The most notable highlight here perhaps is the 4 Major OS updates and 5 years of security patches. Commonly, M-series phones do not get this type of treatment and they are just stuck at 2 or 3 years update.

The features

This time, Samsung is stepping up by giving "flagship-like treatment" for an affordable mid-range device in terms of software support. 

Moving forward, Samsung didn't change much in design, the M34 looks simple like its predecessor. At the front, it still uses the Infinity-U notch on the display. Speaking of which it has 6.5-inch Super AMOLED with FHD+ resolution, 1000 nits max brightness, and 120Hz refresh rate.

Inside, it is powered by the 5nm Exynos 1280 8-core chip, with Mali-G68 GPU, 6GB/8GB RAM with 128GB expandable memory.

For battery, the phone features a 6,000mAh capacity and charges using a 25W adaptor and a USB-C cable.

The front and back view

For the camera, the phone uses 50MP primary sensor with OIS + 8MP ultra-wide angle camera + 2MP macro shooter + LED flash. On the selfie side, Samsung included a 13MP shooter.

Other features noted are a side-mounted fingerprint reader and speakers with Dolby Atmos support.

In terms of connectivity, it has 5G SA/NSA, Dual 4G VoLTE, WiFi 6 (2.4GHz/5GHz), Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, and dual SIM support.

For software, the phone runs Android 13 with One UI 5.1 skin out of the box.
