I bought my mom an A52 a couple of years ago and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. [...] If you're not a performance hound into heavy gaming it's a decent option and great bang for your buck. [...]
I bought A54 earlier this week. [...] Screem is great, and camera looks amazing. [...]
I have the A53 5G.(previous model) I can say that I've had this phone for a little over 6ish months and I truly love it. Camera is great, tons of space, great battery life, great game performance (can run most games at 60FPS besides maybe the most intensive games). I got it for around $300 and I would still recommend that if anyone wants to go with a cheaper option without losing out too much.
I got the A54 5G today, broke my A52s 5G and this is a good upgrade in my perspective. I am a mid range fanatic, my main goal is to be able to access a good OS with half the price, not really focused on highly refined features, this will do! 🧔🏻
[...] I have the S20+ which is almost identical (battery life aside), or even a little smoother, as the day I bought it, my mother's A52 looks very very similar in many aways, it genuinely impressed me. [...]
I recently gave my S21 FE at service center as I was facing heating issue only when I restart my phone. [...] Camera is also good and battery easily last a day. [...]
Peak brightness is the biggest issue with my A53. It says it does 800 nits, but when I go out on a sunny day, I can barely see anything. Sometimes it gets to a point where I can't use my phone at all. Also now and then I experience some serious lag. [...]
I have a A56 5g and an ultra as I smashed my ultra screen while travelling and my provider had a deal where the A56 cost me NZ$99. I really enjoy using it and dont use wireless charging ever, even though I bought wireless charging everything for other half. [...] From remote camera operation to screen writing, to signing things. I use it a lot. But I like the flat screen. [...] And while i love good cameras, my work photography will now be done by a team, so I dont need to have such high quality. I havent has any issues with the photos from the A56. [...]
I got the a54 for like 250 bucks after trading in my a13 5g for 200 bucks, and the difference between the two was very noticeable, especially in terms of camera and screen.
I have never used a phone with more than 60Hz refresh rate. My phone charges at the regular 5W. The photos come out to be okay-ish, acceptable. [...] Wonder what it would be like to have a Galaxy A54!
[...] One year later, no complaints whatsoever. Thanks Marques.
Forgot to add: one reason I bought my Samsung phone (a Galaxy A54 model, their mid-tier model I bought in 2023) is Samsung offers OS and security update support for 4/5 years respectively. So less frequent need to buy new phones. It still works fine; almost forgot I've had it for 2 years, not 1.
[...] Even when switching between home screens is like it's dropping frames left and right (it's not of course, but that's what it looks like coming from 120Hz). A Galaxy A54 that we still have in the house that was just over 300 Euro feels much smoother than my old iPhone 15 that cost close to 1000 Euro because it has a 120Hz screen. [...]
I had this happen repeatedly but relatively rarely on a Galaxy A51, and now on a Galaxy A54. I don't browse on my phone much, but it felt like much less than 20% of the time. At least, it was rare enough that I'd always forget it happened until it smacked me in the face again.
Just bought an A54 as a replacement to my iPhone 6s that I got back in 2015. [...] The expandable storage is also a nice plus, I didn't know about that feature when I got it but now I'll make use of it for sure.
[...] I bought it second hand, and it was one of those affected by faulty soldering and two of its cores didn't work which cause the system to crash. [...] Now I have Galaxy A54, and as much as I don't like Samsung, it's great phone
I got the A52s and it's really impressive for the price. I never go for top of the line products because usually they are overpriced and you end up paying more for less. Value is what matters most and midrange products is where it's at.
I recently upgraded my phone and I can confirm that I'm not using the platform formerly known as Twitter on my new Samsung galaxy a54 even though I joined that service over a decade ago when it was an important mouthpiece for progressives like us.In fact I proudly joined bluesky upon upgrading.
… the Samsung keyboard on a Samsung Galaxy tablet has a control key. … It’s been too long since I had a Samsung phone to know if it has an option for that too. I just tried on a Galaxy A54, and don't see such an option.
