a34 5g: Bigger screen, more optimized cpu and gpu and cheaper. Only buy the a54 if u really need a good camera phone.

I have been using A 34 (8/128) since the launch as my primary device, i am very satisfied with the overall experience. The phone is consistent across the performance range, never heats up and gives a good solid battery life for the entire day.
Somethings that i really like are the Samsung pay, dual stereo speakers, the screen, and the overall software experience. I am an average user whose phone is mostly kept on a desk with little social media and YT usage. Camera's are average and i do not usually click many pictures but the ones I do turn out as usable. Over all a solid midrange phone from Samsung. I will use this phone for 2 years before i upgrade to another mid range phone.

I love gsm arena, but i still can't believe they would make a video like this. I love it, more of this please 🙏

Hardware wise not the best in this price range, but software wise Samsung is much better than other Chinese brands like Redmi & realme.

As someone who owns an A52 5G, it surprises me just how much better the A34 is - while also being cheaper than the A52 was when I bought mine almost 2 years ago.

Hey GSMArena! I appreciate these kinds of videos showing clear differences between two phones which really helps people a lot.I'd like to ask if you could do a comparison video between an old flagship and a current midrange phone.What I have in mind right now is the a34 vs the Iphone 11.Kind of doubting between the two and would really appreciate it if you can make a vid about those two phones

[PowerEd]

I bought an A34 5G recently and I'm really impressed. Looks like an S line Samsung, great display, 120hz refresh, good speaker audio and battery life, and even has always on display. The device never even gets warm let alone hot!

When comparing these two phones, it would be nice to also note their comparison to previous flagships, ie: I have an S22 Ultra, my wife has an S22+ at what point do the budget phones become an on par comparison to these? I will go to the web site and do a comparison but a quick mention in a video of your (collective) thoughts would bee cool.

As an owner of a A34 5G I bear witness that this is a great and smart purchase. 4 years of Android actualization and 5 of security. The overall usage is better than an iphone 11 and may even compete with the 12. Great cameras and better than the iphone 11. I haven't compared it to the 12. For its price and all it offers, it's so great.

That better battery life with a less energy efficient screen has to do with the Dimensity being a more efficient chipset even if it is slower in terms of raw power.

A34 or A54, which one has better modem, signal strength, is not dropping connection in difficult rural areas?
Which one stays connected to wifi far away from the router?

[tommyhwang]

Buy A54 if camera be your priority...
Buy A34 if u dont care too much about camera....

[KTechRGBHD]

My no.1 tech channel. Please review K60 ultra or are u waiting for the global Xiaomi 13T release?

[billthomas]

Buddy you give great reviews always good to hear you express cell phones good and bad points...

[MarcosGonc]

I been using A54 (8/256) and for me is an excellent device. I traded a Flip 4 for him and honestly, all the stufs that i used to do on Flip 4, the A54 can do as well. Actually, thats almost nothing to complain about it.

[mrniceone]

As much as I *REALLY* like the A54, the thermal management is bonkers even if you're watching a movie, it heats up. I don't know yet if they fixed it but it's quite alarming

[honkshetri]

Bought A34 just now on Rs 28000 ...It's amazing for daily usage...Perfect for all ages
