  • Reviewing the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, a mid-range smartphone and Pixel 6a rival boasting an upgraded 50MP camera and fresh Exynos 1380 performance. The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G costs from £449 in the UK and this OneUI 5.1 phone is a worthy successor to the A53, especially for gaming.
    Grab your very own Samsung A54 right here: howl.me/cjyu183v2dJ
    While last year's Galaxy A53 smartphone was a let-down, this 2023 update makes amends with a redesigned Exynos 1380 chipset. Genshin Impact has been quite stable this week on the Galaxy A54, even when pushed up to medium detail settings, with only the occasional drop in frame rate.
    Battery life is good enough for over six hours of screen-on time per charge, even with lots of audio streaming in the BG. Sadly the Samsung Galaxy A54 peaks at 25W wired charging and there's no wireless charging (check out the Nothing Phone 1 if that's a deal breaker).
    As for that camera, well, the Galaxy A54 5G serves up a primary 50MP sensor that does a great job in most conditions, although moving subjects can pose a problem as shutter speed isn't the fastest. All the same, even in low light you can get some quite sharp and bright photos.
    So are you tempted by the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, or are you already using it? Let us know your verdict below!

    I just got the A54 after having the dinosaur J7 Crown for 6 years. To me it's a major upgrade, the phone is pretty quick and battery life is pretty premium. Overall I'm satisfied with it and hopefully will last me as long as the J7 i had.

    Exynos 1380 when comes to game is that this chip is using the Mali G68 which can be found in Mediatek 1080 which the A34 is using. If only they went ahead and uses a more powerful GPU like the Dimensity 7200 is using it would have been great

The only options now are "Glympse", "Places" , "Replies", and a couple of others. How do you retrieve that blue-colored Search button that was originally in there?

    I've had the A52 5g for a couple of years now which has been absolutely fine for me and I am due an upgrade now on my contract. My slight concern is how hot you said it felt after some general use. It's also a shame that they got rid of the headphone jack socket.. yes, I'm old school and actually use wired headphones on my A52 from time to time.

    • @liamsmyth7594

      I wouldn't bother, battery life is crap coming from the A52.I can barely get a full day out of the A54 where as the A52 was nearly a couple of days even after 2 years of use.

    • @edturner9670
      @edturner9670 Před rokem +1

      @liamsmyth7594 Thanks for the info. Yep, a big downgrade on the battery life would be a major annoyance despite any other bells and whistles it has over the A52 5g if that's the case.
      I decided to go SIM only for the next year on my A52. I'll think about upgrading after that but until then, my phone does absolutely everything I need without any issues.

    Coming from the A53, the difference between that phone and the A54 is day & night! The A54 feels premium in my hand and the overall user experience as well! I have had the phone since 7 April and have not experienced any stutters or lags thus far. The camera snapper is way faster than the one on the A53 and even though both phones have 120hz refresh rate, the A54 just feels way smoother. I was disappointed in the A53 after an hour of opening it up but with the A54, I am very happy! I got the Lime colour and Samsung's clear case and the phone looks amazing!

    Got the A52 5g two years ago. It was a cheap phone with a high refresh rate. However, you could really tell it was a mid range phone when I would occasionally use my S10 plus from 2019. I'm starting to prefer spending a lot of money on a premium S23 ultra that will stay fast for a few years over a mid range that shows its age after a year.

    Got this phone with 256GB for my father coming from an old Honor 9 Lite 64GB. The main reasons were 5 years of updates keeping the required personal support for the then next phone low. Another reason was the support for two physical SIM cards, so my work with managing to switch to one eSIM was also non-existent. Apart from these two things all other stuff was also good or good enough and it fits my use case perfectly.

    Bought an A54 for 350€ in monthly payments and, for that price, I'm pretty happy with it. Coming from a Redmi Note 10 Pro, the samsung sure feels faster and snappier. Portrait shots are great, and the software experience as been good. I mostly consume media, and don't play heavy games, so, in that regard, I'm pretty happy with it. The display is great and the speakers sound good. Battery is good to. The biggest con for me is the lack of the 3.5mm jack and not having a power brick in the box. Had to buy a new power supply and a sound dongle. But overall, a good all-round smartphone.

      Does the a54 5g also charge fast? as far as I know it has 25w charging, while the Redmi Note 10 pro has 33w, it has both 120hz and amoled display... can you tell the difference between the smoothness and clarity of the display of a54 5g vs the Note 10 Pro?

    Exynos 1380 that is barely on par with the SD 778G that is already two years old. Mid range phones this year are going to be coming with SD 7+ Gen 2 or Dimensity 8000+ chips which obliterate it. The Exynos ain't a bad chip, but in 2023 and the price you're paying, you're getting shafted.

    Elsewhere I've already written too much about my switch from the S20 5G to the A54 5G. So here after almost 3 weeks of intensive use: for what little the S23+ is actually better in everyday life, the price difference is hardly justified. Because the camera there is a bit better, but that hardly plays a role in everyday life. Their processor is much faster, but here too it is mainly the loading times, while there are no significant differences when playing, streaming or even surfing. And if the application does take 1/2 a second longer to start, who cares? In contrast, it really has EVERYTHING on board: 120Hz adaptive, 5G, eSim/Dualsim PLUS memory card extension, the same OneUI 5.1, a good camera & an excellent display with 403ppi & over 1000nits, a large battery & 5 years of support. And even the quality is good this year with Gorilla Glass front & back. So what's really missing? Samsung-Dex & USB-C 3.x, therefore no HDMI, 4K 60fps support including digital image stabilization (but it's included with 1080p - sufficient for everyday use). Yes, there are faster smartphones, but it's the overall package that counts & the A54 is pretty much alone with all its advantages. An S23+ is more than twice as expensive, but not even twice as good.

      ​@@user-bc4nc4uw8j The S21 fe (like the S23+) is superior to the A54 in many areas. But: it's already 1 year old, so it will get a maximum of 3 more updates. It is currently a bit more expensive than the A54, and the memory card extension is missing. For me it would have been a better alternative, but I depend on the combination of eSim/Dualsim & memory card. And the S-Class last had something like that with the S20. Very unfortunate..
      But it also applies to the S21 fe that you will only need the differences in everyday life very rarely. Ultimately, it depends on the owner's preferences.

      But to your question:
      it is clear to everyone that the Exynos processors are weaker than the Snapdragons. But my old S20 5G also had the Exynos - back then the 990s. Yes, it was also slower than the S20 in the USA. But in everyday life the S20 was fast, very fast in fact. And it's similar with the A54. The 1380 is a clear improvement over the 1280. And the coordination of Samsung's hardware and software is also completely ok with the A54. So no, I have absolutely nothing wrong with the 1380.
      The battery in the A54 is really good & the smartphone easily lasts me throughout the day - but since charging would take longer from almost 0 to 100%, I charge it at about 35% at the latest, then I'm somewhere after half an hour between 75 and 80%. I've never had the battery really empty in the 3 weeks during the day, although I'm currently using the smartphone intensively for almost 7 hours a day. So in that sense, the A54 is a very good smartphone.

      Yeah that's my thoughts, I can easily afford either but for my uses the a54 should be plenty. I play a few games and watch CZcams, TikTok, and Facebook. Plus I'm not sure about get a $500+ phone since I use unlocked phones without insurance.

    i ve been having this phone for almost 4 weeks..coming from a50(which is still good, still fast, i wanted to keep it for another year but my mom wanted it). i absolutely love it. it is sometimes a little laggy in some apps but i think with more updates this will be fast enough for a normal user (i don t do gaming). i wanted to stick to samsung because i was impressed by my a50, i never really felt like i needed an upgrade, but i just wanted a newer phone. cameras are the best in natural lighting, usually outside it captures the most beautiful details. front camera also good but i don t really like the hdr.this is my 3rd samsung phone, and i absolutely love the ui. i know that at this price i can get a better cpu,but there is just something about samsung phones thag give me confort. maybe my second choice would've been xiaomi, but i don t really like their ui.

      Planning on switching from Realme. My current phone is giving me a headache by giving me tons of bloatware. Not a gamer you can say but I do play online games (sometimes). The question is, can this phone run a game to its max graphics? Like Pokemon Go and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang?

      It's really a tough decision when you hate the xiaomi ui but would have to compromise a bit on the performance with a samsung phone. I'm still undecided as to whether my next phone will be a samsung, oneplus or a xiaomi midranger. I wish we had pixel phones in my country.

      You won't belive me when i say this, i brought A50 4 years ago when it was first launched in 2019 but now i have S23 ultra also, but my brain and heart never let me get rid of A50. I can safely say, A50 is one of the GOATS in mobile world.

    Got this phone - great upgrade from my Motorola G7 power. Battery life not as good but it's a different beast. Not dropped it into the toilet yet but sure it will come out smelling of.... something 😉. Would agree with review. 256G version is the one to go for if you want years of fun...but is it worth £500?? Maybe with the earbuds. They were great 👍
