Galaxy A34 SM-A346EZSCMEA (Awesome Silver, 8GB RAM, 128GB, 5G) Review – Middle East Version

Introduction

The Samsung Galaxy A34 SM-A346EZSCMEA, in its sleek Awesome Silver finish, has been my daily driver for the past few weeks. This Middle East version boasts 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, making it a compelling mid-range contender. This review delves into its performance, features, and overall user experience to help you decide if it’s the right phone for you.

Key Features

The A34 packs a punch in the features department. The vibrant 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate is a real treat for the eyes. The in-display fingerprint sensor is responsive and accurate, and the triple-camera setup, with its 48MP main sensor, captures impressive photos in various lighting conditions. The 5000mAh battery easily lasted me a full day, even with heavy usage. Android 13 provides a smooth and up-to-date user experience.

Performance & Battery Life

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor, the A34 handles everyday tasks with ease. Multitasking is smooth, and I experienced minimal lag during my testing. Gaming performance is also commendable; even demanding games ran smoothly at medium settings. The 5000mAh battery comfortably lasted a full day, even with extended use of social media, streaming, and gaming. Fast charging is also a welcome addition, significantly reducing charging time.

The phone’s responsiveness and performance in real-world tasks like web browsing, video streaming and photo editing made it a joy to use. It even performed well in more resource intensive applications.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Stunning display, long battery life, smooth performance, excellent camera quality for its price range, fast charging, elegant design.
  • Cons: The lack of expandable storage might be a concern for users who need extensive storage. Some users may find the stock Android version a little too minimal, but this is a matter of taste.

Final Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy A34 SM-A346EZSCMEA is an excellent mid-range smartphone that offers exceptional value for its price. The combination of a beautiful display, long-lasting battery, smooth performance, and a capable camera system makes it a strong contender in its class. While expandable storage would have been a nice addition, its overall performance outweighs this minor drawback. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Galaxy A34 to anyone seeking a reliable and feature-rich smartphone without breaking the bank.
