So question I have the SG A 32 5G and my mother owns the SG A23 5G Why is hers in terms of when it came out more recent than mine? shouldnt it be the other way around how does that work? And why? Well all this is according to Google
Doesn't the A54 have an adaptive refresh rate over the A34?
Huawei Mate60 pro can beat you all.
Can you make a video comparison of the galaxy a34 and redmi note 12 pro plus. They both have the exact same price
They actually making less than before
A34 user here. I can definitely say this phone is one of the best overall package you can get for a midrange phone. Paying for the higher price tag like the S series isn't really necessary for those who don't really utilize the performance and features. This a34 has all the features(dual speakers, awesome camera, one ui, 120hz) you can ask for which is almost the same as the s series!
I bought that phone for my Mom and the only complaint she has is the fingerprint sensor; it just cannot be consistent with a tempered glass! She uses face unlock now.
Could have just bought a pixel 6A lol
@@FS-me8mj You're joking, right?
@@Farhan_049 No you can literally find one now under 300
@@Farhan_049 I have no problems with the fingerprint sensor atm. Maybe you could try use the gel screen protector. It cost around a few bucks and it doesn't crack easily like tempered glass.
I've been through a lot of high end phones this year. The iPhone 13 Pro, S22 Ultra and now the Z fold 4. I realize by watching this video that this phone would of 90% of the things that I need a phone for, for literally a fraction of the price.
Of meaning have. 🙃
@@GH0STST4RSCR34MAnd Wireless Charging?
Let's face it, the phone would do 100% of the things you NEED to do with a phone, it might lack some luxuries, but it lacks absolutely nothing you actually need.
I was watching the whole video thinking I 100% agree with this guy, but at the same time I was he is missing the camera , gladly you ended it like a BOSS.This year I Had my firsts flaghsips and true S line phone, I was always the value for money guy had chinese phones and liked it a lot because at end of the day all of them delivered more for paying less(used xiaomi oneplus mainly) But now it doesn't worth to import due to taxes and similar prices especially in high end phones.
I got a oneplus 10 pro for 5 days wich burned the plate, and an S22 ultra for like one month, talking to a friend who owns a 22u the first thing I said to him was: Im disapointed it just not worth the price 5000 BRL( around 1000 dols) even tough i paid 3,700 brl in very good sale, but ende up returning, cause i dont like oversized phones, I dont use SPen often and hgiher resolution display;refresh rate doesn't make any difference to me,
The only thing I'll miss is the zoom. to resume we pay like 2000 BRL just for the camera I got now a s23+ for 3300(+-750 dols) BRL and I think I will settle with this fits better for my use.BUt I have total awaraness there is almost no gap between mid range and premium mid range phone from the flagship is ALL about he camera, and together with storage was the only reason Im lefting a pocoX4 gt, wich is an absolute beast for 90% of the users just lack good cameras.
@@pedrothevenard exactly almost nobody needs a flagship, people Just want to have It, with exception tô content creators and people who need excelent camera in their device the mid range phone are more than enough
I'm one of them who doesn't care much about the camera, as long it can take a quick picture I'm happy. I'm looking for decent scrolling (without lag) and a good screen. Even 128GB are more then enough for me. I'm old school, I connect my phone to the PC and just move the pictures from the phone to the PC. In all my life I never had a phone running out of space. The A34 sounds perfect. I use maybe 10 apps on my phone.
😮
Same here haha
This is reminding me to move some files from phone to PC.
wondering your thoughts on these clunks of crap 8 months down the track? many aren't so optimistic now
@@stansmith1114 In the end I got myself the Razor Ultra 40, best phone ever, I will never got a normal phone again. I loved the original Razor and was heart broken when they stopped making flip phones. Finally flip phones are great again, and the Razor is far ahead of the Samsung flip phone when it comes to implementation.
I believe for the next-gen A-Series phones, Samsung should give the A55 the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 (or Gen 3 if it's out by then) to make it a better value and avoid making the same mistake it made this year as well as perhaps a 108 MP main camera now that the 200 MP camera's here
Yes considering that the a 70 tier is no longer in production and the s24?s should get 200 mega pixels
Also samsung is making a 300mp so s25's probes gonna get it
So 108 should be in the upper mid tier by next year
@@waizmudassar Exactly
They kinda did. Look up either the m54 . Its the India version of the A54. It has 8GB of ram as well as a 108MP camera. It even has a 6.7 inch screen. The only downside is the fact that they removed the stero speakers and it's a plastic build on the back
@James-fg3ed an 108 MP camera but no stereo speakers makes no sense to me, I wonder why they made it that way
@@mrgodspeed it seems like it doesn't make sense. But the M54 is cheaper than the A54. Has a bigger screen and battery at 6,000mah and has the 108 sensor. Also adding stereo speakers surprisingly costs alot. They have to mount the top speaker at the right angle with the right amount of pressure release or else it'll blow the top speaker. That's why alot of older phones with the 2 speaker setup had speaker issues over time or from being dropped. The pressure made them blow. Newer speakers aren't as prone. But they still have to design the chassis to handle the extra movement and sound of it. But yes it is weird. But I guess they have to cut corners somewhere
My dad wanted to get A14, I did some quick research and saw it's damn slow. A34 was 5 TIMES faster on benchmarks at about twice the price. It gets close to my S20 FE with SD 865, which is still lightning fast even today. I am glad I didn't go any higher, especially after watching this video.
Price Is 2x times more too in my country
I also have s20fe with SD 865 and it runs butter smooth , I LOVE IT @@mickyhouse124
hi there, which product is better, india or vietnam?
a14 is like 130 euro, and a34 300 euro😅 So yeah, higly doubt your dad needs anything bettwr then a a14 if he would let you look up what he needs😂
I have the A14 5G and it's not slow at all. He probably was gonna get the 4G. I heard the 4G is slow.
This year, samsung focuses more on the building up and refinement for user experience. I am using S23 ultra now, conpared to S22 ultra, everything is a little better for everyday usage. But that small portion is everywhere. So overall user experience seems to be improved a lot. When I tried A54 and A14 in the best buy, it is very solid for the price nowadays. Previous A series used to get a mere reputation in S. Korea, but this year A34 got a lot of attention as a value for the money.
User experience is mainly due to the software updates released. Virtually S22 Ultra and S23 Ultra is similar when it comes to day-to-day use, except for maybe the 1 or 2 second faster app loading speeds
I bought the A54 and it's an all-rounder but not best in any specific area. I am ok with that. Also the glass back does give a premium feel to it that I still have not put any back cover. So, if I had bought the A34 I would have surely put the back cover.
I have samsung A6, i am sorry you should research properly its all metal.
I actually didn't realise just how close midrange phones are to high end ones. I've recently picked up an A34 as a second phone for work to go alongside my S23. And I'm honestly starting to question why I'm paying £500 more for a flagship. In terms of features. DEX, wireless charging and all the other gimmicky stuff which I never use personally is irrelevant to me. The build quality obviously isn't as premium on the A34 and that is something I would miss if it were my daily driver, having said that they've done a fantastic job with what they have, the plastic all has a nice matte finish and feels great in the hand.
The S23 has a great camera and obviously the two are not comparable in terms of dynamic range and detail. That said, the A34s cameras are still solid and in terms of general posts on social media, most people would hardly notice the difference. It's amazing how far smart phone cameras have come in the past couple of years. I've been quite impressed with some of the images I've shot with this thing in good lighting.
The A34s biggest selling points are the screen, as it's on par with the high end devices. It's frustrating though that there is no adaptive refresh rate, as it seems like it has been intentionally left out as higher end only feature. The battery would be the next best selling point as it easily sails through a day of heavy use or two on medium use. Had adaptive refresh been a thing on the 34 the battery could have been even better.
Don't get me wrong the S23 is a better phone but I'm actually mind blown by how good the a34 is.
They s23 is way more superior in every aspect, you'd realize it more if you compare the phones side by side. The major difference will be felt after 2 years where the mid range will start lagging but the flagship will still be smooth due to a superior processor and do daily tasks without overheating.
@@Lucy_595 I have compared them side by side, extensively.. but tbh I doubt after two years that will be an issue for me as I tend to upgrade every two years anyways and I've found in the past providing you maintain your phone well it will continue to run smooth for its entire lifespan. And from my use with both devices the s23 isn't actually superior in every aspect. The battery life on the A34 is actually far superior to the S23 (and the main reason I needed a second phone).
But the point I was trying to make wasn't that the A34 is a better phone, it isn't. But that the performance difference isn't worth the difference in price. To me personally it boils down to 4 things and they are marginal really; 1. Do you care about better cameras? For me no, I have a DSLR which shoots a better image than any smart phone camera. I've taken pics on my S23 and A34 and 95% of my IG following probably can't tell the difference. 2. Better build quality? For me yeah I care about this and it's one of the reasons I will always prefer the S23. Having said that, for its price the A34 feels more expensive than it is, and it just has a nice feel in the hand. 3. Gaming? I don't care too much for mobile gaming but the performance difference is noticeable. But once again having said that, the A34 performs fine with any game I've booted up and I've never had an issue with overheating. Oddly enough though I have found my S23 to get quite warm while gaming, nothing that would cause damage to the phone but enough to notice. When it comes to daily tasks I can barely notice any real difference tbh other than the camera app running smoother on the S23. 4. Wireless charging? Possibly a big one for some people but again for me it's just not something I use and I'll always find charging with a cable to be far superior.
From my use with both devices I feel like I'm getting probably 80% of the experience of an s23 on the A34 for less than half the price. Because when it comes to my personal needs for the device and the differences itself I truly only really care about the premium build quality of the S23 and it's not really worth the £400-500 more in cost. Probably won't stop me from buying an S25 but I feel if you're limited in your budget of it's a stretch to buy the S23 just get an A34 or A54 you're getting most of the features and only slightly worse performance for a much better price.
Depends on perspective. There are people who even complain about flagship phones having worse camera compared to some other flagships. And there are also people who are satisfied with mid range cameras.
I agree; it's a shame this phone doesn't have an adaptive refresh rate. If it did the battery would be even better!
Guys for a casual user which one is better:
A34 vs Nord 3?
Looking to use for 4-5 years.
A34 will receive 4 years Android updates
Nord 3 will receive 3 years of Android updates.
If I were on a prepaid plan, I would probably go with this phone. it's budget enough to where you could seriously not miss anything from a flagship, other than a camera, but then again, you could get an old school point and shoot that takes better images than the 200mp cameras on the flagships just because of the bigger image sensor.
I was planning on buying the A54 but there was a deal on the A34 and I don't regret it at all. The only thing I would have liked is a smaller screen. Even smaller than the A54, about 6 inches
Thank you so much for sorting this out 👍. I haven't yet bought A54 or A34 because I simply couldn't decide on which one to buy. Now I know that A34 is the one for my needs and very nice to save money too 🤗.
If you're okay with a worse battery life I suggest going for the S21 FE over any A series phone though, as any S series phone generally is always superior to the A ones.
@@mihirojha4475Money
@@mihirojha4475I heard the A54 has fantastic battery life. I don't have forts hand experience but most of the reviews/comparison videos I have seen. Tell me more of what you have found.
A34 better than a54 in optimization
Buy a used S21Ultra for around 150 when S24Ultra gets out in 4m
13:33 nice to watch your indepth expose... I quickly gathered that the A34 was a better bargain than the A54 and I was quickly swayed by just a few revelations before I got one for myself namely the screen size and the fact that HDR 10 was available for Netflix movies....its a little hilariously funny how I stumbled into the better buy inspite of the supposedly (nominally) superior A 54.. It's nice to hear you give I suppose the whole story...
Great video, very informative. Can you share where you got the wallpaper. Keep the videos coming. Thank you
I got a great deal on the A54 and it wasn't much more expensive than the A34 (still in the mail, haven't got it yet) but I wish I brought this one instead. however, one benefit I can see with the A54 is in 4 years time it might run a bit better with updates (some reviews state that the A54 is better at games, those reviews may be more up to date than this one) but I'm a casual user so it won't effect me.
Great review. This is my next phone when it goes below 250 on Amazon.. Also, updates too
I've had it for like a week and quite enjoy it, It is better than the P40 I had surprisingly in a lot of aspects (but the more obvious flagship stuff, like the camera you mentioned, obviously isn't as good) I did not think transitioning back to proper android phone would be so smooth. Also the mini stereo effect as a result of the top speaker line, makes looking at visualisers while listening to music out loud even better. Do not like how the front camera having a lower resolution means it's more likely not to recognise my face.
Awesome video! And nice wallpaper, could you please share the link to download it?
Tks
G'day from Western Australia. Yesterday I bought the A34 for my wife, having discussed cost and specs for value - on now watching your video she is even more convinced it was a good decision and is delighted with the purchase! Thank you!
hey. how it is now?
@@nateman_ Hey thanks for asking - it's awesome! As is my older A52s 5G. Best mobile 'phones we've ever purchased.
How is the heat bro? Does it get too hot? In my country Temperature is around 40-50° so
@@jfndjxn8545 Nope. No worries at all. Sometimes my A52s can get slightly warm, but then keep it well wrapped in a case that is also a wallet - so 3 layers thick not the usual two, thus more likely to get warm. My wife seems happy with the A34, and being slightly bigger likely helps with the cooling - having more surface area. So all good! The ambient temp can get to 44-46C in summer here in WA.
@@stevezodiac575 thx bro!
Watching this video on an A34 😊
Niiiice! #A34gang
How is your experience?
Does it support GOOD LOCK
@@crit4686 very positive, coming from a Poco phone. Xiaomi UI is buggy here and there. I've never had a flagship phone but still pleased with my purchase.
@@navodyabatagoda sorry, I don't use it, not sure if it does have support for this phone.
Strange to learn that,very good review..
Appreciate ur work..keep doing it.
After all these years using flagships and occasion mid range, i feel it is always better to get a second hand older flagships for better performance, camera, build quality, speakers etc. Only drawback is less years left for updates and check for the battery health.
Awesome phone!!, very happy with my a34, massive upgrade from my A03
I knew it. I had the same feeling the first time I saw A34's specs and reviews. I'll definitely buy one if I had a chance. Teardrop notch doesn't bother me, especially since it's easier to put a tempered glass.
I like the look of a teardrop more than a hole punch.
Maybe I’m just chronically free of fashion sense lol
I know there are other reasons that support getting the A34 over the A54, but weirdly enough, traditional speed tests can be a poor way to test chipset performance.
Especially since the MediaTek processor is a year old and is very likely to be used in more than one phone by one brand, there is a possibility that the chip is just better optimised for. Now of course this is good for the A34 (and every other phone that has this chipset), but it doesn't mean the chip is necessarily faster. Still it remains to be seen whether or not the Exynos chipset will get better or remain the same.
If you look at the specd you will see that a34 chip had 2 cores at a higher frequency and that only helps with lower cpu intensive tasks like opening common apps - this can give the feeling of being faster but its only snappier...bring out some intensive cpu task and the a54 cpu will win.
For dailly use though i will 100% take the snappier cpu.
Great points made I got the A34 for my Dad over the A54 in doing research as the A34 has better perlonged performance (no throtthing unlike exynoss) and better battery life despite the lack of vairable refresh screen and cameras are pretty close. The much cheaper price makes it a no brainer over the A54.
Awesome phone!!, very happy with my a34, massive upgrade from my A32.
I already owned A54, right now I feel like being scammed, paying extra for hole punch camera and glass back phone 💀
Most of the people would really say A34 is way better than A54
That's not the only difference, a34 doesn't support hdr
well, the camera is ~15% better on the A54.
Oh, don't take this too serious... A54 is pretty awesome too
A34 is the ONE that samsung isn't miss with execution for midrange, and really love this phone... good for daily task 😊
I agree with you👍. I am 100% pleased about A34.🙂👏
will this last for more than 6 years
@@redjinn999devil2 Probably not, mid-range phones usually don't last more than 3-4 years. But it saves you a lot of money from buying a flagship.
@@redjinn999devil24 years will still good, the more Android version update will make this phone performance degrade slowly
@@Progress2000They do and it depends on the user.
Wade, I bought one of these a few weeks ago,just thinking it might be decent, but I'm still flabbergasted at how good it is. Wish it had a punch hole selfie camera though.
This is something I don't like lol, to make the A54 look like the better phone they gave A34 the notch.
@@mihirojha4475same situation with the A33 and A53, bit cheeky
Funny If they did that A54 will be irrelevant
Samsung needed something to differentiate lol🤣
I think the A series overall is a go-to option if you looking for a budget phone, I'm still using an A22 from 2021, love it❤️
I'm on the A21s from 2020 and am struggling to decide what to upgrade to as there dosen't seem to be many improvements within the new A series line up. My phone has no lag that bothers me but I would like to see improved picture quality when zoomed in. I was hoping to get the A74 but it got scrapped
@@DevonianJannerfellow a21 user here, the upgrade in camera quality outside of flagships is going to be worser because most of it is on the software side of things, still the a34 has pretty good cameras and the specs are amazing, a34 should do you good, I'm buying one myself.
@dsg4500 Thanks, I've actually ordered the A34 and it's due to arrive today but will likely arrive Monday as the post service here is always late. I got the jist you get more bang for the money on the A34 vs the A54 but am looking forward to trying it out
@@DevonianJanner yeah pretty much, for this year at least a34 is the best option, wish you luck with your phone
@DevonianJanner It all depends on ur budget but I think as long as the A series you're buying has an Amoled display, a good processor for speed and decent cameras.
I managed to get the 256GB model for £299 when Samsung did a promo in the UK. No regrets, one of the best phones I have used and that includes high-end models.
A34 is basically a flagship
for the camera, which budget phone would you recommended?
Wow, thx for the tips. I would order this multiple A34 for my family members as I was looking for cheaper android phones.
Having used both, I really can recommend either the A34 or A54 ... and I actually generally like Samsung phones. I have an A23 5G, an A33, and my wife has an A53. Other than a little disappointing battery life on the A33 and A53 - they are all perfectly fine for what they are.
I purchased an A54 a couple weeks ago - I get choppy scrolling anywhere on One UI or in any app. I returned it.
I then tried an A34. Excellent battery life and performance. The MediaTek Dimesity 1080 seems like a really good chipset. Its a real shame, because it scrolls smoothly (unlike the A54), but whenever I pinch to zoom it jitters like crazy - making it really unpleasant to use. Returned.
Also - not a deal breaker for me - but both the A54 and the A34 have significantly worse viewing angles than the A53 and the A33 (with significant green tinting even slightly off angle on the A34 and A54). Also noticable white shadow under black fonts on a white background with the A34.
I don't know why reviews don't mention this (or were they both bad units?) It seems Samsung really went down hill quality-wise this year ...
you are a smart man, just hope everyone doesn't cause it to go out of stock.
I definitely want anyone who wants this phone to be able to get it…but it would be pretty funny to see it completely sell out and have Samsung be stuck with only A54s 😅
I recently got the Samsung Galaxy a24 I am very happy apart from the app crashes (ie: when I play contra returns at the share to get diamonds section when returning from the app I am sharing to my game would restart) that is very annoying but that's the only issue. The phone is very loud though which is a huge plus.
With the right Wallpaper and settings the noth can be hidden, meaning a black statbar and a wallpaper that has a black or very dark top, else you are spot on whiich is exactly why I purches it ofr my motorbike navigation and for the magnetic phone holder a non glassy back is anyways better for variious reasons.
Your videos are awesome man. Keep up the good work!
I love my a71, great screen and battery, decent enough performance. Will probably only upgrade next year to the a55
I was excited about this phone but you made me doubt at the end of the video when you talked about the photographic section, so I decided to look for some more information, and in the GSM Arena review they especially highlight the photography of this phone saying, and I quote, "The 12MP (48MP) main camera stills are great for a mid-range device". And same story with the ultrawide, "The 8MP ultrawide camera produces very satisfactory photos. These have plenty of detail, and there is practically no noise", and the selfie shooter, "The full-resolution 13MP selfies look great, with plenty of detail and great skin tones and texture." So that's it for me, I'm going with A34
Im a sucker for those flat edges and slightly thicker bezel. If their flagships had this exact design I'd be happy.
Just got an A34 5g after watching this video...chose this over the A54 5g...Thanks Wade!
That's fine. But I need a decent camera. That's the only thing I need the flagships for. Too bad that the A series don't get upgraded to do a decent job at photos. I could compromise a little, but not as much as I would have to with the A34 camera.
that's it to resume today camera are the only one reason to think about getting a flagship, there is almost no gap between mid range and flagship, that's why I moved to S line... It is bit disappoiting but is the truth
My old Asus Zenfone 4 MAX started to give me issues and the camera quit, so my son bought me the A34 from Walmart. I had a 2 week stint in the hospital so the new phone was greatly appreciated.
However, my experience with smart-phones is rather limited to the aforementioned Asus and the Nexus 4 before that. This is much faster, as well as much more storage and the camera takes pictures that aren't blurry, so I'm happy.
I have both. I don't know much about other apps, but internet feels faster in the a34. the reason I got the a54 too was because it was a sale
Where can i download that wallpaper?? ❤
Depending on where you buy the Samsung A34 5G, some offer free original Samsung casing, some throws in a pair of free earbuds and some throw in screen protector. I bought mine with a free casing. I bought the screen protector from the retail store just for extra protection. I figure replacing a screen protector is still cheaper than replacing the display screen.
Hey, I need help choosing. Should I buy S21 FE or A54, both are priced £499? Thanks 🙏
I got the s21 ultra refurbished for 550 bucks in July off of backmarket and its the best choice ive ever made. I now made sure the next phone i get will be a better S series Ultra phone, so hopefully ill never go back to lag machine mid-rangers in my life. I recommend everyone to get an older flagship over any mid-ranger for the same price. And if you can, save up a bit more and get a newer flagship, since it is worth the money if you plan on using it for more than 3 years or so. And also, our phones are one of the tools we use the most in our everyday lives to do everything, so having a good one is a must, at least for me.
Any issues getting a phone from them?
the Samsung A52s 5g was another anomaly like this performing better than its successors and still holds up thanks to the SD 778g processor and also happens to have a headphone jack. Been using it for a year now, its just awesome for the price.
I have the Samsung A52 4G with the Snap Dragon 720G, still works fine and fast. From work i have a Google Pixel 6a with its Tensor chip which is actually an upgraded Exynos from Samsung. about performance, it feels like the Galaxy A52 is slightly better. Only the camera of the Pixel 6a is better.
@@Maryn78 didnt know A52 felt better than the 6a. Nice Nice
Me too, absolutely love my A52s 5G, amazing phone.
Better than the flagship imo cos it has an SD card and headphone jack!
Unfortunately my USB port developed a fault after a very very brief encounter with salt water (so much for IP-67!), so i'm looking at replacements. But the A54 is a downgrade (similar performance but no headphone jack) which is very disappointing for 2 generations newer. Going to have a look at other manufacturers, and if i can't find anything maybe go for the A34 to save some cash and keep an eye out for something better in future.
@@alkaholic4848 i have A52s and calling quality is tragic,it gets me nervous when i speak to others,i don 't hear them crearly....i' m going to sell it!
Watching in my a34... no regrets guys!!! This phone is dope
Hi there. I want to ask...Did the One UI 6.0 update included improvements and enhancements to the main & selfie camera photo and video quality, performance and the battery life on the Galaxy A34 even if it's small? Or do you think it's best to get something like the S21 FE 5G instead?
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?
I prefer the a54, i used both. With a54 now. No major issues and in my country the price differe t is only 40 dollars
Why do you prefer the A54?
I haven't looked much into the A34. I don't think you mentioned if it has a single bottom speaker, or a dual speaker setup.
Dual.
It's single man
It's stereo. I have one. The second speaker is hairline size above the front camera. Dobly atmos.
its dual. stop spreading misinformation. you can google it up@@domilesespartan3287
Got one! Straight into a case and glass screen protector. Great phone at $180 total cost on plan.
Could you please make a review for Xiaomi phones? Does it works in US?
Since it's not available in the US, would you advise taking a chance on purchasing a Unlocked Worldwide version?
Sure! You just have to be on a GSM carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile or one of their prepaid MVNO’s like Boost, Cricket, Tello, Simple, Mint, etc) It won’t work on Verizon, US Cellular or other CDMA networks
@@TechDaily thank you.
Absolutely fantastic review!! I wish I watched this before I bought my Samsung Galaxy A34( I literally just bought it today lol), because I honestly had no idea what the difference was between the 34 and 54 even after doing a side by side on GSM arena! However it sounds like I made the right choice and I'm glad you pinpointed the differences in this videos! Nicely done!
is it a good phone for everyday use?
It's been a great phone!
@@DD-ix3bm i have heard a lot about the battery that has downgraded, is the battery still good?
@@logic_thinkerno battery issues here!
@@logic_thinker I've used my phone quite a bit today. Took it off the charger at 6 am....it's 3 pm and it's at 69%!
A34 is cool from the looks and how you have explain every part of the phone,here in Kenya i think there is only 4G model since the 5G network is not officially here in country, but they selling it at very high price tag, am still grinding i will buy someday
Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience with us! What I'm gonna ask might be a little bit stupid of a question but since I've considered to buy this, I would appreciate it if you could answer me. Do these phones "A34 5g" or "A34" have the snapdragon chip?
It doesn't use snapdragon Soc, instead it uses Mediatek Soc
I definitely agree with your points on this phone. I would describe it as the best mistake Samsung has made regarding their A series. The Mediatek Dimensity 1080 is definitely a better chipset than the Exynos 1380. I wouldn't touch an Exynos processor with a 10-foot pole.
Too bad the exynos 1480 will come with amd radeon gpu
@@DARTHBANE-sz4zj power wise they don't really have to do much but their main issue is to fix their fabrication first. Exynos by themselves probably aren't bad processors but Samsung's fabrication has some serious issues that causes all chips manufactured by them to have overheating and battery draining issues. I mean they even messed up the Snapdragon 888 and 8 Gen 1, after TSMC made the wonderful 865 and 870. So the issue is their fabrication, not the chips themselves.
exactly buddy the only one phone I had and it was really good by the way with exynos chipset wwas s7 edge, really a beast back then. Nowadays mediatek just crushes exynos just like every other brand. I've had never used the mediatek chipset before but I Knew the times when it was trash chips were in the past. And my first had to be the mediatek dimensity 8100 in a poco x4gt, as I said above dont lose in any point to snap gen1 besides the photos processing, an absolute beast chipset it crushes any task and to be fair I felt much more smoother using the poco than the s22ultra.
100% agree. I would recommend the A34 over A54 to a friend if given a choice.
The A54 was a step down from A 52 5G. Hopefully the next gen A 55 would be a lot better. samsung should also make faster Exynos chips.
yoo can u link the wallpaper u use on the a34? that's a nice wallpaper
I had the A52 2 years ago. When it died suddenly couple of months back, instead of getting the A54, I got the A34 because it wasn't worse off than the A52 (performance wise), and cheaper too.
Standard A52, or the A52s? Apparently there was a big difference.
Interesting comparison because I have the A52s 5G and the USB port failed after a very very brief encounter with salt water (so much for IP-67!), and i'm not sure what to do now. A54 looks like a downgrade (similar performance but no headphone jack), so i'm not sure what to do, maybe just get the cheaper A34 instead and pocket the difference.
@@alkaholic4848 It was the standard A52.
I like the way Western CZcamsrs always shows Mobile they are taking about unlike Indian youtubers who shows their Faces more than Mobile itself.
Is your A34 the international version or the USA version?
My phone is a Xiaomi competitor to the A52, and even though it's coming on two years old now there's basically no reason to upgrade it aside from flagging battery life. These mid range phones are bizarrely good for the price, and get plenty of android updates. I think that anyone buying a brand new flagship phone in 2023 is getting an absolutely terrible return on their investment, when they could get basically the same phone for two thirds of the price in last years flagship, or a new midranger that's 90% as good for less than half. (With the exception of course being cameras.)
The quality of your videos are top notch. Awesome review.
Thank you so much! 👍
@@TechDaily you welcome bro 👍
I see what you did there, 'top notch'
This is my first phone and it is absolutely amazing 👏 Whenever I take photos in portrait mode (there are 10+ modes) people think a professional photographer took it or its 4k! Whenever I play gannes, it is so smooth on max graphics or even when I download games it is so fast! For 350 pounds, it's an amazing phone. The only thing I don't like about it is the thickness, I prefer thin phones but that is my personal preference. I really suggest this phone 🎉
It's pretty bad though for prolonged gaming
And the notch is very ugly
@millyyeasmin7904 But that is really personal preference
@@millyyeasmin7904 What did you expect 4 350 pounds?
@@anexsq6326 everyone I know thinks the notch look very ugly
In reality and everyday use,what are the differences between Qualcomm and MediaTek SOC? Nothing that much. I've owned phones and tablets with both manufacturers chipsets and I never felt my gear was lacking.
DO you please have any recommendation for a samsung phone with a good camera under 400 dollars? Would help me a lot
You should compare the A34 to last year's A53 someday🥺
Thanks Wade. Comparing the two now, the A54 is definitely faster and smoother. As people need to learn, Samsung releases their exynos chips and they are not very well optimized from launch. But after about 3 to 4 months they speed up considerably. This is the case with the a54. It's running more smoothly than the 34 is. Another point is that the GPU is much better on the a54, if you're into any games. The a34 is really quite poor it games.😊 Agreed though, the a34 is a fabulous value right now. I find the only better value is to purchase a used flagship at half the cost about 14 months after launch.
I dont Think A54 Good For Gaming Because Games Like Pubg Only Support High Fps and High Graphics While A34 Support HDR With 60 Fps. Other reason why a54 Bad at gaming is it has low cpu stability compare to a34. A34 Will not get hotter like A54 But A34 Much Stable Phone Than A54. To Mee This point Matter Than Anything i miss from A34 Over A54
honestly i took this phone with my contract since they didnt want to give me any other (i took a relatively cheap contract since it had all i need) and every single day since im happy with it, and glad i took the A34 5G, its runtime is tru the bank amazing, the Display is realy amazing and easy on the eye, and the sound is beyond anything my old Huawei P30 could deliver, and that was already a decent and well working phone that worked for 3 years of daily heavy use ^^ and dont get me started on the camera, hadnt expected such good pics on a "mid class" phone >_
It really looks nice Samsung does have some nice products. What's the speed like with apps open.
Also another big mistake is a54 price is around ₹40000 so if you can just spend extra ₹5000 you can buy s21 fe with 8/256 gb not only that they the latest version they released comes with snapdragon 888 processor
base variant costs 30k
I have had the A34 for One month and its fantastic,great display and Audio im getting nearly 2 days battery as im not a Gamer and I'm a light user,also the chip doesn't even get luke warm,looks great in my Ringke Fusion clear case👍👍🔥🔥
One good thing about budget and mid range Samsung phones has always been the battery back up.
I have problem for a34
I casually play games alot and it seems draining faster, and the temperature gets warm quickly even when i just use yt and ig.
will it last for more than 3 years?
@@redjinn999devil2 any phone can easily last for 3 years, it just depends on your use case. I used a $120 Redmi Note 7 Pro for almost 4 years and yes, it did get a bit laggy but it works still really nicely. Had to change because one other phone in the house died.
That's probably because of software i think. Some processor just understands the instructions what the software gives them (faster performance) and others only depends on the speed (fastest but with stutters, bugs, and glitches behind the scenes).
Is the A54 waterproof and does the A34 have an OLED panel, and do either support wireless charging? Think if the A54 has both the display and resistance but the A34 lacks them the A54 still has advantages that can swing a buyer.
To be honest since last year I recommend the a33 over the a53 and this year I strongly recommend the a34 especially with this beautiful design even with the drop notch.
the performance is really amazing it's a good value for the money
Poco x5 pro , a series is shi
@@BelaPumaHaha shitty UI with only 2 years at max of support. Not to mention some bloatware and spyware possibly installed. Not taking risk, galaxy > xiaomi
@@Lilybellfan sony
In my country they only sell 6GB version of A34 and 8GB version of A54. The price difference is about 50 dollars. Which one makes more sense in this case? I think 8GB RAM is needed nowadays or not?
No, not really. Depends on what you mostly use the phone for. For the average user, 8gb ram is definitely overkill.
Please tell me how to shoot 4K video
I wish you hadn't mentioned the notch. It's ugly by comparison to the cut out on the A54, but I've bought it now, and hopefully I'll get used to it like most people say they do. I'm pleased the A34 has better battery. That's the entire reason I'm replacing my Pixel 4a - the battery can't hold charge anymore, sadly.
Bro..... a54's exynos chipset is dedicated for camera performance and the a34's mediatech chipset is focused on phones raw performance. basically Galaxy A54 is a camera phone and A34 is more like a budget gaming phone. there is a huge difference in photo samples of A54 and A34. it depends on you which one you need. camera or performance😅
Too bad both phones sucks at photography compared to other budget phones out there like the Pixel 7a.
@@zeliphpixel 7 a is way expensive than a54
@@zeliph Pixel 7 is a budget phone? 😂
that is true. something to think about when you are looking for a phone.
what do you use it for?
if you want best internet speed,browsing, occasional wedding/birthday snaps and really good connectivity then the A34 is the way to go.
if you want to HD stream your genitals onto onlyfans,then A54(for 1080p!)
obviously S series if you do that sort of thing in 4K😆
My most recent Samsung phone was a s9+, thats now what??? 3-4 years old.
I “think” over all its still superior to the A series. Note i said “think”.
But will samsung continue to support this A series phone? Ir is it a one time one good ohone but left unsupported? For the long term ?
Yep, Exynos seems to be the worst chips in term of Power efficiency and heating.
Got S22 5G Exynos and this is the worst phone I had in years. My two previous ones were Xiaomi Mi A1 and OnePlus Nord, and both outperform the Samsung S22 in many areas, most of all - battery life, GPS signal and antenna signal.
The Samsung was repaired twice already due to the battery dying or the 5G antenna getting hot enough to burn me.
Edit: If Pixel 6a didn't have some of its bugs, it would have been the best option for me. Got one for my mother and it has been through enough abuse already to make any phone break down. But it is still going.
Just bought this phone yesterday and it really is a bang for the buck. Bought it mainly cus of the long term software updates. Wish it had a headphone jack though.
Totally agree with you absolutely loving it,it's a great device don't need to spend a grand on a flagship👍👍👍
Big heavy wish was 6.1
Using A34 for more than 6 months. Can say it's definitely on par with a 50K phone. 5G Speed is awesome with good camera and best refresh rate.
is the battery good??, is it bugging?
The wallpaper is amazing. Kindly share the link
And you are a good photographer you can click so real good photos with the a54. it even competes with the pixel 6a camera which was last year's best camera phone (mkbhd)
Wade said in previous videos that the A54 cameras were decisively better than the A34 cameras, but now he's backpedaling! I was a huge fan of this channel until these types of hypocrisies starting popping up. I bought an A54 partially based on his recommendation, but now he is putting the phone down. I'm very disappointed.
The Samsung A phones already give a excellent and better choice than Chinese base phones like Oppo, Vivo,...
Bro i have Oppo a92 for like since it was launched. I have to say from a samsung user before i bought the oppo A92, Oppo was the best phone i had by far but never had an exoensive phone before because i just dont like to spend big on a phone so 300-400 dollars is the most i spend
This is truly the bang for the buck amongst the A series lineup 💪🏼😎
amazon model says only compatible with t-Mobile, Mint. Would an AT&T previously activated sim card work?
My main phone is still the OnePlus 6, best phone i've had so far, but its time to finally make the switch, the 6 won't receive security updates anymore. I was interested for the A54 but now, wow this video was invaluable, im definitely going for the A34
I got this phone last week samsung had a sale and i paid £249...what a bargain, does everything i need it for.
You gave a lot of good points for the A34 but I think the fact its not in the us might be difficult for people to buy the phone and most likely they will buy the flagship phone over the budget . is there much difference with a54 its a shorter stockier phone with a glass back cover and more readliy available for use in the us but there will probably be an A55 which is better in a year or 2. if you had the A20 and A21 and now A14 the a34 is a great upgrade but if you had the A53 the A54 is the better choice in that stage of upgrades. each phone will have flaws and hits also how often are you going to be in a race to see who can get to google faster or watch a movie faster. so its the preference of the customer if you money says buy A34 then buy it and if your money says you can spend a bit more then go A54 . The A54 is not the A34 rival the rival is the pixel 7A so we need a rival for the A34 to see how it stands out.
Most of the Samsung A serries are shipped to India and Africa
Someone that has an A54, anything better after the updates?
