“At Samsung, we are continuously seeking ways to serve our customers in Southeast Asia better, and we were heartened by the overwhelmingly positive response during our first Super Brand Day with Shopee last year.  Catering to the needs of the growing pool of online-first customers, Samsung is thrilled to continue our partnership with Shopee, tapping on Shopee’s platform and technology, to present another round of Samsung Super Brand Day, where consumers can access our products with ease and convenience.

We hope our consumers will enjoy the more engaging experience on Shopee that we’ve worked hard to build together while treating themselves to bigger, better and even more exciting deals from us this July.” said Grace Yi, Regional Head of Online Business, Samsung Electronics, Southeast Asia and Oceania.

As content creation continues to soar, mobile devices have become an essential tool for today’s creators. Samsung recognizes this trend and introduces the Galaxy A34, a feature-packed smartphone designed to cater to the needs of content creators, especially those on the go.

Samsung Galaxy A34 5G and Galaxy A54 5G

Let’s see how this phone can empower content creators like us, providing the necessary tools to capture quality content while maintaining a seamless mobile experience.

Timeless design and immersive screen

The Samsung Galaxy A34 5G boasts an elegant and sleek design that’s comfortable to hold and visually appealing. Its slim profile with a classic Galaxy form factor and lightweight construction make it easy to carry around while its minimalist look could prove timeless.

We have the Awesome Graphite with us so it’s easy to blend in whatever we’re wearing. There’s also Awesome Lime, Awesome Silver, and Awesome Violet if you feel like going for more colors.

Holding it, the device fits comfortably in your hand, easily offering a secure grip while shooting photos or videos. It does have cornered edges, but the chassis itself has an outward curve so it’s easy and comfortable on the hands.

For the display department, the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G sports a large 6.6-inch Super AMOLED display, which simply provides a vibrant and immersive viewing experience. The Full HD+ resolution ensures crisp visuals, making it a pleasure to review and edit content directly on the device.

The display’s slim bezels and tiny punch-hole cutout contribute to an expansive screen-to-body ratio, so that you don’t feel limited when working on your projects. Whether previewing photos, editing videos, or engaging with followers on social media, the Galaxy A34’s display elevates the content creation experience to support whatever you might need.

Cameras for photo and video

The highlight of the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G lies in its camera capabilities, which cater specifically to content creators. The device features a versatile quad-camera setup, headlined by a high-resolution 48-megapixel primary lens. This camera delivers detailed image quality, capturing vivid details and vibrant colors, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Its additional 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens expands the field of view, enabling creators to capture pleasing landscapes and group shots. Moreover, a dedicated 5-megapixel macro lens allows for satisfactory close-up photography for those instances you want to capture details. With the combination of these lenses, content creators can easily explore different perspectives and materialize their visions better.

Samsung also includes a range of useful features specifically tailored for content creation, such as Pro mode, which allows manual control over camera settings for precise adjustments. For content creators who focus on video production, the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G offers capable video recording capabilities. It supports 4K (3840 x 2160) video recording, allowing users to capture their moments with great detail and clarity.

The device also features Super Steady mode, which uses electronic stabilization to minimize shakes and vibrations, resulting in smooth and professional-looking footage. With the Galaxy A34’s advanced video features, creators can confidently shoot on the go without compromising the quality of their content.

It even has Auto Frame that automatically frames the subject, which could be useful when you don’t have an extra person to man the camera. Although, of course, it has its limitations and doesn’t shoot on Log, for example, if you want more control over your footage in post processing.

Everyday performance

To support content creation demands like downloading large files or editing photos and videos on the go, the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G is equipped with a capable octa-core processor and ample 8GB of RAM.

This combination ensures smooth multitasking and efficient performance, allowing creators to seamlessly switch between resource-intensive apps. The device also offers generous internal storage of either 128GB or 256GB, which can be further expanded using a microSD card to provide more space to store large media files and applications.

Running on Samsung’s One UI based on the latest Android operating system, the Galaxy A34 offers a user-friendly and intuitive interface. One UI provides a clean and organized layout, making it easy for users to navigate through apps and settings. Additionally, the device supports Samsung DeX, enabling creators to connect their Galaxy A34 to a larger screen or monitor for a desktop-like experience while editing or presenting their content.

It’s an overall decent configuration of specs and features since creators can simply focus on their craft without having to worry about whether their device can handle the workload or not. In terms of connectivity, the Galaxy A34 offers 5G capabilities. This results to fast and stable internet speeds for seamless content uploading and sharing.

The Galaxy A34 houses a substantial 5,000mAh battery that provides all-day usage, even for content creators engaged in intensive tasks. This extended battery life allows creators to shoot, edit, and share their content without interruptions. Additionally, the device supports 25W fast charging, enabling quick replenishment of the battery when needed.

With a full battery in the morning, it was able to last until dinner time before we needed to charge it again. This was a whole day of shooting photos with occasional videos.
