For Android users looking for a new phone, there is no shortage of options. If you're hoping for a modern smartphone but don't want to spend $1,000 to get the latest flagship model, consider the Samsung Galaxy A35. It's got a big screen and plenty of storage at a price that won't break the bank. Now that price is at an all-time low, thanks to an Amazon sale that slashes the usual $400 price down to just $300. At the moment, Amazon has this offer running on two different colors. But if you want to lock in this price, you'll probably want to act soon because we don't know when it will change.
While it has the "Galaxy" branding, the A-series devices aren't quite as premium as their S-series counterparts, but that doesn't mean this phone isn't worth taking a look at. It has a large 6.6-inch display, which is bigger than similarly priced phones on the market today. It has 128GB of internal storage, but you can add a microSD card of up to 1TB to it with ease. Some of the other features include an IP67 rating to keep it safe against water, dirt and dust, along with a 5,000-mAh battery and a 50-megapixel main camera.

It's worth noting that the Galaxy A35 does not have a telephoto lens like the S24 series does, and the ultrawide camera is only 8 megapixels, whereas the S24 series is 16 megapixels. It also can't take portrait mode photos in the dark and doesn't support Galaxy AI. Overall, you still get a lot of phone for the price, though, 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 for a few years.
