7.8/10 by Nitansh Rastogi | 23 Apr 2024

The Samsung Galaxy A35 is an elegant smartphone with features that would meet the needs of modern, everyday consumers. But as with its predecessors, it carries a similar premium of Rs 30,999 for the base model of 128GB built-in storage to deliver the same. In the past few years, this upper mid-tier segment has drawn a lot of competition. So, if you want pure specs, you can find better options such as the Motorola Edge 50 Pro and Realme 12 Pro Plus. Both handsets ship with Qualcomm’s powerful 7 series processors and quad cameras at the back. If you’re looking for beauty with brains, then the Vivo V30 is also a good option, especially considering it’s the first V series handset with Zeiss certification for imaging.

8.6/10 by Shubham Raheja | 05 Mar 2024

Nothing’s proven that once you get the manufacturing in place, you can create a budget phone at an unbeatable price. The Phone (2a) isn’t for the hipsters or someone who just wants a clean UI – it’s for the masses. Its new Glyph lights are minimal and not in your face, it’s powerful enough to challenge some of the more expensive rivals, it’s got a decent pair of cameras, and it can last an entire day.
