Amazon’s two-day Prime Day sales event kicks off on July 16 this year, but you needn’t wait for the best Prime Day deals to drop if you’re in the market for a new cheap smartphone.
Way ahead of Prime Day, Amazon has seen fit to offer the Samsung Galaxy A35 for a record-low $349.99 (down from $399.99), which is a price we’re unlikely to see bettered in the coming weeks. The newly released handset ranks as the best phone under $400 in our best cheap phones guide, and it’s now even more deserving of that title.
The Galaxy A35 offers a great-looking display, impressive gaming performance, and highly customizable software. It charges a little too slowly for our liking, and its cameras aren’t anything ground-breaking, but if you’re simply looking for a future-proof Android handset that won’t break the bank, then the Galaxy A35 is absolutely worth considering.
