Without fail, Samsung renews its smartphones every year. The Galaxy A53 5G of 2022 is therefore succeeded by the Galaxy A54 5G phone, a mid-range mobile terminal which is more similar than ever to the Galaxy S series. This balanced model erases the faults of its predecessor.
The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G was a good smartphone, but the A54 5G significantly improves the proposition. Certainly more expensive at its launch, it has a more attractive design, has a very bright screen and offers much more power. Rather good photographer for its category, the device is entitled to the usual small refinements of its range (microSD port, IP67 certification, four years of software updates) and gains support for wifi 6 as well as eSIMs. We would have appreciated even more generous autonomy, a little less heating and faster charging, but that is undoubtedly quibbling in front of this well-equipped smartphone, complete and providing a little taste of premium at a reasonable price.
Strong points
- Very bright screen.
- More powerful than the Galaxy A53 5G.
- Compatible with eSIMs.
- IP67 certification.
Weak points
- Load that lacks speed.
- A little heating.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Even if it is strongly inspired by the Xiaomi 11T Pro, this 11T manages to make its main difference a strength, while being more affordable. It still offers a good finish and a high-quality screen, but logically offers less raw power than its brother under Snapdragon 888. This reduction in speed still has an advantage: it allows it to be much more durable, which may be more important for a majority of users. It certainly recharges a little slower than the Pro, but the difference remains negligible on a daily basis. The icing on the cake is that the software processing of photos seems less intensive and delivers a more faithful result during the day. A very good model in its price range.
