Samsung’s Galaxy A series of smartphones is the perfect combination of performance and price. In March 2022, the company launched the latest iteration of the series, which includes the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G and Samsung Galaxy A33 5G. But we’ve already seen rumors about an A53 successor. So, here’s what we know about the Samsung Galaxy A54 so far.
What are the specifications and features of the Samsung Galaxy A54?
As you probably know by now, Samsung has yet to make any sort of announcement regarding the Galaxy A54, so we’re left to rely on rumors and past performance for this one. We’ve seen some news slip out, though, with suggestions of possible plans for new devices.
Designer Technizo Concepts has once again teamed up with Lets Go Digital to produce some great renders of what the Galaxy A54 might look like. In addition to the various still images posted on the website, there is a full video on Technizo Concepts’ YouTube channel showing off a device with a very attractive aesthetic.
While these are purely conceptual and not drawn from any official information, they were created with great attention to detail based on Samsung’s current design philosophy. For example, the front panel has the same symmetrical bezels as the Samsung Galaxy S22, which differs from the slightly thicker lower bezel currently found on the Galaxy A53 5G.
On the rear, we also see that the camera bump has been moved from the A53 5G’s molded bump to a cleaner platform with the lens uncovered. This is closer to the design used on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, so it might be a bit ambitious to get it on a cheaper device before it makes its way to the regular Galaxy S lineup.
Recent leaks from OnLeaks and 91Mobiles show renders of the so-called A54 with three rear cameras and a centered punch-hole camera, but no camera island, just three raised lenses — again mimicking the S22 Ultra.
Galaxy Club reported more details about the phone’s specs. First, it’s apparently going to move to a 50Mp main camera — you could see this as a downgrade from the A53’s 64Mp shooter, but it might actually be a better sensor and lens. The site also says the phone should have a slightly larger battery, rated at 4905mAh. The A53’s battery is rated at 4860mAh and advertised as a typical 5000mAh unit, so this could mean the A54 will go official with either 5050mAh or 5100mAh.
In terms of other specs, we haven’t seen solid rumors so far, but here’s what we expect to see in the new Samsung A54:
Better processor
The number one complaint in our review of the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G was performance, which we attribute to the Exynos 1280 chipset. If Samsung wants its next model to be competitive in an increasingly competitive market segment, the processor needs to be much better.
We recently saw reports that Samsung is working on developing a custom processor specifically for its Galaxy line. While doing so, it is believed that the company will limit the development of the Exynos series, as its resources will be deployed elsewhere. That means we’ll likely see Qualcomm processors in all Samsung devices next year, which could mean improved performance for customers in Europe and India.
Both the A52 and A52s have Snapdragon 7-series processors, which is good, so if Samsung can go back to something similar, things could improve considerably. XDA Developers has already reported that Qualcomm is about to unveil a new Snapdragon 7-series chip, so the Galaxy A54 could benefit from a performance boost from that chip.
More memory
Depending on the configuration available in your region, the A53 5G comes with 4, 6, or 8GB of RAM. In these days of demanding apps and high-quality photo/video capture, we’d like the top end of the selection to be the default on the Galaxy A54.
Faster charging time
While the battery life of the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is impressive, the charging time is not. It’s limited to 25W, which means you’ll need about two hours to restore a discharged battery to 100%. Even at the lower end of the price range, that’s poor, especially when some cheaper Android phones can fully replenish in 30-plus minutes.
