Nice mid-range phone. Haven't had it long enough to fully comment on quality or long term reliability. So far so good. One thing that potentially would have soured the experience - after turning in the trade-in, got an email stating a different model was received so my trade-in credit was going to be halved. What?! I had fortunately taken pictures of the trade-in phone next to the trade-in invoice before mailing it in. Without the pictures, suspect they would have been able to claim otherwise. Advise to everyone: take pictures of the trade-in before sending it in!
Callers would not hear any sounds on some calls. Also, the battery discharges very fast.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this phone!! It's screen is so detailed and it's features are cool. I love the adaptive battery options that allow the phone to stay charged all day while working (12 hours). I come home and still have a 50 percent of battery!!
Everything is good except for the weight. It is definitely heavier than any galaxy phones.

I have been a long time fan of the samsung galaxy series, the A series to be exact, and I have just recently upgraded to the A35 5g! So far I am very pleased with the ease of transferring ALL my data (accounts, texts, pic, preferences, etc)! It literally took less than 10 minutes from me opening the box, transfer my data and make a call! The smoothness of scrolling, the super sensitive touch display...I can't stop singing its praises! I highly, highly recommend getting this phone if you want a good Galaxy for a decent price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A35 5G - great value mid-range cellphone
on July 30, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For purposes I use cellphones, the A35 is a really good value and a meaningful upgrade to my previous device. As far as I know Galaxy AI isn't supported, but other than capacity and storage, the A35 provides most other services that are available in the S series. I am generally not a "brand loyalist", but Samsung has lately provided the device that supports what I need and want at the price I am willing to spend. My only wish was for a better battery - but that seems something that needs to improved regardless of brand and/or device.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works flawlessly sometimes it gets locked up and I have to do a top right three button hold to unlock the hardware? Just don't select download and reload your Operating System since most of the time it doesn't need that other than that I wish there were faster networking and processing speeds or a processor and faster Wi-Fi connectivity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The a35 had been a massive upgrade for me but one thing that I have not enjoyed is how soft the frame is It has taken a dent from small drop. Despite this every other aspect about the phone is amazing
