This feels overpriced. Should have had a snapdragon 778 and a 108 mp camera to justify. I'm saying this because older A50 series have been at this price range and have been much better. The A52s even had the sd778 for the same price.
No wonder samsung is losing market share to xiaomi and vivo in the midrange and lower-end.

    Oki, 08 Apr 2023Much better device for the money. This is the logical succe... moreIt really depends on where you are. The A34 here is similarly priced as the A51 and the A33 5G, while the A54 is like $50 higher and priced the same as the A52 and A53 (and slightly lower than A52/s 5G). So it could be a bad deal in some, good deals in others.

      Arash, 08 Apr 2023I hate notch, Samsung charges more than last year for this ... moreExactly, its notch is bullshit & outdated... I prefer Xiaomi instead, like Poco X5 Pro

              Adam, 08 Apr 2023Please start writing in your reviews about signal strength.... moreSignal depends on location, crowd density and carriers, a same phone in London and Peru probably got different signal strength result, I don't know how they'll be able to translate that into a number for people to compare it to another phone.

                I would recommend people to get A34 over the overpriced A54 anyday. Dimensity 1080 is better than exynose

                  Please check about 5G Carrier Aggregation support.

                    Adam, 08 Apr 2023Please start writing in your reviews about signal strength.... moreI agree. The signal strength can vary massively between phones. It's one of the first things I check when I get a new phone along with the cameras. As an example I recently bought a Oneplus 11 and a Vivo x90 to try them out and there was a huge difference in signal strength (the Oneplus 11 was about 15-20% stronger for 5g anyway). There was an even bigger gap for wifi signal strength (again the Oneplus 11 was better). Unfortunately, it's not something that is mentioned in most reviews. The problem it can be difficult to generalise due to different sim cards, bands and regions

                      Adam, 08 Apr 2023Please start writing in your reviews about signal strength.... moreI can tell you, as I have this phone for review right now. The signal strenght is great and 5g speeds top at around 500 Mbps in my case. Phone calls come loud and clear both on my end and other people's

                        Oki, 08 Apr 2023Much better device for the money. This is the logical succe... moreWhile in my country A54 costs exactly the same price as A53 and A52s did. A34 costs same as A52 4G and A51 and A50. It depends country to country.

                          Adam, 08 Apr 2023Please start writing in your reviews about signal strength.... moreBecause it's different in literally every country. And it's not entirely up to a phone how well the signal will be. No point in doing such tests. It's the best to ask on your local forums real owners how good is the signal

                            Much better device for the money. This is the logical successor to A53 and A52s, not that overpriced a54 scam. When you compare the specs there's nothing that justifies 100+$ price increase in a54 over this model.

                              Please start writing in your reviews about signal strength. Why in 99% of reviews on the internet there is not a single word about making phone call as you are reviewing a phone?
