    I think the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is a very solid choice here, for around the same price or cheaper if you search, actually €280 8/256 in this moment from Spain with a promotion. It has a better Soc, better IP68, better screen dolby vision, equally good cameras and arguably better in some aspects, 120W fast charge etc

    And for a bit more, €475 you can get a S23FE that leaves the A35 in the dust, if you must stay with Samsung. The A35 must come down to at least €299 to be competitive. Also A55 must come down in price, both overpriced.

      Samoderzhets , 22 Mar 2024It's the same phone more or less A54 had storage issue, if they upgrade in this model definetely that good reason to consider A35 over A54.

Due to software or hardware issues a smartphone can stop working and only solution is flash stock rom which erases all previous data from internal storage. I had such issue in 2020 but luckily my default media storage was my SD card so service centre removed the SD card before flashing & my data remains safe.

            Remember Samsung will have big sale discounts on these new A phones in a month or two. If you like them for goodness sake don't pay full price!

              Full resolution, 22 Mar 2024Very thanks for full resolution 50MPixel photos.I know right! I'm glad that they started including them again in their reviews cz I for one is someone who benefits massively from that high res mode.

                Anonymous, 22 Mar 2024After having all my photos corrupted on the SD card on my o... moreWell, the reverse of your experience happened to me. My old Android started to bootloop suddenly and just died, nothing was recoverable from the internal memory and lost all the photos and documents that were in it (and no I'm NOT a fan of cloud storage options where I'm not in complete control of my data storage or access). But I had a very good micro sd card which I bought from a reputed store (a V30 standard SanDisk), and only the photos and documents I backed up to that were saved that day.

                So two things.
                1. Bashing on micro sd cards is not the way forward. It remains an invaluable specification for many smartphone users, especially outside of the US amd continental Europe where data plans are still very expensive (and also slow).
                Having the option to have an SD card never hurts anyone, just like having the ability for dual sim card usage...

                2. Buy memory cards ONLY from reputed stores and brands and most importantly, find the card specification that suits your smartphone!

                Many people just insert a class 10 card and try to transfer/ record 4k directly onto it and wonder why it failed.

                Now I'm filly aware this isn't what happened to you but the takeaway is to buy a good genuine card that suits the bare minimum spec needed for your device.

                Just my two cents....

                  Super Android 22, 22 Mar 2024Well this phone can't record 8k video (which is pointl... moreAfter having all my photos corrupted on the SD card on my old phone, I‘d rather not use that for storage and I guess 98% of people wouldn’t want to use it either. And it’s really just a bandaid solution when the real solution is to provide enough options for internal storage (at least a 256GB option and better a 512GB option as well) at prices that are not ripoff.

                    AnonF-1006353, 22 Mar 2024Somewhere you gotta store all these 200MP pictures, raw fil... moreWell this phone can't record 8k video (which is pointless unless you have like a £4000 8k tv) or take 200mp pics (again pointless, i use an app let lets me do 4k 80mbps recordings on my find x5 and just waste) or output high looseless FLAC audio.

                    Youre looking at £80 for 1tb MicroSD cards on deal, price is £100 on the low, £130 on the higher end. Can grab a portable SSD for about £45-55 for 1tb, about £80-100 for 2tb (throw everything on that and then have all the free space on your device for when you're out). I do guess at this price it is just nice to have the option but plenty of ways (and cheaper) round the issue.

                      Photocameras do correctly.
                      Then .....

                      Now tell me:

                      A7s3 12mp, A9iii 24mp, a7 iv 33mp and a7r5 61mp.
                      Which one is considered to provide photos with highest quality?

                        rizki1, 21 Mar 2024How can microSD make a phone better overall? This Samsung h... moreSomewhere you gotta store all these 200MP pictures, raw files, 8k video and hi-res flac files you know.. You can easily put a 1TB microSD in that samsung for just 70 bucks and nearly never run out of storage for simple media files. While some realmes and xiaomis won't even offer 1TB internal storage options.

                        It's not about having one or the other by the way. Having all options in one phone would be the goat, from periscope to 200mp to microSD

                              if this A35 equipped with SD860.. it will have 630k+ antutu score plus better performance than a34 last yr.. Exynos1380 scores only 580k+ so if u have seen a34 better to buy it before its too late
