Review of Samsung Galaxy A35, price, and specifications

Introduction

Samsung unveiled a new member of the Galaxy A series at the Galaxy S24 premiere. The Galaxy A35 and Galaxy A55 build on the positive reception of their predecessors, bringing updated design, performance, and cameras. Today, we will review the Galaxy A35 in detail.

The new Samsung Galaxy A35 is very similar to the Galaxy A34. As you can imagine, there are only a handful of upgrades, and they weren’t meant to tempt Galaxy A34 owners to switch, but more to attract new or existing Samsung users with much older phones.

So, the Galaxy A35 starts with a new and updated dual-glass design and a more durable Gorilla Glass Victus+ front panel. This phone has IP67 standards for resistance to dust and water and is available in different and attractive colors. The display remains the same as the Galaxy A34 – a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED with 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The Galaxy A35 brings the same chip we saw in the Galaxy A54 – the Exynos 1380 5G, so in a way it could be a good replacement for the A54.

The cameras haven’t changed much from the Galaxy A34 – a high-resolution main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, a 5-megapixel macro, and a 13-megapixel selfie shooter. There is, however, a new main camera, a 50MP OIS shooter up from the A34’s 48MP.

Another new feature in the Galaxy A35 is support for Wi-Fi 6 networks.

Galaxy A34 is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging. It runs on Android 14 with One UI 6.1.

Samsung Galaxy A35 specifications at a glance:

The Galaxy A34 has a full spec sheet and no glaring omissions. However, it’s pretty close to the Galaxy A54’s feature set, so it remains to be seen if there are enough specs to set this new model apart.

Unboxing Samsung Galaxy A35

The slim and lightweight cardboard box of the Galaxy A35 contains the handset and a 3A USB Type-C to Type-C passive docking cable.

The Galaxy A35 supports 25W wired fast charging, but if you don’t have a compatible USB-PD power adapter, you’ll need to purchase one, as there’s no charger in the box.

Design, build quality, handling

The Galaxy A35 is similar to many of the recent Galaxy A phones. The look of the phone has been perfected over the past few years and has stood the test of time. Also, the A series phones are instantly recognizable.

The Galaxy A35 is a dual-glass smartphone with a plastic frame, meaning the glass back panel has been upgraded since the Galaxy A34. The front panel has also been improved, as it’s now a Victus+ Gorilla Glass sheet that’s gone over the GG5. Both panels are smooth and glossy. Color options include ice blue, lilac, lime, and navy.

On the front, there is a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080p+ and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. It’s the same panel as the Galaxy A34, with a small rounded notch and fairly thick but uniform bezels.

The fingerprint sensor under the display is optical and works well and fast.

The frame is made of thick plastic and is also smooth but with a matte finish. Here’s a small twist – the power and volume controls now sit on a slightly raised surface, which we thought was unnecessary at first, but we have to admit it makes for a better experience.

There are no ugly or messy camera bumps on the Galaxy A35. Samsung calls its camera design “flowing” because the three protruding rings seem to literally flow on calm waters.

And when it comes to water resistance, the Galaxy A35 is IP67 rated for protection against dust and water, just like most Galaxy A phones today.

The Galaxy A35 offers stereo speakers, and it’s a hybrid setup – the phone acts as one speaker, while there’s another full speaker on the bottom of the phone.

Here are the sides of the Galaxy A35. You can see two symmetrical microphones at the bottom and a third microphone at the top of the phone.

Samsung Galaxy A35

The Galaxy A35 is a solid and well-built smartphone. Holding this phone gives you a special sense of security. It’s gained 10 grams since the Galaxy A34, probably due to new updates, but the extra weight isn’t noticeable. Overall, we are satisfied with our experience. Our only recommendation is to have a lighter color. Otherwise, fingerprints and smudges on those glass panels will be much more obvious.

Display

The Samsung Galaxy A35 uses the same display as the Galaxy A34 – a 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display with 2340 x 1080 pixels (390ppi), 120Hz refresh rate, 8-bit color depth, and a maximum brightness of up to 1000 nits. There is no official HDR certification.

We’ve completed our display measurements on the Galaxy A35 and they match the A34 and A54. Our manual peak brightness was 441 nits, while our automatic peak brightness was 1024 nits.

The minimum brightness in the white point was only 1.5 nits.

The Galaxy A35 supports both DCI-P3 and sRGB color spaces.

Refresh Rate

The AMOLED screen of the Galaxy A35 supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz. There are two Motion Smoothness modes – Adaptive and Standard.

Adaptive mode reduces the refresh rate to 60Hz when the screen is fixed/idle/AOD and for HRR incompatible apps like camera and maps.

HDR and streaming

The Galaxy A35 isn’t listed as an HDR10-capable device, so some popular streaming apps like Netflix only offer standard Full HD content. On the other hand, YouTube offers HDR10 playback on the A35, removing screen limitations when playing HDR10 content. It can decode HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG content, but no Dolby Vision. It is also certified for the highest possible Widevine L1 DRM.

Battery Life

The Galaxy A35 is powered by a 5000 mAh battery. We expected the battery life to be similar to the Galaxy A54, but we were surprised to find it scored better!

The Galaxy A35 scored 12:26 hours of active use. It performed great in the call test, video test, and even gaming, but the web time is somewhat average.

Charging Speed

The entire Samsung Galaxy A series supports fast wired charging up to 25W, and so does the Galaxy A35. As usual, this phone is shipped without a charger. You can use any 25W PD+PPS charger, as it reaches the maximum charging power supported by the phone.

We did our charging test with Samsung’s own 25W PD/PPS charger.

It charged 26% of the Galaxy A35’s battery in 15 minutes, while it reached 52% in another 15 minutes. Full charging requires 86 minutes.

This charging speed is in line with other 25W capable Galaxy A phones we’ve tested so far.

A battery protection option is available – if enabled, it adjusts the charging behavior in different ways, so it can increase the overall life of the cell.

Speakers

The Galaxy A35 has a hybrid stereo speaker system where the phone acts as a second speaker. Naturally, the headphones are quieter and lack impact, but they are forward and the overall sound balance is very good.

The Galaxy A35’s speakers scored well in our loudness test. The sound quality is excellent – we can hear bass, rich vocals, and high-frequency presentation.

The Galaxy A35 has Dolby Atmos support as well as built-in UHQ upscaling and a basic equalizer.

Connectivity

Galaxy A35 is a 5G device with SA/NSA Sub-6 support in both nano SIM slots simultaneously. This phone also supports eSIM. GPS (without L5), GALILEO, GLONASS, BDS, and QZSS are supported for positioning.

Local connectivity is covered by dual-band Wi-Fi 6 ax as well as Bluetooth 5.3 with LE support. NFC is available in some markets. Be sure to check with your local dealer. However, there is no FM radio or 3.5mm audio jack.

The USB Type-C port is supported by a standard USB 2.0 data connection with a maximum transfer speed of 480 Mbps. There is USB Host/OTG support but nothing fancy like video output in Alt mode.

In terms of sensors, you get a TDK InvenSense ICM42632M accelerometer and gyroscope combo, an Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK09918C magnetometer and compass combo, a Sitronix STK31610 light sensor. There is no barometer on the plane.

As for the proximity sensor, the phone is reported to have a Samsung-branded ProToS or Ear Hover Proximity Sensor. This is one of Samsung’s virtual proximity sensors and it works like this. This means there are no hardware proximity sensors and no data is reported to non-native applications. However, the A35 does a decent job of automatically turning off the screen during a call via a software approximation using the device’s other sensors. Regardless, it’s a little disappointing to see a virtual proximity sensor on the A35.

Android 14 with One UI 6.1 user interface

The Galaxy A35 runs Samsung’s One UI 6.1 on top of the latest Android 14. Technically, this is the latest version of One UI that the Korean giant has come up with and it’s the same version that runs on the flagship S24 series, with some omissions.

You might be surprised, but Samsung’s new Galaxy AI is also missing from the A35. It still belongs to the S24 family and will soon be available for some older flagship devices as well. Another thing that Samsung has yet to extend to its lower-end models is the seven-year software support.

It’s not all bad as the Galaxy A35 is eligible for four years of core firmware updates and five years of security patches. It’s definitely better than other lesser Galaxy phones like the A15 5G.

Some of the notable innovations of One UI 6 include the fast-designed panel, better notification visualization, improved and simplified camera app, and more powerful editing and gallery tools, etc.

The Galaxy A35 has a full version of One UI 6.1. You get the same general UX and even more features of the Galaxy S series. The A35 even has an always-on display.

The good news for all Galaxy users is that the list of software features reserved for flagships has dwindled in recent years and now includes niche items like Samsung DeX.

Everything else is a normal UI – lock screen, home screen, widgets and icons, theme management, multitasking (available in both popup and split-screen modes), and default apps.

You can read more details about OneUI 6 in our Galaxy A25 review.

Unfortunately, there’s no FM radio support on the Galaxy A35, so no FM apps here.

Benchmarks and performance

The Galaxy A35 is based on Samsung’s Exynos 1380 chip – a familiar piece of silicon that is now effectively “checking in” for this generation as it previously powered last year’s Galaxy A54 and its “derivatives” – the Galaxy F54 and M54. . . It is not a bad chip in itself. It offers 5G connectivity and modern communication features such as Bluetooth 5.3 and dual-band Wi-Fi 6.

However, don’t expect too much from raw performance. The CPU setup includes four Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.4GHz and another four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 2.0GHz. The GPU is a 950 MHz Mali-G68 MP5 unit.

The Galaxy A35 is available in three storage and memory options – 6GB/128GB, 8GB/128GB, and 8GB/256GB.

Our review unit is the base 6/128GB version, and the storage benchmark speeds show that it uses UFS 2.1 chips.

Let’s take a look at some benchmark numbers and kick things off with the CPU and GeekBench tests. The Exynos 1380 is a very “average” chip when it comes to single-threaded performance.

It’s interesting to note that Samsung squeezed a bit more performance out of the chip compared to the same silicon that powers the Galaxy A54, but the difference won’t be noticeable in practice.

Overall, the Exynos 1380 has about the same single-core power as the Dimensity 1080 and 7030, and the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2.

The Exynos 1380 seems to perform even better in multi-core scenarios. It’s still on par with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, but significantly better than the Dimensity 1080 and 7030. Again, the differences aren’t enough to translate into real-world performance benefits.

When it comes to the Dimensity 7200 and its variants, it makes up for a lot by running a Mali-G610 MC4 GPU, which is much more powerful than the Mali-G68 MP5 inside the Exynos 1380. AnTuTu reflects this well with its combination set. From the tests, however, the Exynos 1380 is quite competitive with its price peers.

That being said, you can certainly get much “bigger” in terms of raw performance in the price range with a Dimensity 720-equipped phone as we mentioned earlier or even here, the Poco X6. Pro is in a league of its own with its Dimensity 8300 Ultra.

GPU-wise, the Mali-G68 MP5 setup is quite decent, but nothing to write home about. It offers mid-range performance in its price class. Again, it can be compared to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and the Dimensity 1080 and 7030.

As we mentioned earlier, the Dimensity 7200 offers much better graphics performance at a roughly similar price point, aside from the likes of the Google Tensor G2 and the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2.

In more practical terms, the Galaxy A35 runs smoothly and without lag. We hope this continues to be the case with long-term use, as we’ve seen some of Samsung’s mid-range and low-end phones slow down with long-term use.

However, overall, at the time of the review, the Galaxy A35 offered quite a decent performance for its class.

Thermal-throttling

The Galaxy A35 handles heat quite masterfully. The Exynos 1380 doesn’t run very hot, to begin with, but whatever heat is generated doesn’t seem to have much of an effect on sustained performance, even in an hour’s worth of testing.

Thermal-throttling

The surface of the phone is also quite comfortable to the touch and remains lukewarm at worst.

New triple camera setup

The Galaxy A35’s camera setup seems to have changed compared to the Galaxy A34, as the main camera is now 50MP instead of 48MP.

Wide (primary) : 50 MP Samsung ISOCELL (S5K)GN8, f/1.8, 1/1.96 inch, PDAF, OIS; 2160p@30fps
Ultra-wide angle : 8 MP GalaxyCore GC08A3, f/2.2, 123 degrees, 1/4 inch, 1.12 µm, fixed focus; 1080p@30fps
Macro: 5 megapixels, f/2.4, fixed focus.
Front camera: 13 MP Samsung ISOCELL (S5K) 3L6, f/2.2, 1/3.06 inch, 1.12 µm, fixed focus; 2160p@30fps

This main camera had us a bit confused as the phone reports it’s based on Samsung’s ISOCESS S5KGN8 sensor, and we couldn’t find any mention of this camera sensor model online. It seems to have the same sensor size as the A34.

It was not so easy to discover information about the other two cameras of the Galaxy A35. In fact, we still don’t know exactly what sensor the macro uses.

At least the selfie camera is a well-documented ISOCELL (S5K) 3L6 unit that can actually shoot 4K@30fps video – a rare feat in this price range.

The camera app is what you find on every Samsung phone these days. You only get Pro mode on the main camera, while Night mode can be used on the main, ultra-wide, and selfie cameras.

Image quality in daylight

Main camera

The main camera of the Galaxy A35 takes band photos with a resolution of 12.5 megapixels by default. These generally offer very good quality. There is plenty of detail in the frame and very little artificial sharpness. In fact, Samsung’s processing seems so “quiet” that there are even tiny hints of noise on things like flat surfaces. It creates a very natural look.

The colors aren’t particularly oversaturated either. They aren’t exactly what we would call “true to life” and have a little extra “pop” but nothing remarkable. Full mature processing is well-rounded with what we call excellent dynamic range and contrast.

The main camera also handles people and faces quite competently. Skin texture and skin tone both look very natural. Our only real complaint when shooting people is that the autofocus can sometimes miss the subject slightly, resulting in softer faces. To avoid that, be sure to take some pictures.

Photos taken in portrait mode are decent, but nothing to call home. Detection and separation of the subject are often high and not accurate.

You can force the main camera to shoot at full 50MP resolution. While the results aren’t much different compared to regular 12.5MP photos, we like the extra detail in the photo. Also, the dynamic range is a bit better in these shots, especially in areas like the sky.

Samsung Galaxy A35: 50MP main camera samples

The Galaxy A35 lacks a dedicated telephoto camera, but the main camera still has plenty of resolution to take 2x zoom shots. These shots are slightly softer than their 1x counterparts, but otherwise, they have pretty much the same quality features.

Ultra-wide camera

The 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera isn’t spectacular by any means, but it delivers good performance for its class. We are pleased with the amount of detail in the frame. Contrast and dynamic range are both good. The colors are well coordinated with the original camera.

Samsung Galaxy A35: 8MP ultra-wide camera samples

We wish there was autofocus on the ultra-wide camera so it could work as a macro shooter.

Macro camera

On the plus side, the Galaxy A35 has a dedicated 5MP macro camera. It certainly has its limitations, such as resolution and the fact that focus is fixed. However, the focal plane is very deep and forgiving.

We definitely like the overall quality of these photos. Again, they’re nothing to call home, but they’re certainly serviceable.

Samsung Galaxy A35: 5MP macro camera samples

Selfie camera

The 13-megapixel selfie camera creates solid photos indoors and outdoors. Depending on which crop level you choose, you’ll either end up with photos below 9 megapixels or photos below 13 megapixels. Here you get fixed focus, but the focal plane accommodates shooting at different distances.

Faces appear sharp and detailed. The skin color is beautiful and natural. Maybe with just a little extra saturation, but nothing too much.

Camera quality in low light

The main camera takes good but not impressive photos in low light. The detail is there and you get a very wide dynamic range.

Both shadows and highlights are well-developed. Light sources, in particular, are not heavily reconstructed, creating a more natural appearance.

Colors also look nice in night shots, though a bit saturated. There is practically no noise.

Samsung Galaxy A35: 12.5MP main camera examples in low light

The A35 has an automatic night mode that does a great job and is constantly activated on its own. There’s also a dedicated night mode that averages slightly slower shooting times and takes a bit more image processing. Photos look a little sharper and more contrasty. We cannot necessarily say that we prefer one mode over another.

Samsung Galaxy A35: night mode examples of the 12.5-megapixel main camera

At 2x zoom, photos from the main camera are quite comparable in quality to their 1x counterparts.

Samsung Galaxy A35: 12.5MP main camera samples with 2x zoom in low light

Ultrawide camera photos are very soft and noisy. Dynamic range is decent and light sources are fairly well controlled for this type of camera.

Samsung Galaxy A35: 8MP ultra-wide camera examples in low light

Activating night mode in ultra-wide mode once again boosts contrast a bit but doesn’t really do much else.

Samsung Galaxy A35: night mode examples of the 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera

Low-light selfies are good but very soft. There is not much problem with creating skin texture. Night mode doesn’t help at all either.

Video quality

The Galaxy A35 can shoot videos at a maximum speed of 4K@30fps with its main camera. But it is interesting that only in 1x zoom. 2x video zoom from the main camera is limited to 1080p. The ultra-wide camera is also expected to be limited to Full HD video recording. As a rather pleasant surprise, the selfie camera can also do 4K@30fps, which isn’t very common, especially on more affordable devices.

By default, A35 videos are saved in a standard AVC/h.264 video stream with 48kHz stereo audio in an MP4 container. You can choose to do HEVC/h.265 instead and save some space. In 4K, the bit rate is about 48 Mbps. At 1080p, you get about 17 Mbps.

4K video from the main camera is very good, especially for the class. Details could be better, but there is no shortage either. Colors are a bit oversaturated for our taste, but still look good. Dynamic range and contrast are both excellent. As we mentioned, videos with 2x zoom are only recorded at 1080p and look very soft in comparison.

Video sample playlist

Full HD videos from Ultrawide are very sharp and processed. It’s very aggressive and we don’t like the way it looks.

On the plus side, selfie videos look great, with plenty of detail and well-defined facial features. As with other cameras, the colors here are a bit oversaturated. There is also some noise, but nothing too extreme.

You may notice that the selfie camera video is very static. The Galaxy A35 has a video stabilization switch in the camera settings that is enabled by default and works on all cameras at full resolution. It also does a very good job. Beyond that, there’s Super steady mode, which shoots from the ultra-wide camera and is limited to 1080p resolution. It offers a bit more stabilization but nothing spectacular.

The main camera takes decent videos in low light, but nothing spectacular. There is a good amount of detail and very little noise. Colors also look good, although a bit oversaturated. Dynamic range is good, with some detail in the shadows, but light sources are blown out. The ultra-wide camera is very soft, with weak light sources and insufficient detail.

Check Competitors

At the time of writing, the Galaxy A35 6GB/128GB will set you back around €380/GBP 340, while the top-of-the-line 8GB/256GB retails for around €450/390GB. arrive

The mid-range 8GB/128GB model seems to be hard to come by in Europe but is readily available in the US for around $390 and in India for around Rs 30,500. If possible, we will look for a higher amount of RAM.

Finding good replacements for the Galaxy A35 isn’t that hard. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus sells almost as much as the Samsung, but the base version comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of faster UFS 3.1 storage. The Dimensity 7200 Ultra is an excellent chip that surpasses the Exynos 1380 in many aspects. Going for the Redmi, you’ll also get comparable build quality and things like Victus Gorilla Glass on the front and IP68 protection. Other features include 120W charging with a 5000 mAh battery.

It’s also worth noting that you can save some money and still get a great experience with the ever-popular Redmi Note 13 Pro. And if you want to prioritize performance and are willing to sacrifice some creature comforts along the way, there’s the Poco X6 Pro to consider.

The new Nothing Phone (2a) is certainly an interesting contender. While it’s not your best value in this segment, there’s no denying that it stands out well. A nothing approach to both hardware and software will not appeal to the right crowd. We really enjoyed using Nothing OS on the Nothing Phone (2a) and also found the phone to have exceptional battery life in our testing. However, you compromise some features.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ • Nothing Phone (2a) • Samsung Galaxy A25 • Realme 12 Pro+

Speaking of compromises, it’s worth noting that you can get the same Samsung experience and not pay as much by going for the Galaxy A25. Don’t expect the same materials and durability. You significantly lose the intrusion protection rating and Gorilla Glass of the Victus+. Also, you should expect slower performance in general. But the core of the experience remains unchanged.

Finally, if you’re in the right market, the Realme 12 Pro+ is a very strong competitor to the Galaxy A35. Some of its highlights include IP65 ingress protection and 67W faster charging with its 5000mAh battery. Most notably, Realme includes a 3x periscope telephoto as part of its camera setup, in case that might intrigue you.

Summary

Galaxy A35 is a very good and complete device. While it doesn’t do much with the tried-and-true Galaxy A formula, it further refines the A3X series. While the Galaxy A25 will likely still come with some omissions, particularly in build and intrusion protection, the A35 is much closer to the A55 in its general release.

With the A35, you get Victus+ Gorilla Glass on both sides of the glass on the front and IP67 ingress protection. The 6.6-inch Super AMOLED 120Hz display is still unchanged from previous generations. You also get a solid hybrid stereo speaker and a large 5000 mAh battery with high endurance.

In terms of performance, the Exynos 1380 is a small step up from the Dimensity 1080 in the Galaxy A34. It’s quite adequate for the class and enough to provide a smooth One UI experience. This experience will be of great interest to many people. Very few features still belong to Samsung’s flagship models and are completely absent from the Galaxy A35. Additionally, the A35 comes with four years of core software updates and five years of security updates.

However, there is no point in claiming that the Galaxy A35 is the best in its class. By buying this phone, you can get much better hardware for your money. Still, the Galaxy A35 remains an attractive package overall. We are sure that it will not disappoint any potential buyers.

Why should we buy the Samsung Galaxy A35 phone?

Rugged body with glass on both sides and IP67 ingress protection.
120 Hz Super AMOLED screen with good quality.
Good quality stereo speakers
Good battery life.
The latest Android and One UI.

Font recognition from photos online

Online font detection sites are the best way to find a font from a photo, and almost all of them work the same way. To use these sites, it is enough to enter one of these sites using your phone and upload your photo so that it recognizes the font used in the image in a short time. In the following, we introduce some of the best online sites for recognizing fonts from photos:

FontSquirrel

FontSquirrel is one of the best online font recognition sites that, in addition to font recognition, allows you to download different fonts and chat with other people in the FontTalk section.

Working with the FontSquirrel website is easier than you might think. You just need to enter the site, upload the desired photo, and give the site a few seconds to display the photo font and other similar fonts for you. To upload a photo on this site, you can drag and drop the photo or tap on the Upload option and select the photo from your image gallery.

After uploading the photo on the FontSquirrel site, you will be asked to specify the part of the text that you want the font program to recognize, and finally, click on the Matcherate it button to provide you with the fonts that match the image.

The great thing about FontSquirrel is that it also allows you to purchase the provided fonts, and if you’re lucky, you might be able to download some of them for free.

Fontspring

Fontspring works just like other free online font recognition tools; But with 900,000 different fonts, it can increase your chances of finding the font you’re looking for.

By entering the macerator section of this site, you will see a page similar to the image above. Tap on Upload Image and upload the image you have in mind. In the next step, if necessary, you can crop the photo or change its direction. Finally, select the text on the photo and click on Matcherate. After a few seconds, all matching fonts will appear.

MyFonts

If the previous sites failed to help you find the font you want, you can visit MyFonts. This site offers many professional fonts for different projects and currently provides users with access to more than 230,000 fonts.

The great thing about the MyFonts website is that once you upload a photo, it automatically identifies the text on the photo; So you will spend less time compared to other tools. Tap on the highlighted text and then tap the Identify option. Finally, if you find the desired font, you can buy or download it directly from the site.

The best artificial intelligence tool to find fonts from photos

These days, when the fever of artificial intelligence is hot everywhere in the world, the use of artificial intelligence to recognize fonts from photos is one of the most important concerns of many people in the world. If you are one of these people, we recommend that you visit the WhatFontIs website. This website has two web versions, free and pro, and using artificial intelligence and 840,000 commercial and free fonts, it displays more than 60 types of similar fonts for every image you upload.

Try to have the photo you upload as high quality as possible; Because sometimes the low quality of the photo makes WhatFontIs unable to identify the corresponding font. Also, after uploading the image, the website tries to separate the letters automatically; However, if you want to identify broken fonts, you need to separate each letter with an advanced image editor.

Recognizing the text font from the photo on the computer and laptop

In addition to the online tools that you are not limited to using on your phone and computer, there is a lesser-known feature in Photoshop that can recognize fonts from photos for you.

Finally, click on Type in the toolbar and press Match Font.

Photoshop will show you similar and alternative fonts that match the text in the selected image. If after trying different methods, you have not managed to find the font you want, this tool can help you to some extent.

Noun: alcoholism as it precipitates a person’s death (especially of natural causes).

If you are tired of the high RAM consumption of Chrome, you can use some tricks to give your system RAM a breath of fresh air.

How to reduce the use of Chrome

Chrome browser has always been considered one of the most popular browsers and the main RAM killer of computers since its release until now. It doesn’t matter if the RAM capacity of your system is 4 GB or even 32 GB and more; In any case, by opening Chrome, you will dedicate most of the RAM capacity to Chrome.

Although Google has always been trying to optimize the use of Chrome and periodically improves the stability and consumption of hardware resources of this browser with frequent updates, RAM consumption is still one of the biggest problems for users when using Chrome.

This issue becomes more pronounced when you connect your Google account to Chrome to sync information, extensions, and history, and at this time you will see that at least half of the RAM capacity is easily allocated to this browser.

In general, it is inevitable that a large part of the system resources will be used to use this browser, but with solutions, this effect can be greatly reduced, especially in the case of RAM consumption.

Enable Memory Saver in Chrome

Nearly two years ago, Google introduced the Memory Saver feature to reduce Chrome’s RAM consumption. This feature intelligently disables tabs, add-ons, and other processes that remain unused for a while and do not refer to them, deletes their data from the RAM, and has a significant impact on the RAM consumption of this browser. To enable this feature:

Enter Settings from the three-dot option at the top of the screen.

Search for a Memory saver in the search bar above.
By activating the RAM saver, three levels, Moderate, Balanced, and Maximum, will be displayed, and by choosing each, you can determine the period of time for the tabs to be disabled. By selecting Balanced, the tabs will be disabled after a normal amount of time of inactivity. If you select Moderate, the tabs will be disabled for a longer time, and with Maximum, they will be disabled for a very short time after leaving.

If your RAM fills up quickly and slows down the system, use the Maximum option; However, closing unused tabs is a more logical solution.

If your RAM is not affected much by Chrome, we recommend leaving the setting on Balanced so that when the tab returns and activates, less time is spent on reloading the page and refreshing the cache, thus reducing the processing load.

Prevent tabs from being disabled for a specific site in Chrome

If you have opened an important site that has certain information or is involved in a process that is lost if the tab is disabled, you can prevent it from being disabled by adding the address of this site to the list of exceptions and keeping it open all the time.

In Chrome settings, from the top search bar, search for inactive.

Click on the Add option in the Always keep these sites active section.
You can choose your desired site from the open tabs or enter the desired website address manually from the Add Sites section.

Close unused and high-use tabs

Perhaps Chrome is always accused of high RAM consumption, but the user himself can also be guilty in this case; Therefore, it is better to manage your open tabs and if you are one of those people like me who thinks you should keep tabs open to refer to them every hour or day, you will never see the empty half of the device’s RAM.

For more convenient RAM management, Chrome allows you to see the RAM consumption of each tab by hovering the mouse over the tabs, and thus you can make an easier decision by closing the tabs that are consuming the most RAM.

If you don’t see the RAM usage information by hovering over each tab:

Open Settings and enter Appearance from the left bar.
Activate the Show tab memory usage option from the Tab hover preview card section.

View the RAM consumption of the Chrome tab

Remove or disable unused plugins

Chrome is not just a browser and provides a platform for running various applications and extensions so that as a multi-purpose software, various tools and facilities can be used. This browser has a lot of codes and many complications, part of this complexity is due to the existence of many features and facilities, and most importantly, the infrastructure of the ChromeOS operating system is based on Chromium.

Chrome extensions are so wide and diverse, and among them, there are useful tools that there is rarely a situation where the user of this browser does not install an extension; But sometimes the number of installed add-ons becomes so large that the user loses track of the number and does not notice the increase of add-ons that may have been used only once.

Therefore, if you are one of the people who have many extensions in Chrome, it is better to fix this section and help increase the speed of Chrome and thus reduce its RAM consumption. For this:

First, through Chrome’s Task Manager, check which extensions occupy the most RAM; To do this, press Shift+Esc.
Click the Memory footprint tab a few times until an upside-down triangle icon appears next to it.

Tabs, processes, and add-ons will be shown in order of RAM consumption, and in this way, you can identify the most consuming add-ons.
Click on the three dots option from the top menu and click on manage extensions from the Extensions section.

On the add-ons page, turn off frequently used or underused items or remove them completely from Chrome by clicking Remove.

Disable Preload Pages

Chrome has a feature that preloads some sites and pages before the user requests to speed up the page-loading process when the user wants to enter a site.

This feature will be useful for people who have weak internet and it even reduces the processing load of the processor to a great extent, but it will lead to an increase in RAM consumption another way to prevent this is to turn off the mentioned feature:

In the Chrome settings, search for Preload from the top toolbar and turn off the Preload Pages option.

You can also balance the level of preloading pages by Chrome and enable Standard Preloading instead of Extended Preloading.

Close Chrome completely and disable background activities

Sometimes, by closing the Chrome window, the processes of this browser do not stop completely and Chrome remains open in the background so that it can be opened faster in the next execution of Chrome. Of course, some extensions and applications that do not deal with tabs and operate independently of Chrome can lead to Chrome’s activity in the background and, as a result, increase RAM consumption.

If you don’t want this app to keep running in the background when you’re not using Chrome:

Open the settings and enter System from the left menu.
Turn off the Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed option.

Settings to run Chrome in the background

In this article, we explained the most important tricks to reduce Chrome consumption; However, with some initiatives, it is possible to reduce Chrome’s RAM consumption even more. If you know or have tried a specific method or trick that has been fruitful and effective for you, share it with us in the comments section.

By following a few simple steps, you can hide your favorite files and directories in Linux.

How to hide a file or directory in Linux?

Most of us have files on our computer or laptop that we don’t want other people to see. If your system uses a Mac or Windows operating system, you can use various tools to hide different files and folders or even encrypt your favorite files to better protect your privacy. In this article, we will talk about how to hide a file or directory in Linux.

In Linux computers and laptops, like Windows and Mac, you can hide your favorite files and directories from the view of others both through the terminal of the operating system and by using some tools that are very easy to use. In the following, we will introduce some efficient methods to hide files and directories in Linux.

Hide files and directories through the terminal

The easiest way to hide various files and directories in Linux is to use the Linux terminal or the Linux graphical environment (GUI).

Open a Linux terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.
In the terminal, type the following command:

$ ls $ mv sync.ffs_db .sync.ffs_db $ ls

Note: instead of sync.ffs_db, you must enter the name of the file you want and then type the file name again with a dot (.) at the beginning.

Hide file and directory through terminal

To hide the file through the graphical environment (GUI) of Linux, proceed as follows:

First, right-click on the desired file and click on the Rename option.

Hiding the file and directory through the Linux graphical environment, the first step

Put a dot (.) at the beginning of the file name.

Hiding the file and directory through the Linux graphical environment, the second step

Open and close the file once to apply the changes and hide the file.

Hide files in an image

Although hiding the file and directory in Linux by changing the file name seems to be a simple and fast method, but equally, it becomes easy for people who are a little familiar with the Linux environment to access this file. Therefore, we suggest that you go for a better method.

Data encryption or steganography is a method of hiding information in a normal image file, which, like the first method, has almost simple steps, but unlike it, it really hides the files you want from anyone’s view, and you can even hide them after hiding them. Delete the original file in the image irretrievably. In the following, we will teach the steps to hide the file and directory in an image file using the Linux terminal.

Open the Linux terminal and create a new folder (directory) using the following command.

mkdir newdir

Note: instead of newdir, enter your desired name for the new directory.

Copy or move the image file (PNG or JPG) you want to use to hide your desired file into the new folder you created.

Important note: sometimes, depending on the size of the files or the number of files you want to hide in an image, you may need to use a large image so that you have enough space to store the files inside the image.

If you want to hide multiple files, it is better to compress them into one zip file. To compress files in Linux, you must first create a new folder.

To create a new folder inside the folder you have already created, enter the following command in the Linux terminal:

mkdir /tmp/newdir

Note: instead of tmp, you must type the name of the folder you created in the previous step and enter your desired name for the new folder instead of newdir.

In this tutorial, we created a main folder named Images, which contains an image named MainImage.png and a subfolder named FileToHide. This subfolder contains all the files we want to hide.

To compress your files into a zip file, run the following command in the Linux terminal:

/zip -r secret.zip FilesToHide

Note: The r- code in the above command includes all the subfolders in the specified folder in the compressed file. In this command, instead of secret.zip, replace the desired name; You should also enter the name of the folder where you have saved all the files you want to hide instead of FileToHide.

Hiding the file in the image using the terminal step one

To hide the zipped file in your desired image, run the following command in the Linux terminal:

cat MainImage.png secret.zip > secret.png

Note: In this command, MainImage.png is our main image file and secret.zip is the name of the zip file that contains all the files we want to hide. In fact, we redirected these two files to a new image file called secret.png. Be careful that the names of MainImage and secret (in both files with PNG and zip extensions) should be replaced with the names you want.

After running this command, if you want to see a list of all the files in the folder, use the ls command. In this directory, you will see the file name of the new image you created.

Hide the file in the image using the terminal, step two

To access files hidden in an image file, use the following command to extract the zip file from within the image:

unzip secret.png

Note: replace secret.png with the name you chose for the image file containing the secret files .

When you run the ls command , the root folder containing the files you zipped will be displayed.

Hide the file in the image using the third step terminal

In this case, if you want to see the original files, enter the following command in the terminal:

cd FilesTOhide

Delete the original file after hiding it in the image

Sometimes you may want to delete the original version of the file after hiding the sample files you want in an image file. You can use the shred command to do this. This command replaces the file value with a specific value when the file is deleted. For example, we can set the file value to zero when deleting a file.

For this purpose, after opening the Linux window, run the following command:

shred -z –remove HideThisFile.txt ThisFileIsPrivate.txt

By default, these files are overwritten three times (meaning rewriting new information, without the ability to recover previous information). This amount is usually enough, but if you want to overwrite the file more often, you only need to enter the command as follows and replace N with the number of times you want the files to be overwritten.

iterations=N- shred -z –remove HideThisFile.txt ThisFileIsPrivate.txt

In this command, the z-code replaces the value of the file with the value zero. Also, the remove- code removes files; Of course, this is done through the shred command itself, but without entering remove- in the shred command, the file removal operation will not be done completely.
