Introduction

The Samsung Galaxy A35 SM-A356EZKMMEA, the Middle East version, promises a compelling blend of style, performance, and affordability. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting this 5G smartphone through its paces, testing its camera, battery life, and overall user experience. This in-depth review will share my findings, helping you decide if it’s the right phone for you.

Features

The Galaxy A35 boasts a vibrant 6.6-inch HD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and gaming incredibly fluid. Its sleek design, available in Awesome Navy (among other colors), feels premium in hand. The triple rear camera system – a 50MP wide-angle lens, an 8MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens – promises versatile photography options. The 13MP front-facing camera is also quite capable for selfies and video calls. The phone runs on Android and features 6GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking. A massive 5000mAh battery is included to power it through all-day use.

Performance

In daily use, the Galaxy A35 SM-A356EZKMMEA handled multitasking with ease. The 120Hz refresh rate is a noticeable upgrade from 60Hz, making the whole user interface feel snappy and responsive. Gaming performance was solid for casual titles; however, more demanding games might show some minor frame rate drops. The 5000mAh battery consistently lasted over a day on a single charge, even with moderate to heavy usage, which is exceptionally good. The camera performed admirably in good lighting conditions, delivering sharp and detailed images. Low-light performance was decent, but not spectacular; image noise is noticeable in low light situations. The 5G connectivity was fast and reliable during testing.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Excellent battery life
• Smooth 120Hz display
• Good camera performance in daylight
• 5G connectivity
• Affordable price point

Cons:

• Low-light camera performance could be improved
• Gaming performance might lag on demanding titles
• Expandable memory is limited to microSD, not the preferred UFS standard.

Final Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy A35 SM-A356EZKMMEA offers incredible value for its price. The long battery life, smooth display, and capable camera make it a strong contender in the mid-range market. While there’s room for improvement in low-light photography and high-end gaming performance, these shortcomings are minor compared to its overall strengths. If you’re looking for a reliable, feature-rich phone without breaking the bank, the Galaxy A35 SM-A356EZKMMEA is a solid choice.
