I have had my new Samsung A35 for a week now and just love it. I read the many articles about the potential fall-out of the 3G network and decided it was the right time to upgrade my good Oppo phone of 6 years to a modern phone with 5G capability. I am a fan of Android phones given it is so much easier to connect them to my computer and transfer or add files as I need them. I am appreciative of the fact that many Seniors may not be able to purchase high level mobile phones but need current model phones with good accessibility and user-friendly features. The A35 does all of that and more.

I very much like the quality of the camera, and the quality of video play backs of any video's stored in the phone. I liked the option of having the extra storage capacity through an additional micro-sd card which I have now installed and its nice that both the Sim card and the micro-sd cards fit in the one card holder drawer.

I have quickly adjusted to the phone and with GPay I have a very useful tool with me at all times. I can most certainly recommend the A35 to anybody seeking a mid-price range mobile phone and I am very confident that Senior's like me will quickly adapt and also find this mobile phone of real benefit to their day-to-day communication needs. I am confident now of having a reliable, up to date mobile phone which will last me for some years to come. Thank you, Samsung, for bring this phone to your collection.

So... Here's my long-term review after using it for a few days now. It looks pretty nice, pretty minimalist design and colors, just wish they used a different design, since this is way too overused, but it does give that S24 look.The display is vibrant, It's nice and choppy and very smooth. The processor is fast for a 300 dollar phone, and mixed with that 8 gigs of RAM, perfect. It is nice for gamers, but not recommended for intense gaming. Cameras are spectacular for the price, no regrets on it. That 50 megapixel camera has great photo and video quality. Same for the selfie camera. The battery is amazing, I always manage to end the day without having to charge my phone. Buuuutttt....... One bad thing about it is how slowwwwww it charges, at this price point, you'd be expecting to get maybe like 50 or 60 watts, but nope, you get 25... But, aside from that, I recommend it to people who want a nice looking, minimalist phone, who also intend to use it for some medium-powered tasks and whatnot, who also don't care about charging speeds and all that fancy stuff. Overall, pretty great phone.

I have always own a Samsung phone! Never tried anything else always Samsung. I have always like the quality of the phone and the reliability of the Samsung product. I also have a 52 inch Samsung flat TV in my bedroom that i have had for 10 years! It has the most beautiful picture on it! However, i just had to put that in there! Ooo i also have the Samsung washer and dryer (smart) 3yrs old.. My resent phone the A35 I love it! i am still learning the AI stuff it is quite interesting and challanging . I still have alot to learn about this phone because so much has changed since i had a upgrade. This phone replaced tthe A51! You cannot go wrong when purching a Samsung phone. No matter where i am i can make and receive calls thats what i most like about the Samsung products! Short story, my dad had Demintia and also wore hearing aids. About the 4th stage he could no longer hear on the landline. His sisters and brothers had not talked to him in months until i moved back home to help mom take care of dad. It was the A51 and a setting for hearing that it has i put it on! oh what joy on his face when he could hear the different siblings on the phone. You could only imagine the huge smile on their faces to hear their brothers voice and to hold a conversation with him at stage 4. It was Samsung and the setting option that was provided on the phone. From that day on dad would keep my phone in his top left hand pocket with the gospel music playing..long battery span...love it! R.I.H.

I used to have an a40 and aftershave 2 years made the switch to an a40. At first the size difference was more a thing for me, because of emotional reasons and the fact it takes more space in my pocket. But soon i realised the benefits of the size. Beter battery

life and less mistakes when typing ( even tough i dont have large fingers). Before you start about my english grammer, i would like to remind you that i live in the Netherlands and it is self taught and i'm often to lazy to do a grammer check. My son who is 11 years

uses my old phone now. Sometimes i look at it and get a nostalgic feel, but would i want to go back? No, the practicality of the a 40 in daily use is just good.

If you are not someone make a living with taking pictures and even then i would advise to get a pro camera instead of any mobile phone, or want to use it for pro gaming on full hd ( why on your phone instead a 55inch screen). So simply said if you want a phone which can be used as a personal assistant to make notes, schedule meetings, chat and thalk with ppl then a40 is the one. Yes you can pay 3 times more for more hardware, but its not gonna make your mail reply go faster. So prise quality in mind. It's the wise thing to buy.
