Samsung Galaxy A54 review

Anonymous, 30 Mar 2023You are better off upgrading to Galaxy S23. I wouldn't... moreWhy is the S23 superior to the Pixels when I prefer the photo processing of Pixels? Are you referring to hardware or software factors?

    In Indonesia, people tend to compare A54 with Vivo V27 and Mi 12T due to the price wise.
    Price : A54 > Mi 12T > V27 (V27 is the cheapest one)
    Game : Mi 12T > V27 > A54
    Looks/style : V27 > A54 > > Mi 12T (No body care about Xiaomi)
    Software : A54 > Mi 12T = V27
    Camera : V27 > Mi 12T > A54 (I have a doubt why DXO Mark put Mi 12T with higher score)

    I should appreciate A54 to have better water resistance rating and better camera companions (UltraWide & Macro). V27 have a strong point on the new SoC, Front camera and stylist design, despite a doubt on schotty glass and curved screen.

        " We get pleasing vibrant colors and accurate white balance"

        If it is vibrant, then cannot be accurate unless subjects have vibrant colours, which is not the case.

        What gym to praise samsung.

          rizki1, 31 Mar 2023Poco X5 Pro $300 is much better than this, Almost the same ... moreSo for this Samsung phone review, it's too expensive and you recommend a Xiaomi phone yet for the recently reviewed similarly priced Redmi note 12 pro+ everything is great according your comment copied below. This shows your bias. Try to remain more balanced rather than always recommending Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco phones for reviews from other brands

          Your Comment on Redmi Note 12 pro+
          'everything is good, only the battery life.. maybe it can be fixed in a software update. But it's not a big problem I think if you have super fast charging. I really like the color and the design... Looks good in real life photos.'

            Samsung Czech Republic confirmed that the main camera is Sony IMX 766.

                Galaxy A54 = 119h in battery test. Only 119h ???

                The inefficiency of the Exynos 1380 is really brought into the spotlight here.

                For comparison, A52s = 113h, so A54 is only 6 hours better when-

                1) A54 has 500 mAh bigger battery than A52s

                2) A54 has more efficient screen (M10 emitter)

                3) A54 has Adaptive Refresh Rate (60-120 Hz)

                4) A54 has slightly smaller 6.4" screen.

                All these upgrades should help the A54 have much better battery life, maybe

                  Arhun, 30 Mar 2023Please do a review of the A34 also. I think A34 will bea... moreA34 is better than A54 in DENMARK battery test.

                    From article "The A54 puts the series back on the right track, we reckon. We're getting a more powerful chipset than last year (though, admittedly, it's roughly on par with the two-year-old A52s),"

                    Right so 2 years later and still no upgrade on the A52s. Even downgrades in several areas, no headphone jack, no charger in box, worse video stabilization, heavier, much bigger bezels.

                    But it gets the standard positive review from GSMarena, almost everything gets at least a 4 despite the last 18 months seeing a big fall in the quality and value of smartphones

                      Strange offering. Huge bezels for a 2023 oled phone, also extremely wide. 76mm?! I have less on a phone with 6.67" diagonal.

                        omg what is going on with samsung?! even by this such a low cpu performance...... only 54% rest cpu power su tue throttling. the korean semiconductors did completely lost the war against taiwan!

                              Poco X5 Pro $300 is much better than this, Almost the same specs/performance but much cheaper. If you get an early bird you can get it for $250 which is half the price of this phone...
