I DO NOT OWN MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO
I can't complain about the processor, it is a good Exynos. After all these years they did a good job with it.
No
This is my first exynos
The A34 is way better.
@@jamesaaronmanarang better than A54? Explain it to me.
@@aldomtz87 The Samsung Galaxy A34 5G is actually one of the best phones at its price range. It's cheaper than the Pixel 7a, the Galaxy A54 and other rivals. The Galaxy A34 5G boasts a similar software setup to the S23 flagship smartphones, with One UI 5.1 adding all of Samsung's usual mobile services. The camera may not be as good in low light vs. the A54, but its still fine for everyday photos and videos. And gamers can also enjoy a bit of heavy games like Genshin impact, on low detail settings - but the Mediatek chipset can't keep everything smooth all of the time though. On the other hand, Battery life is a highlight of the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G, giving all day play even with plenty of camera action. And that 120 hz Super AMOLED screen is a bit of a stunner, even if didn't support HDR streaming on Netflix. Visuals are bright and poppy, with a great stereo speaker setup(but no headphone jack). So for a budget price, the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G is a smartphone that's quite easy to recommend. I won't basically add a few hundred dollars or pesos more for a slight difference. Also the chipset of the A34 is better than the A54. Afterall, if you are up for the performance and quality, then buy the A34. But if you are up for the showmanship and trend-setting, then buy the A54.
Me and my family have actually owned several phones over the past two years. I think this year alone I have owned S23 Plus, Pixel 7, S21 FE 5G, S22 Plus (Exynos), plus my wifes A52s and her older S20 FE 5G. My son owns an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I actually got the A54 as I am a sucker for trying new tech no matter if its budget or not (plus I can afford it). I took it out with me on a family trip and tested everything from camera down to call quality everything you would expect. You need to remember I am comparing it against all of the phones I mentioned above as those are phones I am very familiar with. First thing is first, camera wise I must have taken around 200 shots using every camera on the phone, but mostly just the main wide sensor. My opinion of the camera is that when the lighting is great, photos come out very good compared to the other phones. Sometimes the phone takes a while to snap a photo but mostly with good lighting it is great. I would say the photos definitely remind me of the S20 FE 5G/S21 FE 5G with a slight hint towards newer processing of the S23. Obviously the S23 will give you better images overall but I would say I am very happy. Video is okay, wasn't really excited by it. Battery wise, it's a bit of a meh, but maybe I need to give it time and let it learn my patterns for a week or two. It didn't heat up too much either like my exynos S22 Plus. As for the screen it is very nice, definitely closer to S23 levels though I would say nowhere near as bright. Overall there is more to say but its a great phone, the Exynos 1380 its clearly doing its job well but there are many people who jump on the Exynos hate bandwagon because of other phones. I mean yes I can see the justification, but I actually think it works here. If my S23 Plus broke I wouldn't mind using this one as a back up. That's a good thing I guess.
Ohh my gosh bro you are just a determined individual
This A54 is totally fine for most people. There are reasons why even on Western countries, só many people like to buy those Samsung A5x smartphones every year. A54 has everything: 1️⃣ nice design 2️⃣ good main camera 3️⃣ good overall midrange performance 4️⃣ good battery life 5️⃣ Samsung OneUi features including Samsung Routines 6️⃣ basic Android features including Gestures, Split View, Floating Windows 7️⃣ Long term support I know people who can't afford a flagship but who still want something good with peace of mind.
@@iAfroTechagreed, the a54 5g also has amazing stereo speakers, better than my s23 plus
@@iAfroTech no, it doesn't have everything because it doesn't have headphone jack 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@markfrederick5012 That’s an opinion. Personally, like most people, i use bluetooth 🎧 and earbuds. Headphones jack will not come back. It's over or you have to buy a Sony.
The title is so funny. Like 4 months later. Bro i will use the phone for 6-7 years. If the phone still works, it's still value to me 😅
Best value phone I`ve had. Amazing pictures, great battery, fast charge, sturdy construction, loud speakers. I work in basically a construction site and i`ve dropped my phone 3 times since august and it`s fine. This is my new Nokia, it`s at that level, in 10 years I will always remember my A54 how much of a jump was coming from other cheap phones.
You sound like me. Plumbers helper. Dropped in water, off roofs umm it got ran over. Yeah I'll never buy another entry level phone again in my life. Never again. This is the way 2 go
Do you have a cover on it? If not, did the glass crack when it fell?
@@ggvvgghhh4420 I do have Samsung`s purple smart view wallet-case because i got my phone in the same purple color and it stands out between all the black phones people usually have on the table. Very well protected. Since a month ago it upgraded it`s Android from 13 to 14 and let me tell you, now it feels 10 times faster. IDK what optimizations they did, but since the update to One UI 6 of the android 14, my phone feels way faster than when it was brand new. Since august it has 5 drops total (one right on pavement of the street). The case lost a bit of the paint on the sides but everything else is perfect even though I never treated my phone with much care. It got dirty, dusty, greasy, got rain on it, dropped, did not made updates on time etc. You just clean it with a cloth or your tshirt and its back at work now, even better than day 1. It doesn`t feel real tbh, i did not expected this, I expected like a 10-20% better quality than my old budget phone (that at the time of purchase was basically the same price), but my purple A54 is in another galaxy (pun intended haha).
Good for average user. That’s why every year, Galaxy A5x are good. A Poco F5 is smoother, and has a better charging speed but OneUi➕Long term support➕Samsung design is enough for average user
Get the official samsung clear case. I dropped on metal floors perfectly fine.
I just got mine yesterday and I absolutely love it I have been with apple for 3 years but even before then I was a samsung guy rocking the s9 for a while in my teen years. This is an amazing phone
Im in south Africa. I recently upgraded to the A54 after owning a Redmi note 8 for 3 years. I haven't had any issues, the occasional jitter here and there but way better that the phone I had. Here in SA we only get the 8GB ram 256GB storage version. I would definitely recommend this phone.
Thanks for your review I've got a Redmi 10c and want the A34 or at least a24 . One UI looks nice .
What a coincidence! I am watching this video with Redmi Note 8 right now and I'm considering to buy Galaxy A54. What do you think
@@batuhantamburaci The A54 is definitely an upgrade over the Redmi note 8. You will definitely feel the difference. If you can get the A54 at a good price, buy it.
@@marlondavids5087 what about the heating problem
@@batuhantamburaci I have not experienced any over heating problems. My phone has been fine.
Ive had the phone since march now.. they were offering it for $469.99 on sale already. Definitely a good phone i came from a moto though and i can say batteries are a difference my moto would last 2 days sometimes.
I did not know that the 4 years of software updates means also getting the current Android version. I am totally sold!
What I like with Samsung nowadays is that they went to 19.5:9 aspect ratio that makes the phone a little bit wider than being awkwardly thin and tall.
I have the lime color and loving this phone. First time I enjoyed android. Always ios. Well, I haven't tried a flagship android.
Thanks for posting this! Would you please answer a technical question about this phone? I've had this A54 for about 3 months now and I just noticed that the Message+ Image Search icon no longer appears in the "Attach Media" option when I select (+) to add an image (i.e. - GIF, Video, MEMEs) from online. The only options now are "Glympse", "Places", "Replies", 'Gallery", and a couple of others. How do you retrieve that blue-colored Search button that was originally in there?
Photos in good lighting are great but not in dim light but still much better than other midrange phones
A54 5G Best Ever ❤
It is a good phone for day to day usage. Exynos processor does it job well. I pay COD mobile regulargy (not on highest setting obviously) and never faced any issues. Cameras are really good. Battery and Dispay are great. Few issues: Phone heats up while using mobile hotspot. Proximity sensor doesn't work properly.
I'm getting a A54 this week can u tell me ur graphic settings
It still heats up eventhough you are not playing mobile games when using mobile hotspot?
@@ricardocaracot-opssupport3405 Yes
A54 doesn't have the highest setting option you can have on cod mobile but even with the highest setting allowed I can play at the highest allowed fps(60) even in BR
My current phone is A71 and I'm planning to buy an upgrade and this version is what I am looking at. Been watching so many reviews to help me decide.
This is me. I actually had a Pixel 7 Pro but it fell in the ocean and died, irreparable. So I went back to my reliable A71 and while I love this little bugger I need something with more power. The only thing holding me back is the screen size, its going to feel weird going for 6.7 - 6.4".
@@marchfifth1754 the A71 might be better than the a54 performance wise, maybe not so much overall FPS but a snapdragon 730 is still probably so much reliable than the proccesor the a54 has
Same with me Please help me decide.
Better go for Nord 3 or OnePlus 12r
Same here, I watch so many reviews daily, I really want this device
Where did you get the wallpaper? More power!
The 4 years of major and 5 years of security updates what made me buy this phone.
I've had this phone for 3 or 4 months now, I just came home from a vacation in Colorado. I got some great pictures of pikes peak.
can you please do a video comparing this phone to the pixel 7a? It sounds like this phone has a better screen, longer battery and better speakers. The pixel 7a has a better chip and better camera and bloat free software. Do a video and compare them please
Got the 8gb/128gb one in the UK. Only use it for social media and photos, Genshin Impact works ok. No issues so far. Got this for £270 new.
Where did you get it for 270 in the UK?
i just hate that they dont make a small 6inch .. 5.8`... mid ranger...
smaller.. with same battery size and all the technical stuff inside ???
Yes@@rahascha
I want the A54 only as a secondary phone, only for occasional KZhead, occasional Netflix, Notes, Calculator and that’s it. Is it a good buy?
I was a huge lg fan had a v series for last 10 years 30/40/60 a 6a pixel too but I broke the Lil beauty I ran her over and I love me a 6a pixel the design and the tensor were awesome but this a 54 5g is like a s 23 clone and I love this phone
Just picked this up as a secondary phone.
i still can't believe how much you get for the money. any casual user would mistake this for a $1k, high-end phone. i only ever use and buy the flagships, but after helping my mom set this phone up for her, i was completely blown away, more so than i have with a flagship in a long time.
Do you recommend this phone over the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE? I have seen this phone and I like it, but is it worth $449? I am looking for a replacement for my moto g power 2020.
Camera is also good!
Vastly improved over the a53 u gotta know it was TouchWiz that made the phone seem a lot worse than it really was and software updates have made it much better... I picked up the a 54 5 G and I've had nothing but flag from v 60 to pixel 6 and this phone has exceeded my expectations performance wise ...no complaints
How do you customise the colors on the apps on the video
What do you guys think Should i get the galaxy A54 or the newly launched Redmi note 13 pro plus
I use it as my daily driver currently and its much better than I expected, I came from the iPhone 12 and yeah this is a pretty good phone. Battery life is great usually get to 70 percent by end of the day cause I don't really play games much on mine though but sometimes do since I got the backbone controller.
If you are having problems with jittery just try installing a virtual ram app. I installed one in my A13 which used to be mega jittery, its still not perfect but my god, the difference on performance is MASSIVE
do you have any recommendations? I'd love to try :)
@@BatBeatNights i use the ram swapper from ferocious tech
Not in this case if you try the virtual ram you will understand it's more break the smoothness
Mines working great. Usa unlocked model from Samsung. 6gb/128gb literally the only size you can get in us without going with global unlocked (T-Mobile only). The only issue with mine is Bluetooth audio range is literally nothing and unreliable bluetooth connection compared to my old phone. Like maybe 2 feet before it starts cutting out and cuts out randomly at times too.
I would trade it back in for another. Something isn't right.
for me the only one i could get was the 8gb ram lol
This is the best phone for me that i have owned, coming from fold 3 , 13 pro max, 23 ultra. Great screen, really good speakers, amazing in hand feel round corners, fast enough som lag but still really good performance, perfect size 6.4 inch with the best aspect ratio. Buy this phone if you have 400-500 dollars to buy a phone
Saying this is the best phone after using all those before doesn't make sense, it's a really crazy thing to say
@@keineken_3281 i am crazy
Hmmm idk I would only buy this at a discount. I currently have the A54, using it to respond to you, and I have a 15 PM as my main phone. This phone is alright but it does have stutters and some lag to it no doubt. It's running the latest update and app updates. It can lag between switching apps. The finger print sensor works 70% of the time. The camera is okay but didn't expect it to be amazing anyway especially compared to my iPhone. The facial recognition is terrible like awful almost never works. But I got this phone new for $250 and for this price no doubt it's worth it. But for $450? I would just save up and get a S23, pixel 8 or iphone 15. That's really my only complaints. The OS is personal preference so no comment. But the screen size, battery life, build quality feel, and screen quality are very good.
I had A34 gave it to my grandma and got a A54 on sale it's much better camera.I did get a Pixel 7a but the battery life is abysmal and much shorter upgrade support so I returned.
Touch wiz was the problem with exynos its a fine proc
Between the honor 90 lite & samsung A54, which be the better?
Very good phone this. 7 gen 2 would have made this the phone of the year (if priced similarly that is).
exactly this smartphone is good in general, and they have saved on the processor and the bezels, but if the processor had been better it would have been the best mid-range
The Snapdragon chip would have definitely made it THE best mid range phone but I think it would have also hiked up the price and then they end up compensating with other parts of the phone.
@@manellejoykadusale7777I don't think there would be a price hike because A54 js already priced to a point for what it offers is simply way too high. I'm using poco f5 which is a SD 7+ gen 2 device and with the highest variant 12gb ram and 256gb of storage it costed me $370. The display is comparable to the A54 + has the dolby vision certification along with hdr10+ support. And it gives a 12 bit display as well. Has a headphone jack, IR blaster and provides 67w charging adapter and cable in the box with a TPU case as well. Thats an insane value and Samsung could have just offered a better A54 with the sd 7+gen 2 within it's current price. Since Samsung isn't providing a 12bit display, dolby vision certification or adapter along with it.
Lol
Guys, maybe I’m too innnocent but I don’t think Samsung wanted to give this phone a worse processor intentionally lor because its cheaper. They are more likely doing try and error till they have their perfect exynos processors. The one in A54 is pretty good for my own needs but it definitely needs improvements. I am rooting for Samsung to be independent in their processors, to in a near future all their phones use use Exiynos and work like the ones from apple. I’m rotting for them to not need to use snapdragon.
i need it to be awesome 15 months later
Been using it for like 2 months now and the battery drains way faster than it claims. I really have to charge it like 2 times. Usually I unplug my device before going to bed, but it still eats up like 10 to 15% of battery life overnight. sometimes even more. Even when i turn off all my phone networks wifi and Location. Put it on sleep mode. I've tried keeping apps on deep sleep. Turning on power saving mode and stuffs, but doesn't really helps. It does slightly feels like it increased the life a little. But its not convincing. Lot of users are facing the same problems it seems
Not I. Sounds like you have a defective phone buddy. My battery last a whole day and that's with me periodically using it on 100% charge.
Could very well be an app that is draining your battery 🤷♂️
I'm suspecting they sold you a fake phone, if not that then manipulated it before selling it off. It all comes down to who and where you bought this phone bc it sounds like you got it from some sketchy phone store.
Do any users encountered fractures in frame of the phone?
So after this review of the Samsung A54 for about $450 range, which phone do you think is a better buy or phone in that price range?
Smaller A54 version would make it a better deal.
Hi... smaller phone size means even smaller battery size ... did you realize that ???
Way do everybody don't like this phone, 😕 I love it , I to love it, I really Verizon then motor anyway I 😏 I didn't like motor at all, 😊 oh ps were do u put your SD card, or do you need one at all because I don't have one ,❤😮
Can someone tell me what is the country of origin for the A54 now?
Bro I bought a 54 with 4yrs android update n 5yrs security update
I was going to get the a54 but ended up with the s24 because it was cheaper if i traded in my s9+
i wanted to keep this phone but right 9ut of the box the screen died on me for about three hours and the location was off by many miles. i returned it and got pixel 8.
Different chip jus like what they did in the Samsung Fe edition..would increase price ..
Instead of showing us the performance by scrolling inside the apps , he showed us how the phone looks next to the wall and how it looks in his hands and how it looks from the back , it would be nice review if it was a table or a chair
this or poco x6 pro?
only issue is with weight... quite heavy compare to other models!!! And you cannot have 2 sims and sd card at the same time, only a one sim and sd card or only 2 sims without sd card!!!
the only disappointment for me is the weight of the device. after 2 years with Mi 11 Lite that Sammy feels brick heavy in my hand. I hope i get used with the extra weight cos it is very nice phone
Eat some steak and eggs to build up some strength dude. It's like only 200g. The potato I ate for dinner weighed more.
@theflyingscott1 hah good advice 👌 may be 200 is average weight but my last phone was feather light 157g. So I immediately noticed the difference
@@VANSbeingusedI loved how you referred a Samsung phone as a “Sammy”.
@@Donyourmom I just love the brand 🙂 After quick affair with Xiaomi i'm back home 😄
Same. People might say it doesn't make a difference but it actually does. I have been using A51 and thought of buying A54, but it was heavy and I knew I wouldn't be able to hold it comfortably for hours lol. Not to mention I have smaller hands so it's kinda hard to hold 6.6-inch phones as well. Max limit for me is 6.5. I was happy A54 was 6.4 but the glass back and thickness made me uninterested. I hope the A55 is lighter.
This phone is ok for the price it is now. The only thing that makes this phone annoying to use is the fact that it has a virtual proximity sensor and it does get stuttery not lag but stutter.
actually i got Android 14 and ONE UI6.6... it works fine 👍
In general this is A52S in new package. A53 was huge downgrade and huge fail.
Bought mine friday my S6 was too slow after 7 years.
Awesome upgrade!
is it normal that in the first week, the battery drains fast? even i dont use it overnight i still lose about 15 percent when i wake up in the morning
Battery optimization. The phone is learning your charging/usage patterns. It'll plateau in about another week or so.
has your battery life improved?
@@DanielMorenoTV no. The battery life is crap. And the animations are choppy and unreliable.
This happend to me it was dying even tho I wasn't using it for the first week but it's better now
@rishalayne9185 is it ok now ?
In a screen you don't have conteny, you have videos. If you want content but a tangible stuff, like boojs, groceries, etc.
what hiccups.. you must have like 50 applications open all at once😂😂😂😂 I only let maybe five or 10 then I shut them off never a problem it's silky, smooth.. you can also alocate ram from internal storage up to 8 gb ..
My only nit even really a complaint is I wish the phone was like 6.7 inches I like big phones but overall I’m enjoying everything with the phone
