Its interesting how most of youtubers want a mid range phone to act like a flagship.

You completely wasted people's time with this video. 7 reasons not worth mentioning its a great phone

[mjjuane]

For cheap price with water resistance IP67, good and reliable OS and experience.. good battery life and the built of this device is just spot on.. using one now and having the dimensity 1080 processor.. compare to its competition in this price range.. its a very good buy.. no other phone in this price range with IP67 water resistance.. 😊✌️

[scrag]

Hardly reasons to avoid just be aware of these issues, do your research beforehand. Dude it's a mid range smartphone what do you expect.

[kokom]

These are not bad reasons, atleast for me. The benchmark test is what made me wanna upgrade to a34, since my current galaxy is only at 300 😅

[viralityac]

This phone is amazing value for money. I already have an S23 and I love it but needed a second phone for work and honestly this A34 is almost as good, and even better in some regards. For £300 I'm honestly blown away.

The bigger display is really nice and that 120hz refresh rate is great to see considering the price. It does have noticeably more glare than the s23 and a subtle blue tint when looked at from an angle (and I've noticed this with even some flagships so it's not to big of a deal). The notch is there and honestly between that and the hole punch it doesn't really matter to me, I dislike both but it is what it is.

The battery is where this phone truly shines. I get through a heavy day of use with 30% left. Whereas my s23 would barely make it through the day.

The cameras are solid. The end result doesn't have the same punch or level of detail as the S23 but unless you're an avid mobile photographer this is definitely going to suffice. I'd say these are probably on par with, if not slightly better than flagship mobile cameras from 2-3 years ago.

Overall great phone and amazing value for money. I haven't used a midrange phone in probably 5 year and I'm genuinely mind blown at how close this is to a flag ship. I'm genuinely now evaluating if the £500-600 extra I've been spending on flagships these past few years has even been worth it, I genuinely don't give a shit about wireless charging or DEX. The only thing I feel I even miss is the better build quality (tho the finish on the back of the A34 is stunning) and the adaptive refresh.

Comparing this to flagships ?that's crazy

[markwebb]

I got this phone for £275. It's an excellent phone for that price. If I didn't buy it myself I would've thought it cost a lot more.

Review the phone for what it is rather than dream about how it should be the phone is actually faster than the A54 you can buy this phone for about £235 128gb memory 8gb ram you get Andriod updates for 3 years plus security updates it is expandable to 1TB oled screen 120mghz refresh rate avarage camera but for me thats not an issue its the best phone for that money hands down this is totally the wrong advise IMO

[acejon]

Bought this phone at around US$230 (8GB/256GB version) with free Samsung 25W charger and Samsung 10000mAh battery pack during a promo last week.

This phone is seriously underrated in terms of price vs features. And almost on par with the A54 5G which is way more expensive.

[begarci]

Your reasons are a bit hilarious IMO.😂 it's a good buy for daily use or 2nd phone. Close to a regular 22/23 but a budget friendly price.👍🏻

[alicemcb]

Being a bit picky about a mid/lower range phone aren't we? No reason whatsoever to avoid if this is your price bracket!

[texx]

You last point is false, in fact, MediaTek chip included is actually a lot faster than its Exynos counterpart in A54 5G, maybe even contrary to Samsung expectations.

[pedropacheco]

This is one of the poorest reviews I've seen of a phone. First you are presenting personal preferences as "reasons", this is a mistake. On the other hand, it is not reasonable to evaluate a product without considering its price and its characteristics in relation to similarly priced products.

[raisjaffrey]

Kevin. Nice review but quite unfair to Samsung by comparing a mid range phone to higher end models. Limitations will always be present with these variables taken into account or maybe I am just pro Samsung 😮

[siisi]

I always use bluetooth headphones so a missing headphone jack is actually a good thing, less places where dirt can go. Getting a usbc wall adaptor is a easy and pretty cheap. No idea what dex is, don't need it. Don't need wierless charging either. I like the notch. You should always get a case for your phone anyway. Perfectly fast for phone use, buy a computer for anything else. Some whiny reasons to avoid in my opinion

[kamiranzaxoi]

Fortunately none of these reasons are reasonable for me to avoid buying this fantastic phone since it's only 235 USD in my country which is very cheap with all these features and as long as it's samsung i am going to buy it without thinking of any other phone cuz there is no phone better than samsung in android world

[opalyankaBG]

Okay Kevin, those are valid points. But tell us which phone at a similar price point has all these features? Or you're just complaining in general?

[Kardinull]

I don't think that the inclusion of a charger should be a determinent factor in buying a phone or not. I just think that it should make us disappointed in the relevant company for cutting costs.

[vithanagewijesundara]

Mate, you are comparing Apples to Oranges, this is why SAMAUNG has created A34 and S series, two things. If A34 should have the same features as S series why would have they created A34. This your video is to get something out, isn't it? I do not see any logical conclusion in this video. Anyway it is up to the people who watch
