Also apthe A34 5G iż the same AS s23
Little larger battery didnt matter at all because s23 plus battery life its longer in every situation compared to a54
Watching this on the A54 rn
450$?are u insane it's 280$ lol
A series still and will always be trash value
Bruh my s23 died and it took 20 minutes to get to 1% with a normal charge of 2 hours and 15 minutes to 1-100
Why this phone have SD card not on flag ships makes no sense
You can find a used S23 for $500
Expandable storage is everything to me. If it included a headphone jack that would be over the top for me. Bluetooth is nice but its quality still hasnt been able to compete with wired audio. Its very noticeable the amount of audio loss, blue tooth cant even do surround or 3D audio. Ive owned expensive blue tooth headphones, but a cheap wired headset always beat them out.
But A54's Exynos chip is straight up trash even though Snapdragon 8 gen 2 in s23 series wasn't that good,people like me still gonna buy s23 just because of it
Nah the s23+ is a whole different animal. But if you need a great budget phone the s23 fe is not a bad option
450+450 =900
Even though its only half the price of S23, I Didnt even think of using an A54. I had only one choice and that was S23. I m using it and I just love it.
The chipset is slow af. Totally not recommended. It's like a phone from 10 years ago.
they need to stop building them with one ui core
S23:
● + Battery
● + Performance
● + Screen
● + Vibrations
● + Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
● + More software support
● + Wireless charging
Sadly no A74 with the bigger screen any more
If you have just enough money, better get the A54. If you're thinking on buying the S23, better get the ultra
Yes it still takes the sd card❤
Please location
Are the camaras good?
Just buy 7a
Larger battery doesn’t mean better performance. Don’t make it look like it does. Look at apple
if you guys care about bezels, just get a flagship and shut up, if youre poor, buy a pocophone
That's why I prefer refurbished phones
What about samsung s23 fe
But you can get the Oneplus 12r for the same price as the A54 and with the powerful Snapdragon 8 gen 2 processor
To me, i think the A54 is the iPhone 11 of the android world. Sure, they both have chonky bevels, but they are both amazing
I have it
A series os getting better . The A30 was absolutely garbage .
DO NOT BUY Samsung A54, it has overheating issues due to the Exynos chipset. I used this A54, and it went into a restart loop after it overheats when i game on it. So, DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE if you are a heavy gamer
It's kinda sad how on modern phones, complete features are missing on the flagship models rather than the midrange
I got a s24
Please be cautious when buying the A54. I bought one, and it is pretty slow for my standards, if you game like me, just buy an older and used flagship.
worst phone i have ever seen
$450 for that is crazy expensive.
Poco f5
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15)
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)
Headphone jack?
That's my phone
I picked up an A54 recently but ended up having issues with it soft restarting constantly throughout the day. Had to end up getting something different. It was an awesome phone outside of that issue though.
Both a waste of money
Just buy an S21 Ultra or some shit. It has WAY better performance than an A54. Older flagships > New midrangers
my brother has an a54 and i have an s21, can say for a fact that even my 3 year old flagship cooks his a54 in most aspects
I'm typing this from an A54, best phone I've ever had. If I needed a flagship I'd have to own an LLC so I can put it into business expenses.
Basically what I know is that the A series are the most affordable phones to get and the S series are the most efficient and reliable phones from Samsung.
My parents are A54 users and it’s pretty good to use if you want to watch YouTube or scroll on Facebook. (I don’t use their phones often because I have the iPhone 15)
But yes, older phones are better from Samsung. The S10 (my mom’s old phone) can still play roblox with a smooth gameplay
The A series are no way shape or form comparable to the S series. End of story.
Watching on a A54 its pretty good But Would buy the A55 its like 50$ more and you get Metal Instead of plastic and Wireless charging
As a Samsung user that's always purchased directly from Samsung and never held a contract etc free device, there's a big difference as I've used some friends lower end samsungs and mid to low range devices all missing many things that made the Samsung brand stand out in the android realm in the first place.
Where have you gone HTC?
S23:
Pros:
Samsung DeX
30x zoom
Faster processor
Circle to Search (One UI 6.1 exclusive)
4k60 recording
Cons:
no micro sd slot
no macro camera (?)
A54:
Cons: everything else
Pros:
MicroSD slot
Macro camera
I have a Samsung a54 and I love it so much and it's so good that I compare it to a iphone 14 or 14 plus
One thing that makes me lose interest of the flagship phones are the fact that you can't put expandable storage in there. Like, I don't wanna transfer the majority of my files from my micro SD card to the actual phone's storage itself, regardless of how much internal storage I still have.
If my mid-range phone runs my games just fine and I can put expandable storage in it, then you won't see me using a flagship anytime soon. Nothing personal, just my opinion.
I use the a54, its battery is actially really good and its butter smooth tbh so i dont see myself upgrading to a new ohoen for 3 or 4years
Never go for A series, just get an older S series.
No, it’s not. I’ve had two a series phones and they’ve both broken within six months. They were from the a50 and a70 series as well. Not cheap.
Me on my s23 rn
having a bigger battery is not an advantage, the S series is wayyyy more powerful and way more efficient. Also, the screen is worse, the camera is a joke, the longevity is worse, the bezels are horrible and the A54 is terribly dim under direct sunlight
I lost my note 10+ is a water accident and have been rocking the a51 5G for almost 2 years now. I had a s22 Ultra but the data got corrupted and the phone died
I got my s24 for 665€
They look exactly the same
900-450=350?
No … S23 is the real deal
No headphone jack no snapdragon
Bro Samsung F54 is 10 times better with less price
It's amazing hardware but reusing processor performance tier from 350 USD Galaxy a52s is insane.
Bro with the A54 its 60hz so pressing apps or even swiping in the home screen are very slow compared to the s23 which has 120hz
Suse iPhone
why they make it so large? it is impossible to carry in your pocket/
I’m not even an iPhone guy, but I’d gladly take an SE over this
exynos.
Nice
Do u suggest right now buying a54 or the new one a55?
That bezzel is thick af
Got the S23 for 430€
A54 looks like a fake s23
just buy the iqoo z9 its better in every aspect
I have the a55
I love the phone i the world but the most is samsung it cheap and good
Playing 45 to 50 fps on fortnite in creative its a smooth 60
Exynos is shit
The Samsung could be a nice phone, idonno. The reason I didn't buy another Samsung phone and purchased the Pixel instead is I could not stand all that Samsung bloatware. They have Samsung app store, a game app store and a Samsung app to mirror every Google app, plus 3 web browsers WTH!
In my experience, Samsung is a cluster fck of cloned Google apps and services that can't be removed from the phone!
The phone might be a good phone, but how I'm the world could anybody trust Samsung the company if they doing this sort of thing. Apple and Google is bad enough, but adding so much bloatware that it takes away from the performance of the phone is just stupid, not to mention all the confusion to a new user. I'm I saving all my files and photos and passwords with Google, or am I saving it on a Samsung server linked company headquarters in Korea! With Samsung you don't know!
The a 34 is better than both
It sounds so good when you don’t factor in the god awful speed
S23 $1000 here
450$
A55 the goat
Even on a mid range, there shouldn't be such gross thick bezels, especially heading into 2025.
S23 is more powerful tho
