Manufacturer: Samsung
“The Samsung Galaxy A54's colorful design and screen are matched by the colorful photos it takes, and while it's a sensible, good-value buy, it's let down by disappointing battery life.”
Eye-catching colors, It looks like the Galaxy S23, Colorful screen, Speakers sound good, Long software commitment
Battery doesn't last two days, No wireless charging, Camera lacks realism
We've come away from our time with the Galaxy A54 in a bit of a conundrum. On the one hand, we have a device with a great, big, vibrant display and good battery life. It has strong cameras too - to an extent. But at its price range, it has a lot of competition. Look at the Pixel range from Google, and you can either spend similar money (or a little more if there's no sale) and get the Pixel 7 which has excellent cameras and offers a clean, fluid, bloat-free software experience. Or you can spend less and get the Pixel 6a.
Big, vivid and bright display with 120Hz refresh; Strong battery life - almost two days of use; IP67 rated water/dust resistance; Strong main camera;
Can stutter and lag at times; Ultrawide and macro cameras aren't the greatest; Lots of software bloat;
The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G is a decent mid-range phone
Good looking, well-built, mid-range, Bright, 120Hz refresh rate, colour-accurate sAMOLED, Decent day or two battery life., Great Android and One UI upgrade policy 2+4+5 (Warranty/OS/Patches), Better than social media class camera
No charger inbox., Video stabilisation is only available in 1080p., Phone antenna signal strength only for good tower coverage areas, Can’t mount external SSD for live storage
Really awesome? The Galaxy A54 5G is the poster child for Samsung's mid-range devices. Our review highlights upgrades over last year's model, especially the SoC, display brightness, a new sensor for the main camera as well as eSIM support.
very bright and accurate display, hybrid-SIM plus eSIM, fast microSD slot, long-term updates, accurate positioning, dust and waterproof
no DC dimming, slow charging, no wireless charging, slow memory, poor gaming performance, few audio codecs for Bluetooth
The cornerstone of Samsung's 2023 Galaxy A-series mid-rangers packs in some nice upgrades over its predecessor, but battery life claims fall short of what’s promised, and more powerful phones can be had for the same price or less.
Modern Samsung Galaxy aesthetics; Nice camera system improvements; Superb long-term software support
Price hike in the UK versus A53; A little thick and heavy; No wireless charging
