I can only confirm all of this. I have been using the A54 intensively every day for more than a year now. And since the update to OneUI6.1 it has been running 99% smoothly. I play games with it without any problems - even if it's not its strong point. But for RR3, for example, it's easily enough. But what amazes me most is how good it is once you're in the usual applications in everyday life (YT, Insta, Amazon, Netflix, etc.). There is no difference to any flagship. In addition, the S24 series is identical in design and with my silicone case you can't see any difference and it is well protected. The people who are badmouthing the A54 have never owned one themselves and are complaining about the processor. However, I have found that not only does it work well, but it never gets as hot as some Snapdragons. And anyone who believes this nonsense about things slowing down over time has no idea anyway. The 1380 was brand new last year and Samsung has only gradually adapted the software to it - to the delight of the people who are now buying an A35.

The same bs people used to say about the A54 they are now saying about the A55😅

Just got my A54 today, the 256GB/8GB one. It's really good on my opinion

​@Wshm10 my battery has gotten a bit worse but it'll get me to 7 or 8pm which I'm home from college by then so I'm fine with that samsing just need to improve the battery life a bit

Came from a 13 mini and have to say its a breath of fresh air. The mini had a serious issue with not lasting. I always had to carry a charger, with the a54 i have not had that issue. I restart my phone weekly to do the battery optimization and app optimization. 512 sd card inserted and also have google storage so phone does not get full and busy with apps. Samsung music being free and downloading my music has also been great vs paying for apple music monthly. Not being locked into ios and able to customize my phone the way i want just works. I switched all of my apple products for samsung and wow just having all of my stuff on my other devices quickly vs using airdrop its been a godsend.

Loving my a54 🤍 a fab phone

It's nice to be able to use a phone that feels as premium as this without a case because of the bezels and the low price point. Everyone always hates on the bezels, but they should try using a phone that doesn't have bezels without a case. They're going to get accidental screen presses all the time. I agree that the Android 14 made it better. It really feels like a flagship while doing everyday tasks. That being said, I wouldn't recommend it for gaming or video editing. It also occasionally lags during random times. Better battery life, a better processor, and a headphone jack would make this the ideal midrange smartphone. The A54 is a great phone, but not perfect. The A34 on the other hand doesn't have a lot of the issues that this phone has so that's probably the best A series phone when you take price into consideration in my opinion. The A54 is great for the average consumer who wants the look and feel of a flagship so it might be the ideal phone for some people. It's not the ideal phone for me though. Edit: I've actually been using this as my daily driver for a week now and I'm not getting any lags or stutters that I got with previous versions of Android. It looks like they finally optimized the Exynos processor after all of these updates.

​@@avatarspirit57They were slowly gutting out the A series for quite some time. No more A73 successor and jack is gone starting from A53. Let's just assume sdcard will be next. Samsung has been trying for quite some time to make sd cards and headphone jack look like poor people's features as their combo can only be seen on lame low end A series.

I'm here to tell everyone. I had the Samsung Galaxy a54 5g and upgraded to the base model s23 and honestly after the One UI 6.1 update this s23 glitches, it makes notification sounds when i have no messages, calls, etc, while playing videos like prime video, netflix, basically streami f services it plays in slow motion for some reason then i have to pause it or swipe the notification panel down then up and it stops it for about 5 minutes or so. My point is, is that just because the a54 is cheaper does not mean that its less of a phone. The only thing the a54 is missing is a couple of features, aluminum frame. I would trade this s23 back for an a54 any day of the week. I didnt have this many problems with the a54 at all

A54 is awesome. Thanks for your reviews. Helped me to make the initial choice.

I have an A54 and an S23 Uktra.. Its no S23 Ultra, but its more than good enough for the majority of non techies that must have the latest and greatest.

I've been using the a54 for 8 months now, it is still working quite well

I have one coming in a couple of days! Granted, I am going back to Android after yearssss of apple and I'm coming from an iPhone12 but the battery on this thing is terrible and this looked to be the best phone to get that actually looked like it would be the same and better in some aspects. Can't wait and thanks for these reviews!

This phone is still, and i think will be, one of the best when the price stays under the release price. I‘d really love to see you taking a spin with the Nothing Phone 2a, just got it and i‘m both, amazed and a lil confused by it, maybe you have something to say about that phone since it‘s also a solid budget/midrange device tho :D

In my first few weeks of purchase this phone used to.get hot but after using it more and the phone learnt the usage patterns theres no heating and its super smooth no lag and no issues

I love this device lol ... i use it everyday... i'm gonna wait another year for A56 and see if it's worth upgrading and if not i probably keep it another year... i don't see the point in me upgrading to A55 it's really nothing special to me and I mean i'm a very basic user ... some reddit here and there , web browsering i play music on it the most lol and i use the phone as a phone and text people oh i do discord and also other social media, but honestly thats about it.. it runs well the 6gb to me is plenty since i dont run much on it at a time i play Final fantasy games on it and it works quite well idk... i honestly can say this A54 been of the best android phone i had since my sony xperia 10 mach III as i really love that phone as welll, but this A54 gives me that vibe and its a solid phone.

I have this phone ,it has 4 years upgrade, and I'll keep mine till 2026 and use it more then my s22 ultra till I get the s25 ultra next year.

Does anyone know what "other files" is when you click on manage storage? I have 8 GB of "other files" and for some reason that number keeps going up. I intentionally bought this phone for the SD card slot because I know that the system and apps take up a lot of storage. I also have a lot of pictures and videos which are all on my SD card. Not sure why my my phone is automatically saving things to the internal storage despite me not having a lot of apps. I wish I knew what the "other files" are so I can delete them and clear up storage.

That's exactly the color of my current A54. Lime.

I bought two a54s 5 days ago and on both of them I notice that they have a slightly grainy display, given that I'm coming from an LCD, it's the first time I'm using an AMOLED, but it's something I noticed immediately and I don't understand why no one talks about it in the reviews. Is it a factory defect or is it normal?

The A54 has been a solid backup device for me. The exynos processor has never been a issue for me. Yeah it doesn't open apps as Quick as My flagship phone but I can live with that

I have A54 too. And one UI 5.1 was running better on my device because in one UI 6, Animations run with a bit delay and I don't know why

Well, I'm sending this comment using my A54. I've used this phone for the past 11 months and all I can say is, that it's been a great all around phone. Yes, for the first 2 or 3 months I did get a stutter and a bit of a lag here and there but after that specially after the 6.0 update it's been awesome. Still got 3 OS updates and 4 security updates to go. I'm really happy with this phone and I do recommend it to anyone looking for a good phone that will keep on rollin for years to come! 👍🏽💯

Being a Samsung user since 2020 i can assure Samsung A series phones get better over the time and holds its smoothness. My 2 year old A52s runs like butter. I have doubts whether any Chinese midranger could hold itself over the time despite having a superior chipset compared to exynos.

I'd say no but the problem is unlike iOS, apps on android has issues with optimization no matter what phone you use flagship or midrange if it's not well-known developers have no interest to fix issues within apps and this applies for most popular apps too. Sometimes they send an update and it is ruining the experience until another update. This is tiring if you're heavy in tech, each year a major OS update comes and you wait for your favorite apps to update. But overall, no problem.

Remember, the A54 was so good in 2023, that Samsung doesn't want to sell it's successor in the USA for 2024 because the A54 took away sales from an "S" series midrange flagship (S23 FE).

The a54 performance is good 80% of the time, but 20% of the time, it's really bad. Chinese phones are smoother for the same price. Good camera and one ui is great except for the weird stutters. Really good screen and hardware. I would not game on. 7/10 phone
