Samsung Malaysia has announced that the Galaxy A35 5G and A55 5G will be available in Malaysia next week. Unlike the US market, we are getting both models. These are Samsung’s latest mid-range devices which replace last year’s Galaxy A34 and A54.
Samsung Galaxy A35 and A55 Malaysia availability and colours
The Samsung Galaxy A35 and A55 will be on sale in Malaysia starting next Friday, 22nd March 2024. You can purchase them at any Samsung Experience Stores, Samsung Authorised Retailers, Samsung Online Store and Samsung Brand Stores on Shopee and Lazada. So far Samsung Malaysia has not revealed the official pricing but we reckon they might offer pre-order deals similar to last year’s Galaxy A series.
The Galaxy A35 and A55 will be offered in three colours – Awesome Lilac, Awesome Navy and Awesome Iceblue.
Samsung Galaxy A35 and A55 Malaysia Specs
The Samsung Galaxy A35 and A55 now get a tweaked design and both share a lot of things in common, especially the display. Upfront, both get a 6.6″ 120Hz Full HD+ Super AMOLED display which features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+. Both devices get glass backs and a new slightly raised bump on the side frame that houses the volume rocker and power button. The Galaxy A55’s frame is metal while the A35 uses plastic.
Under the hood, the Galaxy A55 runs on a newer Exynos 1480 chip which has AMD RDNA2-based GPU. The device is mated with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Meanwhile, the cheaper A35 runs on the Exynos 1380, which powers last year’s Galaxy A54, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
In the camera department, both A35 and A55 have similar camera setups. The base Galaxy A35 get a triple-camera setup with a 50MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide-angle shooter and a 5MP macro shooter. The Galaxy A55 shares the same setup but it gets a higher resolution 12MP ultra-wide camera.
For selfies, both the Galaxy A35 and A55 get a single punch-hole camera with the A35 getting a 13MP selfie shooter while the A55 gets a higher resolution 32MP selfie camera.
Both devices come with 5,000mAh battery which supports 25W fast wired charging via USB-C. Samsung also says the new Galaxy A35 and A55 duo is the first in the Galaxy A series to feature Samsung Knox Vault, which is a secured and isolated subsystem designed to be tamper-proof. Like the previous generation, you also get IP67-rated dust and water resistance and it also supports WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, 5G and NFC.
Unlike the Galaxy S24 series, the latest Galaxy A35 and A55 are only promised four years of major Android OS upgrades and five years of security support. Out of the box, it runs on Android 14 with the latest OneUI 6.1 skin.
