Who cares about wireless charging ive never used it
nerds whining about wireless charging as if this phone is flagship
@@tshireletsomokoenafr
I use wireless charging but it's not really a deal breaker for me on this phone. The 25 watt charging is more than enough for me as the 5000 mAh battery lasts above average.
Could care less about wireless charging...i bought this phone 3 days ago.. it's a fast, amazing phone..i like that it's plastic rather than glass, glass breaks to make u pay money to fix it..its a really cool phone..
Try it
The seven reasons you mentioned are exactly why this phone is considered a midrange phone/budget phone. I'm looking foward to try it and leave behind the very expensive top tier phones of Samsung that disappointed at some level.
To me, it literally keeps up with the flagship. Also you can add wireless charging to it.
I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S21 5g to this phone to get better battery life. Everything seems to be equivalent but the battery lasts all day and into the night. I'm happy with my choice of "stepping down" to midrange.
You're right. Some flagship bit disappointing me.
@GPDF .
do you know how long the updates will be supported for ? 👍
@@BigBoaby-sg1yo Esse texto eu peguei na internet. O A54 5G foi lançado em Março de 2023, então ele receberá atualizações até o ano de 2028. Em outro texto colocam uma data específica para suporte até dia 5 de Outubro de 2028.
"Em 2021, a Samsung anunciou que todos os novos telefones fabricados após 2019 veriam pelo menos três atualizações importantes e quatro anos de lançamentos de segurança. É por isso que o seu antigo Galaxy S10 não está mais recebendo atualizações. Então, em 2023, a empresa estendeu esse compromisso para cinco anos para a maioria dos telefones, incluindo os dobráveis. São quatro anos de lançamentos do Android e cinco anos de atualizações de segurança. Isso não se aplica apenas aos modelos principais, mas a muitos telefones de gama média, dispositivos Galaxy A, tablets e muito mais. Felizmente, a Samsung compartilhou uma lista exaustiva de suporte de segurança de dispositivos, onde você pode procurar seu modelo exato."
Kevin 7 reasons why to buy the 54a 5g
120 hertz refresh rate, amoled screen, waterproof and dustfree, gorilla glass 5, build quality, looks exactly like the S23 and Cameras and software are very good for a midrange phone and finally you get a lot for your buck (Price/quality wise this is at the moment the best midrange phone you can buy) No affiliation with Samsung.
It's not waterproof
It's water resistant
@me5425 those are the same thing it's ip68💀
@@GayFoxamewater resistant doesn't mean waterproof
@me5425 you do know that is the same thing right and even if they're different samsung literally put out a video putting the phone underwater and it still working
@@dripdemon9449 water resistant means resistance and not waterproof
1 - wireless charging is a feature mainly for the S series not A series
2 - most phones of the recent generations now a days are moving off earphone Jack's to improve the quality and also to multi purpose the charging area of the phone
3 - u said ur self the Samsung dex is for the more premium devices. This is supposed to be a high end spec for a MID Range phone. So the debate on that one is pointless.
4 - all phones of Samsung now especially the S series no longer give an adaptor. My the s22 ultra ITSELF a high end flagship phone doesn't come with an adaptor.
5 - now I can agree the processor isn't fantastic, but for an A series it's pretty darn decent. But that's what's supposed to keep a decent gap between the price and quality of the S series and A series. A high end processor (also a good zoom in camera, the build and software policy.)
6 - bro it's literally called an S pen. For S series. No A series phone has an S pen. And they shouldn't.
7 - this is literally the most durable A series phone. Made out of full on gorilla glass. It has almost the exact same build of the s23. And that's a huge deal.
Let evaluate this, a mid range phone for 400+ bucks that has half the attributes of an S series phone. Hot deal if u ask me.
Forget the features for a second. Interms of specs it's a full on average S series phone with just an high end Mid range processor.
Well said.
Agree 💯%
Thanks for d comment. Agreed 😊
👏 well said
This deserves more likes than the OP's absolute flop of a video
A54 is a midrange phone and not a flagship.
That's not the only reason...I have the a52 5g and it shits all over this phone. And not everyone wants to spend 1000 dollars on a phone...I just spent over 900 for a clutch for my car and shit for my bike...because my car and my bike are WAY more fun than a phone lol
@@XeroFailGames this phone is like 350$ and the a52 is plastic still lol

Kevin, you just gave a lot of people some reason to whine about nothing.
True. He's a person hateful of the device. And it seems he doesn't really know what he's talking about for a budget mid-ranger. Content sucks. But hey, I commented so yeah, engagement, engagement, engagement!
Hey balla.. Kevin is right
cry more
I just purchased my Samsung Galaxy A 54 5G to replace my 2021 Moto g power today. I was looking at the Galaxy S series and said:
1. Why would I need all these features.
2. Why would I pay $700.00 or more.
I know I will be happy with this phone and the customization's I can do are going to be great for a different look every 6 months once a year.
Not even. Why pay more than a couple hundred bucks for a phone? I see tons of people buying high end phones to worry about split second phone speeds, etc... just admit you got it as a status symbol.
Best camera? Not vs actual cam gear.
best screen? Use a laptop or Tv instead.
Best power? Use a console or PC.
Ppl really turn a internet connecting telephone into a whole lifestyle smh...
This is the most crazy review, this phone is better then any phone I have used before, get this with a screen cover and a silicone cover you will never Crack it
You need everything in a budget phone 😀
I gave up on expensive phones about 3 years ago because they're a waste of money.
I recently bought this phone and it is excellent. Everything you mentioned is exactly why I couldn't care less about upgrading to a twat-phone.
I bought a new phone 3 yrs ago, and it was SO important to have a 5G. Guess what; Have never been a place with 5G, and 4G is more than good enough anyway
The 5G mainly indicates that this is the version with antennas build in, so u can actually use a sim card with it. There is only one other version called "Wi-Fi" and that one has no Sim card slot nor any antennas.
Samsung just prefers to say 5G to market that it's compatible with 5G
Still better than iphone
1. Not many people use Wireless Charging
2. Why you need Headphone Jack if Samsung is giving Buds 2 with the purchase of the A54
3. Samsung Dex, never heard of it and not interested.
4. I'm not really mad at that, since they send a cable with two USB-C entrances and not a USB 2.0 with a Type C, plus, Samsung has many adapter models you can choose from, that are actually cheap.
5. The processor is not that bad, it's a phone for daily use, not gaming competitions.
6. Benchmark is low because it got launched, not even a month ago.
7. You really said "S Pen"?💀💀💀
8. & 9. I hope you stop crying about a A series...
I like a fm radio on my phone. As far a I know headphone jack is required.
I can't believe he mentioned the S pin 😂😂😂. Like, what? Are you for real l? On an A series phone?
Dude. Thank you for this list. Didn't even have to watch this video.
True. He's a person hateful of the device. And it seems he doesn't really know what he's talking about for a budget mid-ranger. Content sucks. But hey, I commented so yeah, engagement, engagement, engagement!
Why not just keep headphone jack and put the nonsense fight away? ALL my headphones have 3.5mm jack
I have this phone and I can tell you that I am very satisfied. These seven reasons are totally irrelevant to me (I start with myself). You won't find a better phone for this money, after all, it's a mid-range phone and not an S series. Still, it's stupid to compare an A category phone with the S series.
Why does everybody hate on the Exynos 1380 so much? There's literally no lag whatsoever. Even with games in the background.
Dude, you’re looking at this wrong. You can’t compare it to things that are more expensive. They’re in a different class. You can only compare it to similar items.
It's 2023! Everyone, including you, already has quite a few wall adapters to charge everything, and at least as many cables laying around. Would you rather they added a 25W block to the package when you don't need one and then charge more for the phone?
It doesnt matter i got one as a gift for a loved one
My reason for not switching from my a53 to a54 is that my a53 is working fine and I am happy with it. I paid $200. The a54 cost more. I don’t need an expensive cell phone with a number features that are essential or the phone doesn’t work. If I lose my a53 I wouldn’t mind getting the a54.
You shouldn't consider switching in just 1 year anyway
Never buy a Samsung phone with an Exynos chip in it, you're gonna come to regret it very fast. A34 blows this phone out of the water and so much of it is down to rocking a chip that's actually optimized rather than the hot mess of an Exynos that craps itself if you try to run two apps at the same time.
ive been using the A54 and its been no problems at all. horrible take lol
Here in BR it comes with charger and cable ! With all respect this phone for the price is 10 out of 10 and few things u mention are really personal related ! I never used wireless charger ! I see this phone deserves 7 reasons to buy it !
I've had this phone for many months no issues at all with performance or lag
Some people are just too picky.
Fr
I have the A54 5g and it's just as good as the S series
On my A54, I can run Crossout, COD, PUBG, Minecraft, Modern Warships and more, all at the full graphics setting at between 30-60 fps. I never drop under 30. That's pretty damn good.
Does it overheat
It gets warm, yes, but it does not overheat.
I love this phone .
Not having a headphone jack or wall adapter are just moots point since they're no longer available even on high tier smartphones.
I'm using samsung A54 , but my question is .! why its quikly hot
Clean the ram on your phone.
Is it robust enough to handle both Google maps and streaming Apple music via the car's Android Auto feature? Thanks.
I want to get a stylus pen for the pro video mode zoom in and zoom out, is it possible to get a cheap stylus pen that would work with the A54 ?
So I've had my s23 junior for almost a month now came from the a23 5g first of all that phone was horrible with that being said I was really upset because I wanted the s21 fe couldn't find a new one so I got this and this has by far been my favorite phone ever i truly mean that Samsung use to be my fav then they feel off so i went with lg then the iphone anywho long story short i have absolutely been blown away from the display down to the sim card tray only thing i hate is no headphone jack with that being said of the 5 things that matter build display performance battery camera the only real thing that could use some improvement is the performance and im not saying it because it's slow or anything of that nature it just could bold well with a little boost aside from that everything else is world class frfr i just dont understand why this phone is getting bashed its so bizarre 8.5 outta 10 only because the performance just fell a little short but its still awesome 😎 JUST KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A MIDRANGE PHONE 🤳🏿
Please a link for the orange and yellow wallpaper please.
I have this phone it's good but it's annoying that it doesn't let me watch CZcams videos in 4K at 60fps when I click 4k 60fps it puts 480p
Does the samsung a54 drain fast and overheat if ur playing games eirectly from samsung??
One of the worst phones I had in my life. Slow, heat a lot, low battery life, problems with BT connection, bad camera, even for a mid-range phone it disappoints. It is so bad that it made me think to return to iPhone after years with android...really a bad choice.
Just bought this for $229 and I love it, its simply to use and has all the features I want. If I wanted the features of a high end $1200 phone I would have bought one.... just my opinion Howver the fast charging info was helpful, I ordered charger right after viewing this video
What Samsung may not realize is that when headphone jacks aren't on their devices, android users can buy cheap apple dongles to listen to their videos using wired earbuds. There's Apple products that can be used with android. Bluetooth and Smart Switch can also do data transfer. People can transfer information to SD cards and use the same card on multiple android devices.
my biggest issue with samsung is that they refuse to use aptx codec as well as most bluetooth codecs so samsung users are forced to buy galaxy buds to listen to audio
literally thats the only main gripe i have with samsung, the fact they had the audacity to remove the headphone jack while not putting those better bluetooth codecs is absurd
@@lol-ivan7500 I've used soooo many different wireless earbuds and headphones with my samsung, none from samsung themselves...
@@Blackfatrat you’re stuck in aac and sbc codecs which are not really that pleasant
if you really don’t care about latency and bitrate (hi-res audio) i guess its fine
@@lol-ivan7500 that is not true
I'm not going to avoid the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G. That's my next upgrade phone I'm going to buy in a couple of months around my birthday and christmas. As of now, I'm using my Samsung Galaxy A32 5G. I don't care about all of those features or wireless charging, or a headphone jack. I don't use headphones anymore. Headphones are outdated for me. It has all the features I need into the phone for the price. It still has a great camera, 128 GB of storage. And I can increase memory by using an SD card. And I think it's a great phone overall. And it's cheaper too. So why should I avoid it!?
My only complaints with this phone is the glass back and the design of the cameras. Glass devices are always fragile so a case is nearly mandatory. And the cameras themselves are find but man do they protrude out of the back of the phone. (Like a giant Lego piece) Which makes some cases a bit weak as they have to compensate. Thankfully Supcase didn't disappoint and worked around it.
But I will say don't buy this phone at full price. It's worth no where near $450 and has already creeped down to $350 and deals with carriers make it even cheaper.
it is the best mid range phone with 8 g ram and 265 storage is 380 euros besides all features except processor is not important , the gaming performance of this phone is really good
I just found one really good reason to buy one. $139 at walmart.
Tested my S21 Ultra on Geekbench 6 and it got 1497 Single Core Score and 3342 Multi Core Score which is still better than the A54 even though the A54 is considered the best mid range phones from Samsung and its a couple of years newer than the S21 Ultra.
Its constantly buffering a 1440 yt video. Its not yt or the nets fault. The i phone next to me also on tmobile is not having any buffering
You need to clean the ram on your phone. Go to settings then select device care then click on memory then press clean don't worry you will not delete anything.
Wich phone should i get for every day use and gaming a54 5g or a34 5g
Wish you reviewed Cameras' quality, and the Sound, and charging time
im saving up money to get this phone ❤
I have this mobile and I have problems with instagram, I don't see my messages when I open my instagram, I already deleted it and reinstalled it but it is still not solved? anyone have a tip please...
the performance of this phone is double of what my current one is. I have the moto g stylus 5g 2022 and i got a single core of 622 and multi core of 1928
I dont know; but in this day and age, budget, Android 13 and 4 years of updates is what sold me. I can overlook the rest of what was mentioned.
Don't forget five years of security
if these are your reasons not to buy it, then people should for sure buy it lmfao
I have bought the A54 5G with 8GB ram and 256 storage free from all operators’ I don’t know any phone for 499 euros that has wireless charging and can’t understand why would you want a head phone jack and how many phones came with a charger nothing stopping you using a old USB-A charger and let’s not forget that it supports SD expandable storage .. personally, I love the phone and it works perfect
Does it overheat
downsides of glass back on midrange phones no wireless charging and you will be putting on a case anyway
The only thing that I care about which I wish it had is RAW camera capability. Not having it, that is...petty of Samsung.
They sell a kit for wireless charger if u want it
Plastic band is better than metal because it won't bend. I wish the back was plastic because it's easy to break the back if you drop it.
Thank you!

Good review! I think you should update your title to:
7 reasons not-unless...
Stop comparing it to a flafship phone when its not. Obviously its not going to have all the same features, its about a third of the price. For the price its a great phone that can handle almost all the jobs that people are going to throw at it.
Wireless charger? I didn't get with my phone any kind charger, just some cable that is not a regular USB cable.
Is there going to be an A74?
LG velvet has a headphone jack. =/ I just want a newer LG. Petition for them to make phones again! 😊
My big problem with this is shooting video. When I zoom. While recording, the sound skips. It's so bad
You won't find wireless charging on any phone in this price segment. Having said that, considering that it doesn't include a charger they should have spent the extra $1 to add wireless charging and set themselves apart from the pack.
The biggest advantage buying Samsung is: Support and Accessories. Most other phones have neither and it's frustrating.
Wireless charging heats up the phone quite a bit. That's very unhealthy for the device. It shortens the lifespan of the battery.
why complain about no headphone jack when iphones dont have them either for longer, and also i have a 25 watt wall adapter
If you get the Samsung galaxy A51 5G you get an Aluminium body, plus I've been reading A54 can have rebooting issues, it reboots by itself. A51 5G is a solid phone and is getting Android 13 woohoo. Great phone A51 5G with only one complaint from me, no radio chip 😮
Never paid more than $600 for a phone and I'm fine with that.
You are just listing the features that separate the midrange phones from the flagships. Anyone who has a brain can compare a A54 vs. an S23 and decide which fits their needs. Regarding the lack of headphones jack-BFD. Flagships designed to he purchased and used in the US also don't have headphone jacks. I flipped to BT IEM and over the ear cans with AptX and higher codecs years ago.
Snapdragon 665 vs Exynose Question If I upgrade to the 54 5G will it run better than my current phone, I use my phone a decent amount for content creation will this phone be better than my current device? thanks keep up the great content.
The A54 has an Exynos 1380, depends on what phone you have. Maybe it’s better
Exynos 1380 >> Sd 665
Run GeekBench on your current phone and compare it to the published results for the A54,
The sd665 is a way older chip so of course the exynos 1380 would outperform it. You can think of the 1380 more closer to sd778.
The most honest references on CZcams, thank you, subscribed❤
Not one deal breaker. This ph is a great value/entry level option, end of story.
Who would have thought that the phone store sells c type to c type wall adapters........
I've just bought it and I'm going to turn it back. I don't use very specialized function, I don't need mini jack or wireless charging, but! It heats after 10 minutes scrolling Facebook and "fast" charging is veeeery slow. My very budget Realme does it better in both options. Very disappointed.
What would you guys say is the best midrange samsung phone on like the camera
A34
The only downside I see on the Samsung Galaxy a54 5G is that the Display screen only last up to 10 minutes and not longer than that.
I have an a54 5g and I use a tiny adapter on it and I wireless charge it everyday
I feel like we're nit picking here and there is no actual reasons no chips discriptuon no framerating no memory or rom conparision no glass discription no cpu discription its not really a rating more like a misleading advertisment for this specific product
You can add wireless charging to it. No one's going to have a headphone jack Bluetooth.. NO SAMSUNG comes with wall adapter. Don't need to plug the phone into the TV, I'm literally mirroring my screen right now.. Bro, phone is fast charging right now too. This phone keeps right up with flagship. I feel you should maybe spend some time with the phone. Can't even listen anymore. 😂
3 reasons to avoid this phone.
1. No Samsung Wallet.
2. The sim 2 slot takes up the SD card space.
3. The stereo speakers could be louder. Even the A52s has better speakers.
The A54 has Superfast charging, which is faster than fast charging. The glass is GorillaGlass. I would still recommend case on any phone.
The cost of 25 watt chargers with USB-C is minimal.
You know people like to whine over nothing?
@@joedyke8424 See the remark about bezels above.
Did you say back made of GLASS?
It's 2023. Buy some damn Bluetooth headphones!
Feels like I scammed myself by buying this. Usually the flagship galaxy s whatever is 800-900, I buy it and trade in my last year model galaxy s, pay about $400-$500 a year for having the new phone. I traded my s22 for this purely for battery life, paid $130. I check the trade in value of the a53 towards the s23 and its $50. Which means I'll be paying $400 for next year's a55, or $850 for the s24. Seems like I'm ending up paying the same amount of money in the long run even though I got the half price phone
This is not a flagship, but a mid-range and no headjack dont have the new phones too
Watching on my a54 right now and this is the dumbest shit reasons. Its a effing midrange phone, also, its 25 watt charger is enough to get its juice up. Headphone jack is not a thing now. I don't even have any wired headsets, only wireless ones. So these reasons are not that big deal to begin with.
Stop comparing things to "top teir" phones, plus people rather not pay more than twice the price for these "features"
I really do not understand the comments here where people are hating on the importance on the mentioned facts. As he correctly mentions in the video that you have to think for yourself how much this missing features matter for you.
It would have been helpful if the alternatives would have been mentioned all the way. So how much a 25W fast charging brick costs with the mentioned fast charging to compensate for the lacking.
Amazing and very helpful video. Interesting that my S7 which is 7 years old has fast charging but I didnt really use it.
That may be, but he's comparing features of like $1000 devices (aside from the the G-Stylus) to a phone that's what, 1/4 - 1/2 the price? Of course it's not gonna have those features. I just wanted to scream, "No $#!&, Sherlock!" at the screen every time he mentioned a feature this lacked that a $1000+ phone had.
@@ChozoSR388 lmao 😂
The Exynos inside this phone is equal to Snapdragon 778G, which is great performance.
I am making a huge upgrade going from the a12 to the a54 if I could handle life with the a12 do you really think I need a flagship phone... nah I'll just spend that extra cash at the gas pump and grocery store.
Dex mode working?
With this phone?
The only reason I'm avoiding it it's because of the bezels, I'm waiting for the A55, my A52 it's still working like day one
What bezels? A little edge you mean? Clearly you don't need a new phone if that's your biggest concern... just save your money. A52 and A55 is still splitting hairs in a budget broke category...
My phone got wireless charging but never bother use it even I have the wireless charger pad
There is only one reason you dont have to buy this is if you can afford the expensive one
That is false the A54 does come with a 30 watt wall adapter. I got one today and it has a wall adapter in the box. He is giving false information.
i just dont like how far the cameras poke out
I miss your a20 videos :)
I just bought mine last week and its honestly better than some of the flagship phones out there. You get what you pay for, but if you want all the features that you mentioned the A54 doesn't have, the making of this video is pointless....
My a54 wants me to trim all videos requardless of size.Could be 1 second and it still wants me to trim.Any ideas?
