Geekbench or benchmark scores aside,the Dimensity 1080 in the A34 5G is well balanced overall, it generates less heat and more importantly it's "sustained performance" is superb. As a long time Samsung users and knowing how they tend to sometimes mess-up a device with their security and major software updates,I decided to stay on the software that came with the phone,haven't updated once,cuz from my last Samsung I really know what I'm in store for when I do...buh sincerely I was wishing for another dimensity powered A series so I could update frrom my A34 5G...ah well Galaxy A36 5G (if MediaTek or Snapdragon  7 series upwards) it is then !
