A54: microSDXC (uses shared SIM slot)
S23 FE: No

    [deleted post]So is saying that the A54 is a better phone than the twice as powerful S23 FE, just because of battery life. Exactly why I commented what I did, you just can't understand irony.

      Well I mean, you don’t need to spend 1k$ on a Phone to be Rich
      If I buy one for 325$ then I’m poor? & don’t have money &… That’s not logic GSM Arena

      Please be Polite & Revise that sentence…

      Thanks

          Anonymous, 21 Nov 2023This should be 199.This should be $1.99… see how ridiculous you sound?

            Phantom Ensemble, 21 Nov 2023A54 vs A54sA52s: Am I a joke to you? A54s is just a cashgrab. At least A54 has good battery life and puts up a fight against me. Beides A54s isn't even in my price bracket.

              justasmile, 21 Nov 2023Now it's a worthy choice to get the S23 FE for the bet... more(Thick bezels and not to mention its GPU throttling)

                This is Gsmarena leading the debate using the bed app ever, phone comparison.

                It does say USA, that does stop you looking if non USA
                At first sight yeah a very good deal.

                You have the comparison, in some regards the A54 may be a serious upgrade in itself, starting at 4Gb Ram you notice a limitation in attaching photos to emails, when using the phone

                The SD card is still relevant, it offers expansion and flexibility, stored on phone or card. Transfer the contents of any card to a new phone

                Not having microSD removes flexibility. There S23 FE has
                OTG support, this enables data transfer without using a PC.
                If upgrading to the S23 FE, you could easily copy microSD data to the phone via PC, and however you frequently you want transfer /copy new images to the card.

                OTG is not the replacement to not having a microSD, it means you have to adapt

                If I understand it correct in YouTube videos the iPhone 15 shoots 8K Videos, however this option is only allowed if you are connected to a memory source using OTG,
                I have no idea If this is 4K, 2K etc it seem to be designed to not eat away at phone memory.

                The price may ultimately hold sway in any comparison, for me if having an SD was a deal breaker, I would be looking at the 6Gb+ ram variants

                  Anonymous, 21 Nov 2023This should be 199.Name a phone you can get for US$199 in the US market (officially sold there) that is better than this then or at least as good as it to justify your argument

                    An S23 FE for $399...only in USA. In Europe that will translate to €699 or something

                      A54 does have micro SD card support. S23 FE doesn't. Still matters to lots of folks.

                        Now it's a worthy choice to get the S23 FE for the better camera, chipset, cooling system, Dynamic AMOLED 2X Vs Super AMOLED, better selfie camera (lower megapixel but better sensor) and metal frame! That is, if you don't mind sacrificing plenty of battery life.

                          Good prices. Like always, only in USA

                            Anonymous, 21 Nov 2023A54 has better battery life than the S23 FE.So does every rugged phone with 10000mAh+ batteries, so why not just jump to that?

                              This should be 199.

                                No thanks. Will keep my A52 and will wait for S24 series.

                                  You could buy the S23 FE or you simply don't, cause it sure isn't that great to begin with. People buying the A54 want a good daily driver which it will be and the battery life difference is very noticeable

                                    A54 has better battery life than the S23 FE.
