Samsung’s Galaxy A series of smartphones have been very popular in recent years. According to some reports, the mid-range phones are selling better than the Galaxy S models. Therefore, you will have good reason to look forward to the Galaxy A54 and A34 that Samsung has just released. The first is a more expensive mid-range Samsung phone that you should refer to. But can expect to buy a Galaxy A54 for a few months until we see Google’s Pixel 7a. The Galaxy A54 is a good alternative to the Pixel 6a, which usually sells for around $300, much less than its original retail price of $449. But the Pixel 7a will be even better than last year’s Pixel 6a. And it will be the mid-range phone to beat this year. Seriously though, the Pixel 7a is closer to being a flagship phone than the Galaxy A54.
One of the immediate strengths of the Galaxy A54 and A34 is the design. The mid-range phones look a lot like the Galaxy S23 handsets. Especially when it comes to the triple rear camera setup, but they’re not the same, especially the cheaper A34 model.
When it comes to specs, the Galaxy A54 is the more interesting model of the two. It has a 6.4-inch Full HD punch-hole display with 120Hz refresh rate and 1000 nits brightness, an in-display fingerprint sensor, Exynos 1380 processor, 6GB or 8GB RAM, 128GB or 256GB storage and microSD card support.
It has three cameras at the back, including a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 5-megapixel macro camera. The selfie camera has a 32-megapixel sensor. In addition, the A54 phone has a 5000mAh battery that supports 25W wired charging.
Another notable feature of the Galaxy A54 is support for 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates.
All of that will cost $449 on April 6 when the Galaxy A54 hits stores in the US. The phone will be available for pre-order later this month on March 30. This is where I’ll tell you to wait about a month to see what happens at Google’s I/O 2023 event.
Rumor has it that this is where the Pixel 7a and Pixel Fold will be introduced. The first is a direct competitor to the Galaxy A54. And while Samsung’s new phone looks like a flagship phone, the Pixel 7a might actually look like it.
