Priced at Rs 18,999, the Samsung Galaxy M34 5G is an excellent smartphone which comes with a 6.5-inch Super display. The screen has a 120Hz refresh rate. The device ships with an octa-core Exynos 1280 SoC which can handle all the basic tasks. The smartphone boots Android 13 out of the box, and it is promised to receive 4 years of Android OS updates and 5 years of security patches. The device packs a 6,000mAh battery. However, it only supports 25W fast charging, and the charger doesn't come included in the box. Overall, the Galaxy M34 5G is a good smartphone, considering that you get a good battery life, AMOLED display, and it's also going to receive four years of Android OS updates.

The Galaxy A15 5G would make sense for those who are brand loyalists and prefer and cleaner UI. It comes with a 5,000mAh battery, which offers a solid full-day usage or even more, and can be charged via 25W fast charging, which is good. In terms of camera, users get a 50MP primary rear camera coupled with a macro lens. The picture quality is decent in the day, but if a higher-resolution camera is your priority, you may want to look elsewhere.
The MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ under its hood offers modest performance, and a mid-tier processor on a smartphone is surprising given the SoC can be seen on devices like Xiaomi Redmi 13C 5G, Poco M6 5G, Realme 11x 5G, and more that cost between Rs 10,000-Rs 15,000. While its AMOLED display is respectable, with a FHD+ resolution, its refresh rate of 90Hz may not sit well with everyone.
