Summer may be coming to an end, but it looks like Samsung’s great phone sales are just around the corner. Amazon cuts the price of the SIM-free Samsung Galaxy A35 5G by 19%a record saving of $75 on a fantastic mid-range smartphone. This unlocked smartphone comes with 128GB of storage, a bright 6.6″ display, and front and rear cameras (13MP and 50MP respectively). Additionally, this A-series Galaxy smartphone comes with 6GB of RAM, an Exynos 1380 processor, and charging speeds of up to 25W.
✅Recommended if: I like my other Samsung Galaxy phones and I have a reasonable budget. A phone with water and dust resistance is a priority. I want something with multi-year updates.
❌Skip this deal if: If you have a bit more cash to spare and want to upgrade to Samsung’s S series, if you prefer something with more than 6GB of RAM, or if you’re looking for a phone with a slightly more adventurous design.
While the best Android smartphone category is typically reserved for Samsung’s premium-level S lineup, the A-series offers great performance at a price point that’s a bit more affordable for most people. From the A35’s 50MP main camera to its good-looking and bright 6.6-inch screen, this is definitely a mid-range budget-friendly smartphone that can compete well with some of its more expensive competitors. The phone also comes with 128GB of storage, an IP67 water- and dust-resistant rating, and the inclusion of Samsung Knox.
It also comes with four years of Android updates and five years of security patches, so the A35 should last you a while without becoming outdated. Add in 25W charging and a 5,000mAh battery, and you have a pretty robust and somewhat future-proof smartphone.
The difference between the Samsung Galaxy A35 and A55 is that the higher-end model has a bit more RAM, a slightly better processor, and a slightly better rear camera, but most consumers may not notice the increased performance of the 55 model. With an additional $75 discount off the A35, it’s a pretty good deal.
