The Y35 V2205, in its striking Dawn Gold finish, promises a lot for its price point: a powerful Snapdragon processor, ample RAM and storage, a high-resolution display, and a versatile triple-camera system. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting this phone through its paces, and here’s my comprehensive review.

Key Features

The Y35 boasts a compelling set of features, starting with its vibrant 6.58-inch FHD+ display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor, coupled with 8GB of RAM (expandable to 16GB!), ensures smooth multitasking and app performance. Internal storage of 128GB is further expandable via microSD card, providing ample space for apps, photos, and videos. The 5000mAh battery with 44W fast charging is a standout feature, delivering all-day battery life with quick top-ups.

The camera system is another highlight. The 50MP main sensor captures detailed images, while the 2MP bokeh and macro lenses add versatility. The 16MP front-facing camera is also surprisingly capable for selfies and video calls.

Performance & Battery Life

In everyday use, the Y35 performs admirably. The Snapdragon 680 handles demanding tasks with relative ease. I experienced minimal lag while multitasking between multiple apps, including resource-intensive games. The 90Hz refresh rate makes scrolling through menus and web pages incredibly smooth and responsive. The 5000mAh battery easily lasted a full day on a single charge, even with moderate to heavy usage. The 44W fast charging is a game-changer, allowing for a significant charge in a short period. I consistently saw impressive charging speeds, often exceeding the manufacturer’s claims.

Camera Performance

The camera system is a mixed bag. The 50MP main sensor delivers excellent detail in well-lit conditions. Colors are generally accurate, and dynamic range is acceptable. However, low-light performance could be improved, with images exhibiting noticeable noise in darker environments. The bokeh and macro lenses are functional but not exceptional, producing usable but not breathtaking results. The 16MP selfie camera, however, consistently produces pleasing results with good detail and accurate skin tones.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Large battery, fast charging, smooth display, ample RAM and storage, good main camera performance in daylight
• Cons: Average low-light camera performance, some minor bloatware pre-installed

Final Verdict

The Y35 V2205 offers excellent value for its price. The combination of a large battery, fast charging, a smooth display, and ample RAM and storage makes it a great option for everyday users. While the camera performance isn’t top-tier, it’s still quite capable for most users. If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable Android smartphone, the Y35 is definitely worth considering. I would happily recommend it.
