Latest Samsung Galaxy A series are the Galaxy A34 and Galaxy A54. The Galaxy A34 has grown considerably. So much so that with a 6.6-inch display, it is now bigger than both its Galaxy A33 5G predecessor and the Galaxy A54. If more screen real estate is what you are after, then the A34 is the obvious choice.
Beyond pure dimensions, both of these devices are very similarly built. Both have plastic middle frames and a Gorilla Glass 5 on the front. The more expensive A54 does sport a Gorilla Glass 5 back as well, whereas the A34 settles for a plastic sheet instead. Both devices also have an excellent IP67 ingress protection rating.
The similarities continue further with controls and general layout. No 3.5mm audio jack, but both have hybrid stereo speaker setups. Both also use a similar, if not identical optical under-display fingerprint reader. We find Samsung’s sensors to be dependable and quite speedy. Both phones also have a microSD expansion slot which is shared with the second SIM slot on the tray.
The Galaxy A54 uses Samsung’s own Exynos 1380 chip, while the Galaxy A34 has the Mediatek Dimensity 1080 inside. Both chips have 5G capability.
