If I were getting one I'd go with the a34. Because you get most of the same experience for $100 less. Plus I am not a fan of Exynos processors. On paper it may say its more powerful but I'm betting in real life the specs don't tell the whole story. In my experience mediatek dimensity processors are superior to exynos. Especially with battery and performance optimization.
Nice comparison video and it really shows you how far upper budget to midrangers have gotten. To me, this comparison shows that the A34 is the better deal. Unless you just are obsessed with cameras specs which I think people focus on way too much. If you want professional cameras, you get a Nikon camera. Not a smartphone because no phone will have pro level cameras. I also believe that the A34 will age a lot better than the A54 just because Exynos chipsets aren't known for real world performance or optimization. I really wish Samsung would make an exclusive snapdragon 7 gen series for their A30/A50 series. But of the two, I do think the A34 with that Mediatek Dimensity 1080 will be able to handle more and maintain long term consistency on its performance.
@user-ye7sm8kb6g not a big difference also a34 charging 5 minutes faster than a54 I see another video talking about this point and a34 I think it's awesome value for money it's cost now 260$
Thanks for these A34 and A54 videos. I'm trying to decicde between these 2 at the moment. In my country the A34 is only available in 6 Gig/128 Gig flavour but the A54 is only available in 8 Gig/256 Gig flavour but also includes a limited time offer for free Buds Live. Also only green and black colours are available for both - I would have liked the blue colour but I guess it will have to black (graphite) because the lime colour doesn't apeal to me. Your comments on the similar performance between the two just make it harder to decide. :)
Where are you buying your devices from? You can buy from Amazon or third party dealers on-line. Just asked your mobile phone provider if they support the frequency bands for 4g Lte and 5g from that dealer on the particular device your interested in. (Each phone model supports different bands but not all bands, you need to ask) I live in America and I bought a Samsung A52s that is not sold in America. Unfortunately the frequency bands for the 5g on my device are not supported by my current phone provider but I was okay with that. Everything else is was exactly what I was looking for in a mid range mobile device. It's actually still a great phone
@@Jo3W3st Amazon isn't available directly in South Africa (yet). You can import from Amazon but then have to wait for shipping whereas I can just walk into a mall store and pick up either device or order online from various local suppliers. 4g Lte has been available here for years and works with any phone meant for the local market. 5g availability here is spotty but I don't really care about that.
If the a54 had a snapdragon, that will be my option but I grabbed the a34 for cheaper with free storage upgrade and free power brick. Bought it as a secondary phone but the battery of this is wonderful.

Hi, Can I ask something? What is your first primary phone? And what you can advice me a phone for just taking photos and listen music for long hours. And a mini phone. I want something like ipod but a phone at the same time
@@0bilgi my primary is an Iphone11. Not planning to upgrade it soon as not major jumps for it to be upgraded except for the screen. Whatever fit your budget will be best and I heard the a54 has some good camera but alas the exynos kept me from gettinf it.
If I want an everyday phone for taking great photos of my holiday (once a year) or everyday stuff, a long battery life, a processor which performs admirably above average, loud speakers that I can hear my wife/boss ringing me in London public transport would a Galaxy A34 suffice than an A54? Or getting the supposed "better specced" phone be better?
Help me to choice😭. I really like the camera of A54, the reason why I want to upgrade to midrange because of better camera. Cause when I'm school, I didn't usually use my phone, just for talking pictures. However, I also like playing games up to 2-4 hours every weekend when there's no class 'cause I'm a student. Lot of people A34 is better when it comes to gaming, because of its chipset. Which one is fit or good for me? Thanks in advance
I don't think it's really that much of an upgrade besides the camera module being different and updated software. Maybe it's a little bit faster. But nothing very drastic to upgrade to.
In the US no one is buying an A54 full price, in fact you can generally score one for $250 or less with trade-in so it's no brainer making it easily the better buy.
Don't really think it's gonna affect it too much, the battery life will probably still be better on the a34 since exynos chips are inefficient. And with the price difference you can geg a brick and a cover and still spend less on the a34
Turned that off. It’s just a gimmick for me. I don’t scroll fast and games don’t play 120fps on both device so why bother having it on? For smoother transitions, well I am not closing and changing apps every second and I am saving a battery.
Oh ya ... I gotta get a , a54 5G big time cause galaxy a03s is downgrade even tho it's a impressive for updates on Android 11,12,13 but I gotta have more storage and not a lot of laggy so galaxy a54 5G if not then hopefully metro get galaxy a54 & 34
Ey, another one the same boat as me. Going from the s9+, probably getting the a54 this year when it's on sale though my s9 still works perfectly but the screen is getting pretty hard to see outside. But honestly, besides the batterylife and somewhat the screen, I don't think it's too different.
@@Blackfatrat HELLO!! You can still keep the the S9PLUS!! ITS A BEAUTIFUL PHONE!!! ESP. IF YOU HAVE one like I do, draped in a clear plastic case!!! It still takes great pictures and video!! So keep it, even though you may upgrade-ok. 4/12/23. E.KJR.
You forgot one thing in the review. You did not turn on the eye protection shield and increase the yellow colors of the screen. Test and compare between two phones. Who is better in a screen with the blue eye protection shield option turned on. This is an important point in the review. How do you ignore it or forget it? Please make a review New for screen only
Iphone have big notches for years now and hardly does hear customers complaining about it but Samsung customers does complaining about some ridiculous things boy
If u want a smoother and just a better quality experience for 2 years the you should go for the A54, but the A34 is not much different from the A54 so honestly both will perfectly last you 2 years, so if u want a cheaper phone the A34 is also a great option!

i used to think this way.. but the saying "the best camera is the one you have at the moment" changed my mind.
I think it would buy the A34 bigger screen and better battery.
Its not a better battery. The screen is bigger so it obviously needs a bigger battery.
@@virexium6422 in a last test I heard it's better because also the Samsung processor need a lot of battery.
Samsung processor based on 5 nm so it's better save battery also screen 6.4 smaller than a34👌
@@theghost2o It may be that the processor of the A34 doesn't use as much energy as that of the A54

How long does it take to charge from 0-100 with a Samsung 25 W charger?
Not gonna lie, i love the plastic backplate of the newer A3X models.
The A34 is a steal TSMC Mediatek chip, great battery 4 OS upgrades and 5 years Security .patches yeah.🔥🔥🔥

A34 👍🔥
I really prefer the performance,even though samsung a34 use mediatek chipset to reduce cost,the overall power is very close
I really would like to buy the Samsung A54 but I am currently using Samsung A53. Is it worth it to upgrade?
not really, if you're upgrading from an a51 yes it is but the a52s performs identically in every aspect and is cheaper, much cheaper
@@jibixyyt thank you. I really appreciate your advice.
I don't think it's really that much of an upgrade besides the camera module being different and updated software. Maybe it's a little bit faster. But nothing very drastic to upgrade to.
@@TheJames-Edward I appreciate the advice. I will wait a bit longer. Probably for the A55.
@@wethepeoplegh No problem, that's my honest opinion from everything I've seen about the phone. I would also wait for next year to upgrade.
The A34 is obviously the better value for money and thsts what most customers look for: value for money

I want to know where I can buy a A34 5G in violet, I can't find the phone anywhere in the USA.
If only they had wireless charging on that a54 👀
The Samsung a34 is a little better, it has a little bigger screen, the camera looks a little better and is a little better optimized.
Might wait to see how the Samsung s23 fe drop later this year idk about the chip difference? I'm really liking both phones outlook right now
It is unlikely to be released since there was no S22 FE.
They won't released that because its too late to released and the sales of that will be low so... its a waste of money and time for Samsung doing that
Non adaptive screen refresh of A34 was the only dealbreaker for me 😢
Not so important for 100 dollars difference
Don't really think it's gonna affect it too much, the battery life will probably still be better on the a34 since exynos chips are inefficient. And with the price difference you can geg a brick and a cover and still spend less on the a34

Yep. If it didnt have that ugly notch, I would prefer the A34. But it really triggers me

Gaming a54 or a34 ?
The resolution is 2340x1080 and the aspect ratio is 19.5:9 for both phones.
A54 pictures did look a lot better
@Devil Bird of course it's all about the software and that is with all makings of phones
Thanks
The A54 has esim, but the A34 hasn't.
A54 I like better
A34 6,6 cize great nice but camera on A54 good😐
💪💪💪💪💪💪
The A54 is better
It's also €100 more expensive.
The chip on the 34 has come out better in some videos, not surprising though, exynos kinda sucks
I think so too
@@steveguy3 That's because of a higher clock speed (2.6GHz vs 2.4GHz)
The Pixel 7 is better than the A54 if you're not tied into Samsung's ecosystem.
i just dont like the teardrop on the A34.. .
I feel that, it's definitely outdated.
