Got it 3 weeks ago I like it. Solid review, as an overall package this phone delivers.
Thanks! I agree
Android makes the day better!
It does! Thank you for the comment
Samsung though
Samsung android make the day better
Very helpful review. Just purchased this phone, waiting on delivery.
Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy it
Good review
Love from Bangladesh
Thanks so much
Like the review ✌🏾💐
Thanks so much
Great review! I have the A25 and so far its been great. I probably would have opted for the A35 but it wasn't out yet when I needed to replace my last phone. Overall though the A25 has been great.
Yeah I was in a similar situation when I bought the A54. Luckily I was in a return policy when the a35 came out
@@AndroidDigest For $100 more, would you opt for this over the A25 for the basic user (calls, web surfing)? Is one display easier on the eyes for those sensitive to lights and patterns?
Admittedly, I'm not one to ask about the display being easier on the eyes.
For a pretty basic user, I would say the a25 is more than enough. Sometimes it's good to get a little more phone than you need though to make sure you're happy. And between the performance bump, water resistance, there is definitely enough to justify the $100. But still, when you're at this low of a price point that $100 is a massive deal. And if you were a very basic user who maybe came from prepaid phones in the past, I would say anyone like that would really really enjoy the a25 and it definitely is enough. Enough. A lot of people will honestly even enjoy the a15. And for a basic user. I think both of those phones are great. The a35 is one step out of a flagship phone for me. Between the cameras, performance, even the display, it feels like it's just one small step away between that and a complete flagship phone. So it's a very good phone. But not everyone needs what power either
@@AndroidDigest Thanks. Coming from an 8 yr old 2/16GB Samsung J7, either will probably feel like a jet plane.😆 Judging from your vids, the A35 did not seem to have the same diagonal line streaking detected at times on the A25 (the A15 is a no go on this criteria which is a shame as I do prefer the lighter weight). It'll come down to the feel-in-hand test (not a fan of these larger, squared, heavier phones but do like the updates and manufacturing) and like the Gorilla glass for durability though not so much on the back. Not sure how tough the "Glastic" on the 25 is. Anyway, so happy to have found your channel. Had to work a bit to keep pace with you, but nicely balanced reviews with mix of practical info and demonstration that will help various users make a well informed choice.🖒
Both my daughter and I have the A25 and neither of us have had any display issues so far. I would argue this phone goes beyond even a basic user's needs. Honestly, I multitask on it with no issues. My daughter plays games on it all the time, including Genshin Impact, and the only real thing I can say is that if she's playing for a very long time the phone will get a little warm. Other than that, in my experience this phone is plenty fast enough for most people. The only thing I like about the A35 is the thinner bezels and hole punch camera. Just my opinion!
thanks for rn very interesting and good show
Thank you so much
Thanks!
Thanks so much
@@AndroidDigest You bet!
THANK YOU 4 THE TOUR AND YOUR SIS IS SO CUTE 😊
Probably my daughter, but I hope the video helps
Did you experience overheating issues there? Here in the Philippines, it's heating up real fast, just like the A54 with the same chip
It's possible that the environment is making it worse. This phone did not get warmer than other phones I've used. It may get warm, but I will say The performance isn't dipping. It's not going up and down as far as performance. I think the A54 was having weird performance hiccups because of the overheating. I think this phone does a little bit better with heating, and it doesn't have those hiccups, but it does have the same processor so I would expect almost a similar heat level if that makes sense.
Anong mga ginagawa mo sa phone? Gaming? If gaming, anong games? Kung social media lang tas overheating, nako problema. Gusto ko pa naman yan pag save-ban.
Great video! Can you compare the cameras on A35 vs A54?
I don't have time to do a camera comparison, but there is a video that does that below. Hopefully that helps th-cam.com/video/XeMG3UtKNYA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-0YMqEwSNUPxbEe6
@@AndroidDigest Thank you for helping; it’s very helpful. In that video, the quality of the cameras seems quite the same between these three devices. I didn’t expect the A35 to be that good.
I agree with you. I was pretty surprised too
Hi mate, I still have a question: Is 128GB of storage enough for the next 4 to 5 years (or even 6)? In my country, the A54 with 256GB and the A35 with 128GB are approximately the same price, which makes it challenging for me to choose between them.
Good job, Zach ❤
Thanks!
@@AndroidDigest You bet!
Watching this review from my A 35 5G. Nice phone actually.
Awesome. Hope you enjoy it
HERE FIRST
also I am mad because the specs of this phone are the exact same as my samsung a54 5g but the a54 was more expensive
I hear you. Just remember that every year, or most years, technology will get cheaper. So one year they will have one processor come and the next year they typically upgrade. So it does make sense that the lower end phone the next year would be fairly similar.
Now imagine how mad those who bought A55 at launch in stores without freebies. The same phone can now be bought at 30% cheaper on our used markets. 😂
I paid $1000 for an iPhone 5. Samsung trade-in was $0. Imagine that.😮
You paid $1,000 for an iPhone 5? In what world 😂😂. That phone is like a century old and it never cost $1,000 even when it launched. I wouldn't pay a can't for the iPhone 5 either. It doesn't even work with 5g either
How is the call quality & 5g signal reception?
I had no issues at all. I go through spotty areas and it maintained good signal personally. But I know that's a little subjective
Thanks for asking. Ironically, of the many reviewers reviewing many phones, there's never mentioning call quality.
For me personally, I just haven't had any noticeable differences in a very long time with phones and call quality. Even some people who said the pixels had worse reception, the pixels actually held reception stronger than almost any phone I've had. The only phone I had bad reception on was the nothing phone and that's mainly because it was an international phone not made for the US.
how's the in hand feel ? Does this device feel heavy??
To be honest, yes. It does feel a little heavy. I guess some people will associate that with being premium. It's mainly because they're using more premium materials, but it does feel heavy, especially with it being a 6.6-in screen
My A54 used to heat up in the first few weeks after purchase but after using it over time it stopped works perfectly fine and its quiet fast
For me, the A54 wasn't about necessarily overheating. Like I didn't feel it overheating personally my hands or anything. I'm just stating that I was having weird accidental touches, one of my theories was that it could be throttling the processor because of a little bit of heat. And GSM arena did confirm that there was some throttling going on. My point is the A35 5g has a little better sustained performance
Is there stabilization in 4k video? The selfie camera shoots 4k
Yes there is. Also. Your dead on there with the 4K video on the selfie camera. My brain melted for a quick second when I said that. I actually just cut it out of the video and it should be removed within a couple of hours. Don't want to spread misinformation.
I'm thinking in getting this for my 12 year old. I think it would be a great first phone?
Yeah it would be honestly
I've got this phone and it's definitely a good all round phone. In fact I own two of them. 👍
For sure. I think they are great
Should I choose the S24 or S24 Plus (Exynos)
If they're both the exynos variants at that point it's just about size mainly. It's a radically different size difference. Battery life is better on the plus too and you get that quad hd display. But the regular s24 has it's perks, I think it depends on the size of phone you want and your budget. Personally I like smaller phones so I'd pick the S24, but some people like larger phones and for them I'd point them to the Plus.
Does it support esim?
Yes
Hope you get a million subs .❤I have it I like it and there's no problem . A35 is the a54 but better thermo than a54 only thing a54 has over hdr that's all had a54 and a15 and s24 gave up s24 I don't need 1000 dollars a 34 destroy moto g power is trash
I hope you get a million dollars with that attitude, seriously. Thanks so much. I love the A35 5G, hope you enjoy it too
Yes I love mine I appreciate what you said I'm very real and wish I had a million bucks lol a35 is good I don't have a problem not ever going to get a 1000 ❤ hope you get a million subscribers @@AndroidDigest
Hlo sir im from india i want an tablet in bugget that support 5g sim card for my studies
Please sugget me some tablet under 40-50k
It's really hard for me to say honestly. Because I'm actually not aware of what tablets sell for there and often other countries can have completely different prices and sales and all types of stuff. I really love the Galaxy Tab S9 Fe if you could find a great deal on it. It's one of the better value tablets out there and it's a great overall package. I also love the Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2. Both are good values. The Tab S8 series is good too if You're looking for a value on older flagships. Hope you can find a good deal on something though. But it's hard for me to say because I just don't know the market over there
pixel 8a looks like a better buy to me
more updates, brighter screen and far better cameras and software + better performance. 1000 nits isn't very bright
As of right now,, yes. But it's going to come down to sales. The Pixel 8a retails for $500. It's $100 extra for those things and no sd card slot. If the A35 has bigger sales, which I know it will especially at prepaids, it's going to be a great value.
I'm using a Pixel 7a right now. So I believe the 8a is a good phone and can be a great value. Just saying the A35 is a pretty balanced phone.
I am just curious if he is a Sabres fan, or is just wearing that hat!
A little of both. I moved to NY for a season, about 3 years. And got more into hockey. I'm not a major hockey fan but they have been my favorite hockey team
@@AndroidDigest hopefully the playoffs are in the cards for the '24-'25 season! If Levi finds his footing, UPL and him will be unstoppable!
But i need a review of a55 please
I hear you. I've heard a lot of people asking for it. They haven't released it in the US so admittedly I'm a little slow to make that decision. I've also got a lot of videos on the docket already. But I may get to it at some point.
Buy S21 Fe or S22 Plus if you can better performance better cameras
But you're also going to deal with the battery that is very worn down. You're going to deal with parts in the phone that could go bad at any time. And you will get a lot less software updates on those devices. Those devices are probably done with software updates because back then Samsung wasn't offering the same updates they do today.
@@AndroidDigest True for Battery but its not much degraded if you find it barely used or like new condition
Uodates on the other hand will slow the Midrange phones so you can expect after 2 years to lag i have used S21 Fe 888 Variant and flyies to this day also battery isnt issue when i had it it gived me SoT 8-9 hours on social media youtube Gaming 3-5 Hours depending on the Settings.
@@AndroidDigest Well for Softwere updates S21 Fe has 2 more to go Launched with Android 12 and Samsung offers 4 years as for the S22 also launched with Android 12 so will get Android 16 with Oneui 8.0
The omission of mmwave band is a deal breaker.👎
a55 review plaese
from bangladesh
Unfortunately, they haven't released it in the US. I may cover it at some point down the line since people in my audience are interested in it. But I do have quite a few things on the docket admittedly
The phone doesn't look cheap either, which is good.
For sure. It feels pretty premium
Motorola only gives 1 or 2 major Android updates on its budget phones and only 2 years of security updates, whereas the A35 gets 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates
Right. That's a major thing
Correction: G series gets 1 major update and 3 years of security updates. (Not 2)
Edge series gets 2 OS updates and 3 years security updates.
Edge flagship get (Edge 40 Pro or Edge + 2023 and Edge 50 Pro and Ultra) gets 3 OS updates and 4 years of security updates.
OS updates may get delayed sometimes but all security updates come every 2 months.
You are correct. Those updates can get very delayed sometimes though. I would absolutely love to be all in on Motorola phones. I literally just bought the Motorola flip phone to try out again. But they have to do better with updates, and they have to have more timely updates
Just buy an Amazon renewed Galaxy S23 or S23 Plus
I get why you would say that. But this retails for $400. I would expect it to go on sale often around $300. It's very close to the Galaxy s23 performance anyway. But it's got a much bigger battery, a bigger screen. And the s23 will cost a lot more. Amazon renewed. I think you are right that those are really good deals but I'm just saying the a35 has a good place. And obviously when it goes on Amazon renewed with 85% of the specs as the S23, It's going to be a really good deal there too
I see people comment this all the time on newer Samsung midrange phones. Buy an older renewed flagship. What they won’t tell you about are the risks associated with buying a refurbished/renewed phone. I bought an S21 FE Amazon renewed a couple years ago. It was mostly good and looked great condition wise. However, these refurbishers use off market parts to “renew” the phones. That S21 FE was ok on calls for speakerphone but was unusable to the ear through the earpiece. I mean my phone got great reception yet I couldn’t hear a damn thing through the earpiece at all and the other person couldn’t hear me. Idk if that a Samsung issue even with new phones from them as it was my only experience with a Samsung phone. But let my experience here be a cautionary tale for those who want to go cheap and get a refurbished device. There’s too many risks and you’d probably be better off spending a little extra cash to get a quality phone even if it’s not the fastest.
@@DWtechfan The older phones also don't have as many updates remaining.
I wanted the A55 and not this. I don't want last year's processor in this year's phone. I'll be shopping elsewhere from Samsung products this year for sure!
Yeah if you had the A54 I wouldn't blame you at all. I would be pretty upset that you have to settle for basically the same phone. The pixel 8A is definitely a good choice. OnePlus 12R is also extremely good. I'd say the OnePlus has the best specs by far for the money. And if you say you want to trade in any phone, they normally give you a discount and they don't even require a trade-in. Assuming you just offered to trade in a phone not on their list. They just send you a link to a recycling website and give you the option to do it or not. So you can get some really good deals there. Hopefully you find someone you like
The A35 has the same CPU as the A54
Yep I mentioned that a few times. It's a good thing
but better and improve performance than a54 which is best thing😊
