Samsung Galaxy M35 5G (Moonlight Blue,8GB RAM,128GB Storage)| Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+| AnTuTu Score 595K+ | Vapour Cooling Chamber | 6000mAh Battery | 120Hz Super AMOLED Display| Without Charger

Bought this phone for Rs 13749 in the Great Indian Sale.Package does not include a charger, so keep that in mind.>>DESIGN: 7/10Nothing special, typical samsung design with 3 vertically stacked cameras.Display bezels are a bit thicker than the competition but they are uniform on all sides.Plastic back does not look good, no matter which color you choose, but a back cover solves that problem.>>DISPLAY : 10/10The best part about this device is the display, 1080p super amoled with punchy colors and great viewing angles. Samsung finally moved on from outdated U shaped notches and brought a punch hole.If you like viewing content then you are in for a treat. Display quality is comparable to what other brands offer in a segment above.>>SOUND: 9/10Dual speakers with dolby sound, ideal for media consumption. Upper speaker has a bit less volume compared to the bottom one, still it gives a good stereo effect.Sound is crisp, loud and clear.>>SOFTWARE : 10/10Another great aspect of this device. Well designed one ui with tons of features and device level optimizations. Bloatware is present, but can be uninstalled easily.Software support is just unbeatable : 4 major os updates and 5 years of security patches.One thing to note that goodlock is not available, but a lot of 3rd party workarounds are available.>>PERFORMANCE : 8/10Surprise, surprise. A well performing phone budget phone from samsung, isn't it great? Antutu scores are above 600k and real life performance is also good. I'm not a gamer , for me the performance is more than enough. no lags , no stutters and no app crashes.Phone doesn't heat up in normal usage and video calls, can't tell about gaming, coz I'm not a gamer.>>CAMERA : 9.5/10One of the best set of cameras available on any budget phone. PERIOD.50 MP main camera has OIS and clicks great photos with typical samsung colors and great details.8 MP ultrawide is good for occasional photography and making wide angle videos. Wish it was 13MP.2 MP macro is useless as always. Just don't know why manufacturers give it.13 MP Selfie camera is good, produces social media ready pictures.4k video capture is supported from both front and back cameras & you can also switch in between wide and normal lenses just like Iphones. OIS is not available in videos, but the EIS works well.>>BATTERY : 9/10Battery life is great, gives a screen on time of 8-9 hours on a single charge. Will easily last 2 days on medium usage and 1 full day on heavy usage. Charging is slow, even with the 25 watt charger that samsung sells for Rs 999, it takes 1.5 hrs to charge fully. I'm getting 2 days backup with 5g turned on all the time and about an hour of video calls and some social media.>>VERDICT:Finally a great budget phone from Samsung that actually peforms well. Camera is great, display is beautiful, speakers are good , battery life is descent and software support is unmatched. Plus the brand value of samsung and knox safety along with it make this a great deal for people who do not game a lot.For gamers please choose some other device.

I had recently ordered this phone and it's one of the best options under budget and for the people who do not use phone for prolonged durations. The functioning and screen is excellent . It has triple camera setup but the camera quality at this price is way above average seizing memories with exceptional sharpness and clarity. The battery life is decent but it gets a little heated when used for long duration but none the less it's not a bad option. The device features quick charging functionality. The display quality is good. During the initial time the processor was good but eventually it slowed down and phone gets hung often. The phone doesn't have an IP certification due to which contact with water might damage it. This purchase has truly exceeded my expectations and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a premium smartphone experience at an affordable price.

Bought this phone with a bit of trepidation because 3 of the 7 Samsung phones I have bought prior to this one - either for myself or family - have developed a screen issue, Although only one was serious enough to require a visit to the service center. Thought of switching to a different company but seeing as all of them usually end up with some issue or the other, and the ratings of most of them end up around 4 stars anyway, I decided to stick with the known devil. And besides the display issue, most have served for a good time, including its ancestor, the M30, that this will replace. That too developed a screen issue but it was after 4 years of use so not complaining too much.Initial impressions so far has been decent. They have finally got rid of the water drop notch and gone with the punch hole in the M3x series, so that is good, it looks nicer. Even the overall design has been upgraded to bring it closer to the flagship S series with the flat sides and no camera island. No sharp edges either, so it is not uncomfortable to hold... except for the weight.Samsung phones, particularly the non flagship ones, are heavier than they should be for some reason (comparing to similarly spec'd phones by other companies), And this one is on the heavier side even among those at 222g. My primary phone too is heavy (not Samsung) so I am used to it, but I would nonetheless like a lighter phone. My father's M52 which has a 5000mah battery is 50g lighter and so much more comfortable in the hand and the pocket.If you add a case and a screen protector, the weight will increase even further so note that. The 6000mah battery however does its job and the phone is lasting me 1.5 - 2 days between charge. I'm not a heavy user though, no gaming or constant camera usage and such so your mileage may vary.I like the fingerprint sensor in the power button, very responsive. Better than the in display type I think. It supports sd card (hybrid sim - sd card) so that's good. The base 128gb model should be enough because of this, can upgrade storage with an sd card when needed.They have dropped the audio jack, but I have moved on to wireless so not a concern for me but I know there are die hard fans. A related drawback though is that FM radios are no longer possible since they need a wired earphone to act as antenna. I didnt use it too frequently but it was nice to have for those rare occasions.Not much of a camera guy so cant comment on how good or bad it is. Didn't notice any slowness or other issues, works well enough for my basic needs. No heating either - it was slightly warm during charging which is normal and again a little bit during video recording and the like, but that was barely so, less than during charging. I dont really do too many heavy processing type tasks, or even gaming.For regular needs this phone should be fine I think. If it stays this way for a few years I think I will be happy with this phone. On paper it seems to be a good phone at a decent price. I took a gamble by buying it soon after launch, without waiting for reviews. I havent noticed any drawbacks so far and hopefully it wont give me any reason to regret later on. Fingers crossed. Giving it 5 stars for now, will update if anything happens.
