Friend, 29 Aug 2023Samsung did not optimize the ONE UI 5.1 according to androi... more"old is good". Sadly for us the consumers, that's so true! That's why I'm waiting for the release of the Xperia 5 5! I really need that SD card! {and 3.5 jack is bonus}. Or I'll rebuy my beloved sd855 s10 plus! But this time the 512gb version! I never had any problems with it! Still rocking it to this day! So yeah "old is good"! Ps: the A34 is doing just fine, no battery drain, no problems! But again: my mother is using it like a phone, wazzap and Facebook. Not for gaming.

Fred47, 28 Aug 2023I also have battery drain issues on my A33, battery drains ... moreSamsung did not optimize the ONE UI 5.1 according to android 13. This will continue for Android 14 , 15 , 16 and 17. Graphics is too much for ONE UI 5.1.
I'm one of the Samsung fans from 2014, but now I fed-up with their phones.
I used,
01. Galaxy S Duos 2 (awesome phone and still it is working condition).
02. Galaxy Tab E 9.6 (Best tab).
03. Galaxy M20 (best phone for power saving and can use continuously for 1.1/2 days).
04. Now I have A34 (Very bad experience).
always old is gold.

Fred47, 28 Aug 2023I also have battery drain issues on my A33, battery drains ... moreA33 and A34 are not that much of bad phones, Samsung can resolve the issues with their well optimized android os, but they don't care about their midrange phones. They give better service for S and Z series only.
I also plan to use realme pro-10+ phone and avoid using this battery drains issue phone (A34).
I think we will get bad experience when we receive Android 14 , 15 , 16 and 17. so better to avoid using this phone from android 13.

Anonymous, 22 Jun 2023Case yes, but screen protector, hell no. I can't stand... moreIf you read what I wrote... You would understand! I bought it for my mom who's 70 years old. Old people are dropping stuff. So a screen protector and a case is a must! Even for a young person! You never know when the bad luck will come and you will drop your phone! Is way cheaper to change a screen glass protection than the whole display! Think man. It's free. Cheers.

AlexS, 25 Aug 2023Samsung A34 270 euro
Realme 10 Pro+ 380 euroRealme pro 10+ is better than A34-5G because,
Realme pro-10+ comes with UFS 3.1(internal storage) , 1B display colours, Wi-Fi 6 , stereo sound is very good , Battery life is 149h. os optimization is awesome and It comes with charger and silicon backed cover also.
but Galaxy A34-5G
comes with UFS 2.2 (internal storage) , 16M Display colors , Wi-Fi 5 only , stereo sound is good (With Dolby) only, battery life is 133h only. os optimization is worse and no charger and no silicon backed cover also.
Samsung always give better hardware and software for its own Exynos CPU only, but other CPU (MediaTek and Qualcomm) they are not giving proper hardware and software.
Note: MediaTek 1080 cpu is consume low power with new technology (APU 3.0) but this A34-5G consume lot of power because so many unwanted Samsung apps are running in background

EXA83, 25 Aug 2023Is there any Standby battery drain if so what has people ex... moreYes, the reason is ONE UI 5.1 is not optimized properly according to the hardware spec and also so many unwanted Samsung apps are running in background also. you cannot uninstall those apps because they do not give the "uninstall' option for those apps. it takes huge ram usage also (approximately 1GB - 1.5GB). Even sleep mode also not working for those apps.
I think we will get worse experience for Android 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 compared to Android 13 with ONE UI. Samsung software optimization is worse for every new ONE UI version. Those days samsung phones are top class but now we can't imagine the phone performance because it is worse. they need to work hard for software development.

AlexS, 23 Aug 2023You talking nonsense. Realme is much more expensive.
A34 ... moreWho told you that realme is more expensive. I compared this phone with Realme 10 Pro+ phone not other realme phones. I have Realme 10 Pro+ phone also that's y I compared with that phone.
Do you know the fact ? Samsung spare parts are more expensive than original samsung phone , sometimes you can't find the spare parts in the market also , but realme isn't like that.

Just bought this phone, the specs are good for my needs and better than my previous phone.
On the other hand, the second I took this phone out of the box, it was obvious the build quality is very poor compared to other cheaper phones I've had recently (Galaxy A31, J7). The material on the back feels like paper or something like that, also "wobbly" on touch.
The battery capacity is very low, barely lasts 2 days with not much using and on WiFi only, 5G off.
Brand new phone out of the box, but impossible to charge it, couldn't find a charger in the box.
No headphones included either.
Value for money 5/10.
