Samsung Galaxy A54 review

30 March 2023


Sort by:

The inefficiency of the Exynos 1380 chip is baffling.

A54 with 1380 scores 119h in battery test. A52s with 778G scores 113h. But-

1) A54 has a 500 mAh bigger battery

2) A54 has a more efficient screen (M10 emitter)

3) A54's screen has Adaptive Refresh Rate

4) A54's screen is slightly smaller

All these advantages compared to A52s means that the A54 should have much better battery life, maybe even 130h or more. But that's not happening in reality because the inefficient Exynos 1380 drags down the battery life of an otherwise great hardware combination.

      So the A52s is still better than this, even after more than 2 years? Really disappointing

        Surprisingly, the A54 launched at the same price as A53 in my country (1899MYR or 430USD). So the pricing is far more competitive compared to other regions.

            Does this have UFS 2.2 or UFS 3.1?

              Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro is far away better than this.

                I have A52s and I must say I am not impressed with A54. Xiaomi 12T for example seems to be much better option for the price.

                  if you don't care about the design. just get a A52s. it's basically the same.

                  this design is gorgeous though.

                    S21 FE or A54? Which one is better? In Bangladesh, both have similar pricing.

                      Processor seems to be a disappointment. Not good enough for the price. After 4 OS updates it'll be barely working

                        Rather weak antutu score for the price. There are phones with Dimensity 8200 which is far powerful. For $500 there is also the OnePlus 11R with SD 8+ gen 1 again a much better performer
