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.

Today's best Samsung Galaxy A35 deal
For context, the other phones on our best cheap phones list – namely the iPhone 13, Google Pixel 8a and OnePlus 12R – are at least $150 more expensive than the Galaxy A35, so this really is the best cheap phone you can buy right now.
If you're after a Samsung phone but have a bit more money to spend, then check out our best Samsung phones guide, which features the Galaxy A35 alongside more premium models including the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.
