Galaxy A54<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe chip has four 2.4GHz Cortex-A78 and four 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 CPU cores, and a 950MHz Mali G68 GPU. It is a 5G chipset and features Bluetooth 5.3 and dual-band Wi-Fi 6.<\/p>\n
The model available in Nepal comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, but the review unit I got has 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.<\/p>\n
The Exynos 1380 is a powerful SoC and it easily handles all the basic tasks and is also good for gaming. However, it’s not the best-performing chipset in this price range because the Dimensity 7200 Ultra on the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus is much more powerful.<\/p>\n
Still, the performance of the Exynos 1380 is more than enough for the majority of people.<\/p>\n
Gaming<\/h4>\n When we first tested the Samsung Galaxy A35, our main complaint was that the chipset was not well-optimized for gaming. That seems to have been fixed now. Previously, the PUBG Mobile game could only be set up to High frame rate even when the graphics was set to Smooth. Now, even with HDR graphics, it lets you set the frame rate to Ultra.<\/p>\n
When you set the graphics to Smooth, you can play at the Extreme frame rate, which is 60fps. The gameplay was very smooth and the average frame rate was also around 60fps. So, the gaming experience of the Exynos 1380 is now good.<\/p>\n
Another game I tried was the Genshin Impact. It is quite a demanding game. I set the graphics to Low and changed the fps to 60 for testing. I played for over an hour. There were a few frame drops, but the overall game was enjoyable. However, the phone gets hot, especially the upper portion. Using an IR thermometer, I measured 44 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n

They both have a 50MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide camera, 5MP macro camera, and a 13MP selfie camera. Both the front and main cameras can shoot up to 4K videos at 30fps, which is good.<\/p>\n
Main Camera<\/h4>\n The Galaxy M35 shoots at 12MP photos by default. The photos are great. They have pleasing colors, a wide dynamic range, and a good amount of detail. The white balance is also nice.<\/p>\n

Ultrawide Camera<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe ultrawide camera has a cooler look than the main camera. The detail is soft, plus the dynamic range is weaker. But considering it’s an ultrawide camera, the colors and details are decent for a mid-range device.<\/p>\n

Selfie<\/h4>\n The selfies too are impressive. The faces are exposed properly and appear natural. The HDR also works well. Overall, the front camera of the Samsung Galaxy M35 is good.<\/p>\n
