Got the a54 5g last year December, and I've got to say it's the best. Does what most flagship devices does, no lag,great feel and esthetics. Amazing UI.

[@muhammedabusreea6028]

me too

[@aloookis.3156]

yet there are so many many posts about lags and stutters .

[@anthonylawson518]

​@aloookis.3156 I have had mine for a couple weeks...extremely smooth experience. It all depends on how you optimize your experience.

[@milkkolaj]

​@@aloookis.3156Every device lags you know it?

[@davidlopezQ]

Me too. Haptics, speakers, display and front camera are the best features.

[@Hazemann]

Currently I'm using Galaxy A50 since April 2019, almost 5 years ! Really want to change it soonest possible between Galaxy A54 or coming A55. CAN'T WAIT ❤❤❤

[@fe4rLFG]

When the a55 comes out itll be expensive so if your a50 can keep up for like 3 months you should buy a55 depending on the price to performance and if the a50 is slowwing down buy a54 its really good i have one

[@jakey9746]

​@@fe4rLFG He can trade his a50 to lessen the cost. That is what I did to my a53 to A54.

[@LilDins]

Guys, 1. Try unrestric the battery optimization for One UI Home app. 2. Disable offline Bluetooth and Wifi Scanning 3. Turn off 5G if your place doesn't have 5G connectivity. 4. Deep sleep all the apps that you don't open daily and turn off those app notifications too 5. Enable ram plus at 4 GB This is what I did and experienced. My device is super smooth. Battery life is super great. I can get 9 hours of SOT. I noticed this device gets better the more you use it. Same for the battery life. For me, this A54 is a Gem. Great Camera. Great battery life. Great Display. Great Haptics. Great and quality build and design. Good Processor. Many people hate the Soc on this. But for me it's been great and more than enough. I'm using the 8gb Ram version. I'm so happy with it, and still a great phone for 2024!

I've been using a54 for the last 7 months, and I haven't experienced any lag on android 14, It's really smooth. There were a few stutters on android 13.

[@BusymanXD]

For me was the other way around. Smooth on android 13 and laggy on android 14, hopefully one ui 6.1 can fix it. Anyway, it won’t let me edit the Lock Screen since I upgraded to One UI 6, have you had this problem yet?

[@marciandesilva]

@BusymanXD No, I don't have that problem with the lockscreen on Adroid 14 - It's all super smooth now. Honestly, I didn't expect it.

[@Mike.Tech.]

​@@BusymanXDmine is really smooth. But when updating to Android 14 my phone did get stuck in a boot loop, which I had to go to Samsung to fix. Other than that it's good. Mine had 8gb of ram. I see people complaining about stutters, but most of them have the 6gb version

[@BusymanXD]

@@Mike.Tech. yeah, I have the 6gb version, it’s the only one they sell in the USA

[@lefonzopollock4345]

Great review! With an instant sale discount and the trade in of my A41 5g, I got this phone for $225 from Samsung brand new. Best phone for the price. Regular daily activities are just as good as my S23 U. Screen brightness with the AMOLED screen is great. If I didn't need the s-pen for work, I would choose this phone over my A23 U.

[@Chrisferatu1207]

I think it's a great "A" phone. It's in par with the Galaxy S10 when it comes to specs, so that's REALLY GOOD. Most "A" phones are in par with the Galaxy S7 or even the Galaxy S6. However, I'm probably going to get a job very soon as I'm now 16, and I'm going to try to save up for a Galaxy S23 plus or ULTRA by 2025.

[@FlintG]

I use this as my main device for now and had it since last year. I just recently got the android 16 update too and its been pretty great!. Might be using it for a year or more until I can get one of the ultra series.

@@PSammy15 I've been doing a ton of soul searching and in every review video I've seen the phone has seemed pretty good and even gamed well on medium or high settings depending on the game too, it did COD medium at 90fps one review said.

[@Zenguy89]

@@SolidSnake4Ever2003did you get the a54?

[@SolidSnake4Ever2003]

@@Zenguy89 unfortunately not yet, I've been doing even more soul searching, since, my area has been having major internet outage and speed issues for weeks, so, the previous tracfone locked a54's I found cheap wouldn't work on the Visible by verizon unlimited plan with hotspot I plan on getting in a few days to be able to hotspot my computer to if the internet is out. I actually found unlocked 3rd gen iphone SE with 100% battery in pristine condition for $199. I can find maybe a Moto android new for 20 bucks cheaper but may just go for the beast cpu and years of support in the iphone since Moto's don't have long support cycles. It's tough being a frugal tech enthusiast LOL. Some would love to pay ~$350+ the unlocked a54 goes for, but, personally, I'd rather save the $150 and just get the iphone, same cpu as the iphone 13 and non pro 14 too, still very stout. I've seen unlocked good condition used pixel 7a's for about ~$235 or so. I'm just that frugal I'd save the 35 bucks and still get the iphone lol

[@sairvinginthestacks]

I just switched from a Pixel 6A to the A54. My Pixel was dropping its network connection. I did all the recommended troubleshooting, nothing worked. Turns out it's a common issue with the Pixel phones. I bought the A54. It stays connected to the network. No more dropped calls, missed text messages, or missed calls. I've had Motorolas as well. No complaints about this phone yet. My employer provides me with an Iphone 11. I hate it.

[@DENIVLOG05]

how to change the clock widget?

[@SolidSnake4Ever2003]

I'm in a huge conundrum, my choice is down to either this a54 5g or moto g stylus 5g 2023, both have 6gb ram, the Moto has more internal storage at 256gb vs 128 on the a54. There's just been one too many people saying the a54 lags and stutters for my liking though to plop the money down. Even if in reviews it has a bit worse stock camera, I could probably find some gcam port online that'd work with the moto due to it having a snapdragon cpu. For every one person that claims their a54 is smooth and has never lagged there's many that'll say it does. After using flagship type cpu over the past couple years (LG V20, V35, G8, then iPhone SE 2020), lags and stutters would annoy me to no end. I've been around the block with budget androids back in the day and kept a 2gb ram Moto E4 in ~2017-2018 running pretty decent with a weekly cache wipe, restart, greenify use, and SD Maid run once a week...surely MUCH better specs these days than that thing could do social media, browse online/youtube, text/call/take the occasional pic no problem. It sucks since the screen of the a54 is beautiful and bright and camera takes good enough pics to me, the cpu just brings it down to me. I just can't justify a ton for a phone these days, I honestly think even the iphone 12's are too much for what they are, and the batteries are several years old now and eroded. I'd say I'm a mid user, I do the basics but really want them to be smooth. My sister has had a snapdragon 480 Moto g Stylus 5g 2021 for several years now and with the animations and stuff set to 0.5x speed in the android dev options I did, the phone is pretty peppy...the vanilla android type skin moto uses helps them a lot

[@AjeyChandhan]

Currently using A52s, what I like about Samsung is their software support is excellent, my device has received monthly updates and one UI 6 which will be its last major update. However this A54 has similar performance to A52s and my device does have a lot of stutter even in day to day usage and suffers even more when work profile is enabled. They really need to optimize their UI in terms of smoothness. Battery life is dependable, a solid day with 20% remaining at the end of the day with usage consisting of streaming content, browsing and work messages. Camera is okay as well. Hope A55 improves upon the UI smoothness, if they can do that, they'll have a solid offering. It's 2024, janky animations and stutters at this price point range is a major let down.

[@levipb1403]

Same. It's not because of the phone, it's because of Samsung's software

[@paultasker7788]

Try using something like nova launcher. Entire phone feels quicker since I swapped it over.

[@fantasy6408]

OneUI is already optimized. Just turn off the ram plus. Your phone run smoothly especially on 8gb ram international version.

[@AjeyChandhan]

@@fantasy6408 Ram Plus is already turned off, followed other reddit threads for improving performance like Good Guardians with App Booster, disabling battery optimization for navigation bar, launcher and more. Yes, this phone has 6GB RAM, that might explain why the experience is not as good compared to 8GB. But also the storage being UFS 2.1 may also impact app opening and switching performance. A55 is rumored to have LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, hopefully these will improve day to day performance.

[@user-rt5iw8hi1r]

The question to should you pick this device up is easily answered by Samsung themselves They don't want to make the a55 available in the US because it directly competes with their flagship and it is taking sales away from their pricier phones because people realize the a54 is 90% of what the s23 is for half the cost... It doesn't have big bezels don't listen to people soon as you throw a case on it the vessels are gone anyways wireless charging is slow it has a great build quality great cameras great performance great battery life wonderful display and updates for years The best MIDI going

[@akasuna91]

Is this a good buy for my father who has been using an iPhone 6s plus.? His phone is dying and I can't afford to get him the latest iPhone (a bit of a headache to teach him a new ecosystem but I have been using Samsung so I think it's a pretty easy transition) And the cheapest iPhone here is still a considerable amount pricier than a54. IP 11 I think.
