    The Samsung Galaxy A55 is a great option if you’re looking for a budget phone that doesn’t skimp on quality. The 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate makes everything look smooth and vibrant, whether you're scrolling through social media or watching videos. Plus, the 50MP camera delivers sharp and clear photos, even in low light, which is a nice bonus for a phone in this price range. It also has a premium-feeling build, despite being more affordable, and feels solid in your hand. If you're after a reliable phone with solid features, this one is definitely worth checking out!

    Good phone for the price, is fast and the battery last the whole day. Lots of space for apps, takes good pictures at night, thats an important feature for me. I am with T-Mobile and no issues, it works immediately when I imserted the Sim card, just look for the T-Mobile apps in the Play Store like voice mail and scam shield and it is ready to go. The best part if you use your Best Buy Card, you can pay it in 12 months, no interest if paid in full with $0 down.

    When I purchased this phone I don't know what to expect because it was a new model, I'm so happy that I made the decision to buy it, it has long battery life, I have no issues with this phone at all, I'd definitely recommend this phone to anyone.

    1 year later, and it's still a solid smartphone.

    I bought the A35 during Black Friday 2024. I skillfully applied a tempered glass screen protector and equipped the phone with a black Spigen ToughArmor case for that chunky, rugged, semi-tactical look that I prefer on my phones. The MicroSD card slot is a feature I like so I can reserve the phone's internal storage for apps. I really like this phone very much, it holds up better than the A15 and it can still manage against my father's A16 for a good bit. If you're thinking about buying a new phone, give the A35 a shot if "the lack of a MicroSD card slot is stopping you from buying an A36". (Seriously though, why did Samsung remove microSD support on the A36, and the other models?) The screenshot I added shows how my A35's UI looks like after I customized it to suit my personal tastes...

    For <$350 the A35/5g earns an A+

    The A35 5G unlocked (Mint LTE and 5G carrier) is a great phone especially the signal quality. Unlike my older A25 5G that overheated and just would not lock on 5G without dropping, the A35 can be in the center console and work as needed. I'm impressed with the camera, even when zooming in on Dolphin breaching > 200 feet away. Get a USB-C cable and save your UHD 30 -60fps videos to a stick.

    IPhone vs. Android "Open Box"-Pleasantly surprised

    I went from an Iphone 12 Pro Max to this Android & couldn't be more surprised! I thought I was getting more of a "basic" phone, but not only does it have 2x the memory, but you're not locked in to buying & subscribing to Apple everything. PLUS-I have bought several "Open Box" items from Best Buy over the past decade & ALL of the products were like brand new! Literally the only store/seller I trust! (I just bought another "Open Box" item today-great!!!

    Samsung Galaxy A35 5G (Unlocked) – Awesome Navy

    This phone is a great deal for the price. The screen is super clear and smooth thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate, and the color (Awesome Navy) looks sleek and modern. Battery life is solid — it easily lasts a full day. It runs pretty smooth for everyday stuff like social media, videos, and texting. Camera is decent in good lighting, but not amazing in low light. Also, charging could be faster. But for a budget-friendly 5G phone with a nice design and good display, it’s definitely worth considering.

    I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G in Awesome Navy, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! This phone perfectly balances performance, design, and affordability, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable mid-range device. **Design & Build Quality:** The Awesome Navy color is stunning and gives the phone a sleek, premium look. The build quality feels solid in hand, and the phone is comfortable to hold and use. The slim profile and smooth finish make it easy to handle, even with one hand. **Display:** The 6.5-inch display is vibrant and bright, making watching videos and browsing the web a pleasure. The colors are rich, and the resolution is sharp, providing an immersive viewing experience whether you're streaming your favorite shows or scrolling through social media. **Performance:** Powered by a capable processor and 5G connectivity, the Galaxy A35 handles everyday tasks effortlessly. Apps open quickly, multitasking is smooth, and gaming is surprisingly lag-free.

Whether I'm streaming videos, playing games, or just texting, I never have to worry about running out of power. Plus, the fast charging feature is incredibly convenient for quick top-ups. **Camera:** The camera setup is more than adequate for my needs. The primary camera takes sharp and vibrant photos, and the ultra-wide lens is perfect for capturing landscapes. The front camera is also great for selfies, delivering clear and detailed images every time. **Storage & Features:** With 128GB of storage, I have plenty of space for all my apps, photos, and videos. The phone also includes a microSD slot, which is a great bonus for those who need even more storage. Samsung's One UI is user-friendly and comes with a host of useful features, making the overall experience even better. **Conclusion:** Overall, the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G is an outstanding device for its price. It offers a great mix of performance, features, and style, making it a perfect choice for anyone who wants a reliable and stylish smartphone without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

    The A35 5G offers a premium design, bright 120Hz AMOLED display, and strong battery life. It’s water-resistant (IP67) and runs smoothly for everyday use, though it can lag with heavier tasks. The main camera is solid in daylight but struggles in low light. No charger included. Pros: Sleek design, vibrant display, long battery, great software support Cons: Some lag, average night photos, no charger

    This is an awesome device for the price. Does the work for the purpose intended which is for my son. The graphics are on point and speed is fair. Could use some extra storage but that's not issue comes with an additional memory chip space so no worry there. Overall super pleased with the device there. Battery life is is great as well.

    No improvement over 6 year old A51

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Not an improvement over my 6 year old A51. It's basically the same phone. A little faster, but still a lag after every tap. The camera is just horrid. The flash is too bright, makes everything white-washed and hazy. With soft white lights on and no flash, it's still hazy. In dim light with the flash, it turns everything red, like an old 80s photo from a disposable camera. The color is dull, not vibrant. It's either too much light and white-washed, or it's too dark and muddy. I just cannot get a decent picture indoors, no matter what I do, even with the Pro mode and trying to fine-tune the settings. My 3 year old Pixel 6 takes WAY better pictures. *(Pics included were taken with this A35 camera.) The Always On Display no longer has customization options. On my A51, I had an animated .gif on the AOD. On the A35, you can't even put an image or change the clock type. It will only update to Android 14, though my 3 year old Pixel 6 is on Android 15. The A51 stopped at 13. NOT worth $400. Not an improvement. Not an upgrade. I got it because it's the "best" Xfinity phone with an SD card slot. I don't understand how the $800+ phones don't have an SD card slot! Shouldn't more money get you more features?! So I'm returning it and getting a Pixel 8. If I can't have an SD card slot, I need at least 256GB internal because I have over 100GB of just music (lossless, I don't do that mp3 garbage or spend data $ to stream music I already own). And the A51 has a headphone jack, which none of them have anymore. What a ridiculous ommission. Forcing everyone to go fully digital/wireless/streaming... I have a 1993 van that can only connect to a phone with an aux headphone cable! So, now I have to carry TWO phones with me... One as a phone & internet, one as a media player! And all the bloatware...! If I purchase this phone, I should be able to make it mine and remove ANY & ALL apps I choose. If I don't get to actually OWN my phone, it should be provided free, as long as I'm paying for active service.
