I like that samsung is streamlining their A series. Really helps get rid of the unnecessary overlaps like you mentioned. The A70's were likely too close to the S FE, so that was killed off. As for the A40's, it might be due to the overlaps between the A30's and A50's but could also be due to the superstition of "four" sounding like "death" in korean
Oh interesting! I didn’t know about the “four” deal. But I totally agree - too much overlap. A15, A35, A55 and S24/S24+ would be more than fine. Anything cheaper is crap, and the FE I think is unnecessary now
@@TechDailyThe "four" thing was pretty common in east asia some decades ago but nowadays most ppl don't really seem to care anymore lol so its more likely a business decision i think
The S2x FE series is the new A7x series, so really only the branding strategy changed. My problem with the whole FE lineup is that pricing on FE phones doesn't make any sense since you can buy base non-FE S models like S24 for the release price of FE S phones like S24 FE because FE models are released later and S models have had constant price drops by then. You really should buy FE models one year after their release, since after that they have lost half of their price compared to their MSRP and then they might be competitive again.
got myself an A55 2 months ago here in Germany and its honestly all the phone you could ever want, doesnt feel like a downgrade compared to a twice as expensive s24 in terms of the user experience, although samsung thought of that and gave it those hideous bezels, also its obscenely large and heavy compared to the s-series
I have an a55 right here and its actually holding up really solid from battery to better tempeture stability and more on. And the new build makes it feel like a brand new S24. Great video and cant wait to see what you post next :)
I really wanted an A55 this year and being in Canada was a not an option for purchase. Thanks for the snub Samsung, i just pre ordered a brand spanking new Google Pixel 9xl 512gb. You win Samsung, i didn't buy an A55 😮
Samsung made a mistake not giving the US the A55. The A series buyers are not buying the FE. My brother has an A53. He has already said he won't buy an FE. He is going to wait another year. Samsung lost a sale this year. My wife has the A54, and she is one who would get the A35 if she needed a phone. She doesn't really care.
Exactly. Basically last years phone. The A54 is a great phone, but the A54 and A35 are not the A55, which should be offered in the US. I may put my brother on a One Plus 12R.
@@markmandelstamm2866 samsung didn't put a55 on American market because of your refurbished market its cheap. you can get a better phone for 400 dollars that's why they didn't put a55 it wouldn't sell that well cuz it would not be cheap.
The A53 and A54 were great sellers in the US. The A55 would have been, too. Samsung cares less about the refurbished market. A very small minority buy used phones.
I think the main problem with the S series is that the Ultra is the only one really worth buying, but it’s prohibitively expensive for a lot of consumers.
I somewhat agree but also disagree at the same time. Yes, streamlining does make sense. Less options, easier to choose, same overall performance for the average consumer. Where I disagree is that, people just aren't buying phone yearly, like, at all. New phone, new features, doesn't make much of a difference. Couple of years ago, flagships received 2-3 years of OS updates, and the mid range got 1-2. Phones didn't last as long in terms of performance or durability. Phones are now stronger, faster, and capable of 4-7 years of os updates for flagships. And 3-5 on budget phones. People just aren't interested in buying a phone every year. That's an Apple thing. I have an S22 and an S23 Ultra. I'm not buying another phone for at least another 3-4 years. I don't know. Maybe that's just me.
The processor is the biggest reason to avoid getting this phone. The 1480 on the A55 is way better than this. I'm sure they'll put the 1480 in the A36 and pretty much give it the same specs as the A35 besides that. That would be a really good phone.
Exactly A55 is Amazing, I brought my mother the A54 last year Camera and SoC is good enough for Everything most people need it for day to day A Flagship is only worth it for Gaming or Specific Camera Uses But A55 is powerful enough with good enough Software and Hardware for at least the next 3 to 4 years with few issues, Also Flagships outside Apple all loose at least 1/2 their value in 12 to 18 months and hardware is not worth the 2 to 4 times more the price
@@DarthAwar yeah for day to day use the 1380 is fine, but it used to really frustrate me when I would do video editing in my phone. Video editing is fine with the 1480 and it doesn't heat up at all. The 1380 didn't have any heating issues but it would heat up from time to time. The 1480 doesn't heat up at all. Samsung finally made a great Exynos processor after all these years. The 1480 is also more battery efficient.
@@TechDaily I can't believe I'm even using an Exynos processor when I use the 1480. No heating issues, battery efficient, no lag, etc. It's basically as good as a Snapdragon now.
@@afanasibushmanov7463 I will tell you a secret they finally added vapour chamber cooling too Most of the Devices rather than just thermal pad's and aluminium foil
NOTE 9 ❤ released in 2018 was the awesomest! It had a expandable card slot storage, 3.5 jack, and a stylus all inside a thin body panel. The 2018 Note 9 had an on board 512gb storage if you want. Soooo, how did Samsung do that back in 2018? Flagship phones are missing these essentials. I had the S24 Ultra ordered and on its way. Then I changed my mind.
I've stuck to my A52 because Samsung has just decided to not include headphone jacks anymore. As a professional captioner and transcriber who works on mobile quite often, that's a deal-breaker right there. USB-C headphones aren't as good because devices keep trying to optimize energy consumption by cutting off power to the USB-C port when there's no audio playing, and that means there is a slight audio skip when you suddenly press the play button. I'd love to see them bring back headphone jacks.
Awesome TD《☆》👍🏾🔔🤳I'm looking at getting an A35. I'm still using my S7 for most stuff. I have an S20FE Unlocked from Amazon. It doesn't Stream YT videos Very well so I just use it for the better camera occasionally which really isn't much better & doesn't offer much Editing capabilities. I see the A35 has the ability to Stitch Videos together & that sounds Awesome. My Laptop needs a HardDrive & it's a Windows 7 version. I don't really want to edit but if it will help my videos to suck less then I'll do some editing. Hopefully don't have to download any Free Editing tools. Nice Review Brother✌🏼😎☯️
My biggest gripe with the a series is the software features Samsung decided they don't deserve. Dex I can somewhat understand, but photography features like the remote shutter with the Galaxy watch and the expert raw app I don't think need a flagship processor to run. Real annoying, since I would be fine with the performance that the a35 has to offer. And micro SD support is a great bonus that possibly helps performance (Oneui is a pretty thick software skin, so it should benefit from some freed up storage space)
I have had a A35 for a week now and honestly it's been rather good I don't really have any complaints aside I was very unlucky and got one with a dead pixel on the display but other than that it's been a fast phone for everything I use it for and backed by 4 years of software updates is amazing I would of gotten a older S series phone but I aint gonna risk buying refurbished and the S24 is way too overpriced and is unnecessary unless you're a gamer or something but I own a gaming PC to play games not use a phone for that.
@alextraynor3223 I bought my mum a Oppo A78 with the same features but it's an entry level phone. The camera is rather average performance but every day use is a breeze
I have this phone in 8gb RAM, 256gb spec. The processor is from the A54. I was using a S10+ prior. The speed of my A35 8gb feels very close to the S10+ in power saving mode. It is fine. Feels good quality materials, solid & with a superb screen. SD card slot a bonus.
Im not a power user, currently looking to get off my parents phone plan and on my own the A35 is perfect. Its a phone below 1000 dollars, something I can buy outright, its backed by a reptuable company, and will have security and software updates. Yea I COULD get an older S23 but I also want something new and that I own, not someone elses turn in.
Currently using and watching on the A35 5g, a major upgrade over my previous A13 5g, which has shown its age lately. The chip inside performs relatively well and does just about everything I ask it to do. Like others I was also skeptical of the Exynos chip inside but ive been rather impressed.
I think there are 3 phones in the A series that Samsung shouldn't have released; the A15 4G, A25 5G and A35 5G. The A35 and A25 are just, on one hand improved and on the other hand downgraded versions of the A54 and A53 respectively, same chipsets. Too many unnecessary phones. I'm not even sure the FE series is that necessary anymore. Good video!!
I personally think it's good that the features of the higher end models are trickling down to the lower end models for cheaper. As for the A25, A35, and A55, the phones are a little too close from one tier to the next. So much that the major upgrade is the chipset (and probably the cameras) if you're moving from A1x to A2x or A2x to A3x or A3x to A5x.
I dont get the exynoss hate. Obviously sure for a flagship you don't want one I understand that. But on a midrange jts perfectly acceptable. Its not meant to blow the doors off with performance. But more about consistency. I had an A51 for 3 years and it did have performance issues. But not much. In fact most of the hits were from the software being too much for the phone. 4 years ago i wouldbe said tbat exynoss is terrible. But recently their midrange chips have gotten pretty good. Yes its not a snapdragon. But its better than a midrange demesity chip in performance. Plus it helps keep costs lower and allows for more money to be used for cameras or battery life. So im all for it
I had a J7 2016 with an Exynos 7870 and the performance and thermals were pretty good, I could throw almost anything and the phone would barely heat up, but that was an old ass midrange phone.
People hate on it because they see other people hating. A lot of them have never used a phone with a exynos chip in it. They just repeat whatever they see somebody else on the internet say
@@NowKissMyChucks The Exynos 990 was a definite stinker(Snapdragon 888 and 8 Gen 1 performed similar to the Exynos 2100 and 2200), other Exynos chips didn't fall as much behind compared to their Snapdragon variants when it came to flagships. And it midrange it took them until the A55(with the Exynos 1480) to surpass the A52s(with the Snapdragon 778G) in performance But coming from an Exynos 990 S20 FE many games throttle a lot and run quite poorly and tends to heat up a lot.
@astroidexadam5976 I remember using the Galaxy a53, which was a lag fest. You could hardly do anything with that phone. But I fell like the galaxy a54, ,a35 and of course the a55 are all good phones.
Thanks for the review man! I was just about to cough up madd dough for a s23. I really didnt wanna do it just waited 2 days looked online n bamm! Ill be happy with this cell for half the price! Good job Keep it up!
Looks like a perfect phone for like 90%+ of the people, myself included. And for the price (at the moment ~ 260 euro here in Europe) it's a great deal.
Samsung is banking on their A line up this year because they know even less people can afford to spend a grand on an S series phone due to their financial situation.
Just bought the a35. My S22Ultra developed a few green and pink lines. Repair cost is close to $200! Will never buy an Ultra phone again. Photos come out as good as you take them. Play with the controls and you get a decent output. Anyway, I and most of us, I presume, don’t go for competition with smartphone cameras. So, value for money counts at 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
They might have changed their mind I just bought an A55 on Amazon. And aside from replacing my 10 year old sim that no longer supports 5G, it works flawlessly.
I bought the A34 last year. No problems and do everything what I want to do. The A35 and even the A55 looks so nice tho. Is it worth the upgrade to either devices?
Using my A34 right now. Got the circle to search update 3 days ago. I'm really happy with the phone. Will probably use it up until the one UI 9 update. Great phone!
I am still rocking my LG V60 headphone jack, SD card slot, 256gb onboard memory, 8gb ram she is old but i dont see the use to buy these new phones. Many people in my country know what a Samsung looks like from the back but when they see my LG they curious
I'm from South Africa and luckily, we get the entire A-series every year. I had the A53 and I regretted buying it literally an hour later. Camera took way too long to snap a pic and at night time, useless! I sold it, got myself the A54 and the difference were like day & night! The A55 didn't bring much to the table so let's see what the A56 will offer. The FE-series are just too expensive. You could buy 2x A54's for the price of just one S23 FE. Now, the S23 FE is the same price as an A54 and cheaper than the A55! The S24 FE looks to be another expensive phone with zero SD slot...and I need an SD slot!!
The problem is they're trying to appeal to every possible market, adding unnecessary phones that overlap each other. In some markets, there is the F series and M series thus making 52 models in a year.
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 The S25 Ultra might have a similar design with a boxy yet comfortable shape. I was thinking something along the lines of the Note10 Lite.
The A series phone don't get the AI features that are on the S series phones. Samsung just recently added Circle to Search to the A34, A35, A54 and A55
I would buy the A55 more because it has a micro sd card (up to 1 TB), A35 not as spec up. A55 a cheap Phone at a cheaper plan for me, just me looking for a bargain.
In my country we have the a15 for 150 dollars, the a25 for 200 dollars, a35 for 230 dollars, m35 256gb for 215 dollars, a55 for 299 dollars, s23 fe for 379 dollars. All new phones with chargers included in the box. We also have the a05s, a05 for under 120 dollars. Plus the m15 and m55
The Moto edge 2024 is better in almost every aspect besides the updates but I don't really care about that! The screen, chip, battery, build, and ROM are all better on the moto!
@@TechDaily nice the stylus and edge 2024 both are good but the moto edge is slightly better due to a superior chip and a OLED screen with gorilla 🦍 glass and aluminum sides! Its ip68 also and has dual speakers 70w charging and a optical fingerprint sensor!
I replaced (literally exchanged) my 3.5 year old A52 with A35 and it feels like a worthy successor for next few years. It has all features (and lack of 3.5 mm audio port) as S series except DeX and wireless charging. In India we do have the option of A55 - but it is just additional money for nearly nothing. I joked to my wife after ordering that Samsung launched A55 to sell more A35.
Great video, as always. I've been thinking about buying this to replace my S22. It's sitting at $324 at Best Buy right now. Do you think I should just stick with the S22 or pick this up?
If this is all you can afford it's a decent choice, however I'm tired of budget android phones and want to go back to a better phone so I'm going to save for a used iPhone. I'd highly recommend that
I still say Exynos is the reason I won't buy it , but folks who want to buy it probably just want a flagship like experience but at a reasonable price. It's not the One plus or Xiaomi like " feel premium " with " deceptive materials and good specs with more sales or enthusiast branding " but A35 actually gives you less specs and performance than cheap Tecnos , Infinix and even OP/Xiaomi. But I'm sure if you like Samsung and premium like exp , some will enjoy this one. And specially software updates and less bloat.
I've been using my Motorola G8 Power (2020) for four years now. I was wondering if this would be a good upgrade especially in terms of overall performance, display and battery life. How does it compare to the Moto G Power 2024? I checked for the A55 for it's only available as an international version on Amazon.
I Have the A54 from last year and it has been real nice , but is it worth the upgrade to this year's A55 ? And out of curiosity, in terms of optimization and Storage Type since both A54 and A35 use the same processor , which is better for gaming and heavy performance so far ??
Samsung doesn’t make big discounts on their A series phones while S23 FE was on sale for 400 dollars in the US on Black Friday. Upcoming Samsung S24 FE may be on sale as well on Black Friday for the price which is pretty close to the price of A35/55. New S24 FE should be a hit if Samsung gives it Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 ( TSMC chip).
a few months ago i bought a refurbished A54 from ebay to use as a backup phone. Besides the long bootup time it's a pretty solid phone, but on the other hand a friend gave me his old Note 9 last week and the Note 9 is faster and snappier then the A54 which is pretty crazy for a 6yr old phone. I really wanted to get a A55 but tbh it was too expensive for a backup phone.
@@TechDailyas much as I love my s series phone (s24 snapdragon) the A5x lineup offered tremendous value… but the target market of an A5x wouldn’t buy an s series
I think it's also when a flagship buyer buys a phone, either completely new or as a trade in, they keep it for longer because of the software/firmware support.
Transistor at 3nm/4nm that what is limiting the progress of the smartphones. They reached the minimum possible? That means in the future flagship phone and middle segment phone are going to share many similarities. Also you will be able to keep the same phone for 5 solides years. Example my old Samsung A5 2017 did last for about 2 years before it start to struggle, then after 5 years it was a pain to use. Now I'm using the a71 from year 2019 and it is still running just fine in 2024. overall it is ok for me.
I had the S21FE and now the S24, and I cannot see major differences. It is just more refined, better haptics and the display is something out of comparison indeed. But the rest is quite the same lol
@@NowKissMyChucks thanks bud, I guess I wasn't aware that most people are ignorant when it comes to phones. Most people who know nothing about phones don't care about fat bezels. All people see is the Samsung name and think to themselves " oouu a Samsung" that is the only reason they sell so well.
@@TechDaily yeah I would have to agree. In my experience 90% didn't care or know what bezels are. Then when I explain what they are you see the reality creep across their faces. Then all of the sudden they don't want the phone with giant bezels.
In my region (middle east) we have the a55 , which is 50$ more than the a35 , for a better camera and one gen higher chipset and even more upgrades that i cant recall , its a no brainer to get the a55
i like the streamlining of the A series, but i feel like they should keep the ultra budget 1X series, as well as the 3X series and 5X series. i don’t see a lot of people who have/ have been sticking to the A series getting the FE phones.
Having the same chipset and one year apart, would you think or agree that the A35's cameras are better than the older A54 in terms of colour accuracy, skin tones, selfies, low light, app loading, video stabilisation and dynamic range overall?
That is great that it will get updated to Android 18 because the A32 only received 2 major Android updates. Also, the A32 5g had a poorer screen then the A32 4g. Samsung had sacrificed the screen on the 5G model to reduce costs. I'm glad that on the A35 they don't do that anymore. Starting the A34 last year they dropped they head phone jack copying Apple
Honestly the better buy is probably the s23 renewed (US market) but I know there are things about that phone people dislike but overall its miles better.
@@TechDaily have you seen the price on the s22? Its wild that its already at 240 in the renewed market. The only real major problem is the battery life 2 years later for sure.
I'm sorry but that phone looks terrible. I don't like that screen with those thick bezels. All of Samsung's phones after the 20 series are not of interest. I bought a S20+ recently that's wayyy better than this phone lol nice curved screen with barely much bezels so better viewing experience and still more powerful than this and better cameras, no exynos, and no stupid AI crap they're trying to push on us. I don't care for the updates either just throwing that out there before those people comment about it.
Curves on a phone is really outdated, it's hard to keep a nice screen protector on it or get a decent case (I'm now experiencing this with my OnePlus 12)
@@NowKissMyChucks That's you're opinion. Nothing is outdated in my world lol the viewing experience is better on curved screens and I don't have an issue with screen protectors, I just use the film ones not glass and that's good. Just get whatever fits to your likings. I like older phones because they were built better and I like ny SD card support. All of these android phones nowadays like the one you have now One Plus are just wannabe iPhones now. Same with Samsung, that's why I'm stuck with their older phones until I find a better company to stick with.
The reason why they're slowing down the amount of A series phones is probably due to unsold stock. There's a LOT of unsold a03's and a54's at retailers in the US.
To be fair the A03s are utter ass. I happened to get my hands on one a year or so ago (thankfully I had the much better A13 5G) but man, using it for a bit was such a painful experience.
Samsung A35 has one of the betsmidrange cameras as you need to light down a bit thw Pictures if not in good light to get the best results! Its not the best of the best but jts great quallity!
I think the moto g stylus 2024 is the best deal. Better specs, brighter screen with higher refresh rate and has expandable storage and headphone jack. I used Samsung for almost 7 years and now Motorola has caught up and cost less.
@@naxyan1193considering the price of a35 which is a bit less than the a55, I would rather spend a bit more for a better processor which has better temperature stability, features and so on
The cameras are not even close nor the performance. Though I use an A34 and an S-series phone as well, the S-series phone just has a charm the A-series lacks. But the A-series make a load of sense for the emerging markets like India a pretty much countries in those regions. Here in the West, we are mostly superficial and need the validation of saying we use a "certain" type or brand of phone.
If Samsung is so concerned about their flagship phones selling, they need to bring back the headphone jack and microSD card slot. This is one of the reasons why the A series is selling well. I guess TM Roh cannot take a hint.
in my country, new $500+ phones don't sell well, people prefer to buy a refurbished or used S22 ultra for $550 dollar rather than buying a new phone at the same price, because high end phones now days are so good due to competition, you don't need to buy a new one each one, two or even three years, so imagine if mid range phones get close to the specs of the high end, recession is inevitable in phones market!
Hey just wanna know that my a20 is more powerful than my Dad's A12. Even tho it is 3gb ram ,32gb storage, play casual games and do task in what i want to. 4 hours battery after 4.5 hours of use
can someone please explain why the thin bezels are so important, i mean they look ok on this phone, this just my personal opinion but its a bit of a nit pick

I somewhat agree but also disagree at the same time. Yes, streamlining does make sense. Less options, easier to choose, same overall performance for the average consumer. Where I disagree is that, people just aren't buying phone yearly, like, at all. New phone, new features, doesn't make much of a difference.
Couple of years ago, flagships received 2-3 years of OS updates, and the mid range got 1-2. Phones didn't last as long in terms of performance or durability. Phones are now stronger, faster, and capable of 4-7 years of os updates for flagships. And 3-5 on budget phones. People just aren't interested in buying a phone every year. That's an Apple thing. I have an S22 and an S23 Ultra. I'm not buying another phone for at least another 3-4 years. I don't know. Maybe that's just me.
The processor is the biggest reason to avoid getting this phone. The 1480 on the A55 is way better than this. I'm sure they'll put the 1480 in the A36 and pretty much give it the same specs as the A35 besides that. That would be a really good phone.
Exactly A55 is Amazing, I brought my mother the A54 last year Camera and SoC is good enough for Everything most people need it for day to day A Flagship is only worth it for Gaming or Specific Camera Uses
But A55 is powerful enough with good enough Software and Hardware for at least the next 3 to 4 years with few issues, Also Flagships outside Apple all loose at least 1/2 their value in 12 to 18 months and hardware is not worth the 2 to 4 times more the price
I agree with that…I think the 1480 will end up in a lot of phones the next few years
@@DarthAwar yeah for day to day use the 1380 is fine, but it used to really frustrate me when I would do video editing in my phone. Video editing is fine with the 1480 and it doesn't heat up at all. The 1380 didn't have any heating issues but it would heat up from time to time. The 1480 doesn't heat up at all. Samsung finally made a great Exynos processor after all these years. The 1480 is also more battery efficient.
@@TechDaily I can't believe I'm even using an Exynos processor when I use the 1480. No heating issues, battery efficient, no lag, etc. It's basically as good as a Snapdragon now.
@@afanasibushmanov7463 I will tell you a secret they finally added vapour chamber cooling too Most of the Devices rather than just thermal pad's and aluminium foil
NOTE 9 ❤
released in 2018 was the awesomest!
It had a expandable card slot storage, 3.5 jack, and a stylus all inside a thin body panel. The 2018 Note 9 had an on board 512gb storage if you want.
Soooo, how did Samsung do that back in 2018?
Flagship phones are missing these essentials.
I had the S24 Ultra ordered and on its way. Then I changed my mind.
The A35 has a 5000mah battery with good battery life. Supports face detection, usb-c headphones and has a 50mp rear camera
Samsung is like Motorola they got tons of phones that I never even heard of
Got my A54 a week after they launched the 35 and 35 and I'm so happy because it was dirt cheap and is as efficient as this one but cheaper
I've stuck to my A52 because Samsung has just decided to not include headphone jacks anymore.
As a professional captioner and transcriber who works on mobile quite often, that's a deal-breaker right there.
USB-C headphones aren't as good because devices keep trying to optimize energy consumption by cutting off power to the USB-C port when there's no audio playing, and that means there is a slight audio skip when you suddenly press the play button.
I'd love to see them bring back headphone jacks.
I've just changed from iPhone 11 to an A15 and love it ❤
Awesome TD《☆》👍🏾🔔🤳I'm looking at getting an A35. I'm still using my S7 for most stuff. I have an S20FE Unlocked from Amazon. It doesn't Stream YT videos Very well so I just use it for the better camera occasionally which really isn't much better & doesn't offer much Editing capabilities. I see the A35 has the ability to Stitch Videos together & that sounds Awesome. My Laptop needs a HardDrive & it's a Windows 7 version. I don't really want to edit but if it will help my videos to suck less then I'll do some editing. Hopefully don't have to download any Free Editing tools. Nice Review Brother✌🏼😎☯️
My biggest gripe with the a series is the software features Samsung decided they don't deserve. Dex I can somewhat understand, but photography features like the remote shutter with the Galaxy watch and the expert raw app I don't think need a flagship processor to run. Real annoying, since I would be fine with the performance that the a35 has to offer. And micro SD support is a great bonus that possibly helps performance (Oneui is a pretty thick software skin, so it should benefit from some freed up storage space)
I have had a A35 for a week now and honestly it's been rather good I don't really have any complaints aside I was very unlucky and got one with a dead pixel on the display but other than that it's been a fast phone for everything I use it for and backed by 4 years of software updates is amazing I would of gotten a older S series phone but I aint gonna risk buying refurbished and the S24 is way too overpriced and is unnecessary unless you're a gamer or something but I own a gaming PC to play games not use a phone for that.
If the S24 had a headphone jack , triple card tray ( 2 x sim, 1 sd card) : I would rush out and buy it . But I bought the A35 and I'm happy with it .
Same. Dod you find a phone with the same features?
@alextraynor3223 I bought my mum a Oppo A78 with the same features but it's an entry level phone. The camera is rather average performance but every day use is a breeze
I have this phone in 8gb RAM, 256gb spec. The processor is from the A54. I was using a S10+ prior. The speed of my A35 8gb feels very close to the S10+ in power saving mode. It is fine.
Feels good quality materials, solid & with a superb screen. SD card slot a bonus.
Im not a power user, currently looking to get off my parents phone plan and on my own the A35 is perfect. Its a phone below 1000 dollars, something I can buy outright, its backed by a reptuable company, and will have security and software updates. Yea I COULD get an older S23 but I also want something new and that I own, not someone elses turn in.
Last sentence is America in a nutshell. Pride, pride, pride. At the expense of everything else.
a55 is also really good.
used phones are great, i bet your girlfriend was used before too did you return her as well?
how many days did you use it ?
Currently using and watching on the A35 5g, a major upgrade over my previous A13 5g, which has shown its age lately. The chip inside performs relatively well and does just about everything I ask it to do. Like others I was also skeptical of the Exynos chip inside but ive been rather impressed.
in South Korea Samsung just announced the Galaxy Quantum 5. it is the same Galaxy A55 but with specific security chip. Always depends on the market.
True! There have actually been a couple security-focused, special chip phones for the Asia market..I think the A71 had a version like that too?
@@TechDaily yeap! QUANTUM 2? OR quantum 3
I think there are 3 phones in the A series that Samsung shouldn't have released; the A15 4G, A25 5G and A35 5G. The A35 and A25 are just, on one hand improved and on the other hand downgraded versions of the A54 and A53 respectively, same chipsets. Too many unnecessary phones. I'm not even sure the FE series is that necessary anymore. Good video!!
Thanks for watching! The A25 is the phone that makes the least sense to me lol
@@TechDaily Absolutely!!
I personally think it's good that the features of the higher end models are trickling down to the lower end models for cheaper. As for the A25, A35, and A55, the phones are a little too close from one tier to the next. So much that the major upgrade is the chipset (and probably the cameras) if you're moving from A1x to A2x or A2x to A3x or A3x to A5x.
Someone doesnt know about processors the Fe series has flagships soc
@@TechDailybut you said the opposite in your review of it
My A35 is working flawlessly. As good as a S24 except DEX and a few other things here and there. As a daily driver the speed is much appreciated.
I dont get the exynoss hate. Obviously sure for a flagship you don't want one I understand that. But on a midrange jts perfectly acceptable. Its not meant to blow the doors off with performance. But more about consistency. I had an A51 for 3 years and it did have performance issues. But not much. In fact most of the hits were from the software being too much for the phone. 4 years ago i wouldbe said tbat exynoss is terrible. But recently their midrange chips have gotten pretty good. Yes its not a snapdragon. But its better than a midrange demesity chip in performance. Plus it helps keep costs lower and allows for more money to be used for cameras or battery life. So im all for it
I had a J7 2016 with an Exynos 7870 and the performance and thermals were pretty good, I could throw almost anything and the phone would barely heat up, but that was an old ass midrange phone.
People hate on it because they see other people hating. A lot of them have never used a phone with a exynos chip in it. They just repeat whatever they see somebody else on the internet say
@@NowKissMyChucks The Exynos 990 was a definite stinker(Snapdragon 888 and 8 Gen 1 performed similar to the Exynos 2100 and 2200), other Exynos chips didn't fall as much behind compared to their Snapdragon variants when it came to flagships. And it midrange it took them until the A55(with the Exynos 1480) to surpass the A52s(with the Snapdragon 778G) in performance
But coming from an Exynos 990 S20 FE many games throttle a lot and run quite poorly and tends to heat up a lot.
@astroidexadam5976 I remember using the Galaxy a53, which was a lag fest. You could hardly do anything with that phone. But I fell like the galaxy a54, ,a35 and of course the a55 are all good phones.
@@NowKissMyChucks The Exynos 1380 and 1480 what I've heard have still been massive improvements compared to previous midrange Exynos chips
This phone does everything I need it to do (I'm not a gamer). It's a great mid-tier option.
My galaxy note 10 performace now already similar to A35 😂...but still love the note 10 😊
The Note 10 is still a great device 😅
Thanks for the review man! I was just about to cough up madd dough for a s23. I really didnt wanna do it just waited 2 days looked online n bamm! Ill be happy with this cell for half the price! Good job Keep it up!
Looks like a perfect phone for like 90%+ of the people, myself included.
And for the price (at the moment ~ 260 euro here in Europe) it's a great deal.
Samsung is banking on their A line up this year because they know even less people can afford to spend a grand on an S series phone due to their financial situation.
Or won't buy an S series because those devices completely lack a microSD expandable storage.
7:42 it's smooth and fast but how long it's gonna stay that way that's the actual question
Just bought the a35. My S22Ultra developed a few green and pink lines. Repair cost is close to $200! Will never buy an Ultra phone again.
Photos come out as good as you take them. Play with the controls and you get a decent output. Anyway, I and most of us, I presume, don’t go for competition with smartphone cameras.
So, value for money counts at 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
User replaceable battery needed
Micro SD needed
3,5 mm audio port
Small size of display but thicker
Sensible enough my request?
especially the 3.5mm audio port
Who even told these phone manufacturers to ditch the LEGACY port??
They might have changed their mind
I just bought an A55 on Amazon. And aside from replacing my 10 year old sim that no longer supports 5G, it works flawlessly.
I bought the A34 last year. No problems and do everything what I want to do. The A35 and even the A55 looks so nice tho. Is it worth the upgrade to either devices?
No because A34 is going to get circle to search
@@QuantumTechTraveler i got the update 2 days ago. Its nice
I think you could probably stick with the A34 another year - that was a great phone.
@@TechDaily Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it. Big fan of your videos.
Using my A34 right now. Got the circle to search update 3 days ago. I'm really happy with the phone. Will probably use it up until the one UI 9 update. Great phone!
Hi Wade. I am curious. Do you prefer Android or Iphone? What do you use daily?
iPhone 15 Pro is my main personal phone
I am still rocking my LG V60 headphone jack, SD card slot, 256gb onboard memory, 8gb ram she is old but i dont see the use to buy these new phones. Many people in my country know what a Samsung looks like from the back but when they see my LG they curious
Lg v60 is so good phone bro keep it until it dies
I'm from South Africa and luckily, we get the entire A-series every year. I had the A53 and I regretted buying it literally an hour later. Camera took way too long to snap a pic and at night time, useless! I sold it, got myself the A54 and the difference were like day & night! The A55 didn't bring much to the table so let's see what the A56 will offer. The FE-series are just too expensive. You could buy 2x A54's for the price of just one S23 FE. Now, the S23 FE is the same price as an A54 and cheaper than the A55! The S24 FE looks to be another expensive phone with zero SD slot...and I need an SD slot!!
The problem is they're trying to appeal to every possible market, adding unnecessary phones that overlap each other. In some markets, there is the F series and M series thus making 52 models in a year.
Well if that's the case, can Samsung appeal to me. I need a phone that blends the Note 9 with their S24 Ultra. Make that phone, and I will buy it.
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 The S25 Ultra might have a similar design with a boxy yet comfortable shape. I was thinking something along the lines of the Note10 Lite.
The A series phone don't get the AI features that are on the S series phones. Samsung just recently added Circle to Search to the A34, A35, A54 and A55
I would buy the A55 more because it has a micro sd card (up to 1 TB), A35 not as spec up. A55 a cheap Phone at a cheaper plan for me, just me looking for a bargain.
The A55 is definitely the one to buy…probably why Samsung didn’t bring it to the US. No one would buy anything else lol
How much better is the picture quality/resolution compared to A32?
In my country we have the a15 for 150 dollars, the a25 for 200 dollars, a35 for 230 dollars, m35 256gb for 215 dollars, a55 for 299 dollars, s23 fe for 379 dollars. All new phones with chargers included in the box. We also have the a05s, a05 for under 120 dollars. Plus the m15 and m55
The Moto edge 2024 is better in almost every aspect besides the updates but I don't really care about that! The screen, chip, battery, build, and ROM are all better on the moto!
I’ll be getting that phone next 👀
@@TechDaily nice the stylus and edge 2024 both are good but the moto edge is slightly better due to a superior chip and a OLED screen with gorilla 🦍 glass and aluminum sides! Its ip68 also and has dual speakers 70w charging and a optical fingerprint sensor!
Don't forget wireless charging and a new frontpage for gaming and 144 hz refresh.@@JoeMascio
@@JoeMascio a55 is better than that .
@@Crabby.1 idk what chip does the 55 have?
I replaced (literally exchanged) my 3.5 year old A52 with A35 and it feels like a worthy successor for next few years. It has all features (and lack of 3.5 mm audio port) as S series except DeX and wireless charging.
In India we do have the option of A55 - but it is just additional money for nearly nothing. I joked to my wife after ordering that Samsung launched A55 to sell more A35.
Great video, as always. I've been thinking about buying this to replace my S22. It's sitting at $324 at Best Buy right now. Do you think I should just stick with the S22 or pick this up?
If this is all you can afford it's a decent choice, however I'm tired of budget android phones and want to go back to a better phone so I'm going to save for a used iPhone.
I'd highly recommend that
Can u share the wallpaper ?
I still say Exynos is the reason I won't buy it , but folks who want to buy it probably just want a flagship like experience but at a reasonable price. It's not the One plus or Xiaomi like " feel premium " with " deceptive materials and good specs with more sales or enthusiast branding " but A35 actually gives you less specs and performance than cheap Tecnos , Infinix and even OP/Xiaomi. But I'm sure if you like Samsung and premium like exp , some will enjoy this one. And specially software updates and less bloat.
I have been a follower of your Tech reviews for a long time just wanted ask if out of the parked smartphones if you can share one.
I've been using my Motorola G8 Power (2020) for four years now. I was wondering if this would be a good upgrade especially in terms of overall performance, display and battery life. How does it compare to the Moto G Power 2024? I checked for the A55 for it's only available as an international version on Amazon.
That's a brilliant phone, my wife still has hers.
I Have the A54 from last year and it has been real nice , but is it worth the upgrade to this year's A55 ?
And out of curiosity, in terms of optimization and Storage Type since both A54 and A35 use the same processor , which is better for gaming and heavy performance so far ??
Tech daily deserves to hit over a million already
Samsung doesn’t make big discounts on their A series phones while S23 FE was on sale for 400 dollars in the US on Black Friday. Upcoming Samsung S24 FE may be on sale as well on Black Friday for the price which is pretty close to the price of A35/55. New S24 FE should be a hit if Samsung gives it Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 ( TSMC chip).
S24FE will come with crappy Exynos 2400 🤮
a few months ago i bought a refurbished A54 from ebay to use as a backup phone. Besides the long bootup time it's a pretty solid phone, but on the other hand a friend gave me his old Note 9 last week and the Note 9 is faster and snappier then the A54 which is pretty crazy for a 6yr old phone. I really wanted to get a A55 but tbh it was too expensive for a backup phone.
Note 9 might be a smoother phone but not faster i bet
I have a55
Note 9 ❤❤❤
iPhone 13 or This one? I am kinda leaning towards this one because the price 💜
Idk why they dropped the most popular phones? The 70s and 50s are the best they dropped the ball
They were tired of people not buying the S Series basically 🙃
Nobody can afford to buy the s series@@TechDaily
@@TechDailyas much as I love my s series phone (s24 snapdragon) the A5x lineup offered tremendous value… but the target market of an A5x wouldn’t buy an s series
I think it's also when a flagship buyer buys a phone, either completely new or as a trade in, they keep it for longer because of the software/firmware support.
What happens when we reach the tenth generation of the a3x series? will it be A300?
Where does the A35 stack up against the Moto G Stylus 5G 2024?
Transistor at 3nm/4nm that what is limiting the progress of the smartphones. They reached the minimum possible? That means in the future flagship phone and middle segment phone are going to share many similarities.
Also you will be able to keep the same phone for 5 solides years.
Example my old Samsung A5 2017 did last for about 2 years before it start to struggle, then after 5 years it was a pain to use.
Now I'm using the a71 from year 2019 and it is still running just fine in 2024. overall it is ok for me.
Samsung A what from 2017??
I had the S21FE and now the S24, and I cannot see major differences. It is just more refined, better haptics and the display is something out of comparison indeed. But the rest is quite the same lol
They should shrink those bezels a little more, it would sell better.
It’s funny - 50% of people say “what are bezels…?” And 50% say “yikes those are ugly, thick bezels” 😅
Yeah........ The bezels have nothing to do with the phone selling buddy😅
@@NowKissMyChucks thanks bud, I guess I wasn't aware that most people are ignorant when it comes to phones. Most people who know nothing about phones don't care about fat bezels. All people see is the Samsung name and think to themselves " oouu a Samsung" that is the only reason they sell so well.
@@TechDaily yeah I would have to agree. In my experience 90% didn't care or know what bezels are. Then when I explain what they are you see the reality creep across their faces. Then all of the sudden they don't want the phone with giant bezels.
In my region (middle east) we have the a55 , which is 50$ more than the a35 , for a better camera and one gen higher chipset and even more upgrades that i cant recall , its a no brainer to get the a55
Sd card storage is a big selling point in my book. Easily transfer all my songs and photos
Dinig ko mabilis daw malowbat ?
The A35 uses last year's A54 chip. Also, the A35 and A55 are close in specs with only a few minor differences
i like the streamlining of the A series, but i feel like they should keep the ultra budget 1X series, as well as the 3X series and 5X series. i don’t see a lot of people who have/ have been sticking to the A series getting the FE phones.
Having the same chipset and one year apart, would you think or agree that the A35's cameras are better than the older A54 in terms of colour accuracy, skin tones, selfies, low light, app loading, video stabilisation and dynamic range overall?
Nope a54 is better when it comes overall. A35 better with +1 software update and security and gg victus
I'm using the A34 and have no complaints.
That is great that it will get updated to Android 18 because the A32 only received 2 major Android updates. Also, the A32 5g had a poorer screen then the A32 4g. Samsung had sacrificed the screen on the 5G model to reduce costs. I'm glad that on the A35 they don't do that anymore. Starting the A34 last year they dropped they head phone jack copying Apple
Honestly the better buy is probably the s23 renewed (US market) but I know there are things about that phone people dislike but overall its miles better.
A renewed flagship from 1-2 years ago is THE move for sure. Even this years S24 is discounted a lot already actually lol
@@TechDaily have you seen the price on the s22? Its wild that its already at 240 in the renewed market. The only real major problem is the battery life 2 years later for sure.
I'm sorry but that phone looks terrible. I don't like that screen with those thick bezels. All of Samsung's phones after the 20 series are not of interest. I bought a S20+ recently that's wayyy better than this phone lol nice curved screen with barely much bezels so better viewing experience and still more powerful than this and better cameras, no exynos, and no stupid AI crap they're trying to push on us. I don't care for the updates either just throwing that out there before those people comment about it.
Curves on a phone is really outdated, it's hard to keep a nice screen protector on it or get a decent case (I'm now experiencing this with my OnePlus 12)
@@NowKissMyChucks That's you're opinion. Nothing is outdated in my world lol the viewing experience is better on curved screens and I don't have an issue with screen protectors, I just use the film ones not glass and that's good. Just get whatever fits to your likings. I like older phones because they were built better and I like ny SD card support. All of these android phones nowadays like the one you have now One Plus are just wannabe iPhones now. Same with Samsung, that's why I'm stuck with their older phones until I find a better company to stick with.
Watching on my Galaxy A35, the experience is quite good for me. The one ui is such a fantastic interface that makes me always prefer samsung phones.
The reason why they're slowing down the amount of A series phones is probably due to unsold stock. There's a LOT of unsold a03's and a54's at retailers in the US.
To be fair the A03s are utter ass. I happened to get my hands on one a year or so ago (thankfully I had the much better A13 5G) but man, using it for a bit was such a painful experience.
Samsung A35 has one of the betsmidrange cameras as you need to light down a bit thw Pictures if not in good light to get the best results! Its not the best of the best but jts great quallity!
Is it better than a34?
No
Which is best? Samsung galaxy A35 or S21 fe Snapdragon variant
S21 fe sd88 better
Is there an always on display?
lol it's almost on all android phones
I think the moto g stylus 2024 is the best deal. Better specs, brighter screen with higher refresh rate and has expandable storage and headphone jack. I used Samsung for almost 7 years and now Motorola has caught up and cost less.
a55 is better due to its new processor which has better temperature stability compared to 1380
A55 is the one to get for sure
too expensive for just a metal frame and a better processer lol
@@naxyan1193considering the price of a35 which is a bit less than the a55, I would rather spend a bit more for a better processor which has better temperature stability, features and so on
also the a35's processor is functioned to be a bit slower than the a54 (previous device with that processor)
@@SteelFlesher The A35 is approximately $280, while the A55 is about $420, and both have a capacity of 265GB. What are you talking about?
Great storage Great for gaming battery last forever waterproof dust proof totally Awesome
Quick question, it's been 4 years since I'm using samsung. Are they still collaborating with microsoft like where they used to back thern?
The cameras are not even close nor the performance. Though I use an A34 and an S-series phone as well, the S-series phone just has a charm the A-series lacks. But the A-series make a load of sense for the emerging markets like India a pretty much countries in those regions. Here in the West, we are mostly superficial and need the validation of saying we use a "certain" type or brand of phone.
Funny you upload this video now since IFA is next month and we'll probably see more budget Samsung phones.
Form where do you get these wallpapers
If you compare the specs on this phone to last year's A54 it's almost identical
If Samsung is so concerned about their flagship phones selling, they need to bring back the headphone jack and microSD card slot. This is one of the reasons why the A series is selling well. I guess TM Roh cannot take a hint.
It's not the fanciest or the most powerful phone in this price
But it's definitely the most solid one
in my country, new $500+ phones don't sell well, people prefer to buy a refurbished or used S22 ultra for $550 dollar rather than buying a new phone at the same price, because high end phones now days are so good due to competition, you don't need to buy a new one each one, two or even three years, so imagine if mid range phones get close to the specs of the high end, recession is inevitable in phones market!
Hey just wanna know that my a20 is more powerful than my Dad's A12. Even tho it is 3gb ram ,32gb storage, play casual games and do task in what i want to. 4 hours battery after 4.5 hours of use
can someone please explain why the thin bezels are so important, i mean they look ok on this phone, this just my personal opinion but its a bit of a nit pick
They look cheap and outdated compared to the Chinese phones at the same price range
You wil Understand if you put it on the case
3:11 says it all. I agree!
I bought the a35 yesterday, but it is chewing up battery charge- actually going negative with a charger on it. How can I charge this properly, please?
Visible unlimited everything for 25 bucks. I used over 200 gigs last month.
