I did almost 10 days worth of research before buying it on the very first day of launch here in India 24th March 2023. So watching this review on my Awesome Lime A54 5G. Must say that the design choice, the display , the primary optics and the user experice is simply AWESOME..😊
What are those metallic rings around the camera made of?
glad you're having a great time!
@@Lereevschalkwyk Well I am not sure of the exact material but it looks and feels metal. Certainly not plastic or chrome. Build is really good.
@@TechRight the good, the bad and the ugly about these phones nowadays is the AMOLED technology. I don't know why people are so obsessed with deep blacks, are they also obsessed with burn ins, green vertical lines and AMOLED short lifespan??
Also what's the use of praising a technology full of problems???
@@sarbajit_de Thank you!
Honestly I would choose the a54 because of the 120 Hz, nice screen, decent processer, speed and speakers
I also have the S22 Ultra since I've been a Note user since the Note 3. My mom has been using the S9 the past 4 years and ordered the A54 for her to try out (coming this week). I which the premium S series still had the microSD card slot!
as long as the A series of phones have a micro sd slot and nice proformace for the price than it will always be a clear choice
I'm probably the only person who doesn't like a glass back. All my devices go instantly in a case. So aluminum or plastic backs are perfectly fine for me. GREAT REVIEW, BTW.
U'll love it I'm sure! 😊 I got the graphite color.
PROS
_Minimalistic and clean design (looks like an S23 and that's a good thing!)
_Solid primary camera
_IP67 Rating
_Grear display / Fast refresh rate
_4 years of updates
_Audio is great
_Colour Choices this year
CONS
_Performance has its moments (Exynos ain't Qualcomm)
_Macro Sensor needs a software update
_Slow Charging (even at 25 Watts)
_No headphone jack
_No wall charger
_Price needs to be competitive (but you get 4 to 5 years of updates)
I'm a Motorola Guy , but even I am impressed with what Samsung has done this year (I'm sure Carriers will offer the A54 and the A34 as deals, it's just waiting to see what specs carriers have vs the unlocked variant). Kudos to Samsung for impressing me this year! 😀👍🏻
What motorola do you use? I have only bad reviews regarding the Motorola #1 being they dont do software updates
@No_Name why?
@No_Name how is that a good thing? When you have a headphone jack, you have a choice between wired and wireless headphones but if it doesn't have a headphone jack, you have to use wireless headphones. I guess there are also type C headphones but you can't charge your phone while using them and that's a bad thing especially because this phone only does 25W charging.
@No_Name thing is I already have a decent pair of wired headphones which would just become usless as soon as I buy a phone that doesn't have a headphone jack.
@@wolfzai786 Motorola phones have one OS update. Mine is stuck at Android 11.
I believe the speakers are also powered by Dolby Atmos, it sounds kind of bassy and loud which I really like on a phone with this price range.
I bought a Samsung A53 5G on Amazon Prime day last year for £249. Despite reviewers not liking it my A53 is an almost perfect phone. The only downside is a slightly slower CPU than Chinese phones at the same price point. Now with the A54 the CPU is 40% faster which makes the A54 a perfect phone. I get 5 years of security updates with means that the cost per year of a Samsung A53 or A54 phone is much less than any Chinese phone because no Chinese phone gets more than 2 years of security updates.
Got my a53 for 180 euros pretty good phone coming from iphone 12
I bought an S21 plus for 250$ ..... you were scammed
@@arkvsi8142 my a53 is unlocked and is not part of a contract. Is your a21 also contract free? I have a £8•20 50 GB SIM only contract
Absolutely spot on with the cons, their are many other options you can spend and save money on the s21 will be a better option as well, and yes i know someone is going to be up the software support but the s21 or any flagship will always faster regardless if a new mid ranger has more software support. plus you're getting more features such as reverse wireless charging , samsung dex which are both outstanding features and wireless charging those features matter yall, great video!
Appreciate the love boss 💪👏. Great points!
This is usually what I think about these mid phones. But this year... these chipsets are fast enough that you will not notice a difference with performance for average daily tasks and they run games fine. The cameras are also good enough to compete with flagships that came out this year. Therefore the years of software support, battery life and flagship appearance makes the s21 too old... The midrangers are finally real options
@I'm getting Old A54 not HDR compliant?
@@imgettingold9407 youll notice a difference if you play genshin impact
There is that but if you go into the science you will realise even a brand new in the box s21 will not have the battery life it was released with it is sad to say but lithium ion batteries deteriorate significantly when sat on a shelf. If you add that with the problems older samsung phones have if it has been alowed to sink bellow 25percent charge while sat in the store the battery will have deteriorated to such a degree that it will swell and break the phone. With the 2-3 year old S21 still brand new in the box you will find its battery cappacity if checked properly will be only 75 percent of the at release battery capacity.
4 years OS updates and 5 years security patches. Chinese smartphone makers really have some catching up to do because 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of security patches just isn't enough in 2023.
Which should I buy Galaxy a73 or Galaxy a54
This phone looks gorgeous, still have my A52 and still works wonderfully for me. Going to wait for an A55 to see if it will meet my demands, as I feel this phone rn doesn't feel like a massive upgrade. Although a good bonus for these phones is a 4-year software update, which is good for long-term use
Me too, I feel my A51 screen looks better than A54
You both guys funny
@@ektarfagaming6411this is definitely better than the A51. The A52 has a snapdragon processor though so it's probably better than the A54 performance wise.
@@afanasibushmanov7463nah, a54 processor is slightly better than the one on the a52
I think at times people expect to much from phones. For someone who doesn't game, this phone is actually pretty good. If you're a heavy gamer complaining about the chipset in this device, buy a console. Xbox Series S is actually cheaper than this phone. Or.. by a flagship device. Otherwise, if you don't game this is a solid phone for the price. People like what they like.
You made a good point there, a phone with this kind of specs should not cost more than a console and yet it does. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad phone but it's too expensive for what it offers.
Nice phone 📱 highly recommend it...I got the S21 as well and can honestly say the A54 is Awesome!!! I hate that samsung is following Apple 🍎 with the no headphone jack and not being able to open the phone and change out the battery yourself still a great phone.. seriously thinking About selling my S21 and keep the A54 as my daily 📱
I love mine! I got it for $49.99 when I switched to Cricket from Metro. Does it come with wireless charging, so I can use a stand wireless charger or the pad to charge it? 😊 Great video!!!
From someone who is not a tech expert and has had a OnePlus 7 for 4 years, would this be a reasonable choice to switch to? Aside from general day-to-day use, the most considerable use I give my phone is through photos and videos. Until then, I've always been satisfied with OP 7, so I wonder if this one maintains the quality at least.
People keep saying the processor is bad but honestly I just don't see it. Apps open quick and everything runs as it should. I think the phone could use an update to be a bit smoother but for the most part it's not bad at all, this is coming for someone that used a pixel 7 pro 🤷♂️
Super phone just bought 2 days back. Beautiful and fast. 😊❤
Hello, So how do you think the Samsung a54G phone compares to the 2020 or 2021 Motorola Stylus G? Particularly regarding the Picture And Video Quality? Is the Samsung video and picture quality Noticaebly Better or Worse than the motorola? How does it compare for battery life while shooting Video and pictures? which is more "rugged/drop resistant? is ruggedness "noticeably different bewteen the cameras? I know the motorola I have has a metal frame. I don't want to "upgrade" to the Samsung if the Picture and Video quality is not as good or maybe not even if it is not Noticably Better... Have you noticed if it 1080 video good? As good as its 4k of course with the exception of "line detail?"
How does these cameras compare with video life when shooting video? Oh, can the Samsunt shoot proper horizontal video, but while holding the camera horizontally like you can with the motorola? Thanks. Have a great day. 🙂
Hi bought an A73 about 4months ago , should I get a A54, or keep my A73??
I just got mine today. The speakers are very good with bass, the vibrations are GREAT the screen is beautiful, Camara is great. I have to say I just love this phone as of now. Hopefully the 1380 will hold up well. But yeah if you pick-up this phone at a store or something you will have a hard time telling the difference between this and a flagship for sure.
Exynos 1380 is 4X performance and 4X efficient
Just don't update the software
Should have got the Pixel 6a or the 7 which is about the same price as the 54. Only difference is if you are not in the states. Hope you enjoy your purchase. 😊
@@doomy_doomy2225 I had the 6a for a month. Battery life was garbage
@@johnnyradmer3998 I am gonna assume you use your phone all day cause that phone is a full day phone and most reviews have showcased that. That or for some people with android there are a lot of apps that drain battery if you don’t know what you’re doing with your background settings
Big bro, say two words for galaxy tab a7's display; I'd love to hear from you.
I never turn my phone brightness over 50% because I do not want to get image burn again. Had it very bad in the past on a super amoled screen. Could not imagine having 100% brightness on very long just thinking about getting image burn.
I am going to forever be spoiled by my S9 that im still using. Peak smartphone design imo.
That said, no 3.5mm jack and no charger on a mid range phone is a turn-off for me.
The exynos chip not so much as my S9 has an exynos chip. Still, i wanted to see a snapdragon 7 gen 2 in this thing. Would have been awesome.
Macro sensor is useless 99.99% of the time and aside from marketing bull i dont understand why is it everywhere in the budget segment.
Why are my fingers always sore when texting? Wondering what screen saver is made of... 😢
Great video and lots of good info! I do agree with the list of cons and feel that there are better phones for the same price or even less. Based on your testing, did it have any lag(like how the a53 did for some)?
haven't actually experienced any lag yet.
any suggestion for the same price?
@@reys1381 honestly in that price range I'd either go for any of the new Pixels like the Pixel 7 or Pixel 6a (or wait for the 7a in a few months) or just get the a54... it's actually a decent device and doesn't have the issues the a53 did
It may not be as good as some of the ones you stated but it has the main thing I want in a new phone, a Micro SD slot... I have a LOT of music in lossless and phones generally don't have enough of space for it all, or cost the earth to get that extra space. The only thing it's missing is a headphone jack but sadly that's a losing war... I don't believe there's any newish phones left that have both MicroSD and a Headphone jack. (And if anyone knows I'm wrong on that, feel free to correct me)
a52s 5g
where do you get your lossless audios? I have an LG G7, and I have some lossless audio but most of the songs I listen to are just hq mp3s
@@duomaxx Mostly from physical media, CDs ripped losslessly, as well as most albums released in surround (Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull etc box sets) usually have high res stereo mixes included as well that can be ripped.
Otherwise, there's HDTracks, where I've gotten a handful of albums in Hi-Res as well.
Yes I don't know why they stopped with the sd card slots...
They get enough money as it is and want people to pay for storage
I just want a phone with sd slot
@@KirstyReeve. I feel like they only put it on budget/mid tier phones because they figure they can't convince the 'poor' people to upsell for space, but someone rich enough for a 1000 dollar phone can pay an extra 100-200 dollars for a pittance of extra space.
Great review !!! Always enjoy your Channel 😊
I was thinking of buying the A23. Do you think it's worth spending more money to get the A54?
Yes
How long did it take you to dig up these reasons "that nobody cares about" to arive at this Galaxy bashing & why did you take the time? It is obvious you are really trying hard to steer people away from Samsung. My best guess is they must have turned you down for some type of sponsorship! My advise, which I'm sure you don't want, is simply "be honest".
What should i buy? The A54 or the Poco f5? Im interested in the camera quality
get A54, Samsung never disappoint for cameras and it has 4 years of major Android updates instead of Xiaomi's 2
How about this compared to a S21 FE, which do you think is the better buy?
Performance wise the FE. The battery life seems to be better on the A54 though and it has an SD card slot. Really comes down to what you're looking for in a phone.
@@afanasibushmanov7463 Okay thanks.
Here i would like to share my experience 1 when it comes keyboard accuracy samsung win which I felt most important specially when you want to update password enter password in banking app payment app drafting email or even comments on UA-cam.The Gboard is the worst keyboard followed by Mint keyboard 2 User Interface and built-in security despite installing Avast and AVl on xaomi phone The security is not up to the mark suddenly you see the UIand OS is not stable and the window start moving here and there which is very annoying since i am testing the potential of device i keep going but celibrity will sue you.3 3 Offline market complain that phone hang which was not the case over the last 10 years. The only concern Audio Amplification irrespective of series and models offcourse
A54 or A55?
I bought this phone and I had an A71 and I can say that compared to the A71 it is this: better sound, screen and worse battery.
Thank you for the information really appreciate it
I purchased this phone in Australia, and it came with a charger in the box
It's simple.. if u have an A52s or A53 just wait for A55. Otherwise if u have lower than these two devices i recommend u to get the A54! U'll love the great looks and other pros of it. 😊
Good point
I have a53 and yes I think I will wait for the a55
I came here to ask just this. Samsung offered me $250 for my A53. Wanted to check if I should upgrade. Thank you
I have the A52s bought almost 2 years ago. Still really quick. I think the A52s still has a faster chip than the A54? its probaly the best phone i had.
I got an A52 and still works well, while I love the design of these phones, I have no desire to upgrade it this year, going to wait for the a55 to see if it's worth it and if my phone doesn't meet my requirements.
I have this phone got it brand new and it does come with a charging cord it's hidden inside the box with the key to open the phone just need to but a block... over all I love this phone allot !!! I'm in London one Canada 🇨🇦 recommend this phone to anyone....
How’s the haptics? Any good?
Will it do 4k on youtube? After the a52 5g, they dropped it to 1080.
Hai plz suggest some USB headphones .
If you have time can u do a exclusive video on Some USB C headsets . Since most phones are cutting 3.5mm jack
Is Metro by t mobile getting the a54?
Is it worth upgrading to this from the Galaxy A72?
I'd say so.
Sir can you make camera comparison to vivo v27 and Samsung A54 ?
Hello, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this phone. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me whether A54 heats up while playing games or daily use or not.
Nope
I have an a 54 and I can't hook up a portable monitor 2 mirror from the phone to the monitor I have tried everything I don't have Wi-Fi but I was told I don't necessarily need it how can I get my Samsung Galaxy a54 to mirror to the portable monitor thank you
Does the phone get heated
Can't figure figure out how to change the sound of incoming text messages on the a 54?
I just bought one . Verizon. I uses to have an A53. I hope it is as good for videos.
Very good review. Thank you :)
Is there a 3rd party way to add wireless charging?
Just came across your channel today. Absolutely love your video and I've hit the subscribe button.
I'm happy with my Motorola G62 5G tho.
Thanks so much for watching buddy!
Thats glass back hits different ngl always been a samsung soldier and ill never switch brands 5000 mah battery glass back gorilla glass F & B the chipset hold its own in some areas and i got it free from total by verizon just port your number from a different carrier and i only paid $89 great great deal
I have a few daily drivers and one of which, is this A54. It stops reading the Sim card once in a while. Tmobile and Metro sell it activated with eSim in store. But for those that need a physical Sim to be able to switch device, be aware that it may stop reading your Sims from time to time. At least that's the case on mine.
Watching and typing with my a54. Very awesome device 💯
Ayy, glad you liking it! Really an exceptional device!
Do you like it? Is it good for gaming?
@@anthonygarcia8502 i have one, and for gaming its pretty good, opens games faster, the most hardcore game i play is fortnite and runs at 60fps
How’s the haptics on the A54? Any good? My A52s haptics are terrible.
@@pianrasa Same on the A53. I can't get over it
Good review. I think this one looks amazing.
hi how is the back for fingertips
A friend of mine was asking if he should trade in his base model S23 for this A54 I said no what the heck lol.
Good choice if I am a Pokemon Go, Adventure Capitalist playe plus like to listen to music, use X and book flights etc?
how is the battery life on the a54?
I have A54 green lime, but on GSM arena they say its plastic back and some say it is gorila glass 5, im confused
Just ordered one. I use Apple earbuds for listening as they sound pretty good. Just replace them every few months as the bass response drops out and the right channel eventually drops out.
Hi great video! I'm still torn between the A54 and A34. Give me your honest opinion on dimensity 1080 chip set. I'm not a gamer or heavy camera user. And both devices seem to have very similar specs. Would just like your opinion on which you'd think would be a better choice. Want a device that would last beyond 2 years. I have an A50 now got it in 2019 but it's giving me so many problems so I need a new device. Would like to hear your opinion. Thanks!!
buy a s21 fe for 400$ it is miles better
@@NAEVSTARSBad battery.. Not many updates anymore.
Aside from that, it's a great phone.
The dimensity seems to be slightly better than the exynos, the camera on the a34 is sloghtly worse compared to the one on the a54.
Is it true ? The Galaxy a34 5g Is better than a54 5g if it Is You should put theme together In one video to see them more
I know everyone was optimistic that the new Exynos 1380 would be better than last year's 1280 in the A53. But that said, Exynos equals laggy and slow. I have commented that in many videos that everyone should be prepared to be disappointed. It's crazy that in the year 2023 that Samsung is still using their worst performing chipset in a phone that price at $450. The Pixel 7 is currently $449 on the Google Store and Amazon and for that price, it'll easily defeat the A54.
The Tensor is based on Exynos too.
Bought it today as a second phone... For 300euros,free charger in official store, It's on sale. And 5 years of support🤷🏻♂️Great looking phone...and new exynos is not bad at all👍
Yeah these tech reviewers kept talking about how much better the Exynos processor in the a54 was than last year on geekbench scores. But sometimes scores don't tell the whole story if the chipset isn't very well optimized. Exynos chipsets haven't been stable or reliable. Samsung should really just discontinue the Exynos chips and stick with Snapdragon or mediatek dimensity.
They havent made exynos with 4+4 cores in the past. Either its only 2 performance cores, 0 or even X1, mongoose cores in flagship which are way power hungry. So not every exynos is same.
Have you used the phone?
I recently get this phone, my first complain is thet battery drain to fast but i solved it by deactivating 5g,5g isnt avilable in Serbia so i dont lose anything, i reduce refresh rate to 60 to save battery life, battery last me longer now.
My previus phone was a32, a54 have a lot better camera i love ability to shot in 4k
Thanks so much this review
absolutely! Thanks for atching!
Does A54 have a slot for SD card and SIM card?
In case you've not yet had any luck - yes my US version a54 has a slot for a single SD micro.
I have the samsung A53 i love it but been having issues with my 5g going in and out so when i play codm its laggy idk wht phone i wanna lease next 😐
When does they release for metro
Samsung are offering free galaxy buds 2 with an a54 or a34 purchase. This is in the UK im not sure abiut other markets. As far as I know this offer is still up so the headphone jack shouldn't be a problem if you get one now
Hi, it has over heating issues?
What do you expect it has a crappy exynos chipset it will heat up
@@alimostofa967 i bought A54 l, it's not crappy its a fast chipset and i love it.
@Nikos Schizodimos not better than the a34 5g as the a34 5g is more faster than the a54 5g
@Nikos Schizodimos and the a54 5g it has a bad chipset exynos so it is a power hungry battery drainer it heats up quickly
@@alimostofa967 LOL
I recognized your intro...

You forgot WiFi charging capability. Unless my ADHD kicked in 😅
tengo el a54 5g y la verdad es que ha sido un buen celular, la batería me sorprendió, las cámaras, etc pero tengo una queja. y es que yo tenía un a32 y lo usaba a 90hz y la cámara de instagram me iba fluida, sin embargo con el a54 se ve todo feo, todo lento y eso que uso los 120hz pero si los bajo sigue viéndose igual la cámara de ig y del teléfono. ¿saben de una solución?

Should i buy this one or a52s for next 5 years?
Nah, os updates aren't gonna last for 5 years
@@TechRight So pass on both?
@@mixaa22 A54. The performance of the A54 is on par with that of the A52s
A54. But best to wait for A55 or a potential A54s if you can.
@@Xevos701 There won't be an A54s
"This product was sent to me for FREE from.." Please be sure to clearly state that at the beginning of your videos, as required. As a viewer & consumer.. it'd be greatly appreciated.
in romania the a54 costs 506 euros and the galaxy s22 is 587 i dont think its worth it
I like the Galaxy A54 from what I've read about it and from the reviews done on it but I would not buy it because it has no wireless charging. Hopefully Samsung will include wireless charging on the Galaxy A55.
When is a 55 5g coming because you said waiting for it
Cause let me tell you wireless charging is a dealbreaker. lol. NOT
@Thesweetlifeofaplannergirl Well it may take a bit longer on a wireless charger instead of using a USB-C cord to charge your smartphone, but at least you won't be plugging and unplugging a USB-C cord which can wear out or worse break the phones USB-C port.
The Macro Sensor should be replaced with another feature, spec, etc.
Hi please help me.. My samsung a54 5g clock app doesn't alarm. Does anyone here can give an advise?
Well, put it this way. I've had it through the whole summer here in arizona and if it goes past 104 Internally, which happens all the time it will stop charging.
Pretty annoying.. This phone gets hot even just sitting there.
Going through the internet it can go up to 112. And wi'll stop charging.. Also the vessel is plastic and mine Just got dropped on a soft rug knicked The plastic so easily. So I wish they had the a55 Available in the u s atleast it has a metal bezel... But yeah, every time I use the phone I have to wet the back to keep a cool to charge it
Does it have AOD?
Yes it does
@@TechRight What are those metallic camera rings made of?
oh yeah, are the camera rings plastic or metal?
Plastic
Glass breakable back, so so premium programmed obsolescence. Beautiful stuff here.
If it fulfills my purpose, then why buy more expensive phone or worry about it?
I own it in white , bought it for 395€
Its a very nice Phone
I'm watching this on my a54 5g from cricket
All the streaming apps and yt play videos on a screen half the size of the phone. Don't recommend unless u like tiny movies
Sir what about processor ..?
Decent for small mobile games, not a gaming phone performance somewhat good but it's exynos
Is the lime colour too feminine?
Between S21FE and A54 which is better?
The s21fe for sure
My just got hers she loves it traded the a52 . The comments about buying good used are on sale phones are moot nobody is paying full price for this phone. An to get the deals on the pixels you have to upgrade your policy with your carrier
Great video superb review
appreciate you boss!
@@TechRight Your welcome a pleasure
They at least could've put a SD or an old Flagship Exynos chip! 1380 is just a deal breaker at this price
It does have the sd card slot try to pay attention
For tech user it is but for people who doesnt need a gaming phone it will be alright. Not to mention, 1380 is their latest chipset.
Correct the low, bad sound please
No earphone socket why just follow stupid Apple then no, thanks and I bet there is no charger?
You forgot to mention that in order to get the pixel deals you'll have to activate your that phone. Unlocked those phones are more than the a54
Nah, they are on amazon unlocked for less and the same price. You don't have to activate anything.
