Samsung Galaxy A54 5G Hands-On: First Impression

The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G has been launched in four vibrant colors – Light Green, Light Violet, Black, and White. Our Samsung Galaxy A54 5G hands-on article features the Light Violet version which appears to have a slight blue tint when viewed from different angles.

This year, the Galaxy A54 5G sports a fresh design language and refined finishing materials, particularly at the back of the device. It resembles a compact version of the Galaxy S23/S23+, flaunting a flat design and glossy glass finish as opposed to the rough plastic back of the previous year’s model. Additionally, the primary camera cluster is vertically aligned with the three lenses located separately instead of being housed in a single camera module like earlier.

In addition, the handset’s structure will still be composed of plastic and have a slightly curved design for a comfortable grip. The charging port, physical buttons, speakerphone, voice mic, and sim slot are all located in this area.

As for the primary camera specifications, Galaxy A54 5G for this year omits one lens from the cluster, resulting in a configuration of three lenses. These include a 50MP wide-angle camera, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 5MP macro camera, with the depth camera being the lens that was removed. Given that the depth camera is often seen as redundant and unnecessary, Samsung’s decision to eliminate this lens is quite justified.

Samsung has announced that the Galaxy A54 5G launched this year boasts significant upgrades in camera quality. Notably, the device now features an enhanced OIS anti-shake ability, which has been boosted up to 1.6 times its previous capability. The image enhancer has been optimized, and the low-light focusing technology has been improved, resulting in even better performance in low-light conditions. Moreover, the A54 5G’s night mode has been improved through a larger sensor and pixel density.

As for the front-facing features, the Galaxy A54 5G comes equipped with a 6.4-inch screen that utilizes a Super AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung’s screens are renowned for their exceptional display quality, which includes exceptional detail, color reproduction, brightness, and contrast.

The Galaxy A54 5G from Samsung retains the Infinity-O display design, which features a 32MP selfie camera positioned at the center of the top edge of the screen. Furthermore, as the device utilizes AMOLED panels, it also incorporates an optical fingerprint sensor underneath the display for easy accessibility.

Regarding its performance, the Galaxy A54 5G is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 1380 chip, which is produced in-house. This chip delivers satisfactory performance that fulfills both daily and entertainment requirements. You can see Galaxy A54 5G specs here.

The authentic UK variant of the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G will come in two memory variants, namely, 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB. Additionally, the device comes fitted with a 5000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging technology, albeit users would have to purchase the charging accessories separately as they aren’t included in the package. The Galaxy A54 5G is powered by Android 13 and boasts the latest One UI 5.1 interface. The device also features IP67 waterproof support, providing users with complete peace of mind while using it.
