Our opinion
Every manufacturer deploys a range of smartphones for every type of consumer, and Samsung, an expert in the high-end segment, makes no bones about it, offering a range more affordable than its most advanced models, without skimping too much on quality. The Galaxy A35 is thus interesting in more ways than one, with some fine compromises.
The design of the Galaxy A35 is very classic, but also takes up the codes of Samsung's top-of-the-range models, which is pleasing, as we find our bearings in terms of ergonomics. The back is made of glass, a pleasant surprise in this price range, but the edges are made of polycarbonate, which reduces the smartphone's weight. Small hands won't be too bothered by the device's contained size, the fingerprint reader proves effective and the presence of a micro-SD port is welcome. IP67 certification protects against dust and water splashes, and the overall connectivity is well supplied and up to date.
The screen, with its generous 6.6-inch diagonal, is of very good quality, in line with what the Korean manufacturer generally offers. Well-defined, with 2340 by 1080 pixels for comfortable reading, the slab also boasts a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, which is far from unpleasant. Brightness is decent, and will suffice in most situations, despite marked reflections in bright sunlight. Infinite contrast is also part of the equation. Faithful color rendition requires a little trickery in the settings, but it pays off.
Power-wise, the Galaxy A35 comes through with flying colors, with a perfectly respectable processor that delivers a good user experience for the most common uses. Games will also run smoothly, at the cost of a few concessions in graphic detail, but nothing to worry about.
Although the Galaxy A35 has three sensors, we can already put aside the macro lens, which is of little interest. The main sensor, which can go up to 50 megapixels, offers images by default with 12.5 million pixels. The rendering lacks a little contrast, but the details are there and you can enjoy the shot: darkness affects the photos with an orange haze, but the whole remains usable. The 50 megapixel mode is particularly useful for lossless cropping. The ultra-wide-angle module delivers decent images in the center, but the edges deteriorate in terms of blur and also distortion. In the dark, however, shots are not usable. The 13-megapixel sensor on the front offers decent-quality selfies. Portrait mode sometimes tends to have a heavy hand with effects, but remains effective. Video capture is quite satisfactory, with correct stabilization and fluid rendering.
Although fast recharging is not included (it takes almost an hour and a half to fully recharge the device), Samsung has generally ensured autonomy, with a day's use before having to think about recharging.
