After a few weeks of waiting, Samsung is officially launching the Galaxy A35 in the USA. The phone is not yet listed in the online shop as of this writing, but the official announcement is out, and the device should show up in Samsung's e-shop momentarily to join the existing Galaxy A15 and A25.
Samsung's Galaxy A35 is a pricier mid-range phone with a great feature set, and it is the company's cheapest A-series phone to boast an IP rating for dust and water resistance — IP67, to be precise.
Speaking of build quality, the Galaxy A35 has a plastic frame but boasts a glass back panel and Gorilla Glass Victus+ screen protection. The Infinity-O display has a 6.6-inch diagonal, a resolution of 2340 x 1080, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a brightness of up to 1,000 nits with Vision Booster technology.
More specs and pricing details for the USA
At nighttime, the Galaxy A35 offers enhanced Nightography and Night Portrait mode. The camera system supports 12-bit HDR and boasts OIS (optical image stabilization) and VDIS (video digital image stabilization).
The A35 has a 50MP primary camera with PDAF and OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide shooter, a 5MP macro sensor, and a 13MP selfie camera. You can record 4K@30fps videos with the front and rear shooters.
Other specs include expandable storage, an under-display fingerprint sensor, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, Android 14 with One UI 6.1 (sans Galaxy AI), and a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging. The Galaxy A35 also benefits from Samsung Knox Vault, which makes it a good low-cost choice for business users.
While the lower-cost Galaxy A25 uses the Exynos 1280 chip, the Galaxy A35 is powered by the same Exynos 1380 SoC employed by the Galaxy A54 last year. It is superior to the Exynos 1280.
The official launch announcement mentions only one memory configuration: 6GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage. However, Samsung could release other memory specs soon.
In the USA, the Galaxy A35 starts at $399. For a limited time, buyers can bundle the A35 with the Galaxy Buds FE and receive a 30% discount on the wireless earbuds. The phone arrives in the USA in two color options: Awesome Lilac and Awesome Navy.
