One of the newest models in Samsung's M line arrives as a great value for money option

After full evaluation of the M55, Showmetech had the opportunity to analyze another outstanding product from the M line of Samsung. Sold exclusively on the brand's online channels, the new Galaxy M35, focusing on high-resolution cameras, long battery life and a large 6,6-inch screen.

We received the model in dark blue and carried out the necessary tests to fully understand its functions, performance and structure to respond: after all, it is worth buying the Galaxy M35?

Design

Starting with one of the topics that attracts the most attention, the design of the Galaxy M35 is one of the main positive points. Weighing around 222 grams, it is a relatively light device — a little heavier than the M55, belonging to the same line, which weighs 180 grams –, occupying the same weight range as the company's other models.

With dimensions of 162,3 x 78,6 x 9,1 mm, its thickness is a little thicker than slim cell phones. It may be a small problem for users who have small hands, but nothing that significantly interferes with everyday life. As a negative point, the plastic composition of the cover and sides ends up becoming an easy target for falls to the ground, appearing certain fragility. Of course, the right film and cover can resolve the issue.

On the left side, as usual, there is a dual-chip cradle, capable of housing two Dual-SIM chips or a MicroSD-type chip and memory card. The direct side, in turn, features the two well-known volume up and down buttons, in addition to the button responsible for locking the screen and turning on the phone, where it is also possible to perform the fingerprint recognition service. Both buttons on this side are larger, making them easier to operate.

At the bottom you can find the sound output, next to the device charging port in USB-C 2.0 format and the noise-cancelling microphone, which completes the composition. Finally, at the top is where we find the normal microphone.

A recurrence of the latest generation devices, this one features the absence of a P2 input for headphones, which could be a negative point if the user prefers models with this option.

Visually, Galaxy M35 It's very beautiful. The fabric with 3D lighting on the back reveals all its charm, being one of the great highlights of the innovative design. In the dark blue color it is possible to see the device's play of tones even better, but nothing very sophisticated. It is worth mentioning that the model can still be found in gray and light blue, offering a wider range of options.

Fabric

with technology FHD + Super AMOLED, the screen is a total of 6,6 inches up to 120Hz and vision booster, improving colors and expanding dynamic range when analyzing the scene. The resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels provides excellent definition of the image presented to the user.

The front camera gives the feeling of unity with the screen, which is not usually a good decision for aesthetic reasons, but mainly for functionality, failing to take advantage of a cleaner space on the device. The edges of the Galaxy M35 are thin, contributing to a fair viewing size. There is only 83,8% utilization of the front part. The low point is the lack of anti-reflective finish, something that would work very well in this case, just as it happens in the A and S lines.

The main effect of this is marks on the screen, even with automatic brightness technology, called vision booster, trying to fix part of the problem.

The vivid quality and sharpness of the colors are a reflection of the device's refresh rate, a highlight of the cell phone. The features implemented in the smartphone influence the reduction of bluer tones, known to be harmful to vision.

Back camera

In short, the Galaxy M35's cameras are based on the classic format of three rears and one front. With high quality definition, the back is made up of the wide, 50 MP; ultrawide, 8 MP; and the macro, 5 MP. However, the main highlight is the selfie, on the front.

Regarding coloring, the photos taken by the Galaxy M35 are quite impressive, despite not representing as detailed a photograph as a cinema camera. If you are part of the team that enjoys an interesting play of colors, this cell phone could be the ideal option, as it doesn't present too many exaggerations, having an honest performance and great for videos and personal recordings.

A big surprise of the smartphone is the highly varied catalog of filters and modes that can be enabled. On the rear cameras, it is possible to identify the “Warm” filters, responsible for redder tones; “Cold”, where you can play with the color blue; “Clear”, being perfect for showing details in the photograph; “Icy”, which prioritizes off-white tones; “Florescer”, ideal for dark scenes; “Ivory”, highlighting cold colors; “Soft”, for yellowish tones; “Kiss Me”, where it is possible to identify a more intimate atmosphere; “Gray Scale”, with a very strong presence of this color; and “B & W”, the traditional black and white.

Evaluating in a general context, the cell phone has little fluidity when it comes to handling the cameras, which can make it a little heavy to find the ideal angle. Admittedly, the function takes a while to calibrate the image with the requested filter, and the focus also seems a little slow when capturing images. The photos taken of environments and landscapes are very good, unless you need to use zoom. Being able to reach 4,5 meters in the 10x option, the recording is somewhat blurred.

Frontal camera

Now talking about the great protagonist of the Galaxy M35, the selfie dominates and draws attention for its capacity. With the front camera also having 50MP, it can produce professional photos. Just like the rear, it can also capture 4k videos and photos, making it a great alternative for content creators and people passionate about photographic recordings. For the front, fluidity works better with a more calibrated focus.

For the selfie, Samsung decided to innovate. Among so many features, the device gives you the option of adjusting the framing according to the number of people in the photo. Furthermore, in the fun option you can add funny effects to your face.

Not to mention the possibility of editing your face in the filters tab. This way, you can change the softness, tone, eyes and align the jaw before taking the photo. Even though these are more basic features, they give you the possibility of not having to edit the images. A feature that helps save time and delivers interesting results.

Establishing a comparison between the front and rear cameras, where both have 50MP, the selfie surprises with its result. However, the duel ends up being quite exciting, with both possibilities offering excellent quality photos, especially in relation to landscapes.

In addition to all the points already highlighted, we also want to highlight “Food”, “Slow Motion” and “Timelapse” modes, features that help with content creation and work honestly. There is also the “Motion Photo” option, which highlights the possibility of checking a few seconds before and after the recorded image, just by clicking and holding on it.

The night selfie mode is something that really makes the phone worth it. With impeccable sharpness, Nightography technology makes dark environments come to life, yielding excellent clicks, even in dimly lit places. Last but not least, the “Dual Recording” feature gives the user the chance to record and photograph like the BeReal app, a craze among young people, being able to record on the front and rear cameras at the same time.

It is necessary to be careful, as some buttons on the device end up causing significant heating of the device. It is worth being careful with excessive use to manage battery consumption well. However, the cooling system works properly and can relieve the equipment quickly.

The “Macro” function appears as the main negative point of the Galaxy M35 in relation to the cameras. In addition to not fulfilling what it promises, it also causes blur in all photos, and on top of that, it takes a long time to stabilize the images.

Processor

Owner of an Exynos 1380 processor with speeds of up to 2.4GHz, the device performs well in heavier tasks. It is not possible to feel the weight of more robust games, as in the case of EA Sports FC 24, Pokemon GO, Free Fire, Genshin impact and many others. Its processing provides clean graphics, maintaining the dynamics of applications, in addition to enhancing colors. The only problem appears when you spend a lot of time in these functions, causing the cell phone to heat up, even if performance doesn't drop.

Another high point is the 8GB memory. After all, even when you leave some applications in the background, the quality practically remains the same when you return. A feature that does not interfere in any way with the user experience. This fact also extends to social networks, without showing any weight when uploading new photos and videos.

Applications such as WhastApp, Instagram, TikTok, Google Drive can often end up forcing the operation of other devices, but this is not the case with the Galaxy M35. The smartphone's functionalities are performed very well, even after passing speed and optimization tests, even on social media.

Memory and storage

Thinking of the device as a corporate cell phone, for example, leaves nothing to be desired. With a storage capacity of 256GB, it easily supports the insertion of large files or applications that require more space.

To help with this topic, there is even a “Multicontrol” option already built into the device system. Here the user can integrate the M35 with other lines of the Galaxy Tap e Book, activating a number of working screens, all connected. The “Link to Windows” function also offers the opportunity to link the device with products outside of Samsung itself.

Connectivity and networks

With a 5G connection, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, it is perfect for daily internet use and also allows for more stable pairing. Initially, it uses the Android 14 version, with the possibility of updating for four generations, reaching up to 18. With a useful life expectancy of more or less five years, it can reach approximately the year 2029.

Battery

As with the M34, this device's battery has a capacity of 6000 mAh². This way, the Galaxy M35 can work for up to two full days without needing to be charged, using the cell phone more sparingly.

If it is necessary to increase the level of use of the device, you must be aware that the battery ends up being consumed more. However, it manages to reach the end of 24 hours with around 20%.

When purchasing the cell phone, be aware that the box comes with a standard 25W charger, which takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to fully charge. If very necessary, the user can also purchase (since it does not come with it) the 45W charger, with Super Fast Charging technology, which can fill the device's battery up to 100% within just 1 hour.

Audio

On the Galaxy M35, the sound is very present with Dolby Atmos technology, in a more immersive experience. It is possible to notice the quality as soon as you turn on the cell phone, as well as during experiences throughout use and, mainly, in the sound effects of applications.

Stereo sound is widely noticeable in the environment. It doesn't overcome street noise, such as traffic or other spaced-out places, but it still generates a respectful presence. In an environment where the acoustics are more favorable, the situation changes completely.

However, it is recommended to listen to the volume below 60%, so as not to have a blown-out sound. In the case of headphones, the quality appears to be much higher, because it presents bass and treble notes in a sound that emits a lot of energy.

Of course, this is an individual assessment and may vary depending on the headphones you prefer to use in your routine. Therefore, it will largely depend on your experience with the device.

Finally, the device's microphones show a very interesting functionality. By eliminating existing noise in the environment and focusing only on the voice being captured, background noise is satisfactorily reduced. In addition to being great for causality, it also helps with content creation and in the lives of professionals who live in turbulent places.

Price and availability

In the brand's own store the Galaxy M35 can be found for approximately R$2500,00. Alternatively, the device is available at Magazine Luiza for around R$ 1700,00, with a discount of more than 30% of the value. A great value for money if you want to purchase this cell phone.

Conclusion

If your question is is the Galaxy M35 worth it? The answer is yes. Of course, always according to your expectations and needs. Compared to other models, this one has a battery with great durability, as well as cameras with excellent functions, helping your videos and photos to be even more impressive. The 256GB storage and 8GB memory still have a positive influence on carrying out arduous tasks.

The main highlight is the cameras, which offer high quality on both the front and rear, in addition to processing that flows very well. Despite including filters and editing options already considered average, it is possible to stimulate creativity when making your favorite records.

As points that require attention, it is possible to highlight the simpler finishing materials and the rapid heating when necessary to use heavy applications for a long period. Despite including a great cooling system, the continuous increase in temperature can end up compromising the battery and complicating the device's useful life and long-term performance.
