Samsung has quietly launched the Galaxy M35 5G in India, and it’s already turning heads with its pricing. The 6GB RAM, 128GB storage variant in Thunder Grey is available on Flipkart for just ₹15,488, thanks to an instant discount of ₹2,256. For that price, you’re getting a phone with a vibrant AMOLED display, a massive 6000mAh battery, and full 5G support — honestly, that’s a pretty great deal if you’re looking for a reliable phone under ₹16,000.

First Things First — This Phone is a Bit Chunky, But That’s a Good Thing

The Galaxy M35 does feel a little bulky in hand — it weighs around 222 grams and is slightly thicker than usual. But that’s because it comes with a massive 6000mAh battery. If you’re someone who hates charging your phone again and again, this is the kind of phone you’ll appreciate.

Design-wise, it’s got a solid feel. Samsung has used Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front — that’s premium-level protection usually seen in their expensive models. And even though it has a plastic frame, the glass back gives it a more premium finish.

AMOLED Display with 120Hz — Smooth, Bright, and Easy on the Eyes

Samsung knows how to make good screens, and the M35 continues that tradition. You get a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display that’s bright enough to use even under direct sunlight, thanks to its 1000 nits peak brightness.

The 120Hz refresh rate means scrolling and swiping feel buttery smooth — whether you’re watching reels, playing games, or just browsing your feed. It’s the kind of screen that makes everything look crisp and colorful.

Powered by Samsung’s Own Chip — Fast Enough for Daily Use

Instead of going with a Qualcomm processor, Samsung has used its in-house Exynos 1380 chipset here. This is the same chip they used in the more expensive Galaxy A54. So performance-wise, you’re in good hands.

Whether you’re switching between apps, doing online classes, or playing light to moderate games — the phone handles it all quite well. You can get it in options with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Plus, there’s support for a microSD card (but you’ll have to use the SIM slot for that).

Triple Camera Setup That Can Shoot 4K

Now, let’s talk cameras — Samsung has always done a decent job here, even in its budget phones. The Galaxy M35 features a 50MP main camera with OIS, so photos come out stable and clear even if your hands shake a bit.

You also get an 8MP ultra-wide lens for those group shots or wide landscape clicks, and a 2MP macro camera (honestly, most people won’t use this one much).

The front camera is 13MP, and here’s the cool part — both the front and back cameras can shoot 4K videos. That’s rare to see in this price range.

Giant 6000mAh Battery, But Charging Could’ve Been Faster

One of the main highlights of the Galaxy M35 is the massive 6000mAh battery. For most people, this means around two full days of usage on one charge — no stress even if you’re using it for work, entertainment, or social media.

But there’s a small catch — charging speed is capped at 25W. So it won’t charge super quickly like some other brands offer, but in return, it keeps the phone cooler and helps battery health in the long run.

Software, Connectivity & Everyday Use

The phone runs on Android 14 with Samsung’s One UI 6.1 on top. It’s smooth, clean, and full of useful features like Samsung Knox, Secure Folder, and more. Samsung has also promised long-term software support, which is a big plus if you plan to keep the phone for 3–4 years.

There’s no headphone jack here, but you do get stereo speakers for better sound quality. It supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and even NFC in select regions. Fingerprint unlock is side-mounted and works fast.

Should You Buy the Galaxy M35?

What makes the Galaxy M35 5G genuinely stand out isn’t just its big battery or AMOLED display — it’s the fact that Samsung has managed to bring the Exynos 1380 chipset and 4K video recording to a phone priced under ₹16,000. That’s something even many higher-priced phones skip.

Add to that Samsung’s reliable software updates and a clean, bloat-free UI, and you’ve got a phone that feels like a quiet power move in the mid-range space. It’s not trying to be flashy — it’s just built to last, and that’s what makes it a smart buy right now.
