A34 user here. I can definitely say this phone is one of the best overall package you can get for a midrange phone. Paying for the higher price tag like the S series isn't really necessary for those who don't really utilize the performance and features. This a34 has all the features(dual speakers, awesome camera, one ui, 120hz) you can ask for which is almost the same as the s series!

I got a oneplus 10 pro for 5 days wich burned the plate, and an S22 ultra for like one month, talking to a friend who owns a 22u the first thing I said to him was: Im disapointed it just not worth the price 5000 BRL( around 1000 dols) even tough i paid 3,700 brl in very good sale, but ende up returning, cause i dont like oversized phones, I dont use SPen often and hgiher resolution display;refresh rate doesn't make any difference to me, The only thing I'll miss is the zoom. to resume we pay like 2000 BRL just for the camera I got now a s23+ for 3300(+-750 dols) BRL and I think I will settle with this fits better for my use.BUt I have total awaraness there is almost no gap between mid range and premium mid range phone from the flagship is ALL about he camera, and together with storage was the only reason Im lefting a pocoX4 gt, wich is an absolute beast for 90% of the users just lack good cameras.

I'm one of them who doesn't care much about the camera, as long it can take a quick picture I'm happy. I'm looking for decent scrolling (without lag) and a good screen. Even 128GB are more then enough for me. I'm old school, I connect my phone to the PC and just move the pictures from the phone to the PC. In all my life I never had a phone running out of space. The A34 sounds perfect. I use maybe 10 apps on my phone.

[@mrgodspeed]

I believe for the next-gen A-Series phones, Samsung should give the A55 the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 (or Gen 3 if it's out by then) to make it a better value and avoid making the same mistake it made this year as well as perhaps a 108 MP main camera now that the 200 MP camera's here

[@waizmudassar]

Yes considering that the a 70 tier is no longer in production and the s24?s should get 200 mega pixels Also samsung is making a 300mp so s25's probes gonna get it So 108 should be in the upper mid tier by next year

[@mrgodspeed]

@@waizmudassar Exactly

[@James-fg3ed]

They kinda did. Look up either the m54 . Its the India version of the A54. It has 8GB of ram as well as a 108MP camera. It even has a 6.7 inch screen. The only downside is the fact that they removed the stero speakers and it's a plastic build on the back

[@mrgodspeed]

@James-fg3ed an 108 MP camera but no stereo speakers makes no sense to me, I wonder why they made it that way

[@James-fg3ed]

@@mrgodspeed it seems like it doesn't make sense. But the M54 is cheaper than the A54. Has a bigger screen and battery at 6,000mah and has the 108 sensor. Also adding stereo speakers surprisingly costs alot. They have to mount the top speaker at the right angle with the right amount of pressure release or else it'll blow the top speaker. That's why alot of older phones with the 2 speaker setup had speaker issues over time or from being dropped. The pressure made them blow. Newer speakers aren't as prone. But they still have to design the chassis to handle the extra movement and sound of it. But yes it is weird. But I guess they have to cut corners somewhere

[@nonstopbg]

My dad wanted to get A14, I did some quick research and saw it's damn slow. A34 was 5 TIMES faster on benchmarks at about twice the price. It gets close to my S20 FE with SD 865, which is still lightning fast even today. I am glad I didn't go any higher, especially after watching this video.

[@injaehwang5776]

This year, samsung focuses more on the building up and refinement for user experience. I am using S23 ultra now, conpared to S22 ultra, everything is a little better for everyday usage. But that small portion is everywhere. So overall user experience seems to be improved a lot. When I tried A54 and A14 in the best buy, it is very solid for the price nowadays. Previous A series used to get a mere reputation in S. Korea, but this year A34 got a lot of attention as a value for the money.

[@laissezfaire8561]

User experience is mainly due to the software updates released. Virtually S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra is similar when it comes to day-to-day use, except for maybe the 1 or 2 second faster app loading speeds

[@bladerunner53]

I bought the A54 and it's an all-rounder but not best in any specific area. I am ok with that. Also the glass back does give a premium feel to it that I still have not put any back cover. So, if I had bought the A34 I would have surely put the back cover.

[@studyman2991]

I have samsung A6, i am sorry you should research properly its all metal.

[@midniteee]

I actually didn't realise just how close midrange phones are to high end ones. I've recently picked up an A34 as a second phone for work to go alongside my S23. And I'm honestly starting to question why I'm paying £500 more for a flagship. In terms of features. DEX, wireless charging and all the other gimmicky stuff which I never use personally is irrelevant to me. The build quality obviously isn't as premium on the A34 and that is something I would miss if it were my daily driver, having said that they've done a fantastic job with what they have, the plastic all has a nice matte finish and feels great in the hand. The S23 has a great camera and obviously the two are not comparable in terms of dynamic range and detail. That said, the A34s cameras are still solid and in terms of general posts on social media, most people would hardly notice the difference. It's amazing how far smart phone cameras have come in the past couple of years. I've been quite impressed with some of the images I've shot with this thing in good lighting. The A34s biggest selling points are the screen, as it's on par with the high end devices. It's frustrating though that there is no adaptive refresh rate, as it seems like it has been intentionally left out as higher end only feature. The battery would be the next best selling point as it easily sails through a day of heavy use or two on medium use. Had adaptive refresh been a thing on the 34 the battery could have been even better. Don't get me wrong the S23 is a better phone but I'm actually mind blown by how good the a34 is.

[@Lucy_595]

They s23 is way more superior in every aspect, you'd realize it more if you compare the phones side by side. The major difference will be felt after 2 years where the mid range will start lagging but the flagship will still be smooth due to a superior processor and do daily tasks without overheating.

[@midniteee]

@@Lucy_595 I have compared them side by side, extensively.. but tbh I doubt after two years that will be an issue for me as I tend to upgrade every two years anyways and I've found in the past providing you maintain your phone well it will continue to run smooth for its entire lifespan. And from my use with both devices the s23 isn't actually superior in every aspect. The battery life on the A34 is actually far superior to the S23 (and the main reason I needed a second phone). But the point I was trying to make wasn't that the A34 is a better phone, it isn't. But that the performance difference isn't worth the difference in price. To me personally it boils down to 4 things and they are marginal really; 1. Do you care about better cameras? For me no, I have a DSLR which shoots a better image than any smart phone camera. I've taken pics on my S23 and A34 and 95% of my IG following probably can't tell the difference. 2. Better build quality? For me yeah I care about this and it's one of the reasons I will always prefer the S23. Having said that, for its price the A34 feels more expensive than it is, and it just has a nice feel in the hand. 3. Gaming? I don't care too much for mobile gaming but the performance difference is noticeable. But once again having said that, the A34 performs fine with any game I've booted up and I've never had an issue with overheating. Oddly enough though I have found my S23 to get quite warm while gaming, nothing that would cause damage to the phone but enough to notice. When it comes to daily tasks I can barely notice any real difference tbh other than the camera app running smoother on the S23. 4. Wireless charging? Possibly a big one for some people but again for me it's just not something I use and I'll always find charging with a cable to be far superior. From my use with both devices I feel like I'm getting probably 80% of the experience of an s23 on the A34 for less than half the price. Because when it comes to my personal needs for the device and the differences itself I truly only really care about the premium build quality of the S23 and it's not really worth the £400-500 more in cost. Probably won't stop me from buying an S25 but I feel if you're limited in your budget of it's a stretch to buy the S23 just get an A34 or A54 you're getting most of the features and only slightly worse performance for a much better price.

[@Meet_Your_Death]

Depends on perspective. There are people who even complain about flagship phones having worse camera compared to some other flagships. And there are also people who are satisfied with mid range cameras.

[@ishmael4489]

I agree; it's a shame this phone doesn't have an adaptive refresh rate. If it did the battery would be even better!

[@nikhilvijay6022]

Guys for a casual user which one is better: A34 vs Nord 3? Looking to use for 4-5 years. A34 will receive 4 years Android updates Nord 3 will receive 3 years of Android updates.

[@JessicaFEREM]

If I were on a prepaid plan, I would probably go with this phone. it's budget enough to where you could seriously not miss anything from a flagship, other than a camera, but then again, you could get an old school point and shoot that takes better images than the 200mp cameras on the flagships just because of the bigger image sensor.

[@manoz6194]

I was planning on buying the A54 but there was a deal on the A34 and I don't regret it at all. The only thing I would have liked is a smaller screen. Even smaller than the A54, about 6 inches

[@PanchoChiekrie]

I got a great deal on the A54 and it wasn't much more expensive than the A34 (still in the mail, haven't got it yet) but I wish I brought this one instead. however, one benefit I can see with the A54 is in 4 years time it might run a bit better with updates (some reviews state that the A54 is better at games, those reviews may be more up to date than this one) but I'm a casual user so it won't effect me.

I like the way Western KZbinrs always shows Mobile they are taking about unlike Indian youtubers who shows their Faces more than Mobile itself.

[@veryfewfriends]

I know there are other reasons that support getting the A34 over the A54, but weirdly enough, traditional speed tests can be a poor way to test chipset performance. Especially since the MediaTek processor is a year old and is very likely to be used in more than one phone by one brand, there is a possibility that the chip is just better optimised for. Now of course this is good for the A34 (and every other phone that has this chipset), but it doesn't mean the chip is necessarily faster. Still it remains to be seen whether or not the Exynos chipset will get better or remain the same.

[@aRTEFRES]

If you look at the specd you will see that a34 chip had 2 cores at a higher frequency and that only helps with lower cpu intensive tasks like opening common apps - this can give the feeling of being faster but its only snappier...bring out some intensive cpu task and the a54 cpu will win. For dailly use though i will 100% take the snappier cpu.

Bro..... a54's exynos chipset is dedicated for camera performance and the a34's mediatech chipset is focused on phones raw performance. basically Galaxy A54 is a camera phone and A34 is more like a budget gaming phone. there is a huge difference in photo samples of A54 and A34. it depends on you which one you need. camera or performance😅

that is true. something to think about when you are looking for a phone. what do you use it for? if you want best internet speed,browsing, occasional wedding/birthday snaps and really good connectivity then the A34 is the way to go. if you want to HD stream your genitals onto onlyfans,then A54(for 1080p!) obviously S series if you do that sort of thing in 4K😆

[@maleman67]

I had the A52 2 years ago. When it died suddenly couple of months back, instead of getting the A54, I got the A34 because it wasn't worse off than the A52 (performance wise), and cheaper too.

[@alkaholic4848]

Standard A52, or the A52s? Apparently there was a big difference. Interesting comparison because I have the A52s 5G and the USB port failed after a very very brief encounter with salt water (so much for IP-67!), and i'm not sure what to do now. A54 looks like a downgrade (similar performance but no headphone jack), so i'm not sure what to do, maybe just get the cheaper A34 instead and pocket the difference.

I definitely agree with your points on this phone. I would describe it as the best mistake Samsung has made regarding their A series. The Mediatek Dimensity 1080 is definitely a better chipset than the Exynos 1380. I wouldn't touch an Exynos processor with a 10-foot pole.

[@DARTHBANE-sz4zj]

Too bad the exynos 1480 will come with amd radeon gpu

[@mihirojha4475]

​@@DARTHBANE-sz4zj power wise they don't really have to do much but their main issue is to fix their fabrication first. Exynos by themselves probably aren't bad processors but Samsung's fabrication has some serious issues that causes all chips manufactured by them to have overheating and battery draining issues. I mean they even messed up the Snapdragon 888 and 8 Gen 1, after TSMC made the wonderful 865 and 870. So the issue is their fabrication, not the chips themselves.

[@CViciousz]

exactly buddy the only one phone I had and it was really good by the way with exynos chipset wwas s7 edge, really a beast back then. Nowadays mediatek just crushes exynos just like every other brand. I've had never used the mediatek chipset before but I Knew the times when it was trash chips were in the past. And my first had to be the mediatek dimensity 8100 in a poco x4gt, as I said above dont lose in any point to snap gen1 besides the photos processing, an absolute beast chipset it crushes any task and to be fair I felt much more smoother using the poco than the s22ultra.

[@muaddib878]

Having used both, I really can recommend either the A34 or A54 ... and I actually generally like Samsung phones. I have an A23 5G, an A33, and my wife has an A53. Other than a little disappointing battery life on the A33 and A53 - they are all perfectly fine for what they are. I purchased an A54 a couple weeks ago - I get choppy scrolling anywhere on One UI or in any app. I returned it. I then tried an A34. Excellent battery life and performance. The MediaTek Dimesity 1080 seems like a really good chipset. Its a real shame, because it scrolls smoothly (unlike the A54), but whenever I pinch to zoom it jitters like crazy - making it really unpleasant to use. Returned. Also - not a deal breaker for me - but both the A54 and the A34 have significantly worse viewing angles than the A53 and the A33 (with significant green tinting even slightly off angle on the A34 and A54). Also noticable white shadow under black fonts on a white background with the A34. I don't know why reviews don't mention this (or were they both bad units?) It seems Samsung really went down hill quality-wise this year ...

I now made sure the next phone i get will be a better S series Ultra phone, so hopefully ill never go back to lag machine mid-rangers in my life. I recommend everyone to get an older flagship over any mid-ranger for the same price. And if you can, save up a bit more and get a newer flagship, since it is worth the money if you plan on using it for more than 3 years or so. And also, our phones are one of the tools we use the most in our everyday lives to do everything, so having a good one is a must, at least for me.

I was excited about this phone but you made me doubt at the end of the video when you talked about the photographic section, so I decided to look for some more information, and in the GSM Arena review they especially highlight the photography of this phone saying, and I quote, "The 12MP (48MP) main camera stills are great for a mid-range device". And same story with the ultrawide, "The 8MP ultrawide camera produces very satisfactory photos. These have plenty of detail, and there is practically no noise", and the selfie shooter, "The full-resolution 13MP selfies look great, with plenty of detail and great skin tones and texture." So that's it for me, I'm going with A34

[@retrogaminggenesis6102]

Is the A54 waterproof and does the A34 have an OLED panel, and do either support wireless charging? Think if the A54 has both the display and resistance but the A34 lacks them the A54 still has advantages that can swing a buyer.

[@SoberSourabh]

the Samsung A52s 5g was another anomaly like this performing better than its successors and still holds up thanks to the SD 778g processor and also happens to have a headphone jack. Been using it for a year now, its just awesome for the price.

I have the Samsung A52 4G with the Snap Dragon 720G, still works fine and fast. From work i have a Google Pixel 6a with its Tensor chip which is actually an upgraded Exynos from Samsung. about performance, it feels like the Galaxy A52 is slightly better. Only the camera of the Pixel 6a is better.

Unfortunately my USB port developed a fault after a very very brief encounter with salt water (so much for IP-67!), so i'm looking at replacements. But the A54 is a downgrade (similar performance but no headphone jack) which is very disappointing for 2 generations newer.

[@yellow_flash813]

No, not really. Depends on what you mostly use the phone for. For the average user, 8gb ram is definitely overkill.

[@drachna]

My phone is a Xiaomi competitor to the A52, and even though it's coming on two years old now there's basically no reason to upgrade it aside from flagging battery life. These mid range phones are bizarrely good for the price, and get plenty of android updates. I think that anyone buying a brand new flagship phone in 2023 is getting an absolutely terrible return on their investment, when they could get basically the same phone for two thirds of the price in last years flagship, or a new midranger that's 90% as good for less than half. (With the exception of course being cameras.)

[@bbdon2380]

That's probably because of software i think. Some processor just understands the instructions what the software gives them (faster performance) and others only depends on the speed (fastest but with stutters, bugs, and glitches behind the scenes).

[@MJ-uk6lu]

I disagree. A54 just ended up too expensive and thus fitting nowhere, neither midrange, neither high-end. A34 is just what A54 should have been in the first place. And A54 has many improvements over A34, that make it good long term, but not so much A34. It's sort of situation where you want A54, but cold mind says to get A34, only to end up at 90% satisfactory device instead of 100%. It's just a dumb dilemma to have. Also A34 made Samsung's cheaper phones disappear. There's A14, but it's e-waste and expensive e-waste. Where's A24 in EU?
