Lol, I was an die hard ximi fan, but motherboard issues on poco + screen flickering issues causing headaches and eye strain, black crush and green tint and side mounted fingerprint cable issue, I decided to give samsung another chance and I have to say I'm pretty surprised with this phone, since I play games ALOT, the dimensity 1080 does a good job and it's even better optimized than on redmi note 12 pro, for the battery you can check dxomark it lasts 2 days and it ranked even better than iphone 14, but in my case I charge it once per 12 hours because I'm a heavy user but overall even the battery is great, the only thing I would complain about is the speaker quality, sound gets distorted in high volumes, and I wish there was HDR support, and the cameras, overall the quality is good but compared to my redmi note 8 pro, details lack a bit but the quality is fine and not disappointing, getting 4 major os updates and 5 years of security updates is not what you get from xiaomi and they are really slow in pulling new updates. Overall I'm so glad I didn't go for MI 11 lite nor poco x5 pro, but redmi note 12 pro was another good option and I recommend yll if you wanna go for ximi,fortunately there are no major issues on that model neither.

I bought A34 last month, not because I wanted, but I had to. My previous phone started to get problems with mini jack, so after 3 years I decided to buy something new. I still have my Redmi Note 8 Pro (Android 9). Samsung was the only option among all these nowadays crap. I want adequate quality for the money spent.
First I tried to buy A52s 5G, which has all I need, but it's hard to get it in my region. I bought it as new in internet shop with electronics, but they sent me used garbage :) I turned it to the seller. I was thinking about Realme 9 Pro Plus, but it turned out, that it's hard to get and warehouses are out of stock at that moment.
Redmi Note 12 Pro - too high price for capabilities, poor battery life and I don't want Chinese stuff right now.
Poco X5 Pro and vanilla version - too high price comparing to Samsung A34, lack of waterproof, allegedly worse camera.
Poco F - too high price, I didn't wait for release, and it was good decision.
So the only reasonable option was A34. I wanted mini jack badly, but I had to surrender.
General experience is very good. I promised myself not to buy Samsung anymore (after S6 Edge, with damaged fast charging and overall bad battery experience after merely 10 months), but there was no choice. Samsung A34 - UI, apps, system smoothness, everything is ok. Samsung's OS grew up from 2016 S6 Edge. Battery experience is so-so. Comparing to Rn8Pro, drain is significant, unfortunately.
But the camera experience.. I expected progress when changing phone from Redmi Note 8 Pro when it comes to full resolution photos, but I am disappointed.
12 mpx photos are really ok, balance, colors, just fine. But 48 mpx mode is useless. Photos are lack in details, can't zoom in photo to use this higher resolution, they are soft and blurred. I like to do full res photos outdoor, landscapes, and Redmi does it very well.
But Samsung, 50% more expensive than Redmi at the time of buying, failed at this point, very.
I'm lucky that I could use cash back promo and overall Samsung costs me less than regular, so I can sleep at night.
There was no other option, no complete, good smartphone with good price, so no choice.
I think next year I will have to spend more money and buy something with better camera and battery setup. Maybe ex-flagship model from Samsung, don't know how market will look like.
And one curious thing, out in full sun I can see fingerprint scanner on the screen.. Little square at the bottom.
My wife's A34 has the same.
My S20 FE doesn't have it.
It makes me nuts.
Regards :)

Anonymous, 06 May 2023Choose color silver.This is the one I bought. It works with US Mobile - T-Mobile just fine. Every once in a while, 5G goes in and out. Doesn't like Poweramp player. So using Blackplayer EX fine. So far so good but hard to get cases locally. So, you have to special order a case. I got 1More Sonoflow wireless over ear headphones and uses LDAC codec fine with Dolby Atmos on. Stereo speakers sound okay with movies. I like this phone. I got it for the 4 major updates. I couldn't afford the A54.

But if you are a Xiaomi die hard fan, go for the Xiaomi.

I have to admit the A34 is a very good proposition. I kinda feel like the A54 and A34 are similar in closeness to the Pixel 7 and 7a.
Other than the teardrop and a little here there's not a huge difference. Plus Dimensity looks better for battery life than the Exynos.

Finch92, 29 Apr 2023well i did check it, and exynos 1380 better then dimensity ... moreExynos processor had been failing just above one year of regular use. A classical example is that what comes with M30s. Complaints arises and the only option is a mother board change which is an expensive option.
