I somehow feel sad that for people from developed countries, the A54, a phone that costs $499 is considered a budget phone whereas over here in countries where i am from, the Philippines, it is considered expensive and cant be afforded even by the middle class. Budget phones here are those $100-$200 phones from Chinese brands. Samsung is considered a Premium Brand, and dont even get me started on iPhones. Only the rich can afford iPhones. It is just amazing how different the lifestyle is of people from developed countries vs developing countries.

It's a midrange phone, not budget.
Have some respect for people who don't get these for free like you.

[DaliborSavic]

Are you crazy, BUDGET PHONE!?
This is midrange phone!
Budget phone is 100 - $300

If they could bring dex to the A series phones and tablets I would switch over in a heart beat.

Google Pixel 6a was a disaster for me. Returned it within 2 wks for this Samsung A54. If you care about security and privacy, don't get the Pixel 6a. And my Google Pixel 6a was buggy, so happy to be rid of it.

Personally, I've never cared about the camera setup in a smartphone, but boy I miss the headphone jack. Maybe I will keep my A42 5G for a bit longer

1:00 No more camera bump? And we're looking right at the camera bumps..

A perfect phone, I have the white one. Face id works very good. I have an sd card in it also and you can use e-sim!
Here in The Netherlands I paid €479. So that's not a budget phone, but worth the price! I am happy with this phone. My son has the A53 and the A54 is really a update 👍

I'll wait for your review, because I'm on the fence on this phone. Plus I want to see a comparison review between the A54 and the 6a. I also feel that Samsung is starting to overprice their phones just like Apple. Google is finally getting smart about this. Thanks!

The bezels just keep on growing on the A series. That's a huge step backwards!

It's worth buying for someone who seeks new phone to replace old/broken one but for those who wants to upgrade from a53 then better wait for next one. Tbh the spec it offers are allign to the "midrange" spec along with the price. People shouldnt expect the phone to have the same performance as flagship spec but instead it actually perform decent when compared to flagship smartphone and some other spec it might be better than flagship like battery. Its good phone tbh.

Please make sure to test the Bluetooth capability on this phone when it does release, as there are known issues on the A53 that Samsung has been ignoring. For many users of different brands/models/years of certain cars, the Bluetooth sounds robotic and garbled to the person on the other line.

Budget price?
Yes.

Years ago, you could buy a top of the line smart phone between 200-300 dollars.
Granted that you have to sign a 2 year contract.

Now days, people are paying up to 1, 800+ out of pocket with no contracts.
To a degree, you still have contracts via monthly phone payments for 2-3 years because nobody can afford to pay 1, 000 to 1, 800+ for a phone.
Your monthly phone bill gone up about 50 percent or more because of the phone payments.

Cell phone carriers is making alot more money from ditching 2 year contracts over to 2-3 year payment plans.

[mdashrafulalamshahriar]

thanks for sharing.
could you tell us what camera sensor has been used and what is the storage type??

[AdilKhan-ilbd]

I prefer sticking to a52 5g as it has headphones jack neither a53 or a54 does, that's disappointing

[Lyarin]

Budget phone!!?! Any phone beyond 300$ is notconsidered a budget phone tf, Samsung is just scamming us rnnn with their A series phone 😐

[pointlessfailure]

Budget is now 450? I got my Moto G Stylus for 200 dollars.
