The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G is a mid-range Android-based smartphone developed and manufactured by Samsung Electronics as a part of its Galaxy A series. It was announced on March 11, 2024 and was released four days later, alongside the Galaxy A55 5G.[1][2]
Specifications
Design
The front is made of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+, while the back uses glass with an unspecified protection.[3] It also features IP67 dust and water resistance. The design of the Galaxy A35 5G is similar to the entire Galaxy Ax5 lineup, featuring a flat (plastic) frame and the Key Island. On the right side, there is the volume rocker and the power button.[4]
Unlike its predecessors, the A35 has a hole punch display like A55 instead of a teardrop notch making it the first in the lineup to have this feature.[5]

Hardware
Display
The Galaxy A35 5G features a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate (same as its predecessor), albeit it now has a punch-hole (Infinity-O) cutout (compared to the teardrop (Infinity-U) notch), a first for the Galaxy A3x lineup.[6]
Processor and Memory
The smartphone is equipped with the in-house Samsung Exynos 1380 SoC, which was first used on the Galaxy A54 5G. It is paired with 6 GB or 8GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB (both with UFS 2.2)[7] of internal storage. It is the last Galaxy A3x model that supports expandable storage via microSD cards.
Battery
The smartphone features a non-removable Li-Ion 5000 mAh battery with a 25 W fast charging support, similar with its predecessor.[8]
Camera
It has a triple rear camera setup (with the ultrawide and macro cameras carried over from its predecessor): 50 MP main (a slight upgrade from the 48 MP found on its predecessor), 8 MP ultrawide (f/2.2), and 5 MP macro (f/2.4). The smartphone also features a front-facing 13 MP wide-angle camera. Both main and front cameras can record video in 4K resolution at 30 fps.[8]
| Camera | Resolution | Aperture | Video recording resolution | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rear | Wide (main) | 50 MP (OIS) | f/1.8 | 4K@30fps |
| Ultra-wide | 8 MP | f/2.2 | 1080p@30fps | |
| Macro | 5 MP | f/2.4 | — | |
| Front camera | 13 MP | f/2.2 | 4K@30fps | |

Ports and connectivity
On the bottom of the smartphone, there is a USB-C 2.0 port, two microphones and stereo speakers. On the top, there is an additional microphone and, depending on the model, either a hybrid dual SIM tray (SIM 1 + SIM 2 or SIM 1 + microSD) or a single SIM tray.[3]
Software
Alongside the Galaxy A15, Galaxy A25, and the Galaxy A55 5G, the device is slated to receive 4 OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates (until 2029).[10] It also marks the last time these devices will receive this level of support, as its successors all had 6 years of support.[11]
Starting with the Galaxy A35, the Galaxy A3x series no longer supports 32-bit ARMv7 applications due to restrictions in the SoC. Devices that were released prior to the Galaxy A35 continue to support 32-bit apps.[12]
