Alexander, 07 Aug 2024Hello I need information for this phone. Should I buy it? ... moreThe A35 is a good overall device. It doesn't excel in any particular area and is a jack of all trades. Though, you can consider it to be a leader in the segment with the long software support cycle. It also has a good repairability score. You can indeed consider it, but might also want to look for deals/discounts.

Alternatives you can consider are the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion (its SD 7s Gen 2 is comparable to the Exynos 1380) and OnePlus Nord 4 (which has an SOC that is much more powerful while also being more energy efficient). Those devices are also quite good, and they do better than the A35 on signal/network reception strength for black-spot areas thanks to the Qualcomm modems. However, the Edge 50 Fusion suffers from poor software support (typical of Motorola) and has a low repairability score. You should have no such issues with the Nord.

    Anonymous, 07 Aug 2024Maybe that "certain website" can explain why the ... moreI've found the article from that commenter you replied to:

    https://www.howtogeek.com/phones-keep-getting-bigger-and-its-our-fault/#the-supply-chain-favors-big-phones

    On the very bottom they said this:

    "This global supply chain has grown rather accustomed to making larger phones. Wherever you go in the world, phones have gotten bigger. There isn't a country where everyone is carrying around iPhone 12 Mini's and Asus Zenfone 9's (as impressive of a small phone as it was). Companies are accustomed to making components that fit in increasingly larger slabs.

    If you want to make a phone substantially smaller than what is mainstream, you need to place custom orders for parts. That means you're going to have to pay more than you would if you were using readily available components. This is a tough ask when you consider that smaller phones don't sell as well, and you are less likely to get a return on that investment. Adding insult to injury, if you do decide to make a boutique phone, it will also most likely consist of weaker processors and cameras. It will be much less capable of serving as an all-in-one device as a result."


    If it's true that "smaller phones don't sell as well", then how come the regular S24 and iPhone 15 managed to outsell their Plus versions? Clearly there's still demand for small phones and this article just ignored that.

              A while back in 2018, Samsung's sales for their budget phones were starting to slump because of overpriced phones with lackluster specs. So in 2019, they revamped their entire A-series lineup and reduced their prices in order to compete with Chinese companies like Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo. It paid off greatly at the end.

              Since those other companies won't even bother making at least one compact budget option, now I feel like it's the time for Samsung to give those rival companies a run for their money by offering one, with good specs and competitive pricing of course. But only time will tell for us customers, who practically have no control over companies' decisions.

In order to make those parts able to fit in a smaller phone, manufacturers like Samsung would have to make custom orders, which could lead to increased manufacturing costs. So a small phone might actually end up being more expensive to manufacture... at least that's what the writers thought in their article.

                Whether that's true or not, a Galaxy A35e and/or A55e with a 6.1 inch screen would certainly make Samsung more money than all these pointless clones like the M35, M55, C55, F55, and etcetera that are exclusive to a few countries only.

There... moreI remember switching from a Xiaomi Pocophone F1 to a Galaxy A8 2018 several years ago because I wanted the compact size. It was super nice to hold and easily pocketable, but too bad its performance was lackluster and it only had a measly 32GB of storage when other competitors had 64GB or even 128GB for less than the A8 2018's price.

                  After only 2 years of using the A8 2018, I decided to switch back to Xiaomi again because apps kept getting bigger in size and the Galaxy slowed down to a crawl.

                  So here's another homework for Samsung's book - stop offering only 128GB of storage as the base configuration when competitors have 256GB and even 512GB for less money than the A35.

What they don't mention is that these other manufacturers don't make a bunch of duplicate phones with different model names either. So Samsung obviously does things very differently than the others. And it's not about making more money. If it was, they'd make a compact budget phone for the millions who want one but can't afford the very expensive price of the compact S24 or S23.

There are far more people that would buy a compact mid-ranger (the size of the highly popular S24/S23) than those clamoring for a phone that's a clone of an existing A-series phone, just with a different name and one or two tiny differences. But they don't care. They're busy pumping out spin-offs like the A55/M55/F55/C55/M55s, or the A35/M35/F35... for crying out loud!

                                You can keep dreaming all you want. But I guarantee you, Samsung will never, ever, EVER, IN A MILLION YEARS, make a compact budget/midrange phone the size of the base S22, S23, and S24.

                                https://m.gsmarena.com/counterpoint_salesofgalaxy_s24_series_surpass_s23_globally_the_ultra_remains_the_most_popular_model-news-61952.php

                                See this article? The majority of people prefer big phones, and the sales split of the S24 Ultra compared to the base S24 reflect that - 52% and 27% respectively. And because the low-end/midrange market is filled with way more competition especially from Chinese brands, Samsung has no choice but to only make their budget phones big in order to compete.

                                Sorry bud, beggars can't be choosers.

                                  Meanwhile, the A54 is $300. For that price, I see no reason to pick the A54 over the A35 because both phones are incredibly similar, plus the A54 is a year older so it only has 4 years of software updates remaining as opposed to 5 years on the A35.

Well, it's fine - I'm not a power user, but I do like nice photos. But I can see some steps in the right direction from Samsung: premium materials, decent SoCs, some advancements in cameras. I really like OneUI - it's my second favorite after Pixel. Sad thing about Pixels is the price... Uuuuh... Pixel 8a is 450 Euros where I'm from and the A35 is just 250, so... yeah, quite a difference. I think I'm going to settle for a A15 4G and use the rest of the money to get drunk :))
