Samsung Galaxy A34 5G vs Samsung Galaxy S25 FE

Our Verdict: The Galaxy A34 5G and Galaxy S25 FE are both from the same brand, but the A34 5G is a mid-range phone and the S25 FE a flagship. The S25 FE leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the A34 5G's 48MP, and the S25 FE offers up to 512GB of storage versus 256GB on the A34 5G. The S25 FE is the lighter phone at 190g against 199g. For most people the A34 5G does the job for less, and the S25 FE isn't worth the premium here.

Buying outright, the A34 5G starts at £115 SIM-free.
