54 5G. Samsung also applies a matte coating to the phone's rear, providing a grippy feel, less prone to dust, sweat, and fingerprint smudges. The phone also supports water resistance and dust resistance to IP67 standards.
The right side of the phone houses the power button and volume control, while the left side remains empty.
The external speaker and USB-C charging port are located at the bottom edge.
The top edge is where the SIM tray and microphone are housed.
Display
Not only does it have a premium design and a good hand feel, but the Galaxy A35 5G also scores with its high-quality display. The device uses a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED panel with Full-HD+ resolution, resulting in incredibly sharp images and text, with high detail. Furthermore, this screen has a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring ultra-smooth content display, especially when gaming.
Another factor that makes the screen impressive is the 84.8% screen-to-body ratio. This figure indicates that Samsung has effectively optimized the device's space by slimming down the bezels, enhancing display capabilities, creating an impressive borderless feel. This feature adds to the enjoyment of watching movies and playing games on the phone.
The Galaxy A35 5G also boasts a brightness of up to 1,000 nits, allowing outdoor use even in bright sunlight while maintaining clear content on the screen. The AMOLED panel delivers true-to-life, vibrant, and vivid colors, providing an excellent experience whether you're working, enjoying movies, or gaming on Samsung's new mid-range phone.
Specifications
The Galaxy A35 5G is powered by the Exynos 1380, the same chip we saw on the Galaxy A54 5G launched last year. It will be supported by 8GB of RAM, 8GB of virtual RAM, 128GB of internal storage, and users can expand storage capacity through a microSD card slot, up to 1TB.
With the aforementioned specifications, it's no surprise that the Galaxy A35 5G provides a smooth user experience. The device handles daily tasks such as web browsing, movie watching, photo capturing, and video recording with almost no lag or stutter. When testing it with some popular titles nowadays, the phone performs exceptionally well. Gaming experience is incredibly smooth, without any lag.
In terms of software, the Galaxy A35 5G comes pre-installed with the OneUI 6.1 user interface based on Android 14. While it lacks some of the exciting Galaxy AI features found in the flagship lineup, Samsung has introduced several new security layers for this mid-range phone. Specifically, the South Korean company has introduced the Samsung Knox Vault feature to protect users' sensitive data such as passwords and lock screens by hardware isolation between memory and chipset. Moreover, the Auto Blocker feature helps protect the device from harmful commands or applications that may compromise personal data.
Moreover, Samsung promises that the Galaxy A35 5G will receive 4 major Android updates as well as 5 years of security patches.
Camera
The Galaxy A35 5G features a triple rear camera system like its predecessor, including a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 5MP macro camera. The phone's front-facing sensor is a 13MP unit for selfies and video calls.
Initial experience shows that the main camera of the Galaxy A55 5G delivers quite impressive image quality with high detail, vibrant and vivid colors. Low-light photography or video recording of this phone is also good thanks to OIS and Video Digital Image Stabilization (VDIS) technologies. The auxiliary cameras are also extremely useful when you want to take group photos, landscapes, or capture subjects that are not visible to the naked eye.
Battery and Charging Technology
The Galaxy A35 5G continues to feature a 5,000mAh battery like its predecessor and supports 25W fast charging. This is quite an impressive figure compared to competitors in the same price range and can easily handle a full day of heavy usage.
Should You Buy the Galaxy A35 5G?
And that concludes the hands-on with the Galaxy A35 5G. Overall, the Galaxy A35 5G is one of the best mid-range smartphones available today. The product not only boasts a premium design but also features a good configuration, including a beautiful display, powerful and stable performance, versatile triple rear camera system, and long battery life. Therefore, this could be an excellent choice for those seeking a quality smartphone for both work and entertainment purposes.
