The Samsung Galaxy A35 is back to a historically low price in the run-up to Black Friday

For Android users looking for a new phone, there are plenty of options to choose from. One we really like is the Samsung Galaxy A35, especially if you’re on a budget. It has a big screen and plenty of storage at a price that won’t break the bank. Now that price is again at a historic low. Just because Black Friday isn’t here yet doesn’t mean the early Black Friday deals haven’t arrived yet. Thanks to Amazon, the phone went down from its usual price of $400 down to just $300. Currently, Amazon has this offering in two different colors. But if you want to lock in this price, you’ll probably want to act quickly because we don’t know when it will change.

Although it has the “Galaxy” brand name, the A-series devices are not as premium as their S-series counterparts, but that doesn’t mean this phone isn’t worth a look. It has a large 6.6-inch screen, which is larger than similarly priced phones currently on the market. It has 128 GB of internal storage, but you can easily add a microSD card of up to 1 TB. Some of the other features include an IP67 rating to keep it safe from water, dirt and dust, along with a 5,000mAh battery and a 50-megapixel main camera.

It’s worth noting that the Galaxy A35 doesn’t have a telephoto lens like the S24 series, and the ultrawide camera only has 8 megapixels, while the S24 series has 16 megapixels. It also can’t take portrait photos in the dark and doesn’t support Galaxy AI. Overall, though, you still get a lot of phone for the price, making it the perfect phone deal for someone who doesn’t need the latest and greatest but still wants a new phone that will last a few years.
