    The overall performance of A54 is good but the main camera is very, very disappointing especially for daylight photography. Everything looks so bright and pale in colours. Any other A54 user facing the same problem?

      This premium phone Samsung Galaxy A54 is better than other premium phone from Balmuda, for almost similar price.

      I choose Samsung over Balmuda.👍

Micro lags are just paranoia and they mean nothing, admitted most people would even notice them (gaming apart). A54 has much better software support, much better cameras, IP67, the precious micro-sd, true always on display. No contest IMO, it's a much more solid choice

          janeymac, 03 Dec 2023For some yes, for others no. The cameras on the Poco F5 are... moreso u expect something really good on $300 samsung camera phone?

            Anonymous, 02 Dec 2023i just wanna say that poco f5 is the ( a lot) better choice😊For some yes, for others no. The cameras on the Poco F5 are rubbish. Don't know about the A54 as I didn't try that but the Poco F5 has poor camera performance for the price so that also won't be for everyone. There are other phones available too depending on the country. It doesn't have to boil down so a choice between these two

              I have this as a secondary phone and think it work pretty good. The only thing I thought was lagging was the in screen finger print sensor. It is slow compared to the S23's or Pixel's. But it does work good, I have only had a few mis taps.

                I will only buy Samsung phone, because of this simple fact. 👍

                  Ray, 02 Dec 2023 😂😂😂😂😂😂 A54 is far better than A52s ..... Next tim... moreWhat are you on about? The A52s successor was gutted since it will mean less TWS sales. Which people keep forgetting that those will still work even if there was a 3.5mm hole in it.
                  And sd 778g >>> exystove. A5X series killed a certain A7X which were the previous value for money batch. The same thing will be done to the A5X series by the A3X ones.

                    Sounds like used phone sellers who insist AMOLED burns are normal and don't cause bad performance. 😂

                      when mainstream outlets like GSMarena saying the phone is laggy, you know it's a huge problem.

                          its really looking good.

                            I have had two A54s. One was stolen, and I bought another one. I am not sure why they say it's very laggy, I really don't see any significant lag or choppiness. Sure, it's not the fastest phone, but it's fine. I had Poco X3 Pro before this phone, and although that phone had a faster CPU, I don't think this phone is slower by any means.

Yeah, i rather trust those videos than words from someone who starting to sound a lot like a Samsung employee or worst, a Samsung ultra

Next tim... moreIts depend on your demand, if you are a performance hunger then you can take a52s, if looking for better overall camera and sound quality then you can take a54, be objective. I never suggest a54 to my working partners who still addicted to game, i always suggest the a34, a73, or even poco, realme gt neo (with some annoying consequences in here ofcourse).
                                  I personally prefer all rounder with more camera capability or special fiture like desktop mode/good multimedia fiture.
                                  A54 is good if you ok with the heat, or if you can manage the heat then its gonna be a good phone.

                                    I do have a feeling that Samsung is going to pull another S21+ where it will nerf the A35 to ensure the A54/A34 situation (where A34 is better in this respective) isn't repeated again and be able to save the A55 after some mishaps. But we'll see if this is the case or not.

                                      sorry but yes, the A54 is a bad deal sir. Pick the A34 with a better chipset, cheaper price, almost as good cameras etc for a lot less money if you really have to have a Samsung.
                                      But, for a little more money, you can get a Pixel 7a for example that runs circles around the A54 in performance, cameras and even has wireless charging. There are other good alternatives also like the F5 you mentioned (phone of the year for me).

I believe also F5 is a better alternative in the price range, if you prefer better camera i would go for a discounted pixel 6a, 7 or 7a
