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| AI|Without Charger

Shifted from IQOO Z6 5g to this. Although this is cheaper than that phone, it is way better in terms of UI experience, responsivenes and speed. And display is mindblowing. It looks odd but that is fine when using a case. Overall a must buy if compared to other options in this range. Samsung UI experience is something to die for.

This is a very good phone at this price point. It performed as I expected. The connectivity through phone, wifi and Bt was good. The display was excellent. So was the sound. The camera came up to expectations. It is bulky may be due to the large battery. But that was not compensated by charging and battery life. My only peeve is about Fast Charging. On plugging on to the charger, it displays ‘Fast Charging’ but within seconds it shows only ‘charging’. I have used the same charger and cord for my older Samsung which shows Fast Charging. I tried various combinations of settings for Battery and Charging but they were of no use.I took it to the Samsung Showroom. The lady there tried everything and finally said that the disappearing ‘Fast charging ‘ display is a feature in the current series of phones. But Fast charging is happening in the background. I was unconvinced. At about 50% charge it shows I hour 18 minutes for full charge.I hope Samsung addresses this problem.I am hoping that with the Android upgrade next month this issue may be solved.

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.

We r looking for Smart phone under 20k range. After review of all phones, we final M35 due to camera quality, Atom dts base sound quality, Screen Glass protection, Picture quality and 4 update of android and security...

Pros:- Great battery backup. With moderate usage on WiFi, can easily last upto 2 days. Also, there is very less battery drain when idle, especially overnight. Definitely one of the best with 6000 mAh. One of my primary reasons to buy this phone.- Camera quality at this price is way above average.- Finally, punch hole display from Samsung for M series and at this price point.- One UI software is very stable and comes with plenty of customisations.- No issues in performance with multitasking involving streaming videos, music, social media apps, browser surfing, etc. Can't say about gaming as I am not a gamer.- Up to 4 gens of software updates which hardly any company provides even with flagship phones. But need to keep in mind that the product page on Samsung's website clearly states that this is not a promise but just their current plans, and it can be changed anytime at their own discretion.Cons:- Bulky (which is expected considering the massive battery), holding with one hand for extended period of time causes discomfort, specially if you are used to phones weighing below 175g.- Headphone jack missing. Considering the thickness of the phone, this could easily have been accommodated.- Phone does not come with any IP rating which is surprising, so any contact with water might potentially cause damage.- There is a noticeable battery drain with 5G network, but could be improved in future software updates.- Not specific to this phone but with all Samsung phones: Missing charging adaptor, back cover, and screen protector. So, need to shell out extra money for these.
