There's been a slew of new smartphones launched this year competing around the RM1,500 price segment. Here's a quick breakdown of all the latest midrangers at this budget.
Thanks to inflation, it seems as though the better bang-for-buck midrange smartphones have risen in price from the RM1,000 mark to the RM1,500 price segment instead, especially if 5G connectivity is a concern. Since the start of the year though, there’s been a slew of new devices in this highly competitive price segment so if you’re planning to get one for yourself, you might be a little overwhelmed by all the choices available.
As such, we’ve taken a look at some of the best smartphones launched in 2023 that you can get with a budget of roughly RM1,500.First up here we have the Samsung Galaxy A34 which was launched by the Korean giant back in March. Available for, it’s a little over budget sure, but snatch it on sale and you can probably find one just under our budget today.
Featuring a large 6.6-inch, FHD+ Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy A34 is also capable of a 120Hz refresh rate with a peak brightness of 1,000nits. However, you do get the more old school tear drop notch here rather than a punch hole cut out up top. There’s also a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 over it for scratch resistance, coupled with an IP67 dust and water resistance rating.
Powering the Samsung Galaxy A34 meanwhile is a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 system-on-chip, mated to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It comes with Android 13 out of the box with OneUI 5.1 skinned over it. Perhaps the best part of the Galaxy A34 though compared to the rest of this list is that Samsung has guaranteed at least four major Android OS upgrades here with five years of security patches, meaning you could ostensibly use it till 2028 rolls around.
Elsewhere, Samsung has kitted out the Galaxy A34 with a triple rear camera consisting of a main 48MP, f/1.8 main camera, alongside an 8MP, f/2.2 ultrawide and a 5MP, f/2.4 macro lens. In that teardrop notch meanwhile you get a 13MP, f/2.2 front facing camera. There’s also a 5,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging, stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint sensor along with support for WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC and 5G.
