I'd like to buy Samsung phones. But here in my home country, I feel that for the specs available, Samsung phones are quite overpriced. So I have no choice but to use Redmi and Xiaomi phones,for their value for money.

    I have been gathering tests and videos across the internet, and while the Exynos 1380 on the A54 does tend to heat up, they have managed to optimize it on the A35, and the overall performance is comparable or better than the D1080.
    The same thing could be said for the Exynos 1480 on the A55 to be honest, it ran most task as fast or better than the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 while actually remained cooler and use less power than the Snapdragon.
    So while Exynos might have a bad reputation, that doesn't mean they won't improve. While the flagship could be lagging behind, I would say the midrange SoCs are on their way to catch up.

      GuyOfTheWeek, 22 Mar 2024I have been using my samsung A50s since the time it was ann... moreMy mom still uses a Redmi Note 4X from 2017 and my brother still uses a Realme 3 from 2019. Both's battery life still lasts more than 7 hours and both got no problem and no hiccups whatsoever even after many years since being released. Even with an outdated Android version, I've never heard my mother or my brother complain about "this app no ​​longer supports this x Android version", because, well, this is Android, not Apple, which drops support for older iOS version faster than the time it took Samsung to remove that hideous teardrop camera on the A34.

Of course, in the end they don't compare to actual cameras like the 102 MP Fujifilm GFX100.

I have seen so many people having old samsung phones lasting them years and no they aren't flagships, they are budget to mid range devices. Aside from it Durability of this phone is topnotch with Gorilla glass victus+ in front and ip67 rating and has better Longevity with more android os updates than it's competitors. Exynos 1480 hasn't shown to thermal throttle in normal usage, which means as long as you don't use it for what it's not meant to do it'll last you a long time.

              I've been saying the same thing too...Samsung has just been annoying for the past 2 to 4 years like bruh.
              Normally they were the types to invent and all which I loved but...*sigh*
              Boring Smartphones these days...They should just make only A5x and A7x series as their budget lineups

                Kromkez, 21 Mar 2024Pretty good specs for a midranger. idk if i should still bu... moreDepends on whether you can get the A34 at cheaper prices. For example in my country, A34 is now available at 40% cheaper than the launch price of the A35.

                Or you can wait 3 or 4 months for the A35 prices to go down. Samsung phone prices usually drop fast after launch from discounts and resellers competiting against each other.

                  Oh, yeah , that 102mp Fuji.

                    Don't say better durability, longevity or other jokes, even GSMArena is not sure that this phone will last for the next few years.

                    In more practical terms, the Galaxy A35 runs perfectly smoothly with no hiccups or slowdowns. We hope this remains the case with long-term use, too, since we've seen some of Samsung's mid-range and lower-end phones slow down with prolonged use.

                      rizki1, 21 Mar 2024How can microSD make a phone better overall? This Samsung h... moreTech Youtubers have always said it, Mega pixel count means nothing. The Redmi's camera is not impressive neither is the realme's even with a 200 MP main camera and a telephoto respectively. The A35 offers a more premium build quality, better longevity, better durability and a better display.

                        Invetor, 21 Mar 2024redmi note 13 pro 5G is much better than this (galaxy A35) ... more5 years of support is nothing, this phone sits at the bottom of the benchmark one of the weak phones. Not sure if it will last the next 2 years.

                        I liked last year's A34, what I don't like is the notch. Finally, after a long time the A30 series has punched a hole.. disappointed this is using last year Exynos.

                          redmi note 13 pro 5G is much better than this (galaxy A35) for its:

                          - SD 7s gen2
                          - 200MP main camera
                          - 67w charging
                          - lightweight body

                          the only good thing about galaxy A35 is its 4+5 years of software support.

                            The redmi is a far better option even though i like one ui much more

The smartphone market is a damn shame nowadays

                                  "The Galaxy A35 supports both DCI-P3 and sRGB color spaces."

                                  Don't bother testing the colour accuracy, GSMA. We don't care at all if screens have blue or magenta tints, etc.

                                    I don't get why A34 got a 4.3/5 rating while A35 only got 4.1. I can't see any worthwhile cons in your verdict

                                      A35 and A55 are way too overrated. Low storage options at high prices make them much worse than the Xiaomi, Nothing and other competitions. Along with the weaker and more prone to heating Exynos chips.

                                      Also, don't even know why anyone would buy the A25, the bezels look awful and look like a phone from 2020. It's clear that they want to separate the A series from their flagship phones, making them look much worse in comparison.

                                        6gb of ram at this price range in 2024.....

                                        Also, maybe its just me but i am getting sick of Samsung lately.

                                        Same design everywhere, barely any changes/improvements every year, way overpriced day one, and Exynos everywhere.

                                        Does Samsung even care anymore??
