Probably the most underrated camera on the market for a midrange phone in 2023
Okay, so, let’s talk about this phone. I really needed a mid tier phone with a good quality camera. I take pictures of products for work and need stunning images, so this was the #1 most important feature to me… and I’m blown away. These are near-flagship quality images for a fraction of the price. Here are some images I took with it:1. A comparison between my older Moto G Stylus 5G (left) and the A54 (right). I consider the Moto G to have a pretty decent camera and I’ve taken some stunning shots with it, but this is a level up. Notice that the Moto G really struggles with underexposure of the subject when trying to compensate for the brightly lit window behind it. The A54 photo is definitely overexposed in that spot too, but the main subject doesn’t lose any detail.2. Same 2 pictures but zoomed in. The loss of fine detail and underexposure is even more apparent in the Moto G Stylus photo. The A54 photo is crisp and retains some fine details here which is impressive.3. 3:4 50MP mode.4. Same photo, zoomed in. The resolution here is phenomenal. If you zoom in even further, you can see the individual pixels on the can label.5. Macro mode. Again the fine detail here is stunning.6-8: 3:4 50MP mode. Notice the clarity, fine detail, vividness and crispness of these images. I love how vivid the colors are.9. 32MP selfie camera. This camera is powerful and picks up details I’m not sure I even want it to, to be honest. Thankfully, though, it also has the skin smoothing effect to mitigate this. 32MP on a selfie camera in general is new to me and very impressive.Overall I give this phone’s camera a 9.5/10. The only thing it lacks is a telephoto lens, but I wouldn’t expect this in a $325 phone. Also, some of the images do come out slightly oversaturated which could be a problem if you want “natural” looking, slightly less vivid photos. Personally, though, I actually prefer this vibrant, enhanced look, so for my needs it’s a straight up 10/10.Now that I’ve written an entire novel on this phone’s camera, which is probably the most underrated aspect of anything in the world of consumer electronics today, let’s talk briefly about the phone itself.1. I love that it’s IP67 water resistant. I do not plan to test this, but I’ve ruined many phones by dropping them in the toilet or taking them in the rain so I like that I don’t have to worry as much about that.2. Battery life is decent. Today, I charged it overnight to 100%. I had a video call with my therapist and after that I’ve been editing images on full brightness for a few hours. Then I wrote this review, which took like 45 minutes. I have not plugged it in again and at 4:30pm, I still have 68%. This is impressive.3. Love the size. My Moto G Stylus 5G was a bit too big to hold comfortably in my hand. This phone is just a tad bit smaller and easier to hold, but still has a big beautiful display.4. The awesome purple color is just the cherry on top of an amazing phone.Overall: Vastly underrated phone for a phenomenal price.

Great product
Really enjoying this phone. I have been using cheap phones from cell phone providers and always disappointed. This phone is well worth the money. It’s quick to start and download. The camera is amazing, brilliant colors. Phone calls are clear. I recommend this phone.

excellent phone
The phone works great, I got a great deal on it as well , I saved roughly 200 dollars US. buying through Amazon. excellent picture quality, my only gripe was that the lenses for the camera apertures were not flush to the phone, but the cases made for this model fix the issue.

Quantum Leap smart phone upgrade
Am not a power user or someone who lives on their phone. So can’t rate the hi tech features. Phone is mostly for occasional or emergency use, and don’t much care about camera capabilities. My last phone was a budget phone, so this was a quantum leap upgrade. This one seems to first and foremost to have MUCH better reach to the tower, granted the 5G capability likely has something to do with that. First cell phone ever which works at my house, and I’m using the cheapest service provider there is here in the States, which I can’t name here. Battery charges up fast, standby time is a lot better than my old phone ever was when new.Touch screen when scrolling and virtual keyboard and reorientation is snappy. Really like the adaptive brightness. Know most all phones now have wi-fi enabled calling, even my old phone once did but when changed service providers they no longer supported on the antiquated handset. Wi-fi enabled calling works GREAT on this phone. When my antiquated DSL isp was down recently, I actually used the 5G Samsung A54 as a hotspot for my computer.Like the size, personally find the glass back to be very slippery, I’d been just as happy with a hi quality plastic back.One thing worth noting is Samsung promises upgrades for several years. This was a new phone model in March of 2023, AND Amazon offered a 90 day return policy. Very important as needed to make sure would work with my service provider. Thought was they might need to send a new SIM card, and by that time return window could close. Happily, no problems old SIM card plugged right in, and presto phone was working within minutes.Also for a great price, this is brand new handset, not one which was supposedly “refurbished”, used, customer return whatever. Has a recent Android version, so wasn’t buying some phone already out of date when I got it, like my last one was. (Samsung Galaxy J3, was a good little phone for the money and served well).Note the charger brick is not included, although the type C charging cable is. Most people probably have a spare charger or two laying around, but not in my case. Work around was: used the AC adapter for my MacBook Pro until got to the store and picked up a charger brick for the type C cable. Also got a legacy USB2 cable to Type C usb cable which allows the use of older AC charger bricks or older car cigarette lighter adapters.All in all two thumbs up, I mean what is not to like!

Surprisingly Great Phone
I grew to hate my Galaxy S8 and its Android OS so I really didn’t want to get another Samsung phone. Looking at the specs on the A54 and comparing it to what else is out there, I decided to take a chance and get it. Turns out everything that bugged me about the S8 is totally not there on the A54. Everything works with no edge feature to make it hard to handle the phone, great battery life, crisp, easy to read screen, faster CPU, and more! It doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, either, even before the great Black Friday sale price. All good!

Very decent and affordable
This is a great phone for someone who does not need all the bells and whistles of an S series phone, nor wants to pay to price for one. Frankly, you won’t notice what’s missing. I will say, if having wireless charging is a deal breaker for you, this is not the phone for you, as it doesn’t have it. Like all Samsung phones it was a little annoying to set up with all the little settings you want to customize, but it’s made infinitely easier with the Smart Switch app, which will move *most* of your apps and settings over.The camera is really great, sound quality for music and voice is good. Some people have had difficulty hearing me when I have it on speaker, but I think that’s more a deficit of the room I am in when using that method of calling. Using an ear bud, or going into another room, solves that. I’m still getting used to the feel of it in my hand, as it’s a little thicker and squarer than the S series phones. It’s not off-putting, though, just different.The lavender color makes it attractive and is only available in retail versions, not from your carrier or even Samsung itself.

Works fast and has clear images.
I like the quality on pictures. I need to have a few applications and my email for work. All processes fast and well. Battery life is good 👍 I don’t have to charge it during the late afternoon as I had to with my old phone. I love the Samsung phone products, always have had a great experience.

To Set The Record Straight On Dual Sim’s
I wanted to say dual sim cards was the main reason I purchased the SAMSUNG Galaxy A54 5G. After reading so many conflicting reviews, I gave up and went to Samsung’s website to verify this phone. They stated that it does support two Sim cards. One reviewer said he returned his phone when it did not have a second sim card slot.Here’s the thing, it has the standard pop out SIM and SD card holder that most phones have AND it has a built in eSIM. Both the SIM & eSIM have an IMEI, those numbers never change, like serial numbers.The way the second sim card, the eSIM is activated is through your carrier. They can generate a QR code for you to scan or you can type it in. It takes several steps with the SIM Manager. Your carrier can also cancel the QR code and re-issue it.They were not familiar with this particular model and it took several tries for them to get mine to work.It took several days to get it done so if you are in a hurry to have service I would suggest using the physical SIM first.Mine already had my primary cell number working and the eSIM is where I had my land line ported.So, yes, I have two numbers working on my Galaxy A54 5G, both are local numbers here in the US.My overall impression of the A54 is that it is full of apps that will serve no purpose for my needs but it is a solid well put together phone. I do 99% of my work on a PC and the phone is when needed. It will take a while for me to get familiar with the phone and determine which apps running in the background can be removed or turned off. I think that should help out with the battery life. It’s not bad but it isn’t as good as the battery life on my Motorola Moto, that would last three days or longer.Bottom line is I would probably purchase this phone again. Don’t ask about pictures and video, I haven’t had a chance to try them out but they are known to be top notch.

Superb Value, Great Features, Fuzzy Warm Feelings
Phone works as expected.I have done some research regarding the best value android phones around the 200 usd range. The A14 regularly comes up as the winner for this category and that was the phone I was about to buy, but then I immediately found this A15 right before buying.It’s virtually the same price as the A14 5G and I made sure to compare the two online, both are similar in features, though the A15 is better. The performance is also slightly similar, sometimes the A15 is ahead and the A14 is ahead maybe once or twice in tests.Overall the A15 is a great phone and comes with way more storage than the A14.I highly recommend the A15

Verizon Prepaid – verified self activation worked!!!!!
I have a $35 15GB 5G prepaid plan with Verizon. All I did was moving the SIM card from Note 5 which is no longer getting updates since 2018. I’ll show you howto self activate at the end. 9 out of 10 apps on Note 5 are no longer supported by play store lol. What a big noticeable change. I was worried this is going to be a waste of money, used returned beaten up item, and negative reviews left on CDMA carrier like Verizon, nah I’m like a little kid on Xmas eve again. I bought this on Cyber Monday deal *used like new condition* with 20%, warehouse deal out of the door was 270. Was it a gamble? Yes, lucky hit. Everything works as advertised. So far could not tell why this phone was returned. It doesn’t appeared to be used at all. 80% battery power appears to be default so I don’t think last user even turned it on. Spent about an hour got all the updates all the way up to Nov 1st patch, still waiting for UI6/Android14 – updates dropped me to 60% power – how nice, can’t say the same thing with my old note 5. I can’t speak for other carrier but Verizon is notorious for dropping call priority once you’ve used your SIM card past 18 months. If you’ve used it past 18 months, do exactly as I’m telling you. Go to a Verizon store with your old phone, tell them excuse me I’ve had this SIM card for the past 18 months and I’m getting call delay. They will give you a free brand new SIM card, make sure it said 5G on it. I don’t think they have any more 4G sim so you don’t need to worry and also not worry if your old phone takes 5G or not – SIM cards are backward compatible. Have them install the SIM card, make sure it works on your old phone. Great go home, open your new A54 swap out the SIM card right away hahah enjoy 🙂

I’ve been waiting a long time to upgrade my phone. Phones are crazy expensive, and I don’t need the newest version.My old phone was an S7, and it had been my daughter’s. I was looking for more storage, and a better camera, and this phone gave me both for a reasonable price.

Nice Size Great Storage and Wonderful Photo Quality
I have always liked the Samsung brand of phone. I bought this phone because I wanted one with larger storage and a better camera. This phone fits the bill. I’m very happy with the quality of the photos it takes. The size of the phone is perfect for me. I didn’t want a larger-sized phone because my hand is on the smaller side. The only thing that I’m not totally happy about is how much power it uses in a 24-hour period even though I haven’t used it that much since I just got it. I’m pretty sure it’s not a defect in the phone though. I think I need to look into making some adjustments in my apps and settings to take care of that problem. All in all, I’m very happy with this phone and I’m not at all sad that I bought it.

Phone features
The phone was bought to replace my old phone which shut down and wouldn’t restart. I love the cool features on the SG A54 5g.The size is perfect for my hands and the storage capacity is a plus.One drawback that I found is that I have to charge the phone often, and I was disappointed that no block is included with the phone. I would recommend this phone as a good purchase.

One of the best cameras for pics.
Researched cameras before calling my phone company who wanted to charge $150 more. The pics are phenomenal and I needed more gigs. Refuse to spend $1000 on a camera. The price is less than expected to spend. Very very happy with the phone.

Big Upgrade
Had a A13 with only 32GB for 3 years, drove me insane towards the end of its life. Bought the A54 once it died. To get 4x the space, be faster, and have the battery last the whole day (and I mean unplug at 7am and only plug it back in at like 3am) on a single charge is absolute bliss.

Great Phone
In August 2023, my beloved 2017 Galaxy S8 died a sudden death. I should have know it was coming but I had no warning. I needed a phone fast and did not want to be paying for one on my phone plan. I checked the Slick Deals website for suggestions and was directed to this phone on Amazon. I ordered and it was on my doorstep in less than 8 hours. Off to T-Mobile and I was back up and running less that 14 hours from waking up to a dead phone. So far I am happy with this phone. It does what I need and some of my apps are happier. The fingerprint reader is hit or miss so that’s frustrating sometime. I need to program my thumb now. Other than all the things that need getting used to with a new phone (new sounds, new messaging, some lost contacts from not backing up often) I’m happy with this phone It communicates well with my Subaru Android system. I haven’t had any connection problems. It holds a charge for well over 24 hours. The screen is slightly larger than my old phone and clear. I can see everything I need.

On par with iphone 13
I made the switch to Samsung from Apple and will never be going back. There is a bit of an adjustment period, but it is absolutely worth it. The amount of customization, especially related to notifications is amazing. I used to have an iphone 13 and can honestly say this phone is pretty on par with it, except for a few minor things. The phone vibration for notifications is a little weak even on the highest setting, though I have gotten used to it. The front facing camera is not as good as apple’s, but I don’t take any selfies so it’s far from an issue for me. The back cameras seem to be much better than apple’s though. Overall, for hundreds of $$ less than an iphone, it’s an obvious choice.

A great upgrade with the quality expected from Samsung
I went from an A13 5g to this A54 5g and honestly the screen quality alone is enough to justify the upgrade, let alone the speed of the processor and other features. This phone looks and feels great!

Good phone at an affordable price
The A series of Samsung Galaxy phones are affordable in price but not necessary be worse than the S series. This A54 is pretty good in features and considered a pretty good deal for the price. I love the A70 and A71, thephotos and videos taken with their cameras are better than even some iPhone models. Too bad that both have been discontinued.I bought this A54 for my teens and they both like it. At least, they won’t complain about it. One thing – it won’t come with earbuds to use.

Doesn’t come with an actual USB charging cord
I have no complaints about the phone itself. Works great for what I need it for!I just don’t know how I’m meant to charge it. The charging cord that comes with the phone is a double ended USB-C type, there isn’t a USB 3 or even 2 end to use when charging. And I don’t have a block that supports USB-C only, have to buy one.

Great phone for Joe average.
It’s a nice upgrade in every aspect from my A52. What jumps out for me is the display and audio seem much better. The camera software seems improved. Everything seems faster and crisper. I noticed videos appear fresher. I’m pretty sure the A54 has improved refresh rate. I’d recommend this smart phone to the average person. Seems solid. Does a great job at the basics and then some.

Good quality, fast delivery
Verizon store switched it over for me, I preferred having an expert do it. It looks & feels just as nice as my galaxy s9+, slightly larger. I’m happy so far with the camera, look forward to testing night photos. Was hesitant about not buying an S series but at 9 to 12 hundred for the S23 I’m giving this a try. So far so good. The pic was taken in daylight.

1 month review.
I used the phone for 1 month and this is my conclusion. The battery life is fairly good, the screen is very vibrant and bright, the camera is ok for daytime photos. Nighttime photos are not very good, but at this price point it isn’t a big deal. The speakerphone is not very loud, but it gets the job done. I don’t think this phone would be good for gaming only having the 6 GB of Ram, but who knows it might be ok for gaming. Overall, this is my brief summary of the A54. I used the phone with T Mobile in the Chicago area and had zero issues.

Just OK Phone
This is my first Samsung phone, but we do use Samsung tablets that we really like. I did not want to replace our phones; the older Motorola and Lg phones were wonderful, but I got really sick of the vendors not updating them after two years. That, and around 3 years in, the phones always seem to start developing mysterious issues that they never had before (e.g, needing frequent restarts to get the audio to work) – just like the vendor is trying to force you to buy something new. I really do not like that.The main draw here, besides good ratings, was the promise that the software would be updated for FOUR years.I’m not really all that impressed. Maybe it is just getting used to something different, but I do find many things missing compared to the same priced phones from Motorola and LG. For example, the phone does not have a proximity detector or a metal detector, and the disgusting nag software that is included from Samsung really ticks me off. Taking a long time to weed it out. There are some nice new features too, so it is not all bad, just not as good as I had expected.One of the most irritating things is that you often cannot just tap a “button”; instead, you have to hold on it and swipe some direction. Two really annoying places this shows up is when the phone rings, and you have two buttons available – one to answer and one to reject. No instructions on the screen at all, but neither button works unless you tap/hold/swipe Up. My Motorola phone shows just one button, and you swipe up to answer and down to reject, but the key is that it TELLS you that right on the screen!Another even worse situation is when the calendar sends you an alert, and the big “Dismiss” button on the bottom does NOTHING at all! I am still not sure what works to actually dismiss those alerts – after a few minutes of tapping, screaming, cussing, etc., I just hide the phone under a pillow and leave the room. I do not know if any of these issues are specific to all Samsung phones or just this A54, but either way it makes me wish I had not bought it.

Nice
My last phone was a cheap samsung family mobile phone. It lasted 5 years but was showing its age. Decided to get this. It works. Nicer than my old phone, but I am not the guy who buys the latest and greatest everytime a new one drops.

Easy set up
Husband bought this to replace his old Android. It was so easy to set up and get him going with his new phone. Works well, screen is large and bright. Calling his friends and family overseas was a joy. Haven’t tried the camera yet but I’m sure it won’t disappoint.

Ehhh…it’s a middle of the line smartphone.
Nothing to cause this phone to stand out in the month or so if using it. Nothing to make me return it. I dislike the screen app layout but feel sire that my apathy about it has lead me to miss how to change it. I’ll add things if they come up…good or bad.

Love this case!
Great case especially for the price! I drop my phone all the time and wanted a case that was sturdy but didn’t look like it was military issue, my choice of color not just variations of camo and a case that actually did it’s job – protecting my phone. Also one that cost less than my phone. This one checked all the boxes. I would highly recommend it.

Great buy.
This was a used/returned? phone and was listed as “good, no scratches to screen” condition. It came in the manufacturer’s packaging (box) and I couldn’t find a single mark on the phone. It even had the clear removeable plastic protection tape that is put on to ptotect the edges of the phone by the manufacturer. The one for the screen was missing. The only negative thing I can say is it was in a much bigger box with no packing material so it could bang around during shipping but there was luckily no damage to the phone’s box. It had 90%+ battery charge on it and it fired right up and I xfered all my info. from my GallaxyS10 to this one in a few mins.

Didn’t come with a wall charger…
The phone should have come with a proper wall charger. We had to order a wall charger for it separately.

I bought a camera that makes phone calls!
Samsung A54 5G has a camera rated among the best in 2023. A couple of professional reviews thought that the color rendering was too vivid; however, I found that the A54’s display settings can be changed from “vivid” to “natural” so the reviewers may have been looking at the vivid rather than the natural display setting. I’ve yet to find out how my photos look on my laptop or other display, however.For me, the A54’s competition was the Pixel 7/7A or I could have waited for the Pixel 8. When I made my purchase, the 7A was $100 more than the A54. I would have paid more for an arguably better phone whose camera can make blurry photos sharper; however, the 7/7A has an issue with spontaneous lens shatter, also an issue with the preceding Pixel 6/6A, and I didn’t anticipate it being fixed in the Pixel 8. I could imagine being on vacay and no longer able to take pictures, a total bummer since I’m such a shutterbug. BTW, during my last vacay I took most of my pix with a DSLR that has a fairly decent 18 MP resolution. The A54’s main camera has 50 MP, so my DSLR is in danger of gathering dust in the closet, if you know what I mean.Now on to the phone (sorta joking about buying a camera that makes phone calls). Since Verizon has not great reception in my apartment building, I was concerned about whether my new phone could do Wi-Fi calling or whether I would have to go outside in the winter to talk on the phone. Answer: Yes, the A54 can make Wi-Fi calls with Verizon! So far, crystal clear call quality with some intermittent static.The A54’s user interface is very intuitive, easier than my work phone (iPhone 11) or even my old Samsung S7. There were some preloaded apps that I don’t need, so I just removed them.There is some flak these days about cell phones having a USB C data cable, no charging plug, and no earphones. I already have many charging plugs and ear phones, bought an inexpensive USB C-to-USB adapter for the data/charging cable, and plan to buy a USB C-to-headphone jack adapter rather than ear buds.I set up fingerprint unlock, which works fine. I will probably set up face recognition as well.Even if I had paid more than $349 (the S7 was $400 in 2017), I would still be completely satisfied with my A54 and highly recommend it!

NOT a dual sim phone
I understood this to be a dual sim slot phone, but it is not. It is a single sim slot with an esim and memory card slot. Galaxy A54 5G mdl# SM-A546U1/DS. Even though it is misleading it worked out for the better. I use an international sim for travel in addition to my domestic sim. Phone made a smooth transition upon returning home this time so it works great! And I have more room for memory.

Nice phone but I wish the battery lasted longer
I hadn’t bought a phone since 2020. I had 3-4 Motorola phones in a row because they are almost pure android and they have some nice options. The last was a Moto G Power. The battery life was great but like all phone batteries it got weaker over 3 years. Motorola also only gives 2 years of updates which I don’t like.Now for the Samsung. It has enough bells and whistles I am still learning. The phone is much quicker than my old phone but we will see how it is in 3 years. If I am not mistaking they give 5 years of updates.I don’t see the need for a high end phone for me so I look for medium priced phones. I would suggest this phone. The only drawback is the battery isn’t as good as my Moto Power when it was new. This is a more powerful phone so that might be part of it.I consider it a good buy for the money.

My first Samsung Phone
Every time I need a new phone I try a new brand.This time it was Samsung’s turn.Pros:Nice screenSamsung UI is very similar to Apple (I had an iPhone)which means very nice.Cons:Very poor battery life.Fingerprint scanner turns off.I need to charge this phone every day.I have never had a new phone that I needed to do that to.I even turned off the 120 Hz screen. Didnt make a difference.I setup phone to use fingerprint scanner when screen is off.After phone as been idle a few hours, every time I go to use scanner.Its no longer there, I have to use my 4 digit pin to get in phone.After using the phone and turning it off the scanner is back again.This phone costs too much for things like this to happen.On just a 5 watt charger this phone charges real fast.My experience has been when that happens the battery is old and failing.This is the way all my other phones worked.They took a long time to charge when new.Next phone I need I’m not sure what brand Ill buy.As poor as the battery is in this one it might be sooner than later.
