For the microSD, its not about being tech savvy, its about storing a bunch of stuff and not worrying about eating up your phones internal memory. As well, want to put your phone back to factory, you just remove your card and all your data is safe. As well, can load a ton of movie or TV shows on your SD card and have a ton to watch when you don't have access to data, I'm tech savvy, and I will always want an internal storage card

Hello, I only see one spot for sd cards. I am wondering if it is only one spot, how supposed I will put inside a 1tb expandable memory plus the normal sd card for functionality of the cellphone? Thanks
@@virgil3241 does it have an independent Micr SD card slot ? or does that slot have to be shared with a SIM card ? .. in other words ; can I put 2 SIM cards and MicroSD , meaning is there room for ALL 3 ? or do I have to remove one of the sims in order to use the MicroSD ? thanks
Got this phone from Verizon yesterday and love it! Came from a Galaxy A50 and the improvement is fabulous. Not a gamer or heavy camera user so this is perfect for me! Screen is gorgeous!!! Love the refresh rate. It is snappy and smooth so far. Hoping it will last at least 3 to 4 years!! ❤
To me cons #1, 2 and 3 are not cons. Let me explain. #1 - I ordered S23 Ultra and A54 at the same time. And man, how S23U disapointed me, when it comes to pictures in bad light conditions. And I had high expectations. With A54 my expectations are exactly where they should be when it comes to a phone a paid £300 for (8/256GB). I have confirmed again, that if I want proper pictures, I need to carry my dslr with me, and no flagship will come even close to it. #2 - I have had this phone for 2 weeks now, and not a single stutter in normal use, #3 S23U came with exactly same amount of accessories :). I have been steering clear form flagships, because they take "good" pictures, but nor good enough for me; same with their performance - if I want to play, I use my gaming rig. All I want from the phone is good quality screen, good battery life, good speakers (especially for phone speaker) - this phone meets my expectations and most likely will stay with me until it runs out of security updates (5 years).
It's better for me to stay with Samsung cons than buying a Chinese device with poor software optimisation, uncertain software update and poor customer service aka value for money devices.
Agree. I have been quite happy with honor devices but when it came to decide which phone I would buy for my mother I immediately opted for samsung over honor 70. Honor has better build quality and amazing cameras but by the end of 2024 not even security patches will be released anymore
Everyone assumes that's it's people on a budget who buy these phones.....well it isn't. I know well off people with midrange phones and people on limited income who scrimp and save to get a flagship. It's a question of priorities.
I agree. I am a person who really enjoys cameras, I don't need it for serious pics, I have Sony Camera for that(wifi pics from it and can use phone as video for camera), the camera for me is just for basics because I have outside tools that far exceed the camera's features that I can use with the camera. It also has expandable storage that is excellent for packing in documents and tons of pics and videos (I TB is perfect!) .
As usual fantastic review, however I am using the A54 camera all the time and get really good shots, I think there was an update that fixed both the camera and the stutter.
I went from a Redmi Note 7 to the A54 and I don't notice any stutter and the camera is a big improvement compared to the xiaomi. I heard a lot of complaints about the processor being an Exynos, to be honest I don't have any complaint so far. The only thing is that I was used to MUI interface and I need to adapt to the samsung one. Also, about the screen, I don't see any improvement from the Redmi Note 7, I don't really understand why reviewers are so pleased with it. If you want a good mid rande phone with expandable storage, good quality photos, good battery life, decent performances and 5 years updates, look no further :)
@@MargoLegends the screen is 2K, not 4K. On such a small display 4K is useless. I put the video in 4K from the Tourister and the image is super good and rich in colours.
Could you please share your experiences about A54's camera and heating issue... Cause I also wanna update from my redmi note 7 🙂... And some extra info or your personal preference if you want...
Great Review, you covered all the important points I usually look for.. I will never buy a phone without a Micro SD Card slot as it makes moving to a new phone and adding extra memory so convenient, so I will never get to enjoy the great Camera of a Google Pixel phone!🤣
@@mitch6962 sure A34 is a better option for its price if you don't care about camera quality, punch hole camera and glass back. I even saw some people said that A54 might start to lag after 2 years or so for its Exynos chipset.
Another Cons, it does supported with wireless charger. But I bought one in Awesome Lime, and I can tell, it is a great phone! With the massive battery, it can last for 2 day use👍🏻
i love the camera. most especially it has AI that automatically detects anything you are taking photos of such as documents food etc. very useful for students, one only need to take photo of the board . no more taking down notes. you can even copy paste text out of photos and remove photo bombers in an instant
I purchased this phone yesterday and it came with a free Galaxy watch 4 so EVEN BETTER! The watch made me not care about not having a plug in adapter - I just want a basic phone so I know this phone will be great for me; I am coming from a Galaxy Z flip phone (due to screen of death) THANKS for the pro/con explanations
Samsung made a big deal about the nighttime picture taking and lots of reviews I've seen & heard the main sensor took some amazing low light shots. Not the ultra wide or macro, only the main sensor and not on 50mp but the default 12.5mp which uses 4 to make 1 bigger mp allowing more light in.
I like the camera too. Not as good as flagship but far from bad. The front camera is great for selfies. My 12 y/o has taken a million since she got phone a few weeks ago.
@alexgataric So your daughter likes it? I'm thinking about getting the a54 5g for my 14-year-old daughter. She currently has the a51 5g with a cracked screen.
@ronnierockafella5482 I'd get it. It'll get five years of updates and will last her through high school. The battery life is really good and 25W charging is fairly fast. I have an S22 Ultra and find the performance acceptable considering I'm a phone snob. EDIT: I got mine from Amazon for $355 and included a 25w charger. I got a vecomelo case and usb c headphones to complete the package I gave my daughter.
Kodos for your fair review.. Through my experience after one week of using A54 phone lags horribly when you watch football matches. The phone also struggles to focus on wapp few seconds when there are a lot of graphics, images and videos. Camera especially under low light performs just average. Over all Samsung A54 5G is anexcellance mid range phone and I love it.
I’ve been using my Samsung Note9 since 2019 when I bought it second hand at around $350 or something. It’s been such a good phone but sadly it’s now lagging in the most important area a phone should never lag in, like making phone calls, even when trying to call my voicemail it just says ‘calling’ for over a minute then hangs up on me, then I can’t even call anyone without it doing the same or only able to text them to call me, and then they can’t. It’s unfortunately time to upgrade but I’m now can’t even afford the second hand, previously owned or refurbished phones that are already 2 years old. I love the note series or any that come with the s-pen but can’t even dream about owning one at this point. Even people on eBay are ridiculous, for a S22 Ultra they want $600 for one that has lines on it, majorly cracked screens, and one even mentioned in the fine print that the back was starting to bulge, like seriously? They want that much for a phone that’s showing sign’s it’s about to explode? So this might be a cheapER alternative even though I will dearly miss my s-pen. If it wasn’t for the tax return I wouldn’t be able to even get this one. It’s pretty sad how expensive phones haven’t gotten and how long they last before trying to force people to buy a new one. This is considered a budget phone but it’s really not for people like me who are on SSI or other means of living. I personally do and don’t care about the SD card slot because of almost every phone in the past rejecting them and stops reading them after so many years. It doesn’t affect my decision at this point. I LOVE that it comes with long term updates. It’s rare. Appreciate the reviews on it.
Sakitech I want to thank you for explaining to us viewers about the A54., very impressed with the advice given by you in a simple format. Once again Thank you....🎉
so they include the os it comes with has an update? Bit of a swizz there; updates should be 14,15,16, 17 not 13,14,15,16. The apple 14 are updated till 2029, android 14 comes out this year, so 16 will be 2025 the last update; pretty much 2 year updates real time.
Everyone has a few charging blocks laying around, not really a con. You can get one for under $5 if you really need one. Also, for stutters turn off 120hz refresh rate & turn off RAM plus (RAM plus uses internal memory as RAM and is many times slower than actual RAM). The A53 actually did have a lag problem and those 2 things fixed it - and the A54 is a faster phone and big improvement over the A53; I haven't noticed any lag with it at all, but I do optimize my phones.
Exactly, chargers are no big thing, the important feature for me is the wire. The lag can be fixed with software updates and not bogging it down with software like bloatware, android and micro soft are known for.
@@The.Man.WithAPlan 6 gigs is plenty for this phone - The US version doesn't have 8 GB option. Just close out apps when not in use. Don't ever use RAM plus, it slows your phone.

I don’t why everyone thinks exynos processor is bad, it is very well optimized on samsung devices i used exynos 850, 6345 both are very well optimized, im gonna buy this phone exynos 1380
If you put the phone on the slowest settings, and use it in the wrong way - it does stutter like most phones in the market. But, if you use it accordingly its pretty much smooth.
I've had one for about 1 month. My very first "smart phone". At 65 years of age. It started disconnecting from the internet constantly. I was panicking until I finally figured out what the problem was. I would rest my phone inches away from my PC's modem. Once I moved my phone a few feet away? Perfect.
324 at bestbuy black friday.. got it a couple days ago they have black Friday prices early. I live in Arizona I keep the brightness not even a quarter way up and it's bright enough not even past half from the bottom.. cameras good enough takes nice photos.. mind you I don't take a hell of a lot of photos only to sell things, but still compared to a iphone 7 this thing beats it, it absolutely never stutters.. you don't have your ram memory set up right... also, you probably leave every application open. Me I close them after 10 or so... even the top end phones don't come with the charger anymore
I bought yesterday . No stutter , no heating , ..only thing is selfie camera or main camera. I am coming from s8. The phone is also heavy little bit. Processor is more than good i must say ,can handle multi tasking excellent.
I was disappointed all I got was a cable to charge. The older phone I had for 6 years came with charger headphones. So far liking the phone. Thank you so much for the review.
A minor of this phone is also the screen edge. I have an annoying edge around of about 3mm! Is there any adjustment to set this on full screen? You can set some app on full screen, but not the phone. I came from a huawei p30 pro and the screen was just perfect in balance.
Why no Charger, not acceptable in this day and age, and the honor 90 lite does not stutter, 2 Better Processor , Great video, answered a lot of questions
just got this phone brand new for 200 (8gb ram version too) lol, i thought it was a steal and i got bored of my iphone 11 (i’ve used android b4) let’s see how it goes!
I'm thankful they don't provide earphones. Two reasons: I bet each of us have at least 10 pairs of earphones lying around at home. All of them came free one place or another. I would have liked a TPU case instead. And a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.
Got to agree. My s23 (6.1" version) can super-fast charge with a 25-watt brick. Already had one laying around, but if I didn't? Less than 10 bucks on Amazon would fix it. As far as "normal" charging bricks? I've got a box full of 5 - 18-watt chargers, so do most folks that I know.
the is the best review I have seen for A54 address cons and really make me reconsider this phone. I think Iphone 11 is a superior phone almost at the same price can get cheaper with 64gb option and cons with 4g, LCD and no longer software update after this year. Other than that Iphone 11 is a better option for me I must say
Having realised my otherwise great Xiaomi is about to have security updates stopped this aspect is a priority. The con I have a big issue with is the charger costing extra. And that's a USB C each end cable, so would need a special charger! No big deal on earphones though.
I wear hearing aids, so the lack of a headphone jack is not a problem. What I need to know though, is wether the phone supports the Asha protocol ( connects via Bluetooth between my hearing aids and my phone. Reviews never mention the Accessibly options, and it's quite difficult to find out without physically having the phone to test. I've already had to return my new Samsung A15, as Asha wasn't available on it. My hearings aids recognised the phone, but were unable to connect to it. I'm worried about making the same mistake again.
I ve never owned a Samsung just recently with Google pixel pro started using android as my second device I’m so tempted to get this phone but I’m being cheap I don’t wanna the price for it
I used to get phones like this but after having an ultra s22.... I bought a note 20 ultra for 400$ last year, I'll stick to old flagship phones b4 buying these kinda phones
The lack of even a basic charger is annoying. It is penny pinching 'green washing' that Samsung and Apple do this. It's very similar to how printer manufacturers would ship printers without including the usb cables. They did this so the retailing stores could sell usb cables at inflated prices.
Just ordered A54 due A50 not 5G. I'm gonna miss having a jack and FM radio. Buds always die on me and when I'm on the bus like today phone near dying I turned off data and just used FM.
Cons : -very heavy 202gr -still ufs 2.1 -no charger in box -doesn't had stabilization on 4k@30 -camera pictures quality colours is flat -big ugly outdated bezzel in the front display -no support apps/games from devs for exynos -processor had the slowest performance compared to competitor
i got this phone a couple weeks and liking it very much. but Dolby Atmos on a phone??? c'mon man that's a goofy gimmick. and everybody already has a charger and earbuds.
yeah if you need action pics or low light it's a problem but there are work arounds, the video is beautiful though. I have a camera so it's no big thing.
thanks for doing this in english! i presume you're from india. there are lot of indian tech channels but once they open their mouth it's 100% garbage sputtering for someone like me who doesnt know any of the indian languages.
Hi sakitech good morning my name is Ricardo thanks for d update with d samsung A54 was going to buy myself d samsung A54 i change my mind samsung A53 instead is it a good buy for me

For the microSD, its not about being tech savvy, its about storing a bunch of stuff and not worrying about eating up your phones internal memory. As well, want to put your phone back to factory, you just remove your card and all your data is safe.

I've had one for about 1 month. My very first "smart phone". At 65 years of age. It started disconnecting from the internet constantly. I was panicking until I finally figured out what the problem was. I would rest my phone inches away from my PC's modem. Once I moved my phone a few feet away? Perfect.

324 at bestbuy black friday.. got it a couple days ago they have black Friday prices early. I live in Arizona I keep the brightness not even a quarter way up and it's bright enough not even past half from the bottom.. cameras good enough takes nice photos.. mind you I don't take a hell of a lot of photos only to sell things, but still compared to a iphone 7 this thing beats it, it absolutely never stutters.. you don't have your ram memory set up right... also, you probably leave every application open. Me I close them after 10 or so... even the top end phones don't come with the charger anymore
Just turn off ram plus your phone running smoothly.
My vivo v27 doesn't stutter samung should have put a 7 series Snapdragon in the A54 big mistake
Great review. Now convinced to buy the A54 over the Xperia 10 V, xiaomi 13T, LG V60 5G,
When it comes to ""stutters" the Samsung A53 also had some noticeable stutters but it was gone after like 5-6 months of updates
I'm using this phone for almost 3 weeks ,so far its nice ..the dolby sound is syperb for the a person like me who love watching kdramas..
I bought yesterday . No stutter , no heating , ..only thing is selfie camera or main camera. I am coming from s8.
The phone is also heavy little bit.
Processor is more than good i must say ,can handle multi tasking excellent.
Turn off your ram plus. Phone running smoothly no stutter no lags.
Does disabling the 120hz eliminate the stutter?
I was disappointed all I got was a cable to charge. The older phone I had for 6 years came with charger headphones. So far liking the phone. Thank you so much for the review.
Same.
Me too, got charger replacement on Amazon
A minor of this phone is also the screen edge. I have an annoying edge around of about 3mm! Is there any adjustment to set this on full screen? You can set some app on full screen, but not the phone. I came from a huawei p30 pro and the screen was just perfect in balance.
Awesome overall review, disappointed about the missing charger as well
Me too. 😢
Remove navigation gestures and put on standard keys back buttons, stutter will be gone
really? Can you explain?
Why no Charger, not acceptable in this day and age, and the honor 90 lite does not stutter, 2 Better Processor , Great video, answered a lot of questions
Yes, I was also shocked to see only cable in the case of the mobile.... nothing els here....
Me watching this on my Galaxy A54 5G
just got this phone brand new for 200 (8gb ram version too) lol, i thought it was a steal and i got bored of my iphone 11 (i’ve used android b4) let’s see how it goes!
Ye0, i just picked one up for £220..... apparantly if you can get it for £260 then you should RUN not WALK to get it. - so looks like we did well. 👍
I admire your eye opning honesty! I would still buy this phone because for me the pros out weigh the cons...
This seems much better then my A51 and it is helping in my decision to get this or the google pixel 7
I'm thankful they don't provide earphones. Two reasons: I bet each of us have at least 10 pairs of earphones lying around at home. All of them came free one place or another. I would have liked a TPU case instead. And a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.
Very informative video, congratulations
A older Snapdragon 865 to 888 processor would've been way better than the one this phone has.😅
Unless you're a big gamer, it's not that noticeable a difference.
7:27 - What is a better option than the A54 at this price ? Appreciate your reviews. Thanks.
I like your objective assessment 👍
Why no one talks about the phone getting hot while usual use
Good video...but, Con #3; 99.99% of people already have a charging block from their previous phones. So, not getting one included never bothered me.
Got to agree. My s23 (6.1" version) can super-fast charge with a 25-watt brick. Already had one laying around, but if I didn't? Less than 10 bucks on Amazon would fix it. As far as "normal" charging bricks? I've got a box full of 5 - 18-watt chargers, so do most folks that I know.
Any issue with the virtual proximity sensor ??
great job i have this phone no problems
Ihave been using it for few days its very nice
the is the best review I have seen for A54 address cons and really make me reconsider this phone. I think Iphone 11 is a superior phone almost at the same price can get cheaper with 64gb option and cons with 4g, LCD and no longer software update after this year. Other than that Iphone 11 is a better option for me I must say
Iphone 11 is worst iphone made in recent years and this is way more better.
@@frankreynolds9930You think so? Iphone 11 is really outdated and having a dilemma between Iphone11, A54 and A34
Having realised my otherwise great Xiaomi is about to have security updates stopped this aspect is a priority. The con I have a big issue with is the charger costing extra. And that's a USB C each end cable, so would need a special charger! No big deal on earphones though.
I wear hearing aids, so the lack of a headphone jack is not a problem. What I need to know though, is wether the phone supports the Asha protocol ( connects via Bluetooth between my hearing aids and my phone. Reviews never mention the Accessibly options, and it's quite difficult to find out without physically having the phone to test. I've already had to return my new Samsung A15, as Asha wasn't available on it. My hearings aids recognised the phone, but were unable to connect to it. I'm worried about making the same mistake again.
After the update cameras work great best on a midrange, and the main sensor can compete in some cases with s23 one ui 6.0 resolve the problems
Is a big upgrade for me from old galaxy S8 i like it so far
my first and foremost issue with Chinese brand in privacy and security. So love Samsung.
I wish they at least gave u an option of paying an extra 5 pound to buy a version that comes with a charger.
I ve never owned a Samsung just recently with Google pixel pro started using android as my second device I’m so tempted to get this phone but I’m being cheap I don’t wanna the price for it
Great video. Thank you very much for the info 👍🏽
I used to get phones like this but after having an ultra s22.... I bought a note 20 ultra for 400$ last year, I'll stick to old flagship phones b4 buying these kinda phones
The lack of even a basic charger is annoying. It is penny pinching 'green washing' that Samsung and Apple do this. It's very similar to how printer manufacturers would ship printers without including the usb cables. They did this so the retailing stores could sell usb cables at inflated prices.
Just ordered A54 due A50 not 5G. I'm gonna miss having a jack and FM radio. Buds always die on me and when I'm on the bus like today phone near dying I turned off data and just used FM.
Cons :
-very heavy 202gr
-still ufs 2.1
-no charger in box
-doesn't had stabilization on 4k@30
-camera pictures quality colours is flat
-big ugly outdated bezzel in the front display
-no support apps/games from devs for exynos
-processor had the slowest performance compared to competitor
i got this phone a couple weeks and liking it very much. but Dolby Atmos on a phone??? c'mon man that's a goofy gimmick. and everybody already has a charger and earbuds.
👍🏽💯🎓✅ great review ,helps to make a decision in this " overcrowded " smartphone space ! Thank You.🎉🎉🎉❤
I wanna see if another A series of Samsung could be a 5.7 inches or 5.88 inches or a 6.1 inches.
I was sold until the camera. That's important to me.
yeah if you need action pics or low light it's a problem but there are work arounds, the video is beautiful though. I have a camera so it's no big thing.
Wait, I just purchased one from metro T mobile that comes with 20 watt fast charger 😳
thanks for doing this in english! i presume you're from india. there are lot of indian tech channels but once they open their mouth it's 100% garbage sputtering for someone like me who doesnt know any of the indian languages.
want to upgrade from a Samsung A51 from two years any recomdations
Hi sakitech good morning my name is Ricardo thanks for d update with d samsung A54 was going to buy myself d samsung A54 i change my mind samsung A53 instead is it a good buy for me
Very nice review n break dwn of pros n cons....thanks
I love this phone. I only hate the portrait mode on the camera. It should be a telephoto lens, not a wide lens. The bokeh looks really artificial. 😓😪
Thanks for the review.
Saki, You mentione there are othercbudget phones comparable in this $ class. Wich one as an sd card slot?
Your pecs are phenomenal sir
The cons he talks about are personal reasons not biased
Most informative ❤love from India ❤
I’m satisfied 😊
My choice is perfect 😂
All said is not good phone blah blah 😂
Very well highlighted but I too felt the package was put off, they cud offer charger at least!
4 OS upgrades from Android 13 means up to and including Android 17 ??
Great review thanks!!
