The camera's 4K videos are over contrasty and have a bit softer detail than other cameras
Selfies taken with the front-facing cam can be soft in low light conditions

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 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 50 Pro

The Motorola Edge 50 Pro is a high-end smartphone that packs some impressive features despite being positioned as the mid-range model this year. With its curvy design, Pantone-validated color science display, and stereo speakers, it's hard to ignore its appeal. But can it deliver on performance and camera capabilities? Our review delves into what makes this phone tick, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses, to determine if it's worth considering in a crowded smartphone market.

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.
