The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G is a mid-range Android-based smartphone developed and manufactured by Samsung Electronics as a part of its Galaxy A series. It was announced on March 11, 2024 alongside the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G.[1][2][3][4][5]
Specifications
Design
The front is made of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+, while the back uses glass with an unspecified protection. It also features IP67 dust and water resistance. The design of the Galaxy A35 5G is similar to the entire Galaxy Ax5 lineup, featuring a flat (plastic) frame and the Key Island. On the right side, there is the volume rocker and the power button.
Unlike its predecessors, the A35 has a hole punch display like A55 instead of a teardrop notch making it the first in the lineup to have this feature.

Hardware
Processor and Memory
The Galaxy A35 5G is equipped with the in-house Exynos 1380 SoC, which was first used on the Galaxy A54 5G. It is paired with 6 GB or 8GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB (both with UFS 2.1)[6] of internal storage. It supports expandable storage via microSD card.
Battery
The smartphone features a non-removable Li-Ion 5000 mAh battery with a 25 W fast charging support, similar with its predecessor.[7]
Camera
The Galaxy A35 5G has a triple rear camera setup (with the ultrawide and macro cameras carried over from its predecessor): 50 MP main (f/1.8, AF, OIS), 8 MP ultrawide (f/2.2), and 5 MP macro (f/2.4). The smartphone also features a front-facing 13 MP wide-angle camera with an f/2.2 aperture. Both main and front cameras can record video in 4K resolution at 30 fps.[7]
Ports and connectivity
On the bottom of the smartphone, there is a USB-C 2.0 port, two microphones and a loudspeaker. On the top, there is an additional microphone and, depending on the model, either a hybrid dual SIM tray (SIM 1 + SIM 2 or SIM 1 + microSD) or a single SIM tray.
Software
Alongside the Galaxy A15, Galaxy A25, and the Galaxy A55 5G, the device is slated to receive 4 OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates.[8] It also marks the last time these devices will receive this level of support, as its successors all had 6 years of support.[9]
