Samsung Electronics is set to unveil its latest smartphone, the Galaxy M35, in India on July 17. The announcement comes after the device initially debuted in Brazil back in March, with subsequent teasers hinting at its imminent arrival in the Indian market. The confirmation of the launch date, confirmed by GSM Arena, dispels earlier speculations, aligning perfectly with Amazon's Prime Day sales event scheduled for July 20 and 21.
The Galaxy M35 features a robust set of specifications, highlighted by Samsung's Exynos 1380 SoC.
It boasts a 6.6-inch 1080x2340 120 Hz Super AMOLED display, offering a peak brightness of 1,000 nits and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+. The device is equipped with a versatile camera setup, including a 50 MP main sensor with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 5 MP macro camera. For selfie enthusiasts, there's a 13 MP front-facing camera.
Powering these features is a substantial 6,000 mAh battery with support for 25W wired charging, according to GSM Arena. While the promotional image showcases a simulated design with a disclaimer regarding potential variations in actual colours, the Galaxy M35 promises a sleek and modern aesthetic.
Upon its launch, the Samsung Galaxy M35 will be available for purchase on Amazon.
Samsung's strategic timing aligns the release with Amazon's Prime Day.
Enthusiasts and tech-savvy consumers alike can anticipate the Galaxy M35's debut, as it brings cutting-edge technology and robust performance capabilities to the competitive mid-range smartphone segment in India.
Samsung recently launched a bunch of new smartphones and tablets in India, including, Galaxy S24 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy A55 5G. There are also a number of new M and F-series phones that have been launched recently.
India's smartphone market shipped 34 million smartphone units in the first quarter of 2024. It also registered a 11.5 per cent growth YoY (year-over-year), making it the third consecutive quarter of growth in shipments, as per the Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker by International Data Corporation.
However, the share entry level segment in all smartphones of upto USD 100 declined to 15 per cent, down from 20 per cent a year ago. Xiaomi continued to lead this space, followed by Poco (2nd) and itel (3rd).
The average selling price (ASP) of smartphone remained flat YoY and QoQ at USD 263, ending the streak of strong ASP rise for the last several quarters.
The share of Apple, with an ASP of USD 953, had a record first-quarter shipment, growing by 19 per cent YoY. Price discounts, special deals on e-Tailer platforms, and attractive financing options led to this consistent growth for Apple beyond the festive season. iPhone 14/15 made up 56 per cent of shipments for Apple.
