Samsung is upgrading their midrange offerings this year with the Galaxy A34 5G and A54 5G. Both are iterative updates from last year’s A series entries with new chipsets and design but some of the key specs remain the same including battery, charging speeds, and screens.

Both come with triple rear camera setups. The A34 5G has a 48MP f/1.8 main lens, an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide, and a 5MP f/2.4 macro while the A54 5G has the same macro lens but has a higher resolution 50MP f/1.8 primary shooter and 12MP f/2.2 ultrawide lens.
Android 13 with One UI 5.1 are installed on the two. The pair have 5,000mAh batteries that support 25W Fast Charging, which similar as the last generation. Both are also rated at IP67 to withstand dust and up to 1 meter of fresh water for up to 30 minutes.
