How close is a midrange phone actually to a flagship in 2023?

A54 provided by Samsung for review.

I tell you what, the A54 vs. Pixel 7a is going to be a good comparison. With all the upgrades the Pixel a series is getting this year.

It’s great to see the 5 pillars make a come back, I remember when it used to be the baseline for the “perfect” phone and now a midrange is basically nailing all the criteria for a “perfect” phone

This should be a series... comparing Flagship vs Midrange Phones across all brands.

I'm old and I don't really understand a lot of tech stuff. That said, this was one of the best comparison reviews I've ever seen. You spoke concisely and to the point without over-explaining anything. Because of my age and my needs I will seriously consider the a54 for my next phone which is coming very soon. Thanks for being awesome. I'm subscribed.

Not everyone needs a flagship, and not everyone can pay a premium to enjoy the latest tech. Midrange are good enough for most people, and Samsung is doing a good job with the A series.

Really appreciate that the A series exist, bought my dad one and he's loving the large battery and the price point of it. It does the job well and it's really impressive.

I did my research on A53s and went out to buy one, but ended up with an A54 (that I only then realized replaced it) on sale for about the same price! "Flagship finesse for fractional funds" is exactly what my intuition needed to hear! Mid-range value gang for life! Thank you MB!

I'm an a54 user since almost 1 year. I had previously the A52. What I like is that the phone runs smoothly an all day to day aps. I have not tried games so far, but for Microsoft Teams and all office package, it is really a great phone. The camera is decent, it has eSIM capability, microSD or dual-SIM, the battery is great, and I'm here because I needed somebody to convince me not to upgrade :))).. you did it!

For me it is more interesting to see if a new midrange phone is better than an older version of the flagship that are almost equal in price. I don't need the best phone, but want good quality and support.

I tried the A54 a couple of days ago and was absolutely astounded at how good it is for the price. It almost feels exactly like the S23 be it the design, the display or the software. Even the camera is great. Can't think of any reason why any normie would spend $1000+ on a phone these days. Kudos to Samsung and I hope they keep pushing the A-series more.

I love my S23+ but I got my Mom an A54 recently. I had no clue it was a brand new model at the time. The A54 is very nice imo. It is certainly the best cellphone Mom has had BY FAR. IF something were to happen to my S23+ I'd be fine with an A54. Impressive. I'm a new sub for you too!

Hey, just switched from a A32 to the A54 last week. Great update imo! Switching accounts & settings was a breeze. Loving it from my week usage from my picture taking, video watching & battery life. Great phone if budget is a must! 👍🏼

Actually bought this for my parents. They are just used to Samsung phones at this point. They were adamant to transfer from the A71 even though they were having problems already. I'm just happy to give them something better.

I love watching these types of videos, I imagine the majority of people watching your videos are actually somewhat into tech and care about specs to a certain degree, but I think you might be surprised how many people don’t care about phone specs. I know so many people, especially people who I work with who don’t care about their phone, all they want is something that can make phone calls texts and maybe occasionally get on Facebook or YouTube and that’s pretty much it. Theyre not worried about a name or the specs or anything like that. It’s quite different from how YouTube portrays it

[TheDailyG]

Over the past 2 years I have opted for cheaper phones and the A Series has not disappointed. I think it helps though that I have professional camera equipment that I use for photos so I don't really miss the camera specs. Other than that, its less of a blow when you lose or break your phone because it was $400 and not $1200-$2000.

I had the a53 just upgraded to the a54, much cleaner appearance then the older model, looks like the s22 and s23 quality bc they went with the glass back and the cameras now also stick out a bit to give it that better feel and look then the older model. Did a comparison to the iphone 13 pro, my a54 was twice as clear streaming on fb live, the iPhone lost lighting and contrast where as mine didn't. Highly recommend this phone its also half the price. Winner winner chicken dinner. 😮

That JerryRigEverything reference at 3:06 😂

I really hope samsung doesn't abandon their FE line of phones. All the power of last year's flagship for close to the price of a budget phone is such a good value.

[ashedrickmus.]

Man, you did a great video review! I'm glad I watched you first.
