Yesterday, we gave you an exclusive look at the Galaxy A55, Samsung’s upcoming premium mid-range smartphone. The device is expected to debut alongside the Galaxy A35 in a few months, which is a slightly less premium offering. So, without wasting much time, we also bring exclusive official renders of the latter courtesy of our trusted, confidential source.
Samsung Galaxy A35 exclusive official renders
Samsung is readying the Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 in the same three colors: Awesome Iceblue, Awesome Lilac, and Wesome Navy (shown in a gallery below). The two handsets sport an identical design too. This means the latter features the Key Island button design, which the company introduced with the Galaxy A15 and Galaxy A25 last month. As part of this design, Samsung has created a bulge on the frame to house the power and volume keys on the right side.
The rest of the frame is completely flat and has rounded corners. While there have been rumors about Samsung equipping the Galaxy A35 with a metallic frame, that doesn’t appear to be the case. The renders shared with us by our source don’t feature any antenna lines on the frame, hinting at a plastic build. The renders of the Galaxy A55, which is also rumored to get a metallic frame, do have antenna lines.
The switch from a U-shaped notch on the Galaxy A34 to a punch-hole design on the Galaxy A35 is confirmed, though. The display has thick bezels with the chin thicker than the rest of the bezels. On the back, there’s an identical vertical camera array with no universal housing. As expected, Samsung has equipped the phone with three cameras. The LED flash unit is next to the camera setup. There’s no change to the rear design.
A close look reveals that the Galaxy A35 is slightly thicker than the Galaxy A55. However, the latter has its camera lenses protruding further away from the rear panel. Including the camera thickness, the premium model is bulkier. The camera protrusion of the former is minimal. It would be difficult to tell the difference between the two without seeing the phone up close, though. They are so identical.
The Galaxy A35 may get a much-needed camera upgrade
Rumors say Samsung will equip the Galaxy A35 with a 50MP primary rear camera. It is a much newer sensor and a major camera hardware upgrade over the Galaxy A34’s 48MP unit. However, the rest of the cameras may remain unchanged, including the 13MP selfie shooter. Not much else is known about the new mid-range phone. We expect more leaks about it in the next few weeks, particularly after the Galaxy S24 launch.
