NeoTeo's verdict

Which of the two is the better buy

The Samsung Galaxy A34 is the most complete choice: its 120Hz display, MediaTek Dimensity 1080, and optical stabilization give it the lead. The Galaxy A15 5G is the middle option with Android 14 and UFS 2.2 storage, while the Galaxy A14 makes sense only if it costs less.

The Galaxy A34 and Galaxy A15 5G use Super AMOLED displays; the Galaxy A14 uses PLS LCD. The A34 reaches 120Hz versus 90Hz and 60Hz, and adds Wi-Fi 6, which the other two lack. AnTuTu results are 532,300, 364,663, and 201,500, respectively.

All three have 5,000 mAh batteries, but the A34 and A15 5G charge at 25W versus 15W for the A14. The A34 adds 4K video and optical image stabilization to its main camera; the A15 5G has a 1/2.55-inch main sensor, versus 1/2.75-inch on the A14 and 1/2.96-inch on the A34. The A15 5G starts with Android 14, while the other two use Android 13.
