Hello, everyone.

I would like to share my thoughts on the A54 after 6 months of use.

Unfortunately, it's time to change my phone because the NVRAM is broken, and the service can't fix it. However, I don't blame Samsung for this, even though it wasn't me who caused it; it was the phone.

As for the exterior, the A54 looks beautiful. The entire phone cover is 10/10, and every detail is aesthetically pleasing. The edges around the screen are a little bigger, but they didn't bother me. The phone never crashed and worked very well (I always used a 120Hz refresh rate).

Regarding the disadvantages, I could give some examples. First, the battery, although great on paper, drained quickly (I don't play games, but my mobile data is always on). I was surprised at how quickly the larger battery, compared to my old Huawei P40 Lite, drained. Additionally, charging with the original Samsung charger that I bought separately (another disadvantage of having to buy a charger) takes about an hour and a half, which is bad because my phone rarely lasted a full day of use (note that I'm an average phone user). The third thing is the fingerprint reader, which is very bad. The cameras are good (both front and rear), which is a significant plus. Also, the screen is very good, and I often watched series on it.

I hope this helps you with your purchase.

        Anonymous, 03 Aug 2023I'm considering of buying this phone for my partner. H... moreId say yes just bought this phone, previously had a51 & its definitely a upgrade. Faster chip, bigger battery, faster charging, brighter screen, 51 doesnt have ip67 water & dust resistant rating like 54 & Android OS updates will stop at 13, only negative i see vs a51 is this one doesn't have a 3.5 mm headphone jack but that appears to be the norm nowdays.
        Apparently not so much of a upgrade over the a52 based on comments here. Wish i had known that before i bought it but considering i got it on sale for black friday at $139 (USD) I have no regrets thus far.

          Bought for $139 on a early black Friday deal, time will tell but so far seems like a solid midrange phone and pretty good deal at that price

              Anonymous, 13 Nov 2023good battery life and the only thing is that my a52 5g lite... moreThanks (though don't understand!). But I WOULD like to know where the power and volume buttons are placed on outside of phone?? And how's the colour in photos? (All my A21's have had appalling colour (lack of!) + dreadful white out (?) when videoing (eg.used to sing on stage - any lighting at all, and that's all you see...light! Nothing else! While those with iPhone, perfect vision!).
              My most important aspect is the button placement, and also quality of Audio? Can you help me find out please??

                whats endurance rating in battery test?

                  good battery life and the only thing is that my a52 5g literally melted off the glue in the back cover due to snapdragon heat lol...at least the exynos is still ok about this...

                          I have a model A54 (a546b) and it has a blurring defect when shooting at close range with the main camera. The s23 also has a similar defect in its camera. It is very problematic to photograph document text with uniform sharpness throughout the frame.

                                    Shid, 24 Sep 2023Definitely agree I have A52s love itthey're almost the same with regards to performance. advantage of a54 is it looks like more premium in design and more sexy.

                                        I am very confused between the two phones A73 & A54. I care about the battery, performance, and camera. I do not play heavy games, but I use the phone all day, so I have to worry about heat and lag.
