S21 Ultra is a better smartphone in every way, it will be updated another 3 years, currently it costs $500-$600, I prefer to pay that, have a high-end experience, resell it at $200-$300 in 2-3 years and buy an S23 / S24 Ultra which by then will also be around $500-$600.
the A54 is more than enough for everybody. We just overpay for the flex.
The A54 is so underrated. I think people who don't have the phone just see the world "exynos" and they assume slow and laggy, but this processor is pretty good. I noticed some hiccups when the phone was learning my usage patterns, but it's buttery smooth right now. It's obviously not as smooth as a flagship but it's definitely smooth enough for me to call this phone a great mid-range phone.

I'm pretty sure when the phone is new, it still needs to work out the kinks until it runs to its full potential. Most people just get suckered into buying the latest and greatest (most expensive) when 90% of people don't need a phone that is overpowered and would be fine with the a54.

Exynos had three main issues. 1. Lower Benchmarks than SD 2. Heating Issues 3. High Power Consumption. A54 Exynos 1380 has none of these issues. 1. Comparable to SD778G of the A73/A52S 500k+ Antutu Score 2. Heating issues fixed by latest patch by Samsung 3. More battery efficient than SD778G - 10+ hours of SOT is unheard of

I can tell you Exynos is really bad from my experience with Note 7 FE and S10. Battery drain so fast, so fast getting hot, performance and camera quality is not good as their Snapdragon counterpart. You can see comparison S21 Exynos vs Snapdragon version, the camera quality like night and day. I hate Samsung did this to consumer especially with their flagship consumer. I don't have issue they use it on mid range, but when it come to flagship I don't think I wanna buy S series with Exynos again. They promised every year the Exynos will be better, but in reality they don't deliver. Rumors say S24 will use Exynos 2400 in their phone which my country always have Exynos, not the Snapdragon one unlike US, China and S. Korea. If it's true, I won't upgrade my Z Flip3 with S series again, I will look to other brand like Apple or maybe chinese phone or just giving up and just use mid range.

Read my last comment, what an ignorant point of view about N7 and S10 - those days are gone. Exynos is much better and energy efficient than Snapdragon now, latest 5nm chip is 500k+ antutu which is close to SD778G and 590k+ of SD7G1 If you have not experience this phone personally then no need to blurt out opinions.@@dikkado

This just MADE my decision. Thank you 😊
I bought A54 2 weeks ago, I have the white model, and it looks exactly like the S23 in this video. The case I was sure was metallic 😂 and now from this video, I'm learning is not. The performance so far has been excellent, I don't need a super sensible phone to switch on every time I accidentally touch or throw it in my bag. The screen colors are amazing and that is my favorite selling point. Camera looks good, at night has very good performance...I would hVe preferred a bit more of warm colors for selfies but that's it
I like having removable storage. My phone needs are modest, so I don't need the latest and greatest. I like having a good camera, and the A54 delivers on that front. I also don't much like the idea of spending over $1000 for a phone, when I spend about that much on a new computer every 6 years.
So me & the wife are in this situation right now 😂 She has the A54 & I, the S23+, sure there are differences here & there & the S23+ is faster & more responsive, but that is knitpicking, for casual users the difference ain'tthat far. I reckon that the A54 is a bang for the buck, great all around phone (hard pill to swallow indeed) but hey, if you have the budget the S23+ is great.. Nice comparison! cheers ☕️
I currently use the a13 5g. For a budget phone its pretty good. Only complaint is video isn't stable but it takes great pictures. When it's time to update, I'll grab the a54. I don't see the needto buy flagship phones. Sure they may be a tad better, but samsung is doing a great job making budget phones.
I've watched a few comparison videos for these phones and this is by far the best. No bias, just straight facts. Great job
After spending ages to decide between the 2. I went for the s23. Amazing phone. Perfect size, So smooth and fast. Camera superb and unreal battery life. Very pleased

100 % agreed with this review. I owe both s23 ultra and a54. I was really surprised about the 1x photos of the main camera on a54 - it is as good as on s23 ultra. Other scenarios of course struggle, but I know that camera on a54 will fulfill the needs of 90% people. Second surprise was the speaker quality. The speaker on a54 is so close to s23 ultra, sounds really nice. And the third nice thing - the quality of the display, they really improved it and made it brighter on a54. I can tell for sure, that a54 is a great phone for its price. Moreover, it is now cheaper that the initial price (bought it recently for 350 usd instead of recommended 500 usd in Switzerland)

Definitely the S23+ over the A54. I moved from S9+ to the A54 and was disappointed with the unresponsive performance of the A54. The screen is lagging at the 1080 resolution for most tasks, not just in video games. Outside in the sun I could not swipe the A54 to even answer calls. Everything from battery life to screen responsiveness is so much better with the S23+. I am so happy that I was able to return the A54 and buy the S23+. These phones are not even close in performance for my basic use.

Excellent review Shane absolutely brilliant.
Thanks for posting this! Would you please answer a technical question about this phone? I've had this A54 for about 3 months now and I just noticed that the Message+ Image Search icon no longer appears in the "Attach Media" option when I select (+) to add an image (i.e. - GIF, Video, MEMEs) from online. The only options now are "Glympse", "Places", "Replies", 'Gallery", and a couple of others. How do you retrieve that blue-colored Search button that was originally in there?
How do you set up VM on the A 54? When I press number 1 on the keypad, which is supposed take yu set up VM, I get a voice that says, "The person you're trying to reach is unavailable - please try later."
same here . The price for A54 has dropped to 305 euros while S23 at 585 euros. Less than half. I chose S23. For the better, more bright screen, and that SoC which is second to none. It was my only chance to get a Snapdragon specially made for Samsung. Exynos is fine just fine and I'm sure that next year S24 might have a very competitive Exynos SoC but I'd rather have an S series in Europe with a Snapdragon inside. A top notch SoC. This is by far the most expensive phone I've bought so far. But for a SD 8 gen 2 for 585 euros I gave it a go. Another plus for me is the size and the weight. Samsung managed more in a smaller form factor. And that requires serious engineering. So yes S 23 is a flagship perhaps my last flagship. I won't be getting one again foe a very very long time!

I don't remember you saying... what is the distance zoom in quality? I have a galaxy a20 and zooming in for things like award ceremonies of my kids is horrible. They are pixilated and blury. I can barely tell anything in the pic. Which is good or better?
I was wondering if all A54 s overheat from time to time? Cause mine certainly does.
The only complain I have about the A54 is the lack of optical stabilization at FullHD 60 FPS. It's honestly the only drawback for me. Is this a hardware thing, or could an update add this feature?

The S23 plus is definitely the one to choose if looking for 3X optical zoom.
Hey, good comparison. I would add that the screen is probably sharper. That is the PPI is higher on the a54 then the s23 plus because the screen is a bit smaller. So if you do a lot of reading on your phone like with a Kindle app which I do, the a54 is really the better choice at least for that. And also yeah save a ton of money
Hi I have heard that the A54 does not take as good as night photos? I like the price and the SD memory card which you did not cover in your summary.
My husband needed a new phone and I managed to get him to switch over to android. I too have been looking for a new phone and I've been going back and forth over the flagship and the mid range.

Thank you for this video. I have a note 10+ currently and have been kicking myself between the S23+ and A54. Ultimately I think the S23+ is the better buy. For me the wireless charging is a must, dex has been a very fun feature to use, and seeing some of your camera comparisons with the better image stabilization and zoom helped rationalize my decision. If the A54 had wireless charging for even $50 more, It would be very tough to pass up.

That cream color really looks classy and elegant OH MY
I have had the a54 for almost a month now. agree to all your points and would like to add, using it as a work phone along with my personal S22U. AMOLED screen is bright and pleasing but I immediately noticed a difference vs the S22U or even the note10+ am replacing the a54 with. the contrast is not as punshy, and colors feel shallower. Also, viewing angles are atrocious! the new wider aspect ratio is great for all apps, BUT youtube, as pinch to zoom now, crops even more into the video. the display IS better than a lot of phones out there, but the samsung flagships just have brilliant displays. I'm getting similar battery life, and with power save mode on, it easily gets to the 2 days mark. way better than my s22U. I made a routine to switch to 3g when connected to my home wifi as reception there is weak and noticed quite a bit of difference in battery life. nonetheless battery life is way more than sufficient. the haptics are an upgrade from older buzzing a-series but still doesn't feel as solid as a flagship. remarkably, the speaker is quite good, better than a s22u in lower frequency tones. finally performance was decent. I was expecting bad things from the exynos 1380, but 1000/2900 in geekbench6 was great, and UI is smooth. I got it as samsungs cheapest phone that gets monthly updates and quite like it so far. but I miss the spen a lot, also a slightly curved display on a boxy device is peak design IMHO. will probably go back to a used "note" phone for work when I replace this eventually. I kinda wish samsung supported spen on a54 tbh, not necessarily with a spen inside it, akin to the s21U.

I have the samsung galaxy a31, I'm thinking of buying the a54, is it worth it in your opinion?
ill take the a54 without ah second thought....why pay 400 extra for basically the same phone
As a person who has a low income A54 is my choice. not only it saves you money but it makes you awesome with it features haha. I went to the store earlier and learned about their pricing when it comes to installment which is pretty because you can have the phone you want even you don't have the cash to get it. I really preferred the s23+ because it's pretty damn awesome which I could put myself to burden😅 if I have the guts to get it for 24 months installment😂 but I don't want to put myself in a situation where I will always have to think about a monthly debt to pay. So I'll just go with A54 for now😊 Thanks Shane👍
thank you for the video. It would have been nice though if you would have kept one phone on the left and one on the right. It was very difficult for me to find out which one was which, because you changed it very often. Or a case for one of them would have done the trick too. Appart fro that - thanks for the infos
I was deciding between these two, bought s23. I had A series phones in past. I'm power user so A series felt like restriction. Also for me A series phones are good for like two years, then they get slower and choppy.
Seeing Old School Runescape on both homescreens made my heart happy ❤
The S phones even the S22 from last year are just more responsive and fluid in day to day use than the A-Series. I have an A51 and tried the A54 and S23 side by side in a store and I noticed the same micro lags in the A54 again even tho it's brand new. So I think I will go with a S22 or S23 as my next phone.

I have the s22 plus and would say the s series is definitely worth the price :)
I work outside and on my phone a lot. Mapping. The only thing that kills a lot of budget phones for me is what the more expensive phones offer in terms of peak brightness. I can see this not really being an issue for a lot of people but it’s the ONLY thing golden back these phones for me. Don’t get me wrong 1000nits on a54 is a lot. But the s23 peak brightness of ~1600-1700 is absolutely nuts.
Bro i traded in my a52 5g for the a54 5g and total price with the galaxy bud lives i got too came to $300 after tax. Best phone i've owned to date. I used to run an s8 and an s6 edge at that.

How are you finding it? Currently using the A52 and looking to upgrade
I prefer s23 for Compact tiny & mighty 😍
Should we worry about the white screen of death? I've had it with my S20 and I've since been apprehensive about purchasing the S23. Kindly share your opinion 🙏
I buy flagship because I plan to use my phones until they stop getting security updates. Flagship specs will age better.
Got the S23 for free from Verizon. Interesting to hear that if I had to buy one of the two the cheaper one would have been a good choice. I upgraded from the s9 if you can believe that

As I did. S9 to s23. Mid rangers just can't really compare. I'm always of the opinion to buy a previous year flag ship than the current year midranger
The one thing I want is now sadly no longer available. Where is the 3.5mm jack? I have Bluetooth headphones but nothing beats a 3.5mm jack in my opinion.

Hey Shane, I don't know if you would have the answer to this but how does the A54 compare to the S21 FE? Looking to upgrade from an S9, and been overwhelmed with the amount of different options. Where I live, the S21 FE is $100 more than the A54 with the same RAM and storage specs.

You're upgrading from an S9, so either choice is going to feel like a huge upgrade. Save that extra $100 and buy yourself a nice case for your A54

I have the S21 FE and my daughter has the A54. We are not super tech people. we take pictures videos text and talk. Really not much of a difference both are good phones.
Thanks for the review.
My S23 is on the way. Can't wait.
Awesome video! I ordered the A54 for my mum and I hope she like's using it ❤
whats the SD card availability & performance?
I got the A34 and honestly there is nothing I feel I might be missing - the Mediatek is surprisingly fast, no hiccups whatsoever in the few months I've had it. The camera could be better (I still think my old S7 was the perfect shooter for me), and it could be slightly smaller and lighter, but otherwise it's a pocket laptop. Oh, and I constantly get more than 10 hours of screen on time regardless of what I do (no heavy gaming, though, just casual). I bought it for a little over EUR 250 and I'm sure the S23 isn't three times or four times better (for the price tag it carries).
Hey Shane the Samsung Galaxy S23 and the Samsung Galaxy A54 phones just look whole like each other.
is there e-sim option in A54??
I use the A54 and i love it 😅
Right now I'm being offered a trade-in credit for the s23 bringing it just $80 above the a54, which is what I was originally planning to buy. My current phone has 128gb and an expandable sd slot though and I tend to really push the capacity. Should I still stick with the a54?

For 80 bucks, the s23 is the better option.
What's the wallpaper in the a54?
5:39 which controller is this?
I agree. Had I needed to pay list price for the S23 I would have gone with the A54, however, as with a lot of folks who have T-Mobile, or other such carriers, often the price differential is much less, as it was in my case (with a trade-in). How you buy your phones can make the choice go either way.

And over night the S23 is free with a new two year plan at T-Mobile verses the A54 is still $99 with a new two year plan. Go figure? My only quandary is that I really wanted that SD slot option. Will I give it up for the souped up S23? TBD
Gracias por probar los galaxys❤ los amo , saludos 🇵🇪✌🏼
I'm watching this on A54 and I have a friend who have S23. We've both used our phones for over a month and let me you, the A54 is as good as the S23 Most of the time! And for that price, it's a sweet deal!
