Samsung usually sets the price for its mid-range mobiles significantly higher than the competition. This time it's the other way round. However, you hardly have to accept any major compromises. With the Galaxy A34, Samsung offers an affordable mobile that delivers solid performance in all respects and also shines with a long update guarantee.

The best overall package under 300 euros is the Poco X5 Pro. However, this is not automatically the best choice for everyone. Samsung fans are well served by the A34, photo enthusiasts are recommended the Pixel 6a. iPhone fans will have to compromise or save up for something better...

The mobile phone offers a lot for little money, such as a robust housing and a bright display.

The Galaxy A34 has a large, very bright AMOLED display and also performed well in other respects. It is also waterproof - rare in this price range. The A54 is slightly better in terms of camera and speed, but given the price difference, the Galaxy A34 5G is currently the clear price tip in the A series.
