It's pleasantly surprising to see Dark Ash make a return, for a little while I thought he was pushed from over the table.

Got the Galaxy A54 5G 256GB 8GB variant at 38K during the launch offer but I got the Galaxy Buds Live at 1K and free 25watt charging adapter. So the effective price of the phone alone came down to 35K which ( could have availed further 3K discount ) if I used SBI CC. Been using the phone for around a month and half now. My personal experience is pretty good. The design language, form factor and build quality ( except for the polycarbonate frame ) are off the charts for a mid ranger. The display and the picture quality ( if you value and understand what I mean ) are outstanding. It supports HDR on KZfaq and Amazon Prime. Dosen't support on Netflix yet. I am used to OLED TV so I value picture quality and high refresh rates. Yes the battery takes about 80 mins to charge from 0 to 100 and yes certainly could have been much better at this price range. Once its fully charged it has always lasted close to 2 days with light usage and more than a day with moderate to heavy usage. ( voice calls. Whatsapp video calls, hours of browsing, watching YT videos and streaming content from OTT , office calls on MS Teams, etc.) I dont play games on my phone. I didnt experience any lag or sluggishness while operating the phone or while switching between apps. Yeah it may not be the snappiest around but nothing thay I should be worried about. Now I am an amateur photographer so as far as the optics are concened, I wouldnt say that I have anything to complain. There is a slight shutter lag during certain shots I have observed. The camera is just a tool remember. If you know how to take good photos the primary optics on this device will surpirse you with its capabilities. Over the past month and half of usage It has fallen from a height of 2 - 3 feet at least 5 times without being in a case. Believe me not even a single scratch.. But Inhad put it the pocket with few coins and keys, it landed up with a slight scratch on the screen. I have now put a tempered glass and a transparent case just to be safe than sorry 😂 Overall I can say that since I was able to get a mid ranger from a non Chinese brand with solid looks and build, superb display, great battery life performance, capable optics and secure , reliable platform supporting 4 OS updates and 5 years of security updates at an effective price of 35K , I am a happy camper. If this was availabe at an selling price of 32 - 35k this would have been a no brainer in my opinion.

How could we forget the *Pleasantly Suprising* We'd love to see the BadAsh back!

THANK YOU! Someone really needed to say this! When I saw all the online chatter on this phone, I thought that Samsung had finally upped the value of their A50 series to match the competition. But a simple glance at the spec sheet just reveals how the phone is GROSSLY overpriced.

I REMEMBER "PLEASANTLY SURPRISING" 😭😭😋

I've been using it for over a month now and I've had no lag/stutter issues. The issues I've had are somewhat less battery life then I expected and no Camera2 API support. Meaning no RAW photography and no Gcam for this phone.

Pleasantly surprised to see Dark Ash making a return. The Force is strong in this video! #30Squad

Good review and very valid criticisms. Right now in Sri Lanka where I live it’s about 27,000INR for 256gb on the grey market and seems worth it at that price

I got this phone for 359 US here that's a good price for a phone. I agree with everything you said. There is lag however I feel it's more do to software then the cheap itself, I could be wrong here. If Samsung would stop messing around and actually put a good chip in the next A55 they would have a huge winner. Unfortunately I don't think that's going to happen.

4:39 The thing I needed to know :) is it true ? improved temperatures !?

4 years of OS updates but ash do you think this phone will age that well after 4 yrs if it is stuttering now

25k is its real value i felt after comparing to the competition.

Buying an A54 over Nord 4 or Nord 4CE at this point seems like a decent options?

Aw. No unboxing that shows us the "cool" color with gorilla glass and sim ejector tool? Build and durability? "High Breed Sim" and NFC? O-yeah-yes? Uninstall bloat on screen for some weird reason?1380 chipset, what do you say.....

Thanks c4etech Many youtubers are trying to compromise and making to buy by comparing with s23 😂

I knew that you would give the honest practicality thoughts on the particular device, which kinda meet expectations and thoughts ❤️ The real truth ❤️

Savage Ash is back! That's awesome. Pleasently suprised indeed.

As always, a comprehensive and honest review by Ash anna.❤ #30Squad

Intiially I also thought so to go with A54 alongside with my S23 ultra. But after a hands on experience in offline shops( thanks samsung has too many offline store) I gone for S23. I got it at 55 k after exchange of my screen damaged S21 ultra. I also got S23 ultra at 56k after exchange of my 12 pro Max. I am literally quiet happy with it. S23 is the best compact device in the market now. I so so ❤❤❤❤it. S23 ultra is also a big beast . This year samsung nailed the flagships. Sorry 🍎 apple but completely switched from iOS , I am the happiest person.

I think if the Pixel 7a is priced right it can be a good competitor to the A54.

I'm wondering whether this phone will be alive to handle A17 as they promise 4yrs of update 😅

If the launch price would have been 35k then it was a good deal, 4 years android update and waterproof. Waterproofing for me is a must as i travel a lot on bike my a52 never makes me worrying in the rain.

I've always thought Samsung phones were overpriced. The A54 might make sense in western markets which is home to MKHBD's target audience. But in a cost conscious market like India there are way cheaper and better alternatives available. Yes, Samsung phones come with a better update cycle and a more refined UI, but that does not offset the lack of a charger in the box ,the cost of which most people don't realise has to be added on to an already expensive phone !

I just got this phone last week and didn't expect it to be so thick and heavy. Not really satisfied with the design. However, the performance of the phone and all the specs and features are amazing and in that aspect, I'm beyond satisfied

I really appreciate that you actually gave examples when you said there are better options

I definitely agree that the A54 is grossly overpriced in India, I mean the A series almost always has been (maybe except the A52s for a little while) While Samsung does provide more software updates, I don't think so it's a good idea to get a Samsung at the launch price. Wait a little and get one at a sale and there you have it.

I bought this for my dad. For 24999 INR. Today, Dec 2023.

The S21 FE is the best value Samsung phone rn imo. Performance is good, cameras are excellent + the telephoto lens which is so so good to have rather than some stupid macro camera that nobody uses. Battery life is decent. It makes so much sense to buy that over this A54 crap.

That was a quality review man 👌

If we consider the other youtubers, then every phone is good in some way. So we don't need to watch reviews. If the youtubers are just amplifying what the brand launches, the what's the point of watching KZfaqrs? Irony 😂. By the way great video Ash. ❤️

Max to max 30k can be given for this considering brand image of Samsung

30 to 35 thousand is good price for 256 gb phone Im saying this because no one gives after sale support like samsung and we also have the software support and ip67 certification with sd card slot If it didn't had all of this i would say 25k is more than enough for this

What an honest review. Even when Samsung doesn't deliver what you pay for, KZfaqrs tend to recommend it. I don't think it's a wise idea to buy this phone based on the fact that it mimics the design of the s23 series while leaving out the most important features.

i am using that same phone now. Just got it like two weeks ago and i have not seen the same issues that he has saw. Mine is a 8GB ram model. its ruining one U.I 6.0. Its a 90% flagship experience in my opinion. I am not a heavy user on a per app basis but i always have Spotify or KZfaq in the background and some kind of social media and even a video call running at he same time, but i have not replicated his cons. It might be due to the fact that, the phone has been out for almost 7 months and Samsung has had ample time to catch up on the optimizations. Never the less, shows you that reviewers need to be reviewed too. They often cover a product only at launch and never revisit or can revisit the product, genuinely , due to the short time they spend with phones relative to the expected 3-4 years a person MIGHT keep this phone and Samsung would keep it updated, a promised 4 years. until android 17. The cameras were a pleasant surprise especially the ultrawide. Main cam is a 50 Meg snapper with optical level stabilization which takes really nice day time shots with enough light and low light is also acceptable too if the subject is not in complete darkness. the macro cam is a feature i only used once so that is that. On the display its amazing! samsung known how to calibrate a screen. BTW i dally drove a redmi note 10 pro for about 2 years, i know what a good screen should look like. All in all this phone is dope if you are considering this or a xiaomi get this one in the same price group. flashy specs dont mean day to day usage will be great in fact when a phone is marketed for one specific halo feature that means other aspects are often overlooked. The samsung brand is a brand that has been around for a long time, they know a thing or two about daily usage and they nailed it with the a 54. I will probably get the ultra phones they have next and wont switch untill Jesus comes to take me home.

When I want a "No BS" review for a samsung device, I always come to Ash. Thank you for your honesty.

A54 was on my list to buy this sale, but price is out of reach Instead i went for a redmi note 12 pro with an exchange and 4000 discount, bought for 12000/-

Hi again, I just have a54 but I have 128gb, and already 30gb of systems storage is taken. What happened after 2 3 years of usage? I will still be able to use the phone ?

1:11 "Pleasantly surprising". I remember that! #30Squad

A series went from premium midrangers to grossly overpriced... It's seems remotely good only in isolation... Only reason behind the demise of FE...

Samsung was good with old A lineup...i still use A52 with a SD720 soc,ip68,3.5 jack,etc

Vintage Ash. Take love man❤️. #30squad.

I have had 5 different Pixel Phones. Every single one of them had really choppy, Low quality sound when making a phone call.

I'm glad to see that the phone has improved over time.. Its built well..

Well I got mine brand new seal international version with 8gb mem worldwide unlock for $299. And find it to be a beast

with this current pricing the nothing phone 1 with its improved quality control, it will hit the a54 out of the park, plus i feel the 778 will age well than the exynos

Honest Review. 👍🏾

Samsung A series peaked when they released the A50/30 series. After that they kept on pushing the price, using same chipsets, thicker bezels even at high prices. It looks like a complete joke to buy A series at any price points.

Welcome back bro! Ash Samsung video always "Pleasantly Surprising" 😜😉👍

In my country A54 is worth 33k Rupees with 256 Gb and Its a Great priced phone in my country

Excellent phone esp for parents! Horribly overpriced by atleast 10K ( launch price ) A savage Ash review is needed

It's a good phone for 30k at most 35k without any card offer applied

Hi, if was 340$ it will be good price or not or it will be Strong competitor

Can you make and receive phone calls?

What about a52s ? Is it still relevant? Any user here ! Looking for opinion

Which wallpaper you used??

So is it good or no?

I think Samsung will look on to their midrangers and will start providing gaming (performance) chips phones but in next 2-3 years

You forgot old gen UFS 2.2, lpddr4x, no proximity sensor, no 10bit display(even s23 ultra doesn't have)

Which s21 fe sd variant has less green line? Thanks

As of today since the pixel 7a just came out it got a price cut atleast here in the states

Another unbiased review, trademark Ash style

This phone is capable for video editing?

What are u gonna do with 4 years update if it's not gon last for 2 years

Approx 40k inr for Samsung 50 series is insane pricing

Tbh Samsung always cut corners when it comes to midrange phones. Good video mate

S21 fe is available at 30k good deal or not ?

Real review!🔥

can you make a video on zenfone 9 long term review?

Can you please do a detailed Oneplus 11 review?

Whose that youtuber who did drop test?

Ash is known for trolling and his hate for Samsung. Not surprising here. I have the Samsung F54 5G and it's a beast.

I believe Fe series from Samsung is the best value for money model I have always hated A series as it has the middle child problem

Yeah, it's feels sluggish often times like ash mention. My A53 feels the same way but the clean UI, good camera & battery makes it forgiveable 😂

Is that s22 fe going to release or not?

petition for savage ash to do reviews

What about now ...at 30k

Stupendous review.

Excellent video sir

100% agreed with your take bro

what about A34..... make video if posible.

which game is that

I agree with ash the chip is underpowered!! Howeverer regarding stutterring my 3+ ywar ols Note 10 lite got better & better with each update & stuttering is very minimal now with a chip that scores 350K on antutu. Not sure if samsung will show the same love to an A series phone

Honest Review as usual #30Squad

Heyy super magaa.. nin video sakkat aagide

😮😮😮wow.. I bought the galaxy a54... I wish I had seen this before I bought it.. now I'm going to throw more money at XRP & BITCOIN..😊

battery is not good, when phone is left idle, saves amazing battery but the moment u start using the Phone, it starts draining unexpectedly, other than that fone is amazing

Ash, can you tell us realistically how much price drop/offer this phone can get? Or is it just better to wait for poco f5 and it's review?

bro here in qatar its on offer for 25k can i purchase it (qar 1149)

Its not overprice for the way it perform from how it did back then what over price is the flaslgship

Samsung One Ui experience is thr best. But the Chipset is the main problem that stupid "EXYNOS"

A better review ❤

Been using poco f4 for about 9 months. It's an excellent phone in my opinion. I paid about 22.5k and it's worth every rupee.

Hey... I am getting this phone for 30K in offline store with some offers.. so should I buy this smartphone? I m also just concerned about the processor but i want to gift this phone to my parents..so should I go for it? Plzz buddy help me

What about the a34 Ash?

Hey Ash, I've been subbed to you since 10ish years and you have come a long way. I have a question and according to me, you are the best person to answer it. If I buy an S23 Ultra UAE/TRA version, activate it in Dubai with a local Sim, and then bring it to India, will the call recording work the same way it works with Samsung Indian phones? And will WhatsApp audio call work in India? Thabks in advance.

Ash is it ideal to get a switch now, or any update on switch2

Even 778 phones perform better than this phone also cost less

I got it for 267 € which is a great deal imho

The only reason I look at the a54 as a replacing phone for my old phone is the 1terrabite micro SD feature. I have the 52s for 2 years now. And I really love this phone. I never had any problems. And I am a heavy phone gamer. Games like Genshin impact,Grid autosport GTA san andreas call of duty ect. They run completely fine no problem. I would happily buy a flag ship or even a foldable but again no micro SD support. So that is holding me back. PS: I don't care about Camera's

Mini Ash is back!😍🔥 I missed him so much! #30Squad
