I just noticed a little off-angle would show a green cast unlike my A33 and my wife's A53. But overall the display was still pretty good on the A34.
The pinch zoom coppiness was severe on my A34 and I had to return it for that reason
Im in Canada but had the Latin American variant. Where are you? I wonder if the EU variant would be better...

A total of 16 hours and still 22% left. and i have never seen any notable lag at all. the cameras are better if you look closely in all photos and videos. and the chipset is slightly faster. after android 14 my a54 can do a geekbench score of 2892(it did 2888 in android 13) whereas a34 is in 2450-2480
here is the screenshot of my a54 reaching geekbench score of 2892 after android 14:

I was really impressed with the performance on the A34. It's the display/scolling/zooming issues that absolutely slaughted both devices and forced me to return them.
I don't care that the display is brighter this generation. The viewing angles are *much* better on the A33 and A53 vs the A34 and A54. And the choppy scrolling (on the A54) and jittery pinch-zoom (on the A34) make the devices somewhat unpleasant to use. A definite downgrade to the A33 and A53, despite better performance and battery life.

Galaxy A54 is much better than A34, because they give the priority for their own cpu (Exynos) phones. Actually A34 one ui 6.0 system file size is same as A54. Because they don't like to optimize the one ui according to the different hardware spec. That's y so many issues are occurs due to that reason.
Really galaxy 0x series phone users are very lucky, because 0x series use only one ui core only.
One ui is using more ram (not virtual) and more battery power.
Note: All their phones are best before 2019. We hope they fix ram usage issue and power draining issue with their upcoming updates and future one ui also.

Having used both, I really can recommend either the A34 or A54 ... and I 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 shame, because while it scrolls smoothly (unlike the A54), 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 ...

Guys, why this A34 not support for AV1 , h.265 , heif video and audio file format. But when I check the mediatek 1080 cpu website that they mention this 1080 cpu can run those file system.
I need to watch my online recorded class videos (I'm one of the software developer).
