if you ask me, the A54 is an incredible phone! the phone is very fast and smooth for the price, the display is big, bright,and colorful. the 120hz refresh rate is buttery smooth, and makes the phone feel more expensive.

The ZuPick verdict
2.3out of 5
SkipBest at value, weakest at performance.
Strong update support, expandable storage and IP67 protection cannot offset the major compromises. Performance, charging, display brightness and zoom capability all trail what buyers should expect around ₹40,000.
Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.Performance1.7
It scores about 0.5 million on AnTuTu, far below what most phones at this price manage. Its 8 GB RAM is adequate, but UFS 2.2 storage is slower than rivals use; four years of Android updates is the main strength.Camera2.5
The 50 MP main camera has optical stabilisation, while the 12 MP ultrawide and 32 MP front camera cover everyday shooting. However, no optical zoom and a 4K30 video limit make the system basic against current alternatives.Display2.6
Super AMOLED technology and a 120Hz refresh rate provide rich contrast and smooth scrolling. The Full HD resolution and 1000-nit brightness are modest compared with sharper and substantially brighter rivals.Battery2.2
The 5000 mAh battery lasts about 14 hours 30 minutes in testing, offering reasonable endurance. Slow 25W charging and the lack of wireless charging make the overall experience weak for this price.Value3.6
The ₹40,357 price is close to the lower end of this class, which improves its appeal. Even so, weak performance, slow charging and limited camera reach prevent it from being a genuine bargain.Price history

Pros & cons
What’s good
Long software commitment
Four years of Android updates and five years of security support make ownership more predictable. That commitment remains competitive for buyers who keep their phones for several years.
Durable glass-backed build
Gorilla Glass on the front and back gives it a more substantial feel. IP67 protection adds reassurance against dust, rain and accidental immersion.
Useful expandable storage
Storage expansion of up to 1 TB is valuable for large photo, video and offline-media libraries. The hybrid slot means expansion uses the second SIM position.
What’s not
Performance trails badly
Everyday tasks should run adequately, but gaming and demanding apps are far behind stronger alternatives. Slow UFS 2.2 storage further affects installation and loading speeds.
Slow cable-only charging
The 25W charging system is unusually slow when 80W is common around this price. There is no wireless charging, so every top-up requires a cable.
No optical zoom
The camera relies on digital cropping for distant subjects, losing detail compared with phones offering dedicated 3x or 5x lenses. Video also stops at 4K30 rather than 4K60.
Dim Full HD display
The 120Hz Super AMOLED panel delivers smooth motion, but its Full HD resolution and 1000-nit peak brightness lag sharper, brighter alternatives. Outdoor visibility is therefore less convincing.
What owners say
From Redditr/samsungan owner
the A54 is an amazing phone, and it just works. everytime, it does what I want it to do.
r/samsungan owner
my problem with the phone is the battery. since I got the phone back in June, I've been searching and searching and searching to find an answer to my problem, and I've created many reddit posts, talked to Samsung support, tried many google searches, and tried everything I could think of, still to no success.
r/samsungan owner
while connected to WiFi, I do some messaging, I watch some YouTube videos, I spend some time on Reddit, and some other light tasks. no gaming, or anything heavy like that. no matter what I do, I can only make the battery last about 4 hours, often more like 3.5 hours.
r/GalaxyA54u/silverhazesupreme
I got up at 6:30 AM, unplugged, went to work, came back and it is now 6:50 PM and my battery is at 74%. I'm no heavy user and most of the day I'm on WiFi networks.
r/GalaxyA54an owner
Make fun of me of what I have to say, but I seriously don't like the A54 since I purchased it this January. Most of the issues I face, are may be due to the high temperature in my region, which reaches upto 48C.
r/GalaxyA54an owner
Battery drains quickly. I barely get a day on Wifi, with 5:30 SoT max (no gaming, just Teams, Facebook, YT, WhatsApp and Reddit)
r/GalaxyA54an owner
since I got the phone in June, this phone has had extremely poor battery life. I don't do anything extremely processor intensive. I do some messaging, I scroll reddit, and other very light tasks. but my battery life is absolutely terrible.
