The Indian smartphone market has seen impressive launches in the sub-Rs.30,000 segment, with many companies aiming to capture consumer attention.

One of the most recent contenders in this category is the Samsung Galaxy F54 5G, which stands out with its big battery and high-resolution main camera. Samsung's F series has always prioritized excellent battery life, and this time, Samsung claims to have enhanced the design as well. With strong competition in this segment, including Samsung's own Galaxy A34 5G, it remains to be seen whether the new Galaxy F54 5G can make a significant impact.

Let's explore all the aspects of this phone, including its design, specifications, software, performance, battery life, cameras, and Samsung Galaxy F54 5G price in India in the article by Mobygeek.com.

Samsung Galaxy F54 5G Design

The Samsung Galaxy F54 5G features a similar design to its A-series sibling but comes in different colors: Stardust Silver and Meteor Blue.

It comes with a thicker profile and weighs around 199g. The frame is plastic, while the front and back panels have Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for protection against scratches and shattering.

The rear camera design resembles the pricier S23 series of the brand, featuring a modern hole-punch cutout on the display.

It’s a notable absence that the Samsung Galaxy F54 5G lacks stereo speakers. Even, it misses out on an official IP rating for water and dust resistance. The power button is flat and doubles as a fingerprint sensor. The phone supports expandable storage via the hybrid dual-SIM tray.

The Galaxy F54 5G features a vibrant and bright 6.7-inch AMOLED display, with a full-HD+ resolution and a fixed refresh rate of either 60Hz or 120Hz. It's worth mentioning that the refresh rate is not adaptive and remains unchanged even on the Always-on lock screen.

Samsung Galaxy F54 5G Specifications & Software

The Samsung Galaxy F54 5G runs on the Exynos 1380 SoC with 5nm fabrication and supports 10 5G bands. It owns Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, and a 6,000mAh battery. However, note that the charger is not included, and a compatible charger is needed for 25W charging.

The phone receives four years of OS updates and five years of security updates. It runs on One UI 5.1 based on Android 13, offering familiar features and customization options. Moreover, it supports floating notifications, one-handed mode, and various Edge panels. While some preinstalled bloatware apps are present, most of them can be removed.

Samsung Galaxy F54 5G Performance & Battery life

The Samsung Galaxy F54 5G provides a generally smooth and fluid Android experience, although some minor stuttering may be noticed in certain animations like exiting the Edge panel. The display is bright enough for outdoor use, the touch response is good, and media viewing is enjoyable. The single speaker is a drawback, but it is loud enough for alerts.

Samsung's new Exynos SoC performs similarly to the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC found in the Galaxy A34 5G. In terms of benchmarks, the Galaxy F54 5G scored 4,52,104 points in AnTuTu (v10), with Geekbench scores of 1,018 for the single-core test and 2,838 for the multi-core test. While it may not match the more powerful SoCs found in devices like the Motorola Edge 40 or Poco F5 5G at a similar price point, the F54 5G is capable of handling mid-level gaming.

Games like Asphalt 9 Legends and Honkai Impact 3rd ran well with good graphics on the phone. Even at the highest visual settings, the Off Road 4x4 Driving Simulator maintained steady framerates. However, the phone can get warm quickly during gaming, and certain areas of the back panel may become hot to the touch.

The Samsung Galaxy F54 5G excels in battery life, which is its main selling point. With moderate usage, it can last nearly two full days on a single charge, and even longer with conservative use. In our HD video loop test, it ran for an impressive 22 hours and 51 minutes. When charging from empty, it takes approximately an hour and a half or slightly more, depending on the charger used.

Samsung Galaxy F54 5G Cameras

The Samsung Galaxy F54 5G boasts a powerful 108MP primary camera with optical stabilization (OIS) for clear and steady photos. It also has an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 32MP front-facing camera for selfies and 4K video recording.

The main camera captures pixel-binned 12MP photos by default, with the option for full 108-megapixel images. In daylight, landscape shots look good with natural colors and pleasing HDR. Close-ups are sharp with vibrant colors, although the Scene Optimiser can sometimes enhance colors excessively. The digital zoom goes up to 10X but produces weak photo quality. The macro camera is useful for extreme close-ups but lacks vibrant colors.

The camera performs well in low light, capturing good exposure and details. Night mode activates automatically with Scene Optimiser enabled, even at the full 108MP resolution.

Regarding the ultra-wide camera performs well in daylight with reduced distortion and pleasing colors. However, Night mode needs to be manually enabled for the ultra-wide camera, resulting in a noticeable difference in exposures and weaker details compared to the main camera.

The Samsung Galaxy F54 5G's selfie camera captures pixel-binned 12MP images by default, with the option for full 32MP photos. Daylight selfies have decent quality with natural skin tones when beauty filters are turned off. However, low-light selfies, even with Night mode, may appear grainy.

The Galaxy F54 5G can record up to 4K resolution videos but lacks stabilization, resulting in shaky footage when moving. The video quality is decent in low light. For stabilization, you can switch to 1080p 30fps, allowing you to switch between the main and ultra-wide cameras while recording. However, the ultra-wide camera's video quality is average and not suitable for low-light conditions.

Samsung Galaxy F54 5G Price in India

Speaking of Samsung Galaxy F54 5G price in India, the phone is available in a single variant with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, priced at Rs.29,999. Early bookers during pre-launch promotions may have received a discount.

Despite being a well-rounded smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy F54 5G encounters certain obstacles. Samsung's Galaxy A34 5G, available at a similar price, offers comparable system and battery performance while also featuring stereo speakers, IP67 rating, and an in-display fingerprint sensor—features absent in the Galaxy F54 5G.

In conclusion, if you prioritize a large battery or a high-resolution camera, the F54 5G may be worth considering. However, for overall value, the Galaxy A34 5G seems to offer better features.
