Samsung Galaxy A35 5G 128GB Unlocked Phone with $40 Amazon Gift Card (Navy Blue) 128GB Unlocked Android Smartphone, AMOLED Display, Advanced Triple Camera System, Expandable Storage
The Amazon gift card bundle is valid until April 28 and may ship separately from the phone. (Why it's more than just a digital gift card, we'll probably never know.) The Galaxy A35 comes unlocked with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but you can always expand it to 1TB using a Micro SD card.
What sets the Galaxy A35 apart from other budget phones in its price range is its large 6.6-inch Full High Definition (FHD) AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. For reference, the comparable Google Pixel 7a has a 6.1-inch FHD screen (Apple's budget iPhone SE only has 4.7 inches). However, the performance of the Exynos 1380 processor is not as powerful as that of high-end phones, but it is still sufficient for most people's daily use.
The battery capacity of the Galaxy A35 is 5,000mAh, which matches the battery size of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. According to Samsung, it can provide two days of power on a single charge.
Note that since this is Samsung's A series, it will be missing some of the more advanced features, such as the high-end cameras that the S series has, as well as the Galaxy AI features that launched in January, but it's possible that Samsung will bring AI features to it later. Galaxy A35.
