    "The Galaxy A54 is the choppiest, laggiest phone we've reviewed long-term in a long time."

    You are definitely alone in that opinion.

            I know it's alluded to in tbe article.. but re-reviewing this phone hours before a profound update hits it, which deeply affects how the device looks, feels, perfoms and behaves, just blows my mind.

                Anonymous, 02 Dec 2023Its 310 USD include tax now for 256GB which is a steal......A steal is Poco F5 which is better on any department but cameras. Also there's no 128 variant

                    Mills, 01 Dec 2023GSMArena Team shitting on the phone's performance and ... moreThey have to put in some positives to keep getting review units from Samsung, but at least they pointed out the flaws, unlike some YouTubers out there.

                      ashrobb, 02 Dec 2023Kinda harsh review. Honestly, I feel this one is overrated.... moreIt’s not harsh. Actually, it’s refreshing and consistent with many others. It’s just not a good phone, especially for the price and brand. The only redeeming factor is IP rating and OS updates, but kinda hard to recommend a phone at this price that is choppy in basic UI interaction, especially when a true flagship like the S21FE is not that much more in price.

                        newflesh, 02 Dec 2023"get the A34 instead for better UI performance." ... moreWhy? There are plenty of videos showing how the A34 actually looks and feels smoother in basic UI interactions than the A54.

                            The reason you don't see a lot of phones with Snapdragon 7+ gen 2, and why Samsung won't be using it, is because they are really 8+ gen 1 that didn't make the speed bin grade. To get the improved performance on the 8+ gen 1 Qualcomm likely had to reject a lot of chips that weren't quite good enough. They ended up with a big stock of these, which they've shifted by under-clocking them and calling them 7+ gen 1.

                            But only a limited supply would be available; they're not going to make any more.

                              People think of the GSMArena unit fault, if you have watched Nick Ackerman channel he also experienced this laggy and choppy on the A53 which is also an Exynos. Samsung hasn't been able to fix this on the A54 either.

                              From here you know, there is no way if this phone will last 2 years or will be more laggy with updates. And the logic of Samsung users will think about changing to a new phone every year because it is already laggy.

                                  Don't know what people expected from this smh. Samsung can always surprise everyone by putting out a proper well-rounded midranger like they did before but I suppose that's not happening soon.

                                    I'm not so sure about that

                                      One of the worst A5x model to date. Heavy, bulky, large bezel with smaller screen, choppy for basic UI interaction. If you want a Samsung midrange, get the S21FE instead. You get flagship chip and proper triple cameras. If you’re on a budget, get the A34 instead for less and better UI performance.

                                        Samsung Galaxy A54 is the best selling Samsung phone and has a 4.7 star rating on Amazon. What does that say about this review ?
