A return to form for Samsung’s A-series

Great-looking screen, Capable camera system, IP67 water resistance

Clunky styling, No RAW photo capture, No wireless charging

The Samsung Galaxy A54 stands proudly apart from its siblings in the A series range, and deserves to be among its S series counterparts.

“The Samsung Galaxy A54's colorful design and screen are matched by the colorful photos it takes, and while it's a sensible, good-value buy, it's let down by disappointing battery life.”

Eye-catching colors, It looks like the Galaxy S23, Colorful screen, Speakers sound good, Long software commitment

Battery doesn't last two days, No wireless charging, Camera lacks realism

The Galaxy A54 has a big, bright screen and a big battery, making it a great every-day device, although one which - on balance - seems more expensive than it should be.

Big, vivid and bright display with 120Hz refresh, Strong battery life - almost two days of use, IP67 rated water/dust resistance, Strong main camera

Can stutter and lag at times, Ultrawide and macro cameras aren't the greatest, Lots of software bloat

The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G is a decent mid-range phone

Good looking, well-built, mid-range, Bright, 120Hz refresh rate, colour-accurate sAMOLED, Decent day or two battery life., Great Android and One UI upgrade policy 2+4+5 (Warranty/OS/Patches), Better than social media class camera

No charger inbox., Video stabilisation is only available in 1080p., Phone antenna signal strength only for good tower coverage areas, Can’t mount external SSD for live storage

Really awesome? The Galaxy A54 5G is the poster child for Samsung's mid-range devices. Our review highlights upgrades over last year's model, especially the SoC, display brightness, a new sensor for the main camera as well as eSIM support.
