The processor difference is insane. You won't get as much of a smooth experience as the S23. And the flagship will definitely last longer in the run. You will get the latest software updates on the S23 wayyyy before the A54 does. It will be more polished too. Body feels more premium in the hand. Photos are on different levels.

[CHRIZZ]

Well...Athough S23 has smaller battery capacity, but it has a super efficient chipset. I just got 9 hrs of SoT with my S23

[bantintech]

The bezzles on the flagship is unmatched

[SLUS]

Would much rather buy an older flagship for cheaper than go for a current midrange phone

[farhanhassan]

Yeah, A54 has a good value and also performed pretty well. Although, I would pick S23 if I have enough money.

[cjpowretired]

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

[ExtraXrieeZali]

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

External storage is a must if you take tons of videos and pics and that is were A54 wins plus it cost a lot less for those who doesn't have a big budget.

[brandonsheffield]

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.

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.

[frightenedchaos]

If you have just enough money, better get the A54. If you're thinking on buying the S23, better get the ultra

[DJLNR.]

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?

[Jigsaw]

A54 450$? 😂😂😂😂 what a joke. Its worth 200 max

[robertzoufood]

But you can get the Oneplus 12r for the same price as the A54 and with the powerful Snapdragon 8 gen 2 processor

[David-bhrn]

I'm just sad there is no headphone jack when the bottom tier phones still have it

[UltraCenterHQ]

It's kinda sad how on modern phones, complete features are missing on the flagship models rather than the midrange

[Baethovin]

Nah the s23+ is a whole different animal. But if you need a great budget phone the s23 fe is not a bad option

[kod]

That's why I prefer refurbished phones

[ZMshout]

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.

[PAWaviation]

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.
