There's no shortage of options for people who want to upgrade to a modern smartphone but don't want to spend $1,000 to get the latest flagship. The Samsung Galaxy A35 is a prime example of that, and it's a phone with a bit screen and plenty of storage at a price that won't break the bank. Right now that price is even better than usual thanks to an Amazon sale that slashes the usual $400 price down to just $325. You can choose between two different colors, but you'll need to act soon -- we don't know when this price is going to 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.
