Samsung Galaxy A54 5G Unboxing & Tour | Camera, Gaming & More!

Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G mid-range smartphone, with an upgraded 50MP camera and Exynos 1380 for improved gaming vs the A53. My full review of the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G is incoming but here's my early verdict on this phone for gamers, photo fans etc.

While last year's A50 series smartphone was a let-down, this fresh model seems to correct the awful performance with a redesigned Exynos 1380 chipset. While Genshin Impact still won't quite play with a fluid frame rate on medium settings on the Galaxy A54 5G, gamers can certainly enjoy their thumb-mashing sessions with a more stable experience overall.

Battery life seems strong so far, offering around six hours of screen-on time per charge. However, I'll expand on my experiences in my final review of the Samsung A54 5G. You have 25W wired charging and no wireless charging (check out the Nothing Phone 1 if that's a deal breaker).

As for that camera, well, Samsung reckons the bigger pixel size of the Galaxy A54 5G's primary 50MP sensor means better night photography. I'll be testing that out over the next couple of weeks too, as well as the video capture performance.

So are you tempted by the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, or are you already using it? Let us know your verdict below!

I've got the A54 to replace my ageing A50. So far loving the phone. Massive step up for me. No performance issues with it and got the free Galaxy Buds 2. Would definitely recommend.

I purchased it today to replace a Google Pixel 6, which I personally think is overrated. The speakers are better, the screen is clearer and brighter and it's a very impressive phone for the price. The notch doesn't bother me, as you can disable it in most apps, and I've got loads of chargers, so that wasn't an issue. I really enjoy your videos. Cheers 😊

I moved from my iphone 13 to this phone, and I love it. Dont know why people always talk about the chip, I like the performance, people like to talk bad without knowing what they are talking about, just to sound smart

I've had it for a week and everything works great no problems at all😁I got it for the screen and not disappointed it is great to watch stuff on and plus got a free pair of galaxy bud 2

I've got the A54 Wednesday just gone and I'm impressed with it been hammering it most of the day today and still got juice in the tank

I got this a week ago after waiting for the release. I love it. I personally prioritise the expandable storage over 1000x zoom cameras. The performance has been good but some stutters along the way. I think that comes down to optimisation as multitasking with split screen is flawless, just app switching seems to have the hiccups. I imagine after a few updates this thing will be even better but for me, this phone is an absolute go.

Just got the Pixel 7 Pro after watching your review of it. Moved up from a OnePlus 8 Pro which was good but the camera and performance of the Pixel 7 Pro is something else. Thanks dude.

I kinda miss the A3, A5 2016 days... the designs were going somewhere and they really felt premium, they really felt like the iPhone SEs of Samsung...

[TMT]

I sure hope they bring back the earphone jack sometime..

Traded in my a52 5g for an a54 5g plus the bud live ear buds. Got both for $303 US. Trade in alone took the price from $450 to $210. Take that into account when purchasing the phone, plus I pre-ordered so the earbuds where $100 cheaper and damn they sound good(going from $40 Amazon to galaxy bud live akg)

Someone I know recently got this amazing phone for me I am iPhone user but after using this phone it’s amazing it’s fast and zippy because of 120 refresh there a few small issues with performance when you load up a lot of apps but it’s barely noticeable when scrolling through websites it’s zippy and smooth it’s feel premium because of the glass and it looks modern as well. Display is vivid and interestingly one ui on android 13 is really good. And the back camera is nice 🔥🔥

A52 lineup will always remain the best value for money in the A series.

[robertwolfgan]

I understand that the A52 owners are even happier than A52s and of course A53 because of how good it came to be, at least my friends say they won't upgrade yet cuz that A54 seems to offer same things.

[michaeldavidryandanielpaul]

Compared to the A53, did the bezels get chunkier?

[fauguy]

In the US can get S22 Certified Refurbished 256GB for $480. Would like a comparison video between the A54 and S22 since they would be the same price. Still like the A54 comes with microSD slot!

[jccsvlogs]

Btw let me say your nice and bravo to you because your the only one I see that you review the phone truly and legit and fully come into your heart when you review the phone keep it up and stay safe I love you❤️❤️

Camera looks to be loosing big this time on the 52 S. Back at release it was up there on par with S20fe (only daytime) but lost ofc to the high premium S20 models.

The 53 did in the only review that matters of Mister Spurt ofc, similar or worse to 52 S 5G depending on taste, maybe beating the 52 S 5G at night shots only.

I still miss the headphone jack the most, since music is life for me and i use the versatality of old and new tech.

But it is nice to see Samsung sticking to there guns of what a A seriest phone are/is. A touch of premium at low price (and price is going to be key going forward) with good software support. I think Samsung may have spoiled the 52 S owners because it ranked high up with premium feat. at it's release, and we simply still enjoy the 52 S, therefore creating a sort of gap.

I'm scared of phones made of glas in general, it is just one thing more to break, and how carefull are users of a semi expensive phones?. I belive this is the reason my plastic 52 S 5G is holding up just fine 😊

Any ways. Looking forward to Mr Spurts longer review. Hope he have a 52 S 5g still kicking around for fun (higly doubt it since he seems to drown in units) comparison since the 53 didn't really matter. But i expect nothing more then a flawless victory from the 54 (only loosing out on the headphone jack) simply because the 52 S 5G is really starting to age now, it is some models back.

Well well, thnx Mr Spurt for another good one. The colour on your unit looked interesting to me, like the old retro colours of the 1930's pots and pans. Mmm, hungry now.

/cheers.

Great review. I'm watching on my Motorola G62 5G. Perfectly happy with my Motorola for now and my last phone was the A71. Next I'll go for a Google Pixel.

[miaoyi]

A52s and A54 are both great, it depends on which aspects you are more interested/using it more often. E.g. Camera is btr in a54 but gaming is btr in a52s

[granumuse]

That's exactly the case! Spectacular!!! Thank you 😊
