          Phantom Ensemble, 18 Mar 2023Imagine the A54 with 778G+ It would sell out quickMan yes but for 400 or 450. Since it costs 500 and 550 maybe with 8 gen 1 othervise its pass.

                  It's a bit unfair using the euro prices and then compare them with Chinese phones. In the markets where the A series are competing fiercely, even the A54 is more around $400 for the 256GB model. $400 for an IP67 phone with 120Hz AMOLED, premium build with glass back, and software support as long as the Galaxy S flagships is actually quite attractive.

                              Definitely not for me. A52s 5G with Snapdragon 778G is still more than capable for everyday use. Samsung even used that same chipset for the XCover6 Pro/Tab Active4 Pro and give DeX. Also, the A52s 5G still got headphone jack and it's still useful.

                                  they did not state that the A34 5G and A54 5G have 4 Android OS updates and 5 yrs security patch updates while the competition can barely offer 3 yrs security patch updates and 2 Android OS updates at most.

I'll probably get it with contract which is kinda cheaper option for me. This is why i always don't buy phones when they're just released, prices are always dropping so it's better to wait few months and save up some money. I'll probably get mine at the end of this year which is a perfect time, that's what i did with A52s.

Some people want for example, the best camera experience, or the best chipset to play games all the time, or the best display to view movies/videos on it.
                                        I am not one of this people (heck, I got a Galaxy A23 5G as my primary phone and the phone is okish for the most part), but I do understand this kind of people that want and need premium phones. At least some of them, I am not talking about the people who buy premium phones just to show of.
