The FCC within the US has licensed the Galaxy A35 with mannequin numbers SM-A356U, SM-A356U1, SM-A356V, and SM-A356E. The primary three signify the locked, unlocked, and Verizon variations of the cellphone particularly designed for the US market, whereas the latter corresponds to the worldwide model.
A latest entry in Geekbench 5 additionally appears to verify that the Galaxy A35 with mannequin quantity SM-A356U is on the best way quickly.
How a lot will the Samsung Galaxy A35 price?
Samsung Galaxy A34 was an on the spot hit, because it mixed very respectable specs with an reasonably priced price ticket.
We don’t count on that to vary, although there’s no concrete info relating to pricing at this stage. Let’s take a look at the costs of among the earlier fashions to know the place we’re standing:

What specs and options will the Samsung Galaxy A35 have?
On the time of writing, the Galaxy A35 has nonetheless not been formally introduced. Nevertheless, we have already got a fairly good thought of what to anticipate:
Design
Android Headlines launched leaked renders of the Galaxy A35, revealing three of the probably colors: Superior Ice Blue, Superior Lilac, and Superior Navy.
Additionally they exhibits a shift within the Samsung’s design language with a extra up to date entrance and the distinctive ‘Key Island’ design component. The cellphone’s body appears to exhibit a flat design, besides within the neighborhood of the aspect buttons, the place it protrudes barely.
The Galaxy A35 additionally appears to include a plastic body with a brushed steel end, opposite to earlier rumours of a steel body. Notably, there are not one of the seen antenna strains usually discovered on telephones with a steel body, nevertheless it’ll really feel much less premium than Samsung flagships.
On the rear, the cellphone options three cameras and an LED flash.
Show
Galaxy A34 is already geared up with a best-in-class 6.6-inch AMOLED show, full with a 120Hz refresh fee. We’d see a slight bump within the brightness of the show, however that may in all probability be all.
What’s encouraging, nevertheless, is the truth that the cellphone appears to lastly boast a punch-hole-shaped cutout for the selfie digicam, an enchancment over the Galaxy A34’s dated U-shaped notch.
The display’s bezels additionally seem thinner in comparison with the Galaxy A34, a constructive change, though the underside one appears barely thicker than the opposite three sides.
Efficiency
Efficiency was the important thing differentiating issue between the Galaxy A34 and Galaxy A54.
Whereas the A54 received Samsung’s upgraded Exynos 1380, the A34 was caught with the older MediaTek Dimensity 1080. However that may change on the following technology.
A latest Geekbench 5 itemizing (believed to be the Galaxy A35) suggests the cellphone might be geared up with the Exynos 1380 chip and 6GB of RAM. The machine can be more likely to be obtainable in 128- and 256GB storage variants.
When it comes to efficiency, it achieved a rating of 697 factors within the single-core take a look at and 2332 factors within the multi-core take a look at. As a reminder, the Galaxy A34 acquired 2312 factors in our multi-core take a look at, so it could possibly be a small step ahead.
Provided that the cellphone options the “s5e8835” motherboard, it appears to verify that the Galaxy A35 is certainly powered by the Exynos 1380 chip, versus the anticipated Exynos 1480. The latter is predicted to be the processor for the yet-to-be-announced Galaxy A55.
However no matter which chip might be liable for Galaxy A35’s processing energy, we’re anticipating a lift to efficiency.
Cameras
One other large issue that distinguished the Galaxy A34 from the Galaxy A54 was its cameras – particularly the principle shooter.
In keeping with GalaxyClub, the A35 might be geared up with the identical 50Mp primary sensor that’s within the Galaxy A54. Whereas rumoured upgrades on the Galaxy A55 imply it wouldn’t share this lens, the A35 ought to get a pleasant enhance to its photographic talents.
Nevertheless, it’s not but clear what the opposite rear lenses might be like – the Galaxy A34’s 8Mp ultrawide and 2Mp macro may each do with enhancements. We additionally don’t know if there’ll be any modifications to the 13Mp selfie lens.
In fact, there’ll nonetheless be variations of their secondary cameras. The Galaxy A35 continues to be anticipated to return with the growing older 8MP ultrawide and 5MP macro lens, in addition to a fairly underwhelming 13MP front-facing digicam. At the very least the principle lens is perhaps getting a big improve.
Battery and charging
Thus far, there isn’t a info on any battery or charging modifications for the Galaxy A35.
Except we hear something, an unchanged scenario in comparison with the Galaxy A34 is the almost definitely – a 5000mAh battery with 25W wired charging, however no wi-fi charging.
It’s additionally value noting that you simply’ll in all probability nonetheless need to make with out a charging brick within the field.
Software program
The newest Geekbench 5 entry additionally appears to verify that the A35 operates on Android 14, that includes One UI 6. It’s extremely more likely to be true as we’re already after the official launch of the Galaxy S24 sequence that comes with the brand new OS out of the field.
Don’t count on the A35 to match the flagship Galaxy S24 sequence with seven years of updates, although. However a continuation of 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of safety updates would nonetheless be spectacular.
Connectivity
In keeping with the FCC certification, the Galaxy A35 will boast 5G, Bluetooth, NFC, and Wi-Fi 6 for the connectivity choices.
