BatteryWe put the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G through our rigorous DXOMARK Camera test suite to measure its performance in photo, video, and zoom quality from an end-user perspective. This article breaks down how the device fared in a variety of tests and several common use cases and is intended to highlight the most important results of our testing with an extract of the captured data.
Overview
Key camera specifications:
- Primary: 48MP 1/2″ sensor, 0.8μm pixels, f/1.8 aperture lens, PDAF, OIS
- Ultra-wide: 8MP 1/4″ sensor, 1.12μm pixels, f/2.2 aperture lens.
- Macro : 5MP sensor, f/2.4 aperture lens.

Use cases & Conditions
Use case scores indicate the product performance in specific situations. They are not included in the overall score calculations.
Outdoor
Photos & videos shot in bright light conditions (≥1000 lux)
Indoor
Photos & videos shot in good lighting conditions (≥100lux)
Lowlight
Photos & videos shot in low lighting conditions (<100 lux)
Friends & Family
Portrait and group photo & videos
Pros
- Good exposure
- Fast and accurate autofocus in photo and video
- Effective video stabilization
Cons
- Limited dynamic range
- Noise under indoor conditions and in low light
- Ghosting and fusion artifacts in scenes with motion
The Samsung Galaxy A34 5G was capable of achieving good results in static scenes without too much contrast, making it a good option for landscapes and portraiture. In these kinds of non-demanding conditions, still images offered good exposure and nice detail, but our experts also noticed some image noise in the shadow areas and in blue skies. The autofocus was reactive and accurate in most situations. Video clips recorded with the Galaxy A34 5G were exposed well, with low noise levels. Effective video stabilization ensured smooth footage.
Image quality somewhat dropped in more difficult conditions, such as high-contrast scenes as well as under indoor lighting or in low light. Image detail was reduced while noise became more intrusive. Our testers also noticed some exposure and color instabilities across consecutive shots. Ghosting and fusion artifacts were visible in scenes with moving subjects.
Test summary
About DXOMARK Camera tests: DXOMARK’s Camera evaluations take place in laboratories and in real-world situations using a wide variety of subjects. The scores rely on objective tests for which the results are calculated directly by measurement software on our laboratory setups, and on perceptual tests in which a sophisticated set of metrics allow a panel of image experts to compare aspects of image quality that require human judgment. Testing a smartphone involves a team of engineers and technicians for about a week. Photo, Zoom, and Video quality are scored separately and then combined into an Overall score for comparison among the cameras in different devices.

The following section gathers key elements of DXOMARK’s exhaustive tests and analyses. Full performance evaluations are available upon request. Please contact us on how to receive a full report.

For scoring and analysis, DXOMARK engineers capture and evaluate more than 2,600 test images both in controlled lab environments and in outdoor, indoor and low-light natural scenes, using the camera’s default settings. The photo protocol is designed to take into account the main use cases and is based on typical shooting scenarios, such as portraits, family, and landscape photography. The evaluation is performed by visually inspecting images against a reference of natural scenes, and by running objective measurements on images of charts captured in the lab under different lighting conditions from 1 to 1,000+ lux and color temperatures from 2,300K to 6,500K.

DXOMARK engineers capture and evaluate over 400 test images in controlled lab environments and in outdoor, indoor, and low-light natural scenes, using the camera’s default settings and pinch zoom at various zoom factors from ultra wide to very long-range zoom. The evaluation is performed by visually inspecting the images against a reference of natural scenes, and by running objective measurements of chart mages captured in the lab under different conditions from 20 to 1000 lux and color temperatures from 2300K to 6500K.

DXOMARK engineers capture and evaluate more than 2.5 hours of video in controlled lab environments and in natural low-light, indoor and outdoor scenes, using the camera’s default settings. The evaluation consists of visually inspecting natural videos taken in various conditions and running objective measurements on videos of charts recorded in the lab under different conditions from 1 to 1000+ lux and color temperatures from 2,300K to 6,500K.
