Cheaper price and for me expandable storage makes the choice clear.
and battery very important as well.
I had the one UI 6 and Android 14 update couple of days ago. The A54 runs smooth & stable
😊 i agree. Very good phone
If you're on a tight budget then the cheaper A54 is definitely your choice; but if you're willing to spend more then go for the vanilla S23 which is so much better than the FE.
No doubt
Not really
S23 small battery but good efficiency
Hmm, I don't know. I have the S23, my wife has the S23 FE. I like a compact phone; my wife likes larger screens. Although I agree that by a fairly slim margin that the regular S23 is better than the FE, it's not by all that much. I've had time with both, when I'm using my wife's FE I really don't notice much difference in daily usage. They both are consistently smooth in performance and display quality. I think that which size is your preference may be the determining factor.
just a phone
A series all the way 👍A54 ❤ I have it as my main device.
I really want the S23 but it not having an SD card slot just sucks. A54 is it.
Thank you very helpful.
How can they continue to call it the "fan edition" when they dont allow you to use a micro SD card. Awful
Thank you. I'm debating between these two phones, and your review is very helpful.
If the USP's are not for you (S23) the A54 is a solid for phone in daily use.
Cool comparison but I was more focused on the cars during the video. @5:18 Can you legally turn right in left only turning lanes or is it more of the lines of idgaf I do what I want?
What do you mean? Everyone did everything correctly
Thank you for this review
thanks a lot for this, it is a pity you didnt made a foto macro style with the S32 FE alltough it has no specific macro lens, just to have a full comparing
Gotta go with expandable memory, im loving my a54. Just had to buy a audio jack converter that also doublesbas a charger (amazon like 10-15 bux)
Watching on my A54 😁
Excellent review
Galaxy A54 and for one reason only - microSDXC card slot. 🙂
Finally someone made the video!!
Thank you for this video dear sir, but would you also do a comparison of Samsung A73 and S23FE?
I bought s23 fe 3 days ago. Such a beast and premium phone. The only con is the leakage of power.
If you gonna buy one of them, get the a 54 if you spend a lot of time outdoors. If not, the fe is a very valuable choice.
What do you mean leakage of power?
@theoriginals9821
The S23 FE's 4500 ma battery dies faster than the A54's 5000 ma battery.
Nice comparison
if only the s23 FE had expandable storage. Only reason I settled on the a54
Hi, can I ask if the A54 has a 0.5 wide back camera?
What is the skateboarding game you play on the phone?
Just bought the s23 FE for my partner. He’s using the A50 for more than 5 years now. He really loved the upgrade and the extra features of his new phone. Now he always takes pictures with our cat and doing some work tasks on his phone which he couldn’t do on his old phone before. 🔥
Watching this comparison video on my Galaxy S20 FE.. I guess I'm still good with keeping mine. Both expandable memory and internal memory chips have a lot of room still. Plus, the battery is still holding strong. I'm good.. I suppose I can wait til the S25 / S26 and their variants come out.
Had the a54 switched to the s23 fe and I can say it's a lot faster than the a54 and it feel of premium quality.
The battery life on the S23FE improved after about a week when apps were put into sleep/deep sleep.
What I want to know is the durability though. Which one is more durable.
Would be interesting to see viewer retenion rate after mentioning no micro sd expandable storgae on the s23fe. I know I got everything i needed to make my decision after that
I ordered my Samsung S23FE from the Samsung site. $379.00. ordered it on Tuesday and it got here on Thursday.
If comparing these 2 models, choosing the a54 is worth it. 👍👍
Almost bought the A54 earlier this summer but the Verizon compatible version was $500 with no discounts or trade in subsidies available. Not worth it. Glad I waited because I picked up the much better S23 FE for $399 last week. It has full mmWave 5G Verizon compatibility out of the box unlike the standard vanilla unlocked A54. And the FE is a much better deal than the $324 A54 or the $799 S23 during last week’s Black Friday sales.
Повезло тебе! У нас нет никаких акций и черной пятницы. А54- 300$, S23FE - 480. При зарплате 400 $...
A54 for 320$ is better than S23 FE for 400$
@@mmartinu327 I like having Samsung AI features on my S23 FE like circle to search and real time translations. But I understand you might not need AI on your phone so enjoy your A54, it’s a nice midrange phone.
Your comment was 5 months ago, which would have been January. Black Friday deals are in Halloween time October. So you are either a promoter orrrr
@@Rj-nh1df Doesn’t matter when I made the comment, I bought the phone in November 2023. If you actually live in the U.S. then you know the phone was on sale for $399 back then. Go buy an A54 or an A55. Hell go buy an iPhone if you want, I don’t care. The S23 FE is the better phone for me.
I was looking for a bigger screen size, higher end cameras, Dex, aluminium frame, great display and better than average processing power. I guess it all comes down to personal preferences, but for me the S23 FE is a lot closer to S23+, than A54 is to S23 FE.
S23 FE is an S22 in a body of A54
Is the device size the same as the A54 screen?
I went for the A54 8/128 & Tab A9+ (DeX though no video out).
For me the best package.
Gaming I prefer on Playsration 😊
Nice intro!
I bought the A54 so my biased answer would be "A54 is better"
So the S22 vs S23FE. That's most appropriate
It is sort of. Unlike the S22 which had a lot of over-heating and short battery life, even with the same SOC, the S23 FE does not share those problems.
What cheap phone can u recommend with a good main camera and 3x zoom camera?
Is the case of the Samsung s23 fe compatible with the Samsung a54 is it okay even if the button is not the same? Samsung s23 fe case is beautiful
Watching with my superior A24 with its headphone jack, dual sim and non hybrid expandable storage
non-hybrid means?
@@FahadFSA means i can use dual sim AND sd card at the same time. Unlike in a54, you have to choose either sd card OR a dual sim card
@@Archontasil damn, i did not know any phone had that, and samsung not only did but if now taking it away.....
@@FahadFSA the cheaper phones usually have more complete features, while more expensive phone have better cameras/chipset
If i am getting both of them at the same price, which one should i go for.
I'm still getting the A54 though 😅
why not the a34?
can i submerge A54?
nice video! s23 Fe cost around the double of the Galaxy a54 5g , what was the point of this comparison xD, the expensive phone kicks ass totally. look better, better features, still thicc but more powerfull.
I have an S23FE and love it.
I love that fucking phone too, I will safe some money for it@@scotttatertot69
Maybe where you are, where I am they are similiar prices
I believe the best A series phone up to now has been the A52S in regards to chipset and general specs with Value.
I am a52s user
The A52s was an all time great. Hope Snapdragon has a bunch of cheap 700/7 gens going available that they will offer to Samsung to use.
Nope because of less software and security updates. It’s important for some people. Depending from where you live and how long you want to keep your phone, Poco F5 is an alternative.
MIUI is annoying by the way. So I'm using a custom AOSP based ROM.
@@Phelixdegreat 📌i live in Europe so we have global version. I only check and buy for global version of a smartphone. No custom rom for me. I have had a Poco F4 for few months: no issues at all. I just don’t like MIUI. But i think it’s Poco F smartphones are powerful, with good screen, fast charging so it can be a good buy if you like those features and also MIUI.
📌I prefer OneUi, Nothing OS and iOS.
These phones are the same price where i live, which do you recommend ?
S23
why don't both of them update to Android 14 one ui 6
Safe cost a54.
Overall and function s23fe.
Will either of these phones support BOTH 4G and 5G??
Man, I want the A54 however Im pretty sure a55 and s24 are comming this first qtr. of 2024
2:45 what is the name of this game?
If you're going to go with the A54 you should consider the A34. It turns out that the A34 chip makes the phone faster and have a longer battery life.
S23 fe no micro chip. Is 256 enough?
What's the racing game you're playing? it looks sick lol
Just because it has Dex mode, S23 FE becomes the best option.
Of course, if you can't get the S23 FE, get the A54
best channel ever
I had the a54 5g switched to s23fe and the s23fe is definitely faster.
the Exynos version of the s23fe with the blistering hot 2200 is a absolut bummer. s23 base model is still the best choice and i'm very happy with it. the GSM Arena review had a major part in my decision to buy the s23. especially the battery test was important to me!
A54 wont connect to tv via hdmi converter the S series does. I have a54 thats my only complaint
Why this channel never test stabilitation video of front & back camera? Very dissapointed.
And S23FE has much better stabilisation at 4k than A54. That's a big difference they skipped out on!
I have both for metro by tmobile and the s23 fe is without a doubt better in every way outside of battery life. since i edit videos from both the phones s23 fe is the better buy for me
how to compare? the base 128GB S23 FE is around 200USD more expensive than the 256GB A54, totally different league....
Yes, got to consider several factors. Keep in mind size! I like compact phones and the 6.1" S23 is perfect for me, but if you want more screen real estate, the A54 has that. In sheer processor power, there is no comparison, the S23's Snapdragon 8 v.2 is far better. Another thing to consider: How long do you plan to own your next phone? Throw in a few android/One UI updates and the A54 will not age as well as the S23. BTW, if you shoot videos often, the OIS with the S23 is far better than on the A54. However, the A54 does have expandable storage. Yep, there is a lot to consider.
Id go for A54 or s23 than fe
S23 fe because processors is better and have telepohoto lens
@@ADC0901doesn't have expandable storage tho
Expandable storage is all I care about
hi! do you have spotify? luv your mix!!!
Considering the price, A54 is much better
The FE looks like a rip-off too me😅... A54 only for battery life. S20 S21 S22 all better phones and cheaper or around the same price...
Best of the cheap
Cheapest of the best
Il wait for the samsung a55 5g
Very happy with a54😊
Think were all getting a bit snobby I have always been for the S series but after borrowing A54 for a week Not giving it back😂 Everything is acceptable Photos are just as good as S series in real life😊
👍👍👍
The next comparison between A54 and S24 ,
Winner A54
😂
😂😂
2:58 what game??
Got a54 and it's fast enough
FE looks very much like 54, but the difference between S and A is very big.
But FE is not worth leaving the normal model and buying it.
The Samsung S23 FE is coming soon in the UK.
Finally 😊
Enjoy the exynos 😂
With exynos for winter
Hoping that the next fe phone will have a hybrid simcard tray like the a54 or A series of samsung. 😍😍😍
It's not. Bet they going to take away the sim card tray like apple did. 😢
Should i get the a54, pixel 7a (considering i can't find a screen protector in my country) or wait for the redmi note 13 pro plus? I mainly watch Instagram and TH-cam
pixel 7a is the best
7a
Pixel 7a💯💯
s23 on sale
Pixel 7a even without screen protector?
Still keeping my s20 fe with sd card
I have the s23fe and it certainly has flagship qualities, as i have the s23 ultra as well. S23fe is good as a budget device. The only extra thing the camera of the ultra has is the extra zoom up to 10x. The battery life is ok, but the chipset is a little dated.
I'm watching this on a purple s23 fe
The choice is simple. Will you be using your smartphone for regular stuff during the day? Social media, music, browsing the web, calls, text etc.? If yes, then the obvious better option is the A54. The only reason to buy the S23FE is if you have some extra cash to spend. But is it worth to spend some extra unnecessary money, when you know you will be doing the same regular things on your phone? Let me help you, NO! So go ahead and order your brand new A54 and enjoy it! Have a nice day.
How about gaming? Do you think A54 is better? I am waiting for A55 so I am wondering if S23 Fe will be better than the upcoming A55. Thanks!
@lenaxshin In my country S23FE has the same price as S23, so for me is not worth. As far as I know from TH-cam, A55 might come with Exynos 2200. If so, it will be a better option that A54 100%. But better wait a little more to see all specs of A55 to be sure.
I still think that S23FE is a better option than A55 for gaming (others on TH-cam tech are saying the same), but if the price difference is too high, I'd go for A55.
@@baje.official yes,A55 is exinos 2200...
Samsung should solve galaxy a54, a34, S23 FE & others screen dc dimming ! Samsung devices screen are worst for eyes ! They have PWM dc dimming issues.
A54 MYR 1899 S23 FE MYR 2199… it’s 300 difference… you decide what to get😊
So the S23 FE can record video at 8k24 but they don't include an expandable memory slot? What the fuck is wrong with companies these days? It's almost as if common sense doesn't exist any more.
I have been using the S23 FE for the past few months, and my friend has an A54. Clearly, the FE is better in almost all aspects, especially after getting the AI features.
❤❤❤
Problem is that the 8 gen 1 in the FE is an absolutely awful cpu which overheats and kills battery life. If you can snag a good deal on a regular s23 or 23+ you would enjoy a far better experience.
Its a damn shame Samsung didn't use the 8 gen 2 or at the very least 8 gen 1+ in the FE as it would have been a pretty good buy.
Yes 👍
One plus 11 is better
s23 7hrs SOT on 4G single sim FULL mobile data😂 use standard for most people, ig,wa,fb, etc
0:08 ouch it bottoming
Got the Fe with xfinity for $100, A54 would have been $0. Worth the extra $100?
cool
23fe is pointless when a54 already exists. Might as well save up and get the s23 which is superior to both
Not really. The S23 FE is well ahead of the A54, especially the SOC. Yes, the S23 is better, but we have both of these phones and I've got to say that in most usage I'm hard pressed to tell the difference (Unless the large bezels other you).
@@pcarlson214Listen. If you’re going for the 23FE, you’re not a gamer for sure, so you just need a good smartphone with good battery life, good looking pictures (possibly not even carrying about them), and you’re using it for social media and basic things / normal use. The only reason for buying the S23FE is that you have some extra cash, that’s it. If you think in “ what do I use it for “ terms, A54 is the better choice, always, simply because you will do the same things (normal use) on either phones.
@@baje.officialThanks man for this comment. I was contemplating whether I should get the S23 Fe or the A54. But your comment convinced me to buy the A54 one.
When you consider the wonky way Samsung prices their devices you might as well just buy the base S23
Long story short the difference between the A54, S23, & S23FE are minimum.
my A52s 5G is the same size and have less bezels then these 2 with a 6'5 screen
Also it has better cpu than A54 and a headphone jack.
Yepp, think I'm still keeping my 52s for while. It's a very decent phone
A52s gang here. Will shoot for the S25. Until then, it's good. There's no need to buy another phone 😁
Samsung galaxy S22, S21 only worth it to buy
it's basically the same phone
I love my A54
me too love my A54 mobile phone🤣🤡🥳🤪
I'd go for a phone from a different manufacturer. Smth like the Moto Edge 40, Pixel 7A or the 1+ Nord 3.
A54 is better than Pixel 7A (plenty of videos on TH-cam to cover that), tech support is superior to the other options presented by you, software is better, warranty no issues with it, again awesome suport if anything happens. So yeah, I’m not so sure about taking that decision lightly about the other options.
@@baje.official I think One UI is terrible and not very user friendly. That's why I gave up on Samsung. In my experience Motorola and Oneplus have it much better. I had the Nord 2 and it was refreshing after dealing with a Samsung. And the Moto Edge 40 feels a step beyond the Nord, I just like the almost stock Android it has. Software support is a valid objection, but first I'd have to like One UI which I definitely do not.
