In Europe, Samsung released the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G A Series in March, but it just launched in the U.S. on April 18. The phone continues Samsung’s A-series lineup of budget phones, but this Samsung Galaxy A35 has a large, premium display and long battery life, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a new budget-friendly phone. And if you order it through Amazon, it costs $399.99 and includes a $40 Amazon gift card.
The Amazon gift card bundle runs until April 28 and may ship separately from the phone. (Why it’s not just a digital gift card, we may never know.) The Galaxy A35 comes unlocked and has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but you can always expand it up to 1TB with Micro SD cards.
What sets the Galaxy A35 apart from other budget phones at its price point is its large 6.6-inch Full High Definition (FHD) AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. For reference, the comparable Google Pixel 7a comes with a 6.1-inch FHD screen (Apple’s budget iPhone SE is just 4.7 inches). The Exynos 1380 processor, however, is not as high-powered as what you’d get from a higher-end phone—but it should still be enough for most people’s daily use.
With a 5,000mAh, the battery in the Galaxy A35 matches the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s battery size. According to Samsung, that should give you two days worth of juice with a single charge.
Be mindful that because this is Samsung’s A-series, it will lack some more premium features, like the high-end camera the S-series has, and the Galaxy AI features that launched in January—but there is a possibility that Samsung could bring the AI stuff to the Galaxy A35 later.
