The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G has arrived with significant refinements, built for users who want reliable performance, a sleek design, and long-term software support. With a price tag ranging from Rs. 25,999 to Rs. 37,499 (ex-showroom), it is positioned as one of the most competitive mid-range smartphones in India. Packed with a vivid AMOLED screen, durable build, and versatile cameras, the device sets its sights on dominating this crowded segment. This updated review covers its design, specifications, features, pricing, and overall value.
Sleek and Durable Design
Samsung has given the Galaxy A54 5G a refined, premium look. The phone sports a Gorilla Glass 5 front and a glossy glass back supported by a sturdy plastic frame. Measuring 158.2 x 76.7 x 8.2 mm and weighing 202 grams, it strikes a balance between elegance and practicality. The IP67 certification ensures resistance against water and dust. Available in trendy shades like Awesome Lime and Awesome Graphite, the flat AMOLED panel and triple-camera housing give it a polished urban feel.
Vivid AMOLED Display
At the front, the Galaxy A54 5G offers a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display (1080×2340 pixels, 403 ppi). It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10, and peak brightness of 1000 nits, delivering vibrant visuals whether indoors or under direct sunlight. The screen makes gaming, binge-watching, and everyday use a treat. An in-display fingerprint sensor adds security while maintaining a clean design.
Smooth and Reliable Performance
Powering the device is Samsung’s Exynos 1380 chipset, built on a 5nm process with an octa-core CPU clocked up to 2.4 GHz. Benchmark scores hover around 350,000–400,000 on AnTuTu, ensuring fluid multitasking and decent gaming for casual players. It is paired with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB or 256GB UFS 2.2 storage options. Running on Android 13 with One UI 5.0 (upgradable up to One UI 8), Samsung guarantees four years of OS updates and five years of security patches, making it a future-proof choice.
Triple-Camera Versatility
Samsung equips the Galaxy A54 5G with a capable triple-lens rear setup:
-
50MP primary sensor (f/1.8, OIS, wide) – sharp daylight photos, stable low-light shots, and 4K video.
-
12MP ultra-wide (f/2.2) – captures broad landscapes with fair detail.
-
5MP macro (f/2.4) – for basic close-up photography.
On the front, a 32MP selfie camera (f/2.2) supports crisp selfies and 4K video recording. Features like night mode, AI optimization, and scene detection make it a reliable pick for photography enthusiasts, though extreme low-light conditions remain a challenge.

Battery Life and Charging
The device is powered by a 5000mAh battery that comfortably lasts a day and a half under mixed usage, offering 12–14 hours of screen-on time. With 25W wired fast charging, the phone goes from 0 to 100% in roughly 70–80 minutes. Although wireless charging is missing, the battery endurance makes up for it, and heat management is handled well.
Connectivity and Extra Features
The Galaxy A54 5G supports a wide range of 5G bands (n1/n3/n5/n7/n8/n28), 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, GPS, and USB-C 2.0. It has dual SIM slots with microSD expansion up to 1TB. Extra features include an in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, accelerometer, and gyroscope. While there’s no 3.5mm headphone jack, audio quality through the speakers is impressive.
Pricing and Availability
The A54 5G starts at Rs. 25,999 for the 8GB/128GB model, while the top-end 8GB/256GB variant is priced at Rs. 37,499 (ex-showroom). In Delhi, the on-road cost ranges from Rs. 29,500 to Rs. 42,500, including RTO and insurance. Initially launched in March 2023, it continues to receive updates in 2025, often bundled with festive discounts. Annual maintenance expenses average around Rs. 2,500–4,000, and Samsung offers a 1-year warranty or up to 50,000 hours of usage coverage.
User Impressions and Shortcomings
Most users appreciate the A54’s vibrant AMOLED display, strong battery backup, and reliable software support. The 1000-nits brightness and longevity of the 5000mAh battery stand out as major highlights. However, a few limitations remain:
-
Gaming performance is average compared to Snapdragon rivals.
-
No wireless charging support.
-
Camera performance in very low light could be better.
Competitors and Alternatives
Within its price bracket of Rs. 25,999–37,499, the Galaxy A54 5G competes with phones from OnePlus, Realme, and iQOO. While rivals may offer stronger processors, the A54 takes the lead in software updates, build quality, and display experience.
Final Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G (updated September 2025) brings together a premium 6.4-inch AMOLED panel, Exynos 1380 chip, reliable triple cameras, and a long-lasting 5000mAh battery with 25W charging. For users seeking a balance of style, durability, and dependable software support, it offers excellent value. While it is not a gaming powerhouse, it remains one of the best-rounded mid-range smartphones available today.
