i wanna say that you're straight to the point when it comes to tech reviews, not like the other tech reviewers, they usually start introducing their self first or have an intro but you, not wasting time, review instantly. i love that, earned my subscription

[@jimcabezola3051]

I like these models more than the present high-end ones, because I can still use SD cards in them

[@KevinRiazi]

I like the fact that I can move less commonly used apps to the micro SD, instead of deleting them. The price difference between A54 and S23+ is massive too. For those of us who want a larger screen, this phone is a winner!

@@KevinRiazi Agreed! I still rock my ancient Samsung A10e (and my 3 Samsung tablets) in this way.

[@morm2173]

That's why i kept my s10 plus and still use it and gave my a53 to my mother the xynos performance to me wasn't satisfactory like the s23 ultra. The snapdragon is better and also I have the tab s8

I'm upgrading from a galaxy a30s to the a54. I still don't use the a54 as my daily driver, so I get 2 and half days of battery life out of it. The performance has been amazing as well for me, no stutters or lags, and feel amazing coming from a already laggy phone

Hi please is the camera good enough ?

@@tec2846 check out camera comparison tests on yt. samsung's cameras are some of the best on the market and while it does over-saturate a bit compared to google and iphone , the low light settings kinda make up for it imo. couple that with the great battery, the a54 is a top contender for my new device. im still waiting for the pixel 7a announcement though

@@Lereevschalkwyk Oh it's worth it belive me. The A53 had so many problems even with simple things. I had terrible stutter on mine when just browsing the web or starting apps. Even the fingerprint sensor was lagging. All of this is gone with the A54. Everything feels buttery smooth now :)

I got an A54 with 8gb of ram and 128gb of storage here in the middle east for 375 USD. I'm satisfied with it, hopefully it'll last me 5 years. I don't take many pictures, all I use my phone for is navigation when I'm in the car and youtube. The screen is really smooth with the 120hz refresh rate. The only thing I wish it had is wireless charging but I don't think I'd use that much anyway. Also the A54 is really thick, suprisingly thick, I came from an A52 and this thing is way thicker.

[@sarbajit_de]

Wow!! Thanks for an incredible review after having tested the phone so patiently and under different conditions👍. I ordered the phone on the date of launch in my country and have been using this for almost 12 days. Got the 8GB 256 GB variant and it's pleasantly surprising me with every passing day. ❤

[@ahmadshareef6893]

Have you experienced any lags or bugs, how good was the phone ?

[@sarbajit_de]

​@@ahmadshareef6893 i believe Kevin has done a pretty solid job of exhaustively reviewing the phone. I would agree to what he has mentioned based on my experience so far. Also I got the 25 watt fast charger free and a heavily discounted Galaxy buds live. So it was good deal for me. I haven't noticed any sluggishnes till no. But again I dont play games on my phone. Apart from that used it for pretty much everything. The primary optics , the build , the sceen , the expandable storage upto 1TB, the battery and the software support are truly the highlights here.

[@twoone7159]

​@ahmad shareef if you play heavy games for a long time the phone will start to lag a bit it's annoying that all, overall performance is amazing.

Been heavily using my A70 for 3.5 years now. I gotta say that she's been very good to me, but she's getting old, slow, and 128gb doesn't cut it anymore. This willl probably be my next phone. I'll miss the headphone jack though. Might wanna get a dongle if I plan on connecting it to my guitar amp. Anyway, amazing review. Straight to the point, no nonsense. Earned a follower.

[@MiguelMitchelMichiel]

@@curiousme8793 Oh yeah, the A70 was very good to me. I would've probably kept it a few months longer if my charging port didn't start acting up.

Trust me, i upgraded my Huawei Nova 3 to the A73 for a year now and i absolutely hate it... It's perfect for longevity, it lasts the day but even I've started to notice the slight lag/stutters, and weird pixelation/grainyness of the screen/colour (though a restart fixes this issue). The selfie/rear camera has awful colouring (ie, some reds look really saturated red and some pinks look nude/brown, yellows can look green)- to the point where I'm thinking about replacing the phone. I can't speak much of the A54, but I can def recommend not getting the A73.

About the update, Samsung confirmed to give 4 major Android updates which means it will have Android 17. Yay to that 😅 Anyway, really enjoying your review. Nice work, man! Greeting from Indonesia 😃👍

Getting 4 major Android updates is a good thing if Samsung fix any new bugs. Samsung are probably a lot better at fixing bugs but Nokia are seriously bad at this. A few years ago I reluctantly switched to Apple because of this issue.

I came from Samsung Galaxy A51. After three years of usage of A51, A51 seemed to me slow and slow to respond. A54 is faster and more responsive. I was scared because a lot of bad reviews about the Exynos processor used in the A54, but those reviews were not true. A54 seems to me a little bit thicker than I would like to have.

got a white A54 too and I concur the battery is amazing!! got the 8/256GB cause I need dual sim, but I have to say. the display is what disappointed me slightly. been a Note user since note 3 and got the a54 to replace my n10+ as work phone. the difference in display is quite noticeable. not all AMOLEDs are made equal. also haptics are way better than before but still no S-series like. but on the positive side the feel of the phone is delightfully premium also the speakers are OMG. Try to watch a video of a V8 car in the a54 and again with an older Samsung, even comparing it with my personal use S22U you clearly hear low frequency notes on the A54 that aren't just there on the s22u!

[@Xevos701]

Yeah not all AMOLEDs are made equal. The Galaxy Note 10+ has a flexible AMOLED screen while the A54 has a rigid OLED. Flexible OLEDs have superior vieveing angles and superior colour contrast

It's time to put glass or gelatin on it for screen protection

[@futurafrlx8874]

Just bought this phone in addition to my iPhone 14 Plus. It's really nice and not much slower, the camera is good, reminds me of iPhone XR with its quality. Haven't used Android since Xiaomi Mi 8 and that was horrible, especially MIUI. The last Samsung I had was running TouchWiz and drained the battery in 4 hours, so that's a welcome change. The only thing I don't like is how heavy A54 is. My iPhone 14 Plus which is MUCH lighter than A54.
