Punch-Hole Infinity-O Display and Gorilla Glass Victus+ Value

The Galaxy A35 5G inherited the best traits of the prior generation’s more expensive A54. Upgrading the front glass to flagship-grade Gorilla Glass Victus+ and replacing the teardrop notch with a modern Infinity-O cutout significantly elevates its visual appeal. Powered by the 5nm Exynos 1380 with 50MP OIS photography and Samsung Knox security vault, it offers stellar value for under $400.

Key Strengths

  • Flagship Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ provides top-tier scratch resistance
  • Modern Infinity-O punch-hole display replaces the dated teardrop notch
  • Full IP67 dust and water submersion resistance rarely found at this price
  • Generous 5000mAh battery delivers up to two full days of endurance
  • 4 major Android OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches

Points to Consider

  • Secondary 8MP ultrawide and 5MP macro cameras produce modest results
  • 25W charging is relatively slow compared to 67W-100W Chinese competition
  • No headphone jack or charger included in the packaging
