Pros and Cons

Motorola Edge 40

Strengths

The display is smooth and bright with a curved 6.55 inch OLED, 1080p resolution, and extra fast 144hz refresh rate.
The chipset is competitive and provides good performance in benchmarks, with no issues when multitasking or gaming.
The cameras are solid, with a 50 megapixel main cam and 13 megapixel ultrawide camera that take great photos and videos.
The phone has improved display, battery, and fast charging compared to the Edge 30 Fusion.
It comes with 256 gigs of Base storage in most markets and IP68 waterproofing and wireless charging.
The selfie camera is excellent with great detail, lifelike skin tones, and wide dynamic range.

Weaknesses

The phone may not be in the highest tier of mid-ranges you can buy but it's right up there so is The Edge 40 worth the price tag?
The textured Eco leather backing on some models tends to collect Grime and dirt and is hard to clean.
The depth of field is shallow and getting some subjects fully in Focus may be tricky with the main cam.
The ultra wide camera appears to be a downgrade from the 50 megapixel version on the Edge 30 Fusion.
The phone has a high standby power draw that drags down the overall battery life rating.
The thermal management can cause gradual throttling during prolonged stress tests.

Samsung Galaxy M35

Strengths

The Samsung Galaxy M35 offers surprisingly decent performance with its Exynos 1380 chip, handling basic tasks and demanding games like BGMI and CODM smoothly.
The phone's battery life is excellent, lasting up to a day and a half on regular use, and dropping by only 30% after three hours of heavy gaming.
The camera setup is decent, with good detail and natural colors in photos taken with the main 50MP lens, although portrait mode can struggle to detect edges.
The phone has a great display, featuring a punchy 6.6-inch Super AMOLED panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, super bright up to 1000 nits, and Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection.
The sound quality is surprisingly good thanks to the Stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos support.
The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that's quick and responsive.
Samsung's commitment to updates is solid, with 4 years of Android update and 5 years of security patches.
The phone has NFC for easy payments.

Weaknesses

The Exynos chip may not be as powerful as a Snapdragon processor, which could affect gaming performance in graphically intensive titles like Genshin Impact.
The charging speed is relatively slow, taking around 2 hours to fully charge from 0 to 100% through 25W wireless charging.
There's no charger included in the box.
The phone can get warm after prolonged gaming sessions.
The camera system may not be as strong as some other phones at this price point.

Motorola Edge 40

The Motorola Edge 40 is a mid-range smartphone that builds upon last year's model with improved features. While it may not be at the top tier of its class, it's still a solid contender. The phone boasts a sleek and curved design, with a textured Eco leather backing or glass option available. A 6.55-inch OLED display offers smooth performance, while a high-capacity battery ensures all-day power. The camera system features a 50-megapixel main sensor and supports video recording in up to 4K at 30fps. But is it worth the price tag? Let's dive into our review to find out.

Samsung Galaxy M35

The Samsung Galaxy M35 is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers impressive performance, camera capabilities, and battery life, making it a solid choice for those looking for a Samsung phone under 20,000 rupees. Under the hood, the phone is powered by the Exynos 1380 chip, which was surprisingly effective in handling demanding tasks like gaming. The M35 handled games like BGMI, Call of Duty Mobile, and Genshin Impact with minimal lag, even after extended periods of playtime. However, it did struggle to maintain high frame rates in Genshin Impact, especially on high settings. The camera setup features three cameras, including a 50MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. While the photos taken by the main camera were decent with good detail and natural colors, they looked somewhat soft. The ultra-wide camera performed well in matching the color of the main camera, but portrait mode was not its strong point. The phone's battery life is where it truly shines, lasting a day and a half on regular use, even with heavy usage like gaming. However, charging was slower than expected, taking around 2 hours to fully charge from 0 to 100%. The Galaxy M35 also features a punch-hole display, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and surprisingly good sound quality courtesy of the dual speakers. The display itself is bright and smooth, reaching up to 1,000 nits, and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M35 offers great value for its price, with impressive performance, camera capabilities, and battery life making it a solid choice for those in the market for a budget-friendly smartphone.
