Samsung Galaxy A35 Black Friday Deals: Black Friday Deals 2026 on the Awesome Lilac phone
Samsung Galaxy A35 Black Friday deals are about a specific midrange phone, not every Galaxy that says A-series. The photo above is the Awesome Lilac US version with 128GB, the 2024 A35 5G. The back is lilac, the camera stack is a vertical trio, and the front is a flat Super AMOLED with a small hole for the selfie camera. Black Friday Deals 2026 will also list Awesome Navy, Awesome Iceblue, and international dual-SIM variants. Those are real A35 phones. They are not this lilac US listing.
The A35 5G is Samsung’s larger A-series phone from that generation. The US model’s screen is a 6.6 inch Super AMOLED with a 120 Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, and Vision Booster so the panel can adapt outdoors. That refresh rate is the everyday difference versus a 60 Hz phone: scrolling and animation look steadier. It is not a laptop-class panel, and peak brightness still has a limit in direct desert sun. If you are comparing it with an S-series Ultra, you are comparing a midrange phone with a flagship. The A35 is the one you buy when you want the AMOLED and the 120 Hz rate without the Ultra’s camera hardware.
The rear camera system on the US A35 5G is a 50 megapixel wide camera with optical image stabilization, an 8 megapixel ultrawide, and a 5 megapixel macro. The front camera is 13 megapixels. Samsung’s Nightography processing is part of the pitch for darker shots. Optical stabilization is on the main camera, not on every lens. A Black Friday title that only says “50MP triple camera” is leaving out which lens is the useful one. The main wide camera is the one to judge. The macro is a close-up extra, not a second flagship lens.
Storage on this navy listing is 128GB, with a microSD slot that Samsung rates for expansion up to 1TB. The card is sold separately. A portion of the 128GB is already used by the system, so the free space on day one is lower than the headline. Some international A35 listings pair 8GB of RAM with 256GB of storage. This US configuration is 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and it is the one in the lilac photo. Confirm the RAM line on the live page if you are choosing between the US phone and a global dual-SIM import, because the import can also differ in LTE and 5G bands.
The phone is unlocked in the US version title, which means you choose the carrier rather than buying a handset locked to one bill. Band support still has to match that carrier. A Latin or global A35 can say “GSM unlocked” and still miss bands a US carrier uses for 5G. During Black Friday, imported listings often undercut the US model. Read “US Version” in the title of this lilac phone, and do not assume a cheaper SM-A356E dual-SIM page is the same warranty or the same radio. Samsung’s US warranty story applies to the US phone, not automatically to a gray-market import.
Durability on the A35 5G is an IP67 rating: dust resistance and water resistance under the lab condition Samsung states, which is not a license to swim with the phone. The front and back use Gorilla Glass Victus+. That glass is tougher than older Gorilla generations and still not immune to a point impact on concrete. A case remains the practical Black Friday add-on. The listing’s box for a phone of this class is the handset and a cable. Do not expect a wall charger in the carton unless the current bullets say so.
Software on the 2024 US phone started on Android 14 with One UI. Samsung’s support window is a reason people pick an A-series phone over a no-name 5G handset at the same Black Friday price. Confirm the update promise on Samsung’s current page for the A35 if you need a specific number of years, because support commitments are easy to misquote from an old ad. Circle to Search and the other Google features need a network connection and do not change the hardware you are buying.
Battery life on a 5G phone depends on signal and refresh rate. The A35 5G uses a large battery typical of this class, and 120 Hz costs more power than 60 Hz if you leave the higher rate on all day. Samsung’s adaptive refresh can drop when the screen is static. A Black Friday buyer who commutes on a weak 5G fringe will see worse endurance than a buyer on strong Wi-Fi. Neither result is a defect in Awesome Lilac. It is the radio doing more work.
The vertical camera stack and the pale lilac glass are easy to see in the photo, which helps when a seller recycles a navy image on a lilac title. Match both. Awesome Lilac is the light purple finish, not the deep navy and not the ice blue. If the cart thumbnail and the title disagree, do not check out hoping the title wins. Color mix-ups are common when several A35 finishes share one review pool. The A35 also uses an under-display fingerprint reader. A case that is very thick over the lower glass can make that reader fussy. Try the reader with the case you actually use before you decide the sensor is faulty.
Who the lilac A35 fits: someone who wants a bright 120 Hz screen, a stabilized main camera, room for a memory card, and an unlocked US phone. Who should look elsewhere: someone who needs S-series zoom hardware, wireless charging as a requirement, or a small phone. The A35 is a large 6.6 inch handset. Black Friday Deals 2026 will not shrink it. Use the button above to read the live price for Awesome Lilac, 128GB, US version. This page does not invent a discount or a trade-in credit.
