The Samsung Galaxy A35 5G offers some of Samsung's flagship features at a much more affordable price. The main and selfie cameras are fantastic, the display and speakers are impressive and the battery has plenty of staying power. However, the sluggish performance and large frame are a constant reminder that this is a budget smartphone.
