Опубликовано: 27 июня, 2025

Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy M34 5G in India as a recent addition to its offerings priced below Rs. 20,000. Key features include a main camera with optical image stabilization that excels in low-light conditions, a vibrant display, and a substantial battery. The Galaxy M34 5G comes in two models: a 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant priced at Rs. 16,999, and an 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant for Rs. 18,999. As stated by Samsung, these are the introductory prices, inclusive of bank promotions. Let’s delve deeper into what this device offers.

The Samsung Galaxy M34 5G has a robust build, reminiscent of the Galaxy F54 5G. Nonetheless, its build quality gives it an elevated feel that could easily place it in a higher price bracket. The design of the camera module is akin to that found on the Galaxy F54 and even the Galaxy S23. Although its plastic construction makes it easy to grip, the device feels weighty due to its 6,000mAh battery. The power button houses the fingerprint reader, and a headphone jack is conveniently located at the bottom.

Powered by a Samsung Exynos 1280 chipset, the Galaxy M34 5G showcases a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen with full-HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung asserts that the battery can sustain usage for two full days on a single charge, with support for 25W fast charging when using a compatible charger.

Lastly, the Samsung Galaxy M34 5G runs on One UI 5.1 and is promised to receive up to four generations of software updates and five years of security patches. Such an extended commitment might attract many potential purchasers to this device.

While the Galaxy M34 5G might not be the most visually impressive smartphone in its category, alternatives like the new Realme Narzo 60 5G certainly present a more attractive design. However, its specifications are fairly robust, and the long-term software support is certainly a distinctive selling point. We will be assessing the Galaxy M34 5G over the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned for our comprehensive review.
