Right to the point, concise, objective reviews and zero stupid chit-chatting, just relevant information. GSMArena still the best.

The notch can be disabled in settings for nearly all the apps, if desired, and there is stabilization for 4K video. There's also Dolby Atmos and stereo speakers which are much better than the Google pixel 6 I had. A USB C to 3.5mm jack adapter can easily be purchased for £2.99 off Amazon.

That notch isn't really a problem. Just choose a wallpaper that covers it etc. People are enjoying their iPhones that have that huge notch or island blocking a large section of the view and they don't complain.

I like the new aspect ratio & similar design to S23 series, also SD card support, stereo speakers with ip rating & decent chip upgrade & not too bad performance from A54, its a Solid device

Couldn't care less about notch, great device👍👍👍

Comparing it to my s20 fe 5g so far:
Processor: A34 (About the same, could be even better)
Display: S20 FE 5G (Non-notched display)
Software: A34 (Up to android 17, 4 years OS support)
Build: Both (Except the S20 FE 5G has a better IP68 resistance and the A34 having gorilla glass 5, they are technically the same in build)
Features: S20 FE 5G (Dex mode, 30x zoom, ufs 3.1). But besides that they are still the same
Speakers: Both (both have stereo sound with no 3.5 connection)
Overrall the A34 seems like of sacrificing few features, but I would say its worth it considering its nice software support. Still would use my s20 fe 5g for features it has missings such dex mode. But overall the a34 wont have problem being my daily driver. So far have been saving for it and not regretting it so far

My dad recently bought this phone. (Me and my brother helped him to pick it) He needs under display fp sensor (as it is by far more accurate than the side/back mounted ones), bright display, good battery life and fast charging in his phone. He is by far no power user, so this thing suits him perfectly.

This A34 has a better chipset than the Exynos in A54 which is more expensive.

Im using this one now, its fine. I dont over react for some specs like the notch or what like other people cry over. ✌️

[dynamicvibe]

The design on the Samsung Galaxy A34 is simple. I like the display and its aspect ratio. That notch is a no-no for me.

[mandipshrestha]

People find this tiny notch dissapointing. But iphone 13 series has bigger one

[BucharestRO]

Very good phone, i have it and love it. Big clear screen and good battery life. Can't wait to see what they do with A35

[imbukwa]

I will buy this phone on the first week of May 2023. Can't wait

Bro, I'm so glad Sofia, Bulgaria is being represented in this video!

Shoutout to my bulgarian brothers on this channel! :DD

[karabocharles]

I'm in love with the stereo speakers

[honeychops]

Easy, well produced straight forward video. Good enough to sub for.

[jowellgamingshow]

I've been eyeing this phone for awhile and I love the look, design, and bigger screen! Much better than my A71 5G ugly design lol and happy to see SD card support still and stereo speakers but sucks no headphone jack but it's whatever, I don't mind the notch that people are complaining about. I rather that than an ugly hole punch in the middle of the screen on my phone but thank God for Nacho Notch to clear that up. This phone of course wasn't released here in the USA but I'll just get it on Amazon because I refuse to get the A54, this phone is better.

[LisaHall-mwdh]

Great video and advice. I was originally looking at this one then the A54. Think I’ll stick to this one. Thanks!

[oliversmith]

Galaxy A34 with the dimensity 1080 is delivering users with a super cool performance at an affordable price!

[GFourGadget]

It's a pretty good midrange, but the borders and notch is going backwards 👎
