    For the past few phones I have bought it wasn't because the old phone was slow, but because software support ended. The a54 will get 4 years of software support whereas the older phones you recommended are on their last year or two

    A series was really cool in the begining, in 2016-2017. It was almost like flagships. My first
    acquaintance with Samsung phones start with A3 2017. It was small fast computer with good photos. A50 and a52 and A33 and A22 which I saw at my brother's and sisters are really midranges and haven't such a pleasant experience and design like A3 2017 has.
    There are such a great phones like S10e or S10 Lite with real flagship experience and design which cost less than recent year midrangers.

    Battery life combined with a micro SD card slot is what you're getting with this phone. Of course it's not as good as flagships performance wise, but the other phones that you mentioned aside from the s20 FE don't have it. My problem with the S20 FE is that the battery life was simply average and if you're getting a used or a refurb it's probably even worse than it was new.

    Probably a big reason is that a new midrange phone will be less troublesome in terms of battery life, software support and general use. So unless youre the odd gamer or enthusiasist who also doesnt just buy new top end phones by default you probably wont care about the performance differences.

    Very biased, no mention of Google 6a being buggy with a small battery, less bright screen and old refresh rate. We don't all buy phones for high level gaming, some of us work for a living and a mobile is a productivity toool, 128GB mobiles are hopeless for me 256GB still a compromise. An A54 offers SD card expansion so I would have to look at an S22 Ultra which very desireable but a whole new price level. The A54 offers a new 5000 mah battery, it uses the full version of OneUI and comes with 4 years worth of upgrades, Samsung warranty etc. Bixby is better than native Google routines. I rarely take photos in the dark, why would I? I currently have an S10+ as my backup phone, it's great but software support is maxed out, the battery in getting old and I need something with SD card support and it must be waterproof. The A54 looks a good buy.

  • @markfoundas6446
    @markfoundas6446 Před 11 měsíci +10

    Don’t forget you only get updates on the OS for 3 years from the introduction date of the phone, and security updates for one year after that. That is why you may not want to get a older flagship phone.

  • @MsSilentH
    @MsSilentH Před rokem +32

    I'd be curious what a good upgrade from an s10e would be nowadays. Even though I also find the phone to be amazing, I'm still shocked at how highly praised it is, and that people would consider upgrading to it NOW, so finding what would actually be a decent step up from it is hard! The phone is still really, really solid, but in combo with my lack of battery care knowledge and maybe just age, the battery definitely isn't working for me anymore, if I'm traveling, just having my train schedule up and occasionally looking at google maps, it will die in a few hours even on max power saving mode. I really just want a good camera upgrade mainly, and again, the ability to keep it for years and years. And maybe not a monster-sized phone either...

    I have the Samsung A 14 5G as a second mobile for an international trip. And I love it! My idea is to jump later to a flagship one, certainly to the next S24 ultra. It is just a matter of time. But the mobile is awesome, when you don´t compare it to any other. Surely, there is always a better one for everything. But, when you have something you get used to it and you don´t compare it to anything. I am in peace and satisfied with my decision of getting the A14 5G for now. It is a worth deal, specially for the price range and the awesome and unexpected great features for a budget mobile.

    Im probably biased but as someone who sold an s22 to move to the a54 due to how bad the standard s22 battery is i cant fault this device at all. Being an eu model with 8gb ram apart from wireless charging which i personally never used the a54 does everything my s22 could do. Older flagships with less upgrades, no warranty, smaller battery unless getting the ultra series of devices i dont understand why anyone would even look at buying the older flagships. The average consumer (me realising i am one) who realised i only use my phone's for the basics and media consumption wont ever need the best of the best. The a54 has the processing power and Ram to handle multiple tasks at once. Expandable storage. In all honesty if people are still buying flagship phones for tasks such as gamings they should just look at having a poco of Xiaomi phone with quick charge and better battery charging. The damage gaming does to the high discharge of the battery with regular charging is like burning money. And yes i do own a poco f4gt gaming phone with the battery technology to cope with high discharge and charge. I do highly recommend buying the a54 8gb ram model. Most tasks i do sit at the ram used at about 5gb and i do badics

    Main issue with A series is they degrade tremendously over time. They slow down and stutter less than a year in. The 5000mah battery performance is usually decent at the start and can get you through more than a day but 6 months after, you'll realised the battery can barely get you through a entire day of light use (no gaming or photography). It is also worth noting that OneUI on A & S series will have some slight variation. You're much better off buying an older generation S series that comes with better performance chipset and more premium haptics.

    The only good A serie I can remember is the a52s but unfortunately, you can't find it new nowadays unless you're lucky. The sd778 chip is still good for today. It was also the last A serie with a HEADPHONE JACK which was sad to see they leave out with new models. You can still get refurbished but when it comes to that, there are many other better in the price range. You can even get old flagships.

Yeah, I also have a Galaxy A72 and I love it, it's a good phone, but laggy... good for photos and videos, live streaming on tiktok, but there's no comparison to my S10 Lite or S21 Ultra. A friend of mine just bought himself a Galaxy A54 and I tested the cameras next to my S21 Ultra.... the difference is night and day! I don't play mobile games, so I don't care about that. the only area where a midrange can be better than a flagship is battery, even if it's a new or older one. Anyway, you are totally right, it's a much better deal to buy an older flagship, especially Samsung, than a new midranger! in fact I love my S10 Lite so much, that if I'd find a new one, I would buy it - battery, cameras, screen, signal, doesn't overheat.

      Get an S23+ on sale and trade in your S10 Lite. A54 SoC is DoA-no improvement at all compared to S10 Lite, not to mention Sammy has already abandoned Exynos on their S series. The 45W quick charging on your old phone is also axed to 25. As for the cameras, sure the IMX766 is big, but Samsung will optimise the sensor so horribly that it can't compete against S23/+. Besides, it's already in phones like OnePlus 10R and Nothing (1), both of which have more efficient SoCs than A54. Don't buy cameras of last year (or two when you consider that Find X3 and Pro from early 2021 have this sensor already) with a chip like a Snapdragon 810.
