What the reviewers said

3/5Jun 3, 2025

Cheap and stylish with long battery life and strong update support, but sluggish performance and a dim display hold it back; better alternatives exist.

  • Long battery life, lasting well over a day
  • Modern design with IP67 rating
  • Clean One UI software
  • Six years of OS and security updates
  • Feels well-built with Gorilla Glass Victus+ on back
  • Poor performance under multitasking and gaming
  • Display lacks brightness and color punch
  • Cameras disappoint in low light
  • Slow 25W wired charging
  • Ultrawide and macro cameras add little value

A modest upgrade over the Galaxy A25 with better durability, bigger screen and newer chip, but it is dim, slow-charging and closely resembles the Galaxy A35, so rivals are tough…

  • IP67 water and dust resistance, a step up from predecessor
  • Larger 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display
  • Exynos 1380 chip brings modest performance gain
  • Longer software update support than the A25
  • Lower price than the previous generation at launch
  • Display peaks around 745 nits, weak in sunlight
  • Battery life only average; 25W charging is slow
  • Design still looks dated with thick bezels
  • No eSIM support and no headphone jack
  • Looks almost identical to the Galaxy A35 internally

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
