The power and volume buttons are well-placed, but the plastic frame takes some of the polish off the design. Meanwhile, there’s a hole-punch-style 32MP selfie camera on the front. There’s a 50 megapixel (MP) wide lens, 12MP ultrawide, and 5MP macro on the back. On the back, you’ll find a triple rear camera array, with a similar layout to the Galaxy S23 range but forgoing telephoto in favor of macro – which will satisfy some people and disappoint others. Unlike some larger handsets, reaching for the power button or fingerprint reader with your thumb doesn’t leave the handset teetering in your grip (although people with small hands might feel differently). Instead, there’s one built into the screen, which is actually easiest to reach with your thumb (or your pointer finger on the other hand). Power and volume buttons are on the right edge although, unlike some handsets, the power button doesn’t double as a fingerprint reader. That Gorilla Glass 5 back makes it a slippery sucker, and it’s surprisingly easy to fumble the phone in your hands, so you might consider investing in a protective case. The Galaxy A54 feels well-balanced in your hand, and the glass back certainly helps give it that premium look and feel, even if it’s let down by a plastic frame rather than aluminum.


You can see how Samsung is working to unify the design language of the A and range-topping S series handsets. With a great 6.4-inch display, sturdy premium build, and triple camera array, the Samsung Galaxy A54 certainly makes a great first impression for a mid-range handset. The Samsung Galaxy A54 bridges the gap between Samsung’s A series and S series smartphone. More Samsung news and reviews on GadgetGuy Details: Samsung Galaxy A54 5G Australian website

It steps into the crowded high end of the mid-range Android market as a serious contender up against the likes of Google’s Pixel 6a (and perhaps the Pixel 7a if the Google I/O fairy delivers the goods).
#SAMNSUNG IMPRESSION UPDATE#
With an elegant design, decent cameras, a fair amount of grunt, and a generous software update path, the Samsung Galaxy A54 pushes the A series into new territory. Shop wisely and you’ll get plenty of change from a thousand bucks for a top-quality smartphone which will serve you well for much longer than two years. The good news is that mid-range smartphones keep going from strength to strength.
