magnaroader, 02 Dec 2023Mediocre fingerprint sensor....what? I have this phone sin... moreIt's an optical fingerprint sensor, not an ultrasonic one like on flagship phones.

It's also slower than side-mounted fingerprint sensors.

Therefore, it is mediocre.

          I owned this phone and there's no lag of problem with smoothness and performance what's so ever. It operates quite well actually and is one of the main reasons so many people rave about it.

            After moving from the A90 to the A54, I am beyond pleased with everything the A54 has to offer. Obviously you can tell it isn't an S-series phone, but it is also not S-series pricing!
            No major issues so far, occasionally the fingerprint sensor needs a 2nd try, but a quick wipe of my finger and it is fine.
            I think Samsung (or any other company) will have to come out with something very special for me to move away from the A54

              potato4k, 02 Dec 2023No they're not. Plenty of videos showing how it's... moreI don't care about videos that rarely can be trusted.
              I have both A34 and A54, no difference, both work fine.

                        rosesarerosie, 02 Dec 2023Every phone can feel fast if you haven't used anything... moremy parents thought for 9 years that there galaxy note 4 was the definition of 'fast'
                        then they upgraded to an s23🤷‍♂️
                        for someone who doesnt experience speed/performance on other phones, your own phone seems fast

                          Mills, 01 Dec 2023"...a large 5,000 mAh battery with 25W charging, a 50M... moreThe main camera is Sony IMX 766 BTW.

                            Mediocre fingerprint sensor....what?
                            I have this phone since launch and never ONCE had an issue with the fingerprint sensor. WTF do these GSMarena blokes smoke?

                              i think i'd rather pay extra money to get s23 for solid performance and build quality

                                Mills, 01 Dec 2023This phone is far from choppy. Microstutters can happen but... moreEvery phone can feel fast if you haven't used anything faster for a proper time
                                It literally lagged and crashed out in a speed test on YT, and people reported issues on Twitter as well
                                In 2023 a lagging mid-ranger is inexcusable, and they called it out rightfully in this review

                                  Is the very competent main camera in the room with us ?
                                  There is no way that you call that oversmearing/sharpening mess "great levels of detail"

                                        Adam, 02 Dec 2023"The Galaxy A54 is the choppiest, laggiest phone we�... moreNo they're not. Plenty of videos showing how it's choppier than the A34. For the price segment, it surely is not delivering the basic user experience. I mean I can understand a lagtastic cheap Helio G35 phone with eMMC. But this is a premium mid-range with quad performance cores. It has no reason to be stuttering for basic UI interaction.
