I had the one UI 6 and Android 14 update couple of days ago. The A54 runs smooth & stable

[garyharvey]

Cheaper price and for me expandable storage makes the choice clear.

[GFourGadget]

If you're on a tight budget then the cheaper A54 is definitely your choice; but if you're willing to spend more then go for the vanilla S23 which is so much better than the FE.

Thank you. I'm debating between these two phones, and your review is very helpful.

[aboselaiman]

A series all the way 👍A54 ❤ I have it as my main device.

[Sci-Mon]

I really want the S23 but it not having an SD card slot just sucks. A54 is it.

[davidbezzant]

How can they continue to call it the "fan edition" when they dont allow you to use a micro SD card. Awful

[THEGODDAMNDINOSAUR]

Gotta go with expandable memory, im loving my a54. Just had to buy a audio jack converter that also doublesbas a charger (amazon like 10-15 bux)

Cool comparison but I was more focused on the cars during the video. @5:18 Can you legally turn right in left only turning lanes or is it more of the lines of idgaf I do what I want?

[givenoxygenbarez]

Thank you for this video dear sir, but would you also do a comparison of Samsung A73 and S23FE?

[jadenn]

Hi, can I ask if the A54 has a 0.5 wide back camera?

[WannaPoop]

if only the s23 FE had expandable storage. Only reason I settled on the a54

[JCIMS]

What is the skateboarding game you play on the phone?

[jakel.quindipan]

Hello Bud, hope you will notice my comment, Can you try taking a picture using the S23 FE to color TEAL if it shows accurate color

[joe]

Would be interesting to see viewer retenion rate after mentioning no micro sd expandable storgae on the s23fe. I know I got everything i needed to make my decision after that

[MrTagalish]

Watching this comparison video on my Galaxy S20 FE.. I guess I'm still good with keeping mine. Both expandable memory and internal memory chips have a lot of room still. Plus, the battery is still holding strong. I'm good.. I suppose I can wait til the S25 / S26 and their variants come out.

I ordered my Samsung S23FE from the Samsung site. $379.00. ordered it on Tuesday and it got here on Thursday.

[T.S]

Is the device size the same as the A54 screen?

[moatazmady]

I bought s23 fe 3 days ago. Such a beast and premium phone. The only con is the leakage of power.
If you gonna buy one of them, get the a 54 if you spend a lot of time outdoors. If not, the fe is a very valuable choice.

Just bought the s23 FE for my partner. He’s using the A50 for more than 5 years now. He really loved the upgrade and the extra features of his new phone. Now he always takes pictures with our cat and doing some work tasks on his phone which he couldn’t do on his old phone before. 🔥
