Hello folks,

It’s Black Friday’s week and I want to buy a new smartphone to my mom. I can buy an A54 5G for ~299 € or an A34 5G for ~275 €. What do you suggest me to buy? I keep reading that the A34 CPU and overall speed are better than those in the A54.

Thanks in advance!

    I’d go A34. But I’d keep an eye on updates and security patches for her. 2-3 years and she’ll need another phone if she does any online shopping, banking or anything else that requires sensitive information. With the A series it’ll be important for her to reboot the phone weekly as well, even the S series gets a little wonky after a week.

      Bro this isnt 2017 no more. My a32 is perfectly fine you dont need to reset every week. Just buy the option with more Ram. They differ

        It’s also 2023 and your battery still needs to settle in for a week, and a few years ago the fan boys said “nah-ugh” It’s still a smart phone, it will still have bugs and glitches, all of which can be remedied by a reboot. Like I said even my S22 and S23 have hiccups. “I’m buying a phone for so and so.” Just warns me that, that someone may not grasp the concept of a smart phone beyond the one UI6 skin they see on the dialer and browser is all.

        It’s not to say the A is shit, it has it uses and functions, I just note the less obvious than the exynos chip and camera aren’t amazing, the software doesn’t get updated as often that’s all.
