Design and Display:
The Galaxy A54 5G has a sleek and modern design, with a plastic back with a matte finish. It features a 6.4-inch Full HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is a nice touch for a mid-range device. The display is vibrant, and the colors are accurate, but it could be more brightly than some of the other Samsung devices.
Camera:
A 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 5MP macro camera are all included in the quad-camera configuration found on the rear of the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G. In well-lit areas, the camera performs effectively, but poorly in less-lit areas. A 32MP sensor powers the front-facing camera, which produces respectable selfies.
Performance:
Depending on the variant, the Galaxy A54 5G is powered by a Snapdragon 695G chipset and 6GB/8GB of RAM. The performance is decent, and it can easily handle most day-to-day tasks. However, it might need help with more demanding apps or games. The phone comes in 128GB and 256GB storage options. Additionally, it supports microSD cards, so you can easily expand it. This gives you plenty of room for apps on the phone as well as pictures and videos on a memory card.
Connectivity:
As the name suggests, the Galaxy A54 5G has 5G connectivity, a great feature for a mid-range device. It also has all the usual connectivity options, including Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi, NFC, and a USB Type-C port. The device runs on Android 13 with One UI 5.1, which is a clean and user-friendly interface.
Battery Life:
With moderate usage, the Galaxy A54 5G’s 5000mAh battery can last all day. Additionally, 25W fast charging is supported, which is brisk and respectable for a mid-range device.
The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G is an excellent mid-range smartphone with respectable performance and features, including a 5G connection. But it has to contend with stiff opposition from other mid-range products from companies like Xiaomi and Realme. The A54 5G is viable for a Samsung handset in this price bracket.
