Samsung Galaxy A54 5G VS Galaxy S21 FE 5G: Best Midrange Phone Battle!

[@chRisR87]

I've had both, just switched from S21 FE to A54 and I have to say I prefer the A54. Feels just as quick and battery life is waaaayyy better. I dont play games and don't really take pictures all that much, so A54 is perfect for me.

[@sagarbhosale2822]

Thanks❤

[@afanasibushmanov7463]

Same here. The A54 is the better phone in my opinion despite having worse specs and being worse on paper. Only people who actually used both phones as their daily drivers can make a fair comparison and for me the A54 is better.

[@mihirojha4475]

​@@afanasibushmanov7463 for someone who wants more flagship features like a pro grade camera along with the flagship chipset of 2021 at the cost of battery life, S21 FE is the way to go. But for people who don't use their phones for camera or performance oriented stuff then A54 is an excellent phone as it's got great battery life due to having a vanilla chipset.

[@UberrimaFide5]

I was considering the two and ultimately went with the A54. The A54, being a newer phone, is more future proof than the S21 FE. It even has eSim support for whenever you travel internationally. Not to mention, it has more years of software support from Samsung. Honestly, I'm not that much of a performance stickler after coming from the Poco F3, and I think that the Poco F3 is a tad bit overpowered for how I use it as a daily driver. That being said, I'm happy with a top-tier mid-range device over flagships and the A54 hits the spot for me. It has the premium feel of a flagship at a relatively affordable cost.

[@user-gd1mm7gw8k]

im sure u only say u got both, u try to get more trust that way.. good try tho. Have to be retard if someone is buying A54 if they allredy have S21 Fe

[@JonatasAdoM]

@bencetakacs4461 My only concern is the amount of complaints about it. Then again it could mean that the device sold really well and thus more people reported issues with it. After all I've also heard personally of an A21 that lost its back lid. I really want a smartphone to last like my J7 Prime still fights on well into 2023. I am devided between headaches and a smartphone that will be slow around 2029.

[@memecritic5539]

@@JonatasAdoM Me personally i would take the s21 fe. Nowadays you wont find a phone with a fast chip processing like snapdragon 888 for only 200 bucks. Also the fact that s21 is just lightweight and easy to carry anywhere. It’s the perfect phone for me. Not too big but not too small either and it fits right in my pocket

[@brkyol3383]

The S21 Fe has better hardware (camera and processor, plus wireless charging is a nice touch), but given the SD card, battery life and timeliness of the A54, does it make more sense to choose it? Note: There is of course a more important point: The price of older Samsung devices is dropping very fast and the battery life of devices sitting on the shelf is decreasing relatively fast. So I think again and again about longevity.

[@donalpaccio4233]

I have had my S21 FE since the day it came out. This week, I was comparing it in store with A54, and it's still a slightly better phone. It's a flagship, not a mid range. The battery is 500mAh smaller than A54, but the photos and videos are way better. The image stabilization is amazing in S21FE, and you can't compare the result with A54 quality. The image is more gentle and not too fake crisp where the details are ove-exaggerated like it is the case in A54. However, The screen in A54 is brighter and overall more pleasant to look at, when the two phones are side by side. I like the more modern and upgraded design of A54 as Ive always found the camera bulb on S21 and s22 models relly ugly and not esthetic. But, no matter the model, you'll alwayswant to get a case and a screen protector. At this point, I dont think I'll be buying a new phone in the next 2 years. I would rather invest again in the S range but Samsung needs to give a way better battery life for me to splurge, at this point 850€ on a phone, as they don't make the FE edition anymore.

What has caught me the most in these review videos for the A54 is that the sides are made out of metal, which they aren't. They are made out of plastic that is made to look like a matte aluminum to make it feel more premium when you hold it.

[@andrewa182]

Plastic or metal are the best material for the back and frame of the phone. Glass always cracks eventually even with a case. S21 Ultra constantly had to be repaired due to the thin glass back

[@pcarlson214]

I have the s23 and love it, however, I've never understood the use of glass on the back of a phone. I had the s21, and for the life of me I can't say that the glass back on my s23 feels any "better", and plastic is far more durable and forgiving in a fall. I case all my phones anyway and don't throw 'em around, but I actually do prefer either plastic or metal for the back on a phone.
