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.[1][2][3][4][5]

Design

The front is made of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+. The back is made of unspecified glass and the frame is made of plastic. The Galaxy A35 5G also features IP67 dust and water resistance and NFC features.

The design of the Galaxy A35 5G is similar to the entire Galaxy Ax5 lineup, featuring a flat frame and the Key Island.

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.

The Galaxy A35 5G has adopted 128 GB / 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage.[6]

On the bottom of the smartphone, there is a USB-C 2.0 port, two microphones and a loudspeaker. 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. On the right side, there is the volume rocker and the power button.

The Galaxy A35 5G was sold in the following color options:
