Samsung Galaxy A34 review

10 April 2023


Sort by:

i really hope samsung would give a free charging brick after buying the a34 or a54. would be fair enough, so they dont have to charge more.

      It's a good phone, the €400 price was a bit steep but it can be found closer to €300 now which is a fair price for what it offers. If in 6 months the price comes to 250-260 then it'd be the best deal around.

        Alex 94, 11 Apr 2023As i thought, smartphone is great. With 4 years of android ... morePlastic back is even better if you want to go case less because it's more durable and won't shatter when you drop the phone.

          I mean I can say an iphone is the better choice because I got it for free as a present. But it's an invalid comparison.

                  I think it was a hardware decision once Sammy realised the efficiency discrepancy between the two chips. They won't admit it but they also made the A34's panel bigger than its predecessor.. and the A54's panel smaller than its predecessor as an extra, last gasp, effort to (fruitlessly) bring the battery life of both in line with each other.

                          Welcome back to midrange competitiveness, Samsung. All it took was using somebody else's SoC. Again.

                                      This is really a great review and I really enjoyed reading it but why haven't you mentioned that this device will get four years of Android updates and five years of security updates?
                                      I think it's very important to let people know since this is a huge huge advantage over the competition.
                                      No other Android manufacturer does this at least not in the mid-range segment and potential buyers should have that information when making a buying decision.
