But it is sad that the 778G is still the best mid range processor two years after the release. Both the A54 and A34 are using the same node of the 778 and 780...

Like the very top most of the high end device would have 2 sensors - one OD and one under the power button. I would buy it!
And they could collect stats which sensor is used more. The answer to this is obvious for me, but might be Samsung guys will figure out theirselves finally!

I'd be looking at SD778G phones or buy older flagship or yet took my time to see, if I needed "better" phone. After all, 7gen2 and more also on their way this year.

I still don't get people who pick new midrange phones over old flagships. flagships have
-Better specs
-Better cameras
-Much better support. both official and unofficial through XDA. flagships get supported for 2 years and then after that is still kept alive by custom ROMs. Midrange phones become abandonware after 1 year, no official updates or custom ROMS.
Midrange phones sued to have the adbantage of microSD and headphone jacks but not anymore. they are useless now. Just get a Pixel.

AnonD-1086827, 20 Mar 2023Samsung phones are still the best Android phones. Maybe not... moresamsung may have the highest brand loyalty from all companies producing smartphones that run android. but brand loyalty is one thing, and having loyalty desipite that brand having negative feedback is an another thing. for example: the galaxy a series is meant to compete with the likes of xiaomi's redmi note series and etc. xiaomi includes a case, a charger and support for expandable storage, while on samsung's galaxy a series phones; you pretty get none of them maybe with some exceptions. i am not saying samsung is a bad brand i mean their galaxy s23 ultra is pretty much the best phone overall you can get right now (even with the whole ''fake'' moon shots thing), i am just saying that if i want to go midrange or even sub 250 dolar phones; samsung just does not have enough compelling features that make up for it. TL;DR: samsung is a good brand yes but for midrange class i dont think they have enough great features that make them stand out

I told him: if it's not a Samsung or an iPhone, don't even think about it .
He wanted a Nokia, I started yelling on the phone: NOOOO!!! 😂
He finally got a Samsung Galaxy A71. Pretty OK for him.

Patrik, 20 Mar 2023If you live in Europe what would you choose? Xiaomi 13 Lite... moreSamsung phones are still the best Android phones. Maybe not the best prices, but overall, I will pick a Samsung phone over a Chinese one.
So, even if all the Chinese phone brands will exit Czech Republic, I wouldn't cry too much about it.
Anyway, majority of Czechs buy iPhones or Samsung phones.

I doubt they'll add this feature to the A54 to make it look superior to the A34, since y'know.
WE NEED THE PRICES TO BE LOW!

It's really sad the A34, while it's comparable to phones like the Realme 10 Pro+, is cursed with this teardrop notch forever.
In my opinion, I Kinda like the U-Notch, since it brings a sense of nostalgia for the Older 2019 A-Series Phones (A30-50-70-90).
One thing people hate about it is that It's Outdated.
As for the A54, it's nice seeing it have more upgrades than the Notorious A53, Build Quality, CPU (which is common nowadays), Cameras, etc.
Some Sacrifices had to be made (Like Wireless Charging getting removed), but hey, it's to keep the prices down.

It's telling, that even 2 years on the A52s is still not worse,
but maybe still even the better phone.
In terms of features, it was "complete" (for a bufget phone).
(yes, headphone jack, so much better then USB dongles).
Maybe this time the Exynos has improved enough to make a good showing.
Very interesting the change in the display ratio, which hopefully will be copied by others. That's a perfect move. That is a substantial improvement.
Pricing will adjust according to availability of Pixel 7 and 7a, for sure.
