what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the differences between Samsung's latest mid-range device the Samsung Galaxy a54 and
of course Samsung's flagship for this year the Samsung Galaxy s23 well first of all the s23
is almost double the price of the a54 so is it worth spending the extra money to get the s23
over the a54 well we're definitely gonna find out in today's video all right so first things first
let's start by checking out what comes in the box with each device well pretty small boxes for both
devices and inside the boxes you aren't gonna find much you're gonna find some startup guides and
then you're gonna find the cable a USBC to a USBC cable and again a USBC to a USBC cables so you're
not going to find the charger with either device and you're gonna have to buy your own charger now
the a54 5G and the Samsung Galaxy s23 they both support 25 watts fast charging if we can even call
that fast charging now with the Samsung Galaxy s23 we also get the wireless charging where the a54 we
don't get wireless charging and the s23 also offers some reverse wireless charging so you
could charge other devices from the back of the s23 taking a quick look at both devices well if
you have the same wallpaper on both devices that do look pretty similar from the front here now
of course you're probably gonna notice that the bezels around the screen on the Samsung Galaxy
a54 are larger than the ones that we have on the Samsung Galaxy s23 but this is pretty normal now
the a54 is also a bit thicker and a bit heavier and of course a bit larger because we do have a
larger screen so the a54 here weights 202 grams for the Samsung Galaxy s23 weights 168 grams so
on not a bottom difference for weight I'm gonna say the backs on both devices are also so quite
similar so I kind of like the fact that Samsung is using the same design language for the more
premium line and for the more affordable line so for the a54 and of course the sm-23 now if
we look at the frames here there is a difference so the frame on the Samsung Galaxy s23 is made
out of metal where the frame on the Samsung Galaxy a54 feels like it's actually made out of plastic
so yes the s23 would feel more premium whenever you're holding it now at the top here you're
gonna notice that on the a54 we have the SIM card slot so with the a54 you can actually
install an SD card and a SIM card the Samsung Galaxy s23 you cannot install an SD card then
I know that an SD card is a pretty important part for some of you and moving to the bottom
of both devices they both have the holes for the second speaker there are some holes for
microphones and even though they do have USBC both of them the transfer speeds on the Samsung
Galaxy s23 are much faster than transfer speeds that you're gonna get from the Samsung Galaxy
a54 so if you usually connect your phone to your computer to download files videos and
so on the s23 will be much faster for that of course and since you're talking about
dual speakers earlier so both devices have a speaker at the top and one at the bottom
let me show you a quick recording so you can hear how those speakers sound on both devices
thank you
moving on to the screens well here we have a few differences first of all the Samsung Galaxy a54
we get a 6.4 inches screen wearing on the s23 we get a 6.1 inches screen now personally I do
prefer the size of the screen of the a54 I feel that's the perfect size they both have a similar
resolution and the refresh rate on both screens is 120 hertz now the screen on the Samsung Galaxy
s23 is covered by Gorilla Glass vectus where the screen the Samsung Galaxy a54 it's not
I'm not sure what kind of glass they're using because it's not even specified on anywhere now
another difference the brightness on the screen of the s23 is 1200 nits with a peak brightness of
about 1750 where the brightness on the Samsung Galaxy a54 is about a thousand nits I'm not
sure all the peak brightnesses I wasn't able to find that anywhere so yes you can see the
Samsung Galaxy s23 a bit better if you take the phones um outside however I have to see that even
the a54 compared to last year's a53 it's quite unvisible in a direct sunlight so it is a decent
screen on this mid-range device both devices also support the always-on display feature as you can
see here so you can have the screens on at all time basically and they both have fingerprint
scanners now of course the fingerprint scanner on the Samsung Galaxy s23 is much faster than
the one that we have on the Samsung Galaxy a54 so let me do that again so I would say about
twice faster on the s23 as for cameras and we're starting with a selfie camera so on the Samsung
Galaxy a54 we have a 32 megapixel front facing camera or on the Samsung Galaxy s23 we have a
12 megapixel front facing camera these are some pictures that I took on earlier um today just
so you get an idea how the Selfies would look from the a54 and of course the Selfies from the
Samsung Galaxy s23 would look like as for the rear cameras all the camera systems on their backs are
fairly different even though they do look similar on the back of the phones here so the main camera
on the a54 is a 50 megapixel sensor we have a 50 megapixel sensor on the s23 as well they both have
Ultra wide cameras but then the a54 gets a macro camera this is a 5 megapixel macro camera where
on the s23 we get a telephoto lens so of course I do prefer a telephoto lens over a macro camera
now with the a54 here you can also record videos in 4k at 30 frames per second of course the s23
can record even 8 head 30 frames per second videos these are some pictures some example pictures that
I took earlier today I'm actually working on doing a full camera comparison between these two devices
but just so you have an idea how on those pictures look basically so if you're recording in 4k at 30
frames per second with the the Samsung Galaxy a54 unfortunately there is no video stabilization the
main camera does have Optical image stabilization but no electronic video stabilization for 4K at 30
frames per second recordings which is a bit of a shame so of course the s23 will get better cameras
but I will have that camera comparison already in a day or two with the a54 we also get a bigger
battery so inside the a54 we have a 5 000 milliamp hour battery when inside the Samsung Galaxy s23 we
have a 3900 milliamp hour battery if you use a 25 watt fast charger you're gonna be able to charge
the Samsung Galaxy a54 in about an hour and a half with the Samsung Galaxy s23 will be able to charge
in about an hour and five an hour and 10 minutes somewhere around there now the battery life of
course will be better on the Samsung Galaxy a54 so you should be able to get somewhere around
8 hours of screen on time where the Samsung Galaxy s23 gets about six to seven hours of
screen time depending how you use it of course now performance wise this is already gonna find the
biggest difference between the a54 and of course the Samsung Galaxy s23 so the a54 it's using
um the exynos 1380 chipset where the Samsung Galaxy s23 it's using the Snapdragon 8 gen 2.
if we open the antutu Benchmark on both devices you can see how big the difference for that and
to Benchmark score is so more than double on the Samsung Galaxy in s23 both devices have the same
8 gigs of RAM now for the storage test so the internal storage test let me just open that
so both devices have 256 gigs of internal storage and once again you can see the massive difference
that we have for the reading and writing speeds on the internal storage on the Samsung Galaxy s23
so yes for performance there is a massive difference in between these two devices so yeah
if performance is the most important thing for you in a smartphone if you do play a lot of games of
course you're gonna prefer the s23 over the a54 now if you're just writing text messages if you
are just on social media you may not necessarily actually notice that big of a difference between
the two but when you're doing more intensive tasks that's when of course the Samsung Galaxy s23 will
be much better than the a54 however the a54 does get a really nice screen decent enough cameras I'm
gonna say even though I'm not a fan that the 4K 30 frames per second recordings don't have electronic
video stabilization that's definitely something Samsung did on purpose so if you're not that much
into gaming of course you're gonna love the a54 because it's still a pretty fast device alright
guys hopefully enjoyed this video thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
