what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back in today's video we are comparing
one of the latest mid-range devices from Samsung the Samsung Galaxy a54 5G and comparing it to one
of the latest mid-range devices from xiaomi the xiaomi 13 Light so both devices are priced quite
similarly so you can get either device for about 500 so which one is better the Samsung Galaxy a54
5G or the xiaomi 13 Light well we're definitely gonna find out in today's video before we go any
further let's check out the boxes and see what comes in the box with each device Well the box
for the Galaxy a54 is quite small and inside the Box you are not gonna find much you basically find
some booklets and the USBC to a USBC cable and that's about it so no charger in the box
with the a54 in the box of the xiaomi 13 Light you're gonna find a clear case for the device
you also have some booklets in there we have a 67 watt fast charger so yes this one comes with
charger in the box and of course the cable so automatically you're gonna get more value from
the xiaomi 13 light compared to the Samsung Galaxy a54 well since we are talking about
Chargers so the Samsung Galaxy a54 supports 25 watt fast charging if we can even call that fast
charging however you're gonna have to buy our own charger with the xiaomi 13 Light supports 67 watt
fast charging inside the a54 you also have a 5 000 milliamp hour battery versus a 4500 milliamp
hour battery in the xiaomi 13 Light now charging the xiaomi 13 Light from 0 to 100 do the charger
that comes in the box is then about 45 minutes wherefore the Samsung Galaxy a54 5G you're gonna
have to wait for about an hour and a half if you do buy yourself a 25 watt fast charger alright
so taking a look at both devices and of course starting with the screen so with the Samsung
Galaxy a54 we get a 6.4 inches AMOLED screen that has a 1080p resolution and a refresher rate of
120hz xiaomi 13 Lite to get the 6.55 inches AMOLED screen that has a 1080p resolution and once again
a refresh rate of 120 hertz now the aspect ratio is a bit different as you can see for yourself and
personally I do prefer the aspect ratio that we get them on the Samsung Galaxy a54 now the A50 4
does seem to have somewhat larger bezels compared to the 13 light but we also get a flat screen on
the a54 so personally I do prefer a flat screen over a screen that has curved edges even though
the curved edges may give the phone a more premium look and feel but I guess it really depends who
you ask because some people may not necessarily like the curved edges anymore as for the screen
brightness both devices have a peak brightness of a thousand nits and I did take both devices
outdoors and I can kind of see the screen on the xiaomi 13 Light slightly better outdoors in direct
sunlight but the brightness should be fairly similar on both of them and you can clearly see
both of them on even outside in direct sunlight both devices also support the always on display
features so if you like your screen being on at all times some both devices can do it and they
both have in-screen fingerprint scanners so let's try that again so we'll see which one unlocks the
screen faster so it looks like the xiaomi 13 Light does unlock the screen slightly faster
so let's do that one more time so yeah definitely the 13 light has the somewhat faster
um unlocking fingerprint scanner basically the frames on both devices are made out of
plastic even though I do find that the frame on the xiaomi 13 Light
um looks and feels a bit more premium the Samsung Galaxy a54 does feel a bit cheap mostly when you
touch that on the frame the a54 here also weighs some 202 grams where the xiaomi 13 light weights
uh 171 grams now another thing I've noticed is the fact that to the Samsung Galaxy a545g you
can install an SD card something that you cannot do with the xiaomi 13 Light another thing I've
noticed is the fact that the Samsung Galaxy a54 has dual speakers so you have one speaker at the
top one at the bottom where the xiaomi 13 Light we only have one speaker at the bottom here and
I guess next I'm gonna play a short recording just so you can hear how the speakers on these
devices sound like but I'm gonna tell you from now that the a54 does have the better speakers
now give it up again
on the back of the two devices we do have glass and talking about glass I actually forgot to
mention that the screens are covered by Gorilla Glass 5 for both devices and the backs are also
covered by a glass now I can't really say which one is the better looking one maybe the Samsung
Galaxy a54 does look a bit more modern where the design that we have on on the xiaomi 13 Light is
getting a bit um old so I think I prefer the way the a54 looks now looking at cameras so we
have the main cameras there the biggest difference for the main camera is the fact that the Samsung
Galaxy a54 does have Optical image stabilization for the main camera where the xiaomi 13 Light
doesn't now funny enough the Samsung Galaxy a54 um care recording 4K 30 frames per second the
xiaomi 13 Light can also do that but with the a54 we don't get um video stabilization so for
4K recordings what are the xiaomi 13 Light we actually get the video stabilization aside from
that main camera we have an ultra wide camera and a macro camera on both devices so next I'm
gonna play a few recordings that I've done earlier today just so you can see how the video quality
from both devices looks like so let's play those recordings and I'll be right back alright super
quick video sample Ludo front facing cameras on the a54 and of course the xiaomi 13 Light I'm
currently doing 1080p at 30 frames per second with both devices and of course at this resolution both
devices have video stabilization now the a540 can also to 4K 30 frames per second with that front
facing camera but at that resolution there is no video stabilization so in a 1080p at 30 frames per
second with both devices okay and we are moving on to a quick video recording down the main cameras
on the back of the two devices and recording in 4k at 30 frames per second so yes both devices can do
4K 30 frames per second but the a54 doesn't have video stabilization at this resolution so if you
are walking if you are running your footage is look quite shaky at least to the xiaomi 13 Light
we do get video stabilization if you're recording in 4k 30 frames per second so I'm gonna go this
way I'm just gonna pan up slowly and back this way so main cameras 4kid 30 frames per second
moving on to our next video sample so now I switch the resolution to 1080p at 30 frames per second
and of course at this resolution the Samsung Galaxy a54 has video stabilization as well it
has gotten a bit um windy now so you may hear some wind aside from my voice but I basically wanted to
show you how that video stabilization works if you're recording um in 1080P at 30 frames per
second with both devices so xiaomi 13 Light and of course the Samsung Galaxy a54 so if I would have
to choose one device for the video capabilities I feel that I would choose the xiaomi 13 Lite
because the 4K recordings do look much better since we have video stabilization so what a
missed Opportunity by Samsung to not include video stabilization for those 4K recordings
all right so next we are seeing some pictures that I took with both devices all the pictures
are basically taken on auto mode and maybe about a second apart from each other now I can't really
say that one is so much better than the other one in some situations the Samsung Galaxy a54 does
better in some situations than xiaomi 13 Light does better so for daytime pictures I feel that
either device will do great so it doesn't matter which one you choose because they're both gonna do
quite well but if we take into consideration the video recordings then I'm gonna have to choose
the xiaomi 13 Light over the Samsung Galaxy a54 because video recordings are a more important part
for me well for me anyways because it may not be for everyone but because video capabilities
are more important for me yes I would definitely choose the 13 Light over the Samsung Galaxy a54
but what do you guys say about them those pictures and video quality definitely leave a comment and
let me know your thoughts on to Performance so the Samsung Galaxy A50 for 5G we get the exynos 1380
chipset and 8 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs of internal storage xiaomi 13 Light we have on the Snapdragon
7 gen 1 and 8 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs of internal storage and personally I'm not a fan of that Xena
some chipset and I know that a lot of you aren't a fan of vetan either so the one prefer to see a
Snapdragon CPU in the a54 but it isn't what it is now the xiaomi 13 Light here runs MIUI 14
that's based on an Android 12. where the Samsung Galaxy a54 we do get Android 13. so a bit of a
difference there I also have the antutu Benchmark here let me open it on this one funny enough if
you look at what it says on this device it says me 12 light but this is clearly the xiaomi 13 um
light but yeah that's what it says there and this is the score that we get on the antutum benchmark
so fairly similar scores I'm gonna say and as you can see here the devices don't really get
hot when running those Benchmark tests and if we go back here and we open the storage test
we can see the speeds for the internal storage so here you can see that the xiaomi 13 Light does
have the faster um storage so performance wise I feel that for most situations the xiaomi 13 Lite
does better than the Samsung Galaxy a54 the phone feels a bit more responsive for most things gaming
performance is somewhat similar but overall the smoothness of the UI is better on the xiaomi 13
light at least in my opinion and if you wanted to see the scores that we get on the geekbench seek
some there you have it so the multi-core score and the single core scores are a bit higher on the
Samsung galaxy a54 compared to the xiaomi 13 Lite I'm not sure if that has to do with the fact that
um on the a54 we basically have Android 13 we're on the xiaomi 13 Light we have on Android 12.
so there you have it the xiaomi 13 Light and the Samsung Galaxy a54 which one do you guys
prefer the a54 or the 13 Light in many ways the 13 Light does offer more value first of all you have
a charger that comes in the Box because you're gonna have to spend like 40 50 bucks to get a
charger for the a54 if you don't have one we also have faster charging but at the same time with
the a54 we do get somewhat better battery life we have a 5 000 milliamp hour battery in here
we also have a flat screen and I kind of prefer flat screens over a screen that has curved edges
so hard to say which one is the better one I think it comes down to your personal
um preference and what's the most important thing for you I would choose the 13 Light mostly because
of the video stabilization for 4K recordings but for everything else I could go for the a54 alright
guys hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
