Design

With a 5000mAh battery, this phone exhibits good endurance. On a busy day filled with streaming videos and data usage, expect it to last till the end with battery life to spare.

Performance

On the surface, the Y35’s hardware might not seem extraordinary. The phone comes with a powerful s Snapdragon 680 chipset. In addition, there is 8GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. When it comes to gaming, the large RAM makes a noticeable difference. High-demand games like Call of Duty: Mobile and Genshin Impact run surprisingly well, with few slowdowns, even at high settings.

Cameras

The Y35 has a 50MP primary camera, a 2MP bokeh shooter, a 2MP macro camera, and a 16MP selfie camera. While these seem similar to other Y series phones, the image quality of the Y35 is a noticeable step up.

Photos come out vibrant and social-media ready, provided you manually adjust the exposure slider. While it might struggle slightly with capturing intricate details in the background, it still captures insta-worthy snaps.
