Samsung Galaxy S23 FE vs. Galaxy A54: Which one to get?

[@garyharvey98]

Cheaper price and for me expandable storage makes the choice clear.

[@cla1814]

and battery very important as well.

[@wagenneunundvierzig]

I had the one UI 6 and Android 14 update couple of days ago. The A54 runs smooth & stable

[@winje]

😊 i agree. Very good phone

[@GFourGadget]

If you're on a tight budget then the cheaper A54 is definitely your choice; but if you're willing to spend more then go for the vanilla S23 which is so much better than the FE.

[@garylai1083]

No doubt

[@gastontwo]

Not really

[@magnus00125]

S23 small battery but good efficiency

[@pcarlson214]

Hmm, I don't know. I have the S23, my wife has the S23 FE. I like a compact phone; my wife likes larger screens. Although I agree that by a fairly slim margin that the regular S23 is better than the FE, it's not by all that much. I've had time with both, when I'm using my wife's FE I really don't notice much difference in daily usage. They both are consistently smooth in performance and display quality. I think that which size is your preference may be the determining factor.

[@jesseturner4607]

just a phone

[@Sci-Mon1]

I really want the S23 but it not having an SD card slot just sucks. A54 is it.

[@aboselaiman]

A series all the way 👍A54 ❤ I have it as my main device.

[@davidbezzant9820]

How can they continue to call it the "fan edition" when they dont allow you to use a micro SD card. Awful

[@moatazmady1086]

I bought s23 fe 3 days ago. Such a beast and premium phone. The only con is the leakage of power. If you gonna buy one of them, get the a 54 if you spend a lot of time outdoors. If not, the fe is a very valuable choice.

[@theoriginals9821]

What do you mean leakage of power?

[@moatazmady1086]

@theoriginals9821 The S23 FE's 4500 ma battery dies faster than the A54's 5000 ma battery.

[@BrooklynAlien]

@@moatazmady1086 Thank you!

[@MrCheeseMan420]

​@@moatazmady1086 well the s23 does generally have a weaker battery/lower battery capacity so that is expected It all really depends on what you actually do on the phones It depends if you want a more budget friendly option with some premium features or the full premium experience with significantly better performance and capability

[@viffer94]

Almost bought the A54 earlier this summer but the Verizon compatible version was $500 with no discounts or trade in subsidies available. Not worth it. Glad I waited because I picked up the much better S23 FE for $399 last week. It has full mmWave 5G Verizon compatibility out of the box unlike the standard vanilla unlocked A54. And the FE is a much better deal than the $324 A54 or the $799 S23 during last week’s Black Friday sales.

[@viffer94]

@@Rj-nh1df Doesn’t matter when I made the comment, I bought the phone in November 2023. If you actually live in the U.S. then you know the phone was on sale for $399 back then. Go buy an A54 or an A55. Hell go buy an iPhone if you want, I don’t care. The S23 FE is the better phone for me.

[@1October]

If comparing these 2 models, choosing the a54 is worth it. 👍👍

[@TopiNevalainen-xl5px]

I was looking for a bigger screen size, higher end cameras, Dex, aluminium frame, great display and better than average processing power. I guess it all comes down to personal preferences, but for me the S23 FE is a lot closer to S23+, than A54 is to S23 FE.

[@mmartinu327]

S23 FE is an S22 in a body of A54

[@THEGODDAMNDINOSAUR]

Gotta go with expandable memory, im loving my a54. Just had to buy a audio jack converter that also doublesbas a charger (amazon like 10-15 bux)

Just bought the s23 FE for my partner. He’s using the A50 for more than 5 years now. He really loved the upgrade and the extra features of his new phone. Now he always takes pictures with our cat and doing some work tasks on his phone which he couldn’t do on his old phone before. 🔥

[@Martin915_]

Had the a54 switched to the s23 fe and I can say it's a lot faster than the a54 and it feel of premium quality.

[@johnl6277]

Thank you. I'm debating between these two phones, and your review is very helpful.

[@Michel-r6m]

If the USP's are not for you (S23) the A54 is a solid for phone in daily use.

[@DifexAI]

Just because it has Dex mode, S23 FE becomes the best option. Of course, if you can't get the S23 FE, get the A54

[@baje.official]

The choice is simple. Will you be using your smartphone for regular stuff during the day? Social media, music, browsing the web, calls, text etc.? If yes, then the obvious better option is the A54. The only reason to buy the S23FE is if you have some extra cash to spend. But is it worth to spend some extra unnecessary money, when you know you will be doing the same regular things on your phone? Let me help you, NO! So go ahead and order your brand new A54 and enjoy it! Have a nice day.

[@lenaxshin]

How about gaming? Do you think A54 is better? I am waiting for A55 so I am wondering if S23 Fe will be better than the upcoming A55. Thanks!

[@baje.official]

@lenaxshin In my country S23FE has the same price as S23, so for me is not worth. As far as I know from KZbin, A55 might come with Exynos 2200. If so, it will be a better option that A54 100%. But better wait a little more to see all specs of A55 to be sure. I still think that S23FE is a better option than A55 for gaming (others on KZbin tech are saying the same), but if the price difference is too high, I'd go for A55.

[@vlad.cutuzow]

@@baje.official yes,A55 is exinos 2200...

[@GK-qc5ry]

The A52s was an all time great. Hope Snapdragon has a bunch of cheap 700/7 gens going available that they will offer to Samsung to use.

[@iAfroTech]

Nope because of less software and security updates. It’s important for some people. Depending from where you live and how long you want to keep your phone, Poco F5 is an alternative.

[@Phelixdegreat]

MIUI is annoying by the way. So I'm using a custom AOSP based ROM.

[@iAfroTech]

@@Phelixdegreat 📌i live in Europe so we have global version. I only check and buy for global version of a smartphone. No custom rom for me. I have had a Poco F4 for few months: no issues at all. I just don’t like MIUI. But i think it’s Poco F smartphones are powerful, with good screen, fast charging so it can be a good buy if you like those features and also MIUI. 📌I prefer OneUi, Nothing OS and iOS.

[@muhammadhuzaifaazam]

So the S22 vs S23FE. That's most appropriate

[@pcarlson214]

It is sort of. Unlike the S22 which had a lot of over-heating and short battery life, even with the same SOC, the S23 FE does not share those problems.

[@DnDtv2327]

Thank you very helpful.

[@Joy_Lucky]

FE looks very much like 54, but the difference between S and A is very big. But FE is not worth leaving the normal model and buying it.

[@amazingesther8844]

I had the a54 5g switched to s23fe and the s23fe is definitely faster.

What I want to know is the durability though. Which one is more durable.

[@JollUsARoint]

Thank you buddy I think for the price point I'm going with the a 54

[@King_K_Rool_]

Problem is that the 8 gen 1 in the FE is an absolutely awful cpu which overheats and kills battery life. If you can snag a good deal on a regular s23 or 23+ you would enjoy a far better experience. Its a damn shame Samsung didn't use the 8 gen 2 or at the very least 8 gen 1+ in the FE as it would have been a pretty good buy.

[@montygill2835]

Yes 👍

Watching this comparison video on my Galaxy S20 FE.. I guess I'm still good with keeping mine. Both expandable memory and internal memory chips have a lot of room still. Plus, the battery is still holding strong. I'm good.. I suppose I can wait til the S25 / S26 and their variants come out.

If you're going to go with the A54 you should consider the A34. It turns out that the A34 chip makes the phone faster and have a longer battery life.

What do you mean? Everyone did everything correctly

[@petere4540]

I have the s23fe and it certainly has flagship qualities, as i have the s23 ultra as well. S23fe is good as a budget device. The only extra thing the camera of the ultra has is the extra zoom up to 10x. The battery life is ok, but the chipset is a little dated.

the Exynos version of the s23fe with the blistering hot 2200 is a absolut bummer. s23 base model is still the best choice and i'm very happy with it. the GSM Arena review had a major part in my decision to buy the s23. especially the battery test was important to me!

[@iluvmahname]

23fe is pointless when a54 already exists. Might as well save up and get the s23 which is superior to both

[@pcarlson214]

Not really. The S23 FE is well ahead of the A54, especially the SOC. Yes, the S23 is better, but we have both of these phones and I've got to say that in most usage I'm hard pressed to tell the difference (Unless the large bezels other you).

[@baje.official]

@@pcarlson214Listen. If you’re going for the 23FE, you’re not a gamer for sure, so you just need a good smartphone with good battery life, good looking pictures (possibly not even carrying about them), and you’re using it for social media and basic things / normal use. The only reason for buying the S23FE is that you have some extra cash, that’s it. If you think in “ what do I use it for “ terms, A54 is the better choice, always, simply because you will do the same things (normal use) on either phones.

[@ericong2534]

how to compare? the base 128GB S23 FE is around 200USD more expensive than the 256GB A54, totally different league....

[@pcarlson214]

Yes, got to consider several factors. Keep in mind size! I like compact phones and the 6.1" S23 is perfect for me, but if you want more screen real estate, the A54 has that. In sheer processor power, there is no comparison, the S23's Snapdragon 8 v.2 is far better. Another thing to consider: How long do you plan to own your next phone? Throw in a few android/One UI updates and the A54 will not age as well as the S23. BTW, if you shoot videos often, the OIS with the S23 is far better than on the A54. However, the A54 does have expandable storage. Yep, there is a lot to consider.

[@omarbandonil2123]
