This $300 Samsung phone looks as good as the Galaxy S25 – at a fraction of the price

Spring has come early. Over on Amazon, Samsung’s mid-range Galaxy A35 has received two deals. The first sees the smartphone receive a $75 discount, going from $400 to about $325. This applies to the Navy Blue and Lilac Pink color schemes.
The second deal is for the Galaxy A35 bundle, which includes a pair of the Galaxy Buds FE in Graphite. Both devices are available for roughly $395. Normally, they go for $500, so you are saving a good Benjamin here. And like before, the deal applies to both colors.

At the time of this writing, Samsung has made its new flagship series, the Galaxy S25, available for pre-order. These models will undoubtedly deliver a better user experience but are much more expensive. The base model alone costs $800. I would instead encourage you to check out the Galaxy A35. As our colleague Max Buonodonno highlighted in his review last year, the A35 balances “performance, quality, and price.”

The device boasts a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display that runs at a velvety smooth 120Hz refresh rate and outputs 1,000 nits of brightness. This allows the phone to look great even under direct sunlight. Next, you have the 5,000mAh battery, the same capacity as the new $1,300 Galaxy S25 Ultra, and it’s capable of lasting two days straight on a single charge.
The solid camera system delivers photographs with nice contrast and exposure balance. The colors look good, too, as they don’t look overly saturated.
