Samsung Galaxy A54 5G initial review: Flagship looks, mid-range price
The Samsung Galaxy A series has been popular with customers, giving access to all those Samsung features, while avoiding the sort of prices that come with the flagship Galaxy S.
And the 2023 Samsung Galaxy A54 5G is closer to the top-tier Galaxy S23 models than we've previously seen. So what does this phone have to offer?
