Another highlight of these phones – at least going by the specs – is their screens, with the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G sporting a 6.4-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the Galaxy A34 5G ups the size to 6.6 inches (despite being cheaper) and otherwise has those same specs, making a bump up from 90Hz on last year's Beyond that, both phones have decently-large 5,000mAh batteries, with 25W charging, plus 5G, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, an IP67 rating for water resistance, 128GB or 256GB of storage, a microSD card slot, and stereo speakers. Differences come in their power though, with the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G packing an Exynos 1380 chipset (itself announced only a few weeks prior to the A54's unveiling) and 8GB of RAM, while the A34 5G has a slightly less powerful MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chipset, paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM. The Galaxy A54 5G also has a slightly more modern design, with a punch-hole camera, whereas the A34 5G has a notch or what Samsung calls an 'Infinity-U display'. Of course, you’ll also pay less for the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G, with that phone costing £349 for 128GB of storage or £399 for 256GB, while the Galaxy A54 5G costs £449 or £499 for 128GB and 256GB models, in the UK respectively. That marks a notable uptick in price year on year, compared to the Galaxy A33 and A53, which started at £329 and £399, each. The phones go on sale on April 25 in the region and Samsung will chuck in a pair of In Australia, both phones ...

Cons • Fingerprint reader not the best • No charger supplied • Slow charging Our Verdict The Galaxy A34 is a great alternative to an S23 if you’re on a budget and ticks a lot of boxes. Battery life is good, so if you can live without really fast charging (and a charger at all) it’s good value, and arguably better value than the Galaxy A54. Flagship phones are expensive, even on contract, but the good news is that there are cheaper options which are perfectly good. Samsung’s Galaxy A34 is a great example of this. It looks much like the flagship S23 – especially in the Awesome Lime colour on review here – but costs less than half the price at just £349. Design & build • Comes in lime, purple, silver and black • Plastic rear and frame • Stereo speakers The A34 is a large phone, something that seems to be the norm for most mid-range phones now. It’s a bit bigger than the It feels great in the hand despite all the plastic, and looks much more expensive than it really is. Much of the appeal comes from its similarity to the S23 and, at a glance, most people will assume you have Samsung’s latest and greatest model. Which is good if that sort of thing appeals to you. Jim Martin / Foundry Pleasingly, the black bezel around the screen is (almost) the same thickness on all sides and the selfie camera sits symmetrically in the centre. Although the frame has a curved profile, its edges feel a little sharp. The main criticism, however, is that the back panel can be depressed a little and...
