Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G

85.3% Samsung Galaxy A34 5G smartphone review: Affordable all-rounder with an extra-bright OLED display | Notebookcheck
Samsung’s Galaxy A34 5G is the latest mid-range model of the Galaxy A series, comes with a Galaxy S23 look and does a few things better than its predecessor. The Super AMOLED screen has grown to 6.6 inches and achieves more than 1000 cd/m². The inexpensive smartphone has also improved in terms of processor performance and storage capacity.

The Samsung Galaxy A34 5G was capable of achieving good results in static scenes without too much contrast, making it a good option for landscapes and portraiture. In these kinds of non-demanding conditions, still images offered good exposure and nice detail, but our experts also noticed some image noise in the shadow areas and in blue skies. The autofocus was reactive and accurate in most situations. Video clips recorded with the Galaxy A34 5G were exposed well, with low noise levels. Effective video stabilization ensured smooth footage. Image quality somewhat dropped in more difficult conditions, such as high-contrast scenes as well as under indoor lighting or in low light. Image detail was reduced while noise became more intrusive. Our testers also noticed some exposure and color instabilities across consecutive shots. Ghosting and fusion artifacts were visible in scenes with moving subjects.

The Samsung Galaxy A34 5G’s battery performance earned the device a global score that was above average in our database. During the autonomy tests, the Galaxy A34 5G showed excellent results when used in factory default mode. The battery lasted more than 2.5 days during our typical usage scenario, and the autonomy on the go, especially when using the GPS, was very good. When testing specific usages, the results were not as good, but the overall autonomy remain above average. The device struggled when streaming music. The charging time was longer than average, taking 1 hour and 42 minutes to fully charge the battery. The autonomy gained after a quick 5-minute charge was also below average with only 3 hours and 53 minutes recovered on average. Nevertheless, the charger’s residual power drain was very low when the device was fully charged and either plugged in or not. The charge efficiency was average. The discharge currents were quite low on the go and average when testing individual usages, meaning that the device is quite well optimized. When compared with other devices from the Advanced price segment, the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G ranked in the middle of our database, a huge improvement over its predecessor the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G, which ranked at the low end of the segment. The Galaxy A34 5G’s autonomy score was decent, but the charging and efficiency scores were slightly below the average.

Samsung Galaxy A34 Review – Premium Design With Solid Battery
Source: Cashify
Samsung Galaxy A34 is a good 5G mid-range phone with a premium design and solid battery life. The phone has good cameras and offers solid performance while performing day to day tasks. On top of that, you get a fantastic display paired with stereo speakers for an amazing content consumption experience. On the other hand, the 25W charging speed falls behind the competition. The overall design looks nice but the water-drop notch spoils the display experience. All in all, the Samsung Galaxy A34 is a great option if you are looking to buy a mid-range 5G phone for everyday use.

First Impressions: Samsung Galaxy A34 5G Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Samsung Galaxy A34 may not look all that different to its predecessor, but key upgrades to display, battery and performance make it a slightly more appealing option to consumers on a budget, though I’ll reserve my final judgements for the full review in the coming weeks.

Samsung Galaxy A34 5G hands on review: Return of the matte
Source: Expert Reviews
It’s tough to say right now exactly how the A34 will perform when it comes to overall speed, battery life and camera quality but, on paper, it doesn’t look bad at all. The screen specifications point towards something rather special and Samsung has done a stand-out job with the overall look and feel of the phone as well. For a mere £349 you’re getting an attractive handset with what should be a terrific display and a big battery. You’ll be able to purchase one of the new phones from March 2023 and, if you do so before 25 April, you’ll get a set of Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 (worth £139) for free. Look out for the full review, which we hope to bring you just as soon as Samsung furnishes us with a review sample.

Samsung Galaxy A34 5G initial review: One UI for the masses
Source: Pocket Lint
The Samsung Galaxy A34 5G sits in an affordable position, not quite at the top of Samsung’s mid-range option, but offering a couple of attractive features. The design – looking like the flagship phones – is boosted by the great finish to that plastic back. It might not be glass, but it looks great. The IP rating that it carries is also attractive, but it’s the big display that’s likely to appeal to many buyers. It’s big, bright and bursting with colour, in classic Samsung style. The hardware performance might be a little slower and the cameras a little less capable – but we’ll bring you a full assessment when we’ve had the chance to review the phone fully.

Only a few smartphones have larger screens.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.
