The Galaxy A35 is predicted to be the first of its series that will be difficult to tell apart from pricier Samsung models.

Until recently, Samsung utilized so-called teardrop screens in the Galaxy A3x series smartphones, likely emphasizing their 'budget' aspect. I say 'budget' with quotation marks because the Galaxy A34 had a starting price of 1899 PLN, which isn't exactly broadly accessible. Nevertheless, the Koreans ensured it stood out visually when compared to devices like the Galaxy A54.

A few years ago, screen holes were mainly reserved for higher-priced smartphones. Using teardrop designs seems more like a mandatory visual difference to motivate customers to pay a premium. It appears that Samsung decided to put an end to this.

The MySmartPrice service published renderings expected to represent the design of the upcoming Galaxy A35 model. According to these, the smartphone, much like its costlier counterparts, will feature a display hole rather than a teardrop.

Combine this with the characteristic positioning of three lenses on the back panel, and it appears the new smartphone will fully align with Samsung's latest design language.
