Samsung Galaxy M35 5G (Thunder Grey,6GB RAM,128GB Storage)| Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+| AnTuTu Score 595K+ | Vapour Cooling Chamber | 6000mAh Battery | 120Hz Super AMOLED Display| Without Charger

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.

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.

I m writing this review after using this phone for 8 months and it has been a great experience, the charging speed is good ,the phone gets fully charged in 1 and half hours ,gets slightly heated during charging which is ok , also gets a bit heated after long hours of use , the full charge lasts for about 6-7 hours with rough use and 5g connection, it consumes extra charge , look wise its great , beautiful built and colour , durable and outstanding functions with a lot of features added , just loving the experience of using samsung for the first time and might add things later on .

It's works just as they advertised it .THE DISPLAY is really good , after all it's a SAMSUNG OLED panel , the colour and viewing angles are astonishing .THE SOUND is crisp it's not too loud , it's on the comforting side but it is very crisp and it has DOLBY ATMOS support for compatible songs and videos too .THE PERFORMANCE is very good at this price point , it's not a gaming phone you have to keep that in mind it's an all-around balanced phone that checks all the boxes ... in that sense day to usage the performance is really good and heating isn't an issue the vapour chamber does work well . It keeps the phone cool , however you can absolutely do light gaming on it ... performance is very stable and it doesn't throttle at all .THE CAMERA is good it takes sharp and detailed images in good conditions and even in low lights the shots are decent ... The colour science on all the 3 cameras (excluding the macro lens) is very consistent . Shots taken are good , portrait mode has decent edge detection . Pictures are vivid and punchy coloured (as expected from SAMSUNG tuning)... Selfie are crisp too skin is almost perfect as the vivids the tones a bit .THE BATTERY is big changes grade , you can't kill the phone even if you use it all day ... even on heavy usage the phone lasted about a bit short of 1.5 days for me . The charging is capped to 25w but you have to buy the charger separately... but charging speed is fine . No complains on that .THE BUILD is really good , yes it is plastic frame with acrylic back but it's sturdy af ... front is Corning's Victus+ that's the same on from my Galaxy S22 , it has tougher Crack resistance but it can scratch , so I recommend using a protector film or glass .Overall the experience is reallllly good for the price I paid for it (₹18499 for 8 ,128GB variant) I will highly recommend this if you want an all-around balanced phone .
