The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, originally launched in March 2023 and refreshed in 2025, is positioned as a premium mid-range smartphone. Designed for users who want performance, style, and long-term software support without breaking the bank, it competes against rivals like the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G and Vivo T4 5G.
Design and Build
The Galaxy A54 5G comes with a glass back and plastic frame, making it both stylish and practical. Measuring 158.2×76.7×8.2 mm and weighing 202 grams, it strikes a balance between sturdiness and portability. The phone is IP67-certified for water and dust resistance and features Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Color options include Awesome Lime, Awesome Graphite, and Awesome Violet.
Display
Samsung has equipped the phone with a 6.4-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display offering 120Hz refresh rate, 403 ppi density, and peak brightness of 1000 nits. Slim bezels, sharp colors, and smooth scrolling make it excellent for gaming, movies, and everyday use.
Performance and Software
Powered by the Exynos 1380 octa-core processor (5nm), the device handles multitasking and gaming with ease. RAM variants include 6GB and 8GB with 128GB/256GB storage, expandable up to 1TB. The phone runs Android 13 with One UI 5.0, upgradeable to Android 15, and offers 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches.
Camera
The triple-camera setup includes a 50MP primary lens with OIS, 12MP ultra-wide, and 5MP macro lens, alongside a 32MP selfie shooter. Daylight shots are crisp and vibrant, while low-light photos are decent but not class-leading. Night Mode and 4K recording add to its versatility.
Battery and Charging
With a 5000mAh battery, the A54 5G easily lasts 1.5–2 days on moderate use. It supports 25W fast charging, reaching 100% in about 75 minutes.
Connectivity and Features
The phone supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and dual SIM. It comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, but no 3.5mm headphone jack.
Price in India
- 6GB/128GB – ₹25,999
- 8GB/256GB – ₹31,998
On-road prices range from ₹29,500–₹35,500, with festive discounts and exchange offers often available.
Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G stands out with its vibrant AMOLED display, strong battery, capable cameras, and long-term software support. While it misses out on wireless charging and a headphone jack, it remains one of the best mid-range 5G phones in India.
