dlareklami, 25 Apr 2023Hi all. Please help me choose between Samsung A34 and Redmi... moreSamsung is offering 4 years of Android updates and out of the box the A34 comes with Android 13 so it will go up to Android 17

    Hi all. Please help me choose between Samsung A34 and Redmi Note 12 Pro. To my understanding, they are very much similar. Samsung probably will be supported for 3 years, meaning I can get Android 16. Xiaomi offers faster charging and a bigger screen. In my area, Samsung now offers free buds headphones as a bonus, but no charger in the box.

      I'm quoting from the review: "which is quite an ambitious goal, but also very vaguely worded".
      What is vague about Samsung's statement?? They will update the device for 4 Android generations which means this device will eventually get Android 17 and 5 years of security updates from it's launch date.
      I don't see anything vague there...
      Samsung should be praised for this move and not criticized!!

          Goan, 11 Apr 2023With offers and discounts, I bought the Samsung S21FE at ab... moreWhere did u get the 256gb variant? It's not available anywhere i believe, and even after all discounts it's close to 36k

            Well you see, it will be always like last year.
            A33 no AOD, A53 yes AOD
            A34 no HDR10+, A54 yes HDR10+

            So A35 might have HDR10+, but it is next year model, so...

              Reading the comments here. Why is everyone so emotional? Just calm down, it's a great price to performance ratio. You should also concentrate on improving your English and spelling

                  Do not buy one. Samsung introduced the app Game Booster. You cannot delete the app and it controls ALL your installed games. If you love adds and dislike playing games then this is for you, if you prefer the game buy an alternative. There is NO escape!

                    Ridicilous price with that ancient design & tech, 100$ xiaomi phone already step ahead while samesung stepbackwards

                      Why people complain about the notch that much. Everybody ignores the gigantic notches on iphones blindlessly.

                        Hhh, 12 Apr 2023@GSMArena, it seems a bit strange that there was no mention... moreIt seems threre is now a vague comment in the review about the software update situation (ironically, calling it vague :) ).
                        But potential buyers (reading this review) do want to know!
                        Could you please ask Samsung for an official statement on the matter (for their other phones too, especially A54) and report the response (or their refusal to respond) so that we are better informed?

                          Hhh, 11 Apr 2023The battery charging results we see here are quite strange,... moreHey @GSMArena, it seems that you changed the battery charging results by reducing the reported time to full charge by a lot, like 30 minutes !
                          While thankfully you've put a note saying "Update, Apr 12: We've updated the charging results below based on further testing.", the note would more appropriately mention *what the changes were*, too.
                          We'd also appreciate some explanation about it too: was there some mistake in the testing, some update delivered to the phone, something else?

                            a52s still better than all of A series released since. the nerve these companies have 😂

                              Anonymous, 11 Apr 2023A34 is much better than A54If you can't afford a54 then yes go for A34, but in no means this device is better than a54.

                                Anonymous, 13 Apr 2023Is this better than a Huawei Mate 20 pro camera and speed wise? Yes, of course it is. That Mate is way too old. I guess the P30 Pro still has a better camera, but definetly not better perfomance.

                                        @GSMArena, it seems a bit strange that there was no mention of the update policy for this phone, commonly though to be 4+1 years (OS + security updates).
                                        Are you not sure that this is in fact accurately the policy that applies? If so, we'd much appreciate if you get in contact with Samsung and let us know of their official response.
