Samsung Galaxy A Series – A54 5G and A34 5G

Posted on by

A study by Adoozy Power* has revealed that young South Africans aged between 18 and 26 years check their mobile phones almost 30 times an hour. It says they spend a quarter of their lives on their phones daily. For anyone to spend that much time on their phone, it is only fair that they, at the very least, enjoy the experience.

The Adoozy Power study shows that a mobile phone is one of the most important things for an average young person. If you asked any random youth what items they would save first if their house caught fire, many of them would name their mobile phone high up on that list. Being this devoted to their handheld devices means the youth would understandably want only the best devices to be able to get the best experience.

One of the finest Samsung Galaxy innovations, the Galaxy A Series, offers much of what young people need in a phone, from awesome features that allow them to unleash their unfiltered creativity to powerful and reliable tech that’s available every day.
