Full Story
The Galaxy A35 is a yet-to-be-launched mid-range phone from Samsung. But hey, we got a sneak peek of its renders leaked in the early days of 2024.
It’s logical to think that the Galaxy A35 would be a bit of an upgrade from the Galaxy A34. But the internet’s been pretty hush-hush on the specifics.
Let’s take a step back for a moment. The Galaxy A34, introduced about a year ago, was quite the showstopper. It boasted a large 6.6-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
Under the hood, the Galaxy A34 had a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chipset. It was paired with a few memory options: 6/128GB, 8/128GB, or 8/256GB RAM.
But here’s the twist. Thanks to a benchmark listing (shout out to Nashville Chatter), we’ve got some spicy news. Samsung’s ditched MediaTek for the Galaxy A35, opting for its homebrew chipset, the Exynos 1380.
The Geekbench listing spilled some more beans. The Galaxy A35 will pack at least 6GB RAM. Not a shocker, really.
There’s been some chatter about the Galaxy A35 featuring a 6.6-inch flat display. But that’s pretty much all we got so far.
Here’s something interesting. The Galaxy A35 will ship with Android 14, fresh out of the box. If Google keeps up its yearly release schedule, this phone might get four major Android OS updates.
The Galaxy A34 made its debut in March last year. So, it’s a safe bet that its younger sibling, the Galaxy A35, will show up around the same time this year.
