However that's not the worst thing about that phone, the worst is the front, which is what you would look at the most. Bezels straight out of 2017-2018 and even then budget/entry level phones looked like that.

The A50 with a v/u notch has a much better screen-to-body ratio and is 4 generations old.

    justasmile, 24 Jun 2023The phones gonna lag few years after that year anyway.A phone that lags right now is going to be even worse after those few years than the phone that is smooth right now.

    With the release of the Poco F5 that is right now cheaper than the Galaxy A54 and has performance comparable to last year's 8+ Gen 1 flagship phones, I seriously doubt that anyone that cares about performance even a little bit would buy the A54. The Poco F5 scores nearly 2.5x more points in 3DMark Wildlife Extreme (a heavy graphics benchmark) than the A54 while being cheaper which is just ridiculous.

      justasmile, 24 Jun 2023The phones gonna lag few years after that year anyway.Better have it lag a few years in than day 1.

          just a smile, 23 Jun 2023And you're gonna get only 1 year software update.And a more powerful phone with an overall better experience and much less lag.

          Why care about software updates if the hardware can't handle it?

          So you would rather use a phone that lags all the time, but hey at least you are gonna get that Android 17 update? What's the point?

            just a smile, 23 Jun 2023And you're gonna get only 1 year software update.As someone who changes phones every 2-3 years maximum this isn't much of an issue for me, especially since new Android versions nowadays are simply reskins with minor tweaks here and there.

            Plus the restrictions on sideloading that Android 13 already put in place and which Android 14 will strenghten is a misguided move in my opinion.

              Anonymous, 20 Jun 2023Sounds like 4 Gen 2 will be worse than 4 Gen 1How?

                OpposedScroll75, 21 Jun 2023Definetly the A52s. Not even a fair comparisonAnd you're gonna get only 1 year software update.

Still performs like Day 1, I can still get 7 hours of SOT, MIUI is way more stable than it was a year ago and the cameras are still fine. Most of the issues with Xiaomi phones arise from the Redmi series and even then, they're rare.
