It’ll also come with 6GB of RAM if you go for the 128GB storage option that amount gets boosted to 8GB if you step up to the (more expensive) 256GB model. While the Galaxy A54 gets one of Samsung’s home-grown Exynos 1380 CPUs paired to 8GB of RAM, the A34 uses a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chip, which isn’t quite as beefy when it comes to performance. Internal hardware is where the two phones differ the most. Performance & software: pick your processor
#Takenote review full#
Going purely by what we could see onscreen, the main camera seemed to capture plenty of detail, but how it stacks up to similarly-priced rivals will have to wait until a full review. You can expect the same sort of image processing, though, meaning vibrant and dynamic shots that lean a little towards unnatural, compared to anything Apple or Google will produce. The camera app felt speedy enough to focus and save each shot, if not up to the same rapid standard as the S23 series. We weren’t able to take our test snaps away with us for analysis, and were confined to a demo area with bright overhead lighting, so can’t judge how each device copes at night or outdoors.
An auto night mode now kicks in when the ambient light sensor detects a lack of sunshine, and optical image stabilisation has been optimised to cut down on camera shake too. The A54’s sensors are physically larger than the ones seen on the outgoing A53, and they have larger pixels to boot, which should make all the difference in low light. Phone photographers would appear to be better served by the Galaxy A54, which has higher pixel counts for its main and ultrawide: 50MP and 12MP respectively, vs 48MP and 8MP in the A34. Cameras: three of a kindīoth phones have three rear camera lenses: one wide-angle, one ultrawide, and a macro. With volume kept to a minimum in order to avoid irritating the assembled group of journalists, we can’t pass judgment on the stereo speakers – but can guarantee you’ll want a pair of earphones for any critical listening. We certainly had no trouble seeing what was onscreen, even under bright studio lights, and an HDR trailer for The Flash popped with bright colours alongside deep and dark shadows. There aren’t too many mid-rangers that can claim the same, with many topping out at a dimmer 800 nits. Both promise a peak 1000 nits brightness when stepping outside, which should mean visibility is never an issue.
The Galaxy A34’s AMOLED panel now has the same 120Hz refresh rate as its bigger brother, which gives it an edge over the Google Pixel 6a and its 90Hz panel. Even small text was perfectly legible, and photos show plenty of resolved detail, as you’d expect from any Full HD+ phone. Whether you go for the smaller phone or prefer a larger display, you’ll be getting the same 2400×1080 screen resolution, which looked decently crisp during our hands-on session.
