Hi, welcome back, I'm a donkey. Whether Samsung 's Galaxy A series is selling well or not , you don't need to look at the sales rankings. Just look at the number of bowl knocks in our comments below to know how many there are . Including this year's Galaxy S23, the popularity is also the highest in the past three years, which fully corresponds to the sales In today’s episode , in addition to measuring the performance in detail, we will also talk about the mid-range mobile phones in 2023. The photos look very beautiful. Even the photosensitive element has been replaced with the main lens of the same specifications as the Galaxy S23 . Analyzing In terms of power, it is no different from the flagship , so you may ask what is the difference between it and the contemporary flagship Galaxy S23 Ultra in terms of camera. We will also talk about it. Speaking of the Samsung Galaxy A5X series, Samsung is very popular and has a very strong sales volume. A series from Galaxy A50 , Samsung gave a good screen at 10,000 yuan, Galaxy A51 reached mid-range and also has a good camera , until Galaxy A52, the first-generation magic machine , has a huge improvement, Samsung has brought 120Hz including the flagship. High screen update rate, waterproof and dustproof , and even the camera uses the OIS optical anti-shake module that was mainly locked in the flagship in the past, so it is also known as the first-generation magic machine. Then the Galaxy A52s that debuted was replaced with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor. It finally became a complete body. It ’s really true, it’s an undoubted true magic phone , and then the Galaxy A54 is on the scene . Is there something missing in the middle ? Well, there’s also the Galaxy A53. In fact, this phone is a good generation . Compared with the Galaxy A52s camera algorithm Even better , it also supports Samsung Pay, which is not supported by the Galaxy A52s . Compared with the market at that time, it is also an advantageous choice , but the performance has shrunk back, and I always feel that something is missing. In short, I know what you are most concerned about on the Galaxy A54 . So we I will definitely test the performance of the Samsung Exynos 1380 processor used in the Galaxy A54 this time and analyze it in detail . Whether this year’s Galaxy A54 can continue the title of magic machine? Let ’s take a look at the actual performance . Let’s take a look at the appearance first. Let’s just talk about the main points and not waste everyone’s time . Let’s talk about the materials first. This year ’s Galaxy A54 is quite sincere in terms of appearance and materials . The most important part is that the back is replaced with a glass back cover . The texture of the whole machine is better , but it adopts a glossy design. It will be easier to leave fingerprints. By the way, many people say that the Galaxy A54 looks very similar to this year’s Galaxy S series , but I personally think that apart from using similar design languages, they may have similarities on the posters. The texture and momentum of the former are really completely different . Look carefully at the ratio of the lens, the matte treatment of the back cover , and the Armor metal side frame exclusive to the Galaxy S series. The series has always had a strong sense of refinement , but on the other hand, the texture of the Galaxy A54 is obvious to all. There are quite a few articles in our community discussing the texture of the A series. By the way , if you are interested in seeing more new ones If you want to discuss mobile phones, you are welcome to join the Bonny Club or Samsung’s exclusive discussion area to participate in more new machine topics. In addition, the glass on both sides of the front and back this time is the durable Corning Gorilla 5th generation, which also continues IP67 dustproof and waterproof. Design In the case of daily use and accidental contact with water in rainy days, there is a waterproof design , which is more worry-free to use . There is still nothing to say about the appearance design . The performance of the glass waterproof is better than that of the current mid-range of the same level . But you can see the frame on the front. I said it’s a bit rough by the standards of 2023 Samsung , okay, let’s talk seriously . This time the Galaxy A54 mainly cancels the micro-curved edge design on the edge of the screen of previous generations , so you can see that the screen of the Galaxy A54 has changed this time . Just like the Galaxy S23, remember that sentence , it’s called a flat screen that can’t be flat anymore. If you look closely, the edge of the screen of the Galaxy A54 is also tightly attached to the middle frame without separating the screen frame . In terms of craftsmanship, the screen should be made Sticking to the middle frame also has certain restrictions on the manufacturing accuracy , but from a visual point of view, the previous 2.5D curved surface will be somewhat reflective , reducing the visual ratio of the frame , while the plane is invisible and there is no room for modification . But then again, if you have a high EQ The thickness of the frame can only be said to be no progress , and it is similar to the iPhone 14 Pro. If you have a low EQ, say , Hey Samsung, your family makes screens, and the top screens are all in your warehouse . Take a few pieces out to play with. Don’t hide it anymore. Well , I think that as long as the three sides of the top frame are shrunk a little bit , I don’t have much opinion. After all, for a mid-range phone , a certain distance will indeed make it more durable , and if it does fall , it will not be directly injured. To the OLED screen , but the next generation of the chin, make it as wide as possible on all four sides. To me, it is as far as possible. It is already very loose, because I also understand that the chin needs to be narrowed . The OLED package must be changed, and the entire cost will be obvious. Improvement This is why there are so few mid-level machines with a narrow chin , but Samsung, as long as you do it, I will double the public praise for the next generation . The last part of the card slot is also designed to choose two out of three , supporting the insertion of dual SIM cards or one SIM card. The SIM card is equipped with the increasingly rare MicroSD card expansion design , but this time there is also no 3.5mm headphone jack. It is recommended that you start with a Bluetooth headset . However, there is no Pro version of the Galaxy Buds2 recently. I think the price is pretty good . The sound performance is above the standard . Active The effect of noise reduction is also good . The point is that the body is small and compact . Compared with the Pro version, it is easier to wear comfortably. It is far away . It is worth mentioning that this time the Galaxy A54 is unprecedented. It is really unprecedented . They actually replaced the X-axis for the Galaxy A series. Sexual motor. Comparing the Galaxy A53, you can clearly hear that the linear motor of the Galaxy A54 is crisper and sharper. However, the preset strength is still too low . You can increase it in the settings. This time , the motor uses AAC’s solution . I guess you guys We should look at the performance first. Let ’s first look at the performance that everyone is most concerned about this time . The Galaxy A54 we have is equipped with Samsung’s new generation of Exynos 1380 with a 5nm process , with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage space . There is also an 8+ The 256 version is only 2,000 short. If you have a budget, it is recommended to go straight up. When it comes to processors, I actually have no special prejudice against Exynos at first glance. Except that Exynos has also had a brilliant past , judging by the degree of interest in the market. I think it is not a good thing for any component to be dominated by one company. In addition to being boring , it will even slow down the progress of the entire technology . Look at whether it is the CPU graphics card of the desktop or the recent mobile phone SoC . Under the competition, toothpaste is stepped on. In addition, Samsung SoC’s previous ISP adjustment modem is also considered good , so I think it’s a reasonable choice to practice the touch on the mid-range. After all, the upper limit is there, at least there will be no trouble . In short, I still hope that the entire market will maintain competition. After all, we consumers are the ones who benefit. But having said that, let me say the conclusion first . This time, the performance of Exynos 1380 has finally reached the performance level that mid-range should have. Let’s first look at the CPU performance. Let’s first look at the Geekbench 5 single-core part and scored 778 points. The multi-core score is 2767 points. The single -core performance is similar to that of Qualcomm 778G , but the multi-core performance is still about 5% behind . It even surpasses the Galaxy A53. The multi-core improvement has reached 42%. For Exynos itself, the progress is very large . The graphics performance is still one of Samsung’s previous home games . Let’s first test the 3DMark Wild Life Galaxy A54 and score 2790 points, surpassing the 778G by 11% . Compared with the Galaxy A53, it even reached 21%. From the 778G, the improvement reached 39%. On the whole , the performance of the CPU was 5% worse than that of the GPU. However , the theory is the theory after all. The focus is on the actual combat performance. The Bonney team also tried to reduce the impact of the ambient temperature on the test results this year. All our tests were conducted indoors as much as possible. The temperature is controlled at around 26 degrees , and QoS has been turned off, and the maximum FPS is turned on to let the performance run freely. Let’s first test PUBG M, which does not have such a high demand . At present, the Galaxy A54 can only run at a maximum of 30FPS in high quality, so of course it is running smoothly. There is no big problem. The whole process reaches an average of 30FPS . The temperature control is also very good. The maximum control is within 35 degrees , which is a little lower than the body temperature. The key point is power consumption. The average power consumption of the whole process is only 2.5W . You can continue to test the original God, which is very heavy for mid-range machines . Here we also directly take out the Galaxy A52s and A53 for comparison . We also set the original god’s image quality to the highest and run Liyue, which is more reasonable for mid-range machines . After 30 minutes of continuous play at the highest quality, the average frame rate of the Galaxy A54 dropped to 35.2FPS. At this time, the highest temperature fell to about 43 degrees in the front. So, has the performance improved? The answer is yes. Compared with the Galaxy A52s, the average 31.7FPS Galaxy The A53 is off. The average is 22.2FPS . The focus is on the power consumption of the Galaxy A54. The average of the Galaxy A52s is 5.4W. The average of the Galaxy A53 is 4.7W . The average power consumption of the Galaxy A53 is the lowest, only 4.3W . Overall, the Exynos 1380 Its positioning is probably a little better than the Snapdragon 778G GPU, and its performance is one level higher than that of the Dimensity 1080. The Galaxy A54 can be regarded as finally surpassing the Galaxy A52s both in theory and in actual combat , but the energy consumption ratio does have room for improvement . But at least at least There is no trouble , and it has reached a reasonable level , and the power performance of the Galaxy A54 is also very good. The battery life is a large 5000mAh battery . Let’s look at the FHD 120Hz Galaxy A54 in 11 hours and 1 minute . Compared with the Galaxy A53’s 10-hour Galaxy The 9 hours of the A52s are longer . The daily battery life of the Exynos 1380 is also very good under Samsung’s adjustments . Part of it is related to the optimization of the One UI 5.1 system in terms of power saving. In addition, the Galaxy A54’s screen also has automatic refresh rate adjustment. It can be seen that the system will automatically switch between 120Hz and 60Hz to achieve power saving. Now that we are talking about the screen, let’s take a look at the screen performance of the Galaxy A54. In terms of specifications , it still uses a 6.4-inch FHD+ 120Hz Super AMOLED O Extreme full screen supports 120Hz and 60Hz dynamic update rate adjustment . The specifications look similar, but this time the screen has been changed . The upgrade lies in the screen brightness. Samsung has pulled the screen of the Galaxy A54 to the flagship level , reaching 1000 nits The maximum brightness is very special , but compared with the official specification sheet , it is more accurate to measure it directly. In Bonnie’s actual measurement , the full -white screen under strong light can easily reach the official 1000 nits . The real 1000 nits Samsung The indication on the brightness is quite credible. Here I also remind everyone to remember to refer to the brightness of the full white screen when looking at the specification sheet. Don’t just look at the peak, that is, the peak brightness . Otherwise, I have measured too many peaks in recent years 1300 full white is only 700 or less , but to be honest, few manufacturers are willing to standardize the brightness of the full screen . I hope everyone can start to follow up. Here is also the previous generation of Galaxy A53. The measured result is 815 nits Galaxy A54 The brightness has indeed improved , and the peak brightness of the Galaxy A53 is about 1120 nits, and the Galaxy A54 can reach 1350 nits. Both performances are already very good . There is no problem at all under the sun or outdoors. Just take out the measuring equipment we bought a while ago. This set of machines seems to be able to buy more than a dozen Galaxy A54s , so if you can measure more, you can really measure more. The Galaxy A54 has two color modes in total , which are vivid and natural. Judging from the results It can be found that the goals of the two color modes are completely different. Under the vivid mode , Samsung’s goal should be to cover the color gamut as much as possible, covering 99% of sRGB , 91.9% of Adobe RGB , and 99.9% of DCI-P3 to fully cover the CCT . It is also about 7100K, which is more pleasing to the eye. However, in this mode, the color accuracy will be sacrificed . The average Delta E is only 4.8 and less than <2. If you are looking for color accuracy , then it is recommended to choose the natural mode. In this mode, the CCT will be closer The 6500K is limited to the sRGB color gamut. The key point is that the color accuracy in this mode is very good . The average Delta E reaches 1.41, which is a value <2, which means that the color accuracy is very good. Many people think that the screen feels yellowish in the natural mode. Yes , 6500K, With a 6600K screen, if you are used to colder screens, you will feel warmer , but this is the current standard. Yes , see our episode For the sake of the test and full test, the production of the program is not easy, so please support us a lot. You are also welcome to sponsor us to complete more practical test programs with reference value by joining the channel membership or YouTube’s super thank you button. In addition , this screen also supports Always On Display is always displayed. After it is turned on , the location of the fingerprint will also be displayed forever . It can be aligned faster to unlock and turn on the screen. Finally , let’s look at the camera that everyone cares about . I will divide it into two parts on the camera. The first part I will talk about the Galaxy A54 Compared with the current options on the market , including the previous generation of Galaxy A53 and Pixel 6a , how does it compare to the camera performance? It’s a pity that Pixel 7a can’t keep up with the comparison. In the second part, I want to talk about the mid-range and flagship in terms of camera performance. What is the difference ? Let’s start . Let’s look at the camera performance first. This time , the specification has been improved . The main lens specification has been pulled to the same size as the Galaxy S23’s 1/1.56-inch sensor with a 50-megapixel main lens and a 12-megapixel main lens. The ultra-wide-angle lens and the 5MP strategic macro lens . I myself expected that it would be more practical to switch to a double-telephoto lens. Let’s take a look at some samples . In principle, day and night shooting with the main lens is not too stressful for the Galaxy A54. The quality of the main lens itself is very good. The first set of proofs shows that the overall adjustment style of the Galaxy A54 and the Galaxy A53 is relatively close. The overall cooling has slightly improved the resolution , but let’s zoom in on the biggest difference. On the edge of the leaves , you can see that the HDR of the Galaxy A54 is not exposed in the edge processing, and the edge processing is more delicate . Let’s look at a few more sets of samples. In principle , the daily shooting is still relatively stable . The main reason is to look at the adjustment style. The performance of this group is almost above the standard. Last time, the difference between the Galaxy A54 and the Galaxy A53 is actually the resolution of the digital zoom. It can be seen that the resolution of the Galaxy A54 is significantly better under the 2x digital zoom. The Galaxy A53 has obvious smudge marks on the other side. Let’s continue Zoom in to 5 times , you can see that the Galaxy A54 is not only clearer , but also more stable in the overall exposure, which is quite an improvement point this time . I really have to mention that this set of photosensitive elements used in the Galaxy A54 is in the The resolution is really good . Let’s do a blind test . Let’s give you the first impression . Then let’s zoom in and look at the small corner circled on the screen . Which one do you think is the Galaxy A54? 3 2 1 The answer is this one and the other two Comparing the Galaxy S20 Ultra and S23 Ultra with these flagships , there is no obvious difference in level . I can only say that the details of the mid-range are really starting to be a bit surprising . The point is that the edge resolution is not inferior to the flagships. There are too many and the performance is really good . Here are some samples of night shots. We will not compare with the Galaxy A53 and Pixel 6a , but directly compare with the new and old flagships. The main lens of the Galaxy A54 is really comparable to the flagship here . A few sets of night shot samples are provided for your reference. On the whole , if you look carefully , you can still see the difference between the mid-range and the flagship. It mainly lies in the fineness of HDR highlight suppression and the overall resolution , but the first impression is actually already certain. It's at a very high level, donkey, so according to what you said , what do you mean this time the Galaxy A54 can already be used as a flagship? No, like the resolution of the ultra-wide-angle lens , which is only about 70% of the performance , or the telephoto lens , there is still a long way to go compared with the flagship , but I think the real difference is actually the experience. A well-stabilized scene is still a still photography , like you want to shoot people, objects, mountains, and the sea , as long as the objects don’t move fast and are not under complex light sources, the Galaxy A54 is already very good , and it can even be called a good performance . But If you want to take pictures of children, dogs , or things that move, the biggest difference between the mid-range and the flagship is really the experience , and the big devil who causes the difference between the two experiences is called Shutter Lag , which means pressing the shutter. Afterwards, the delay between the camera capturing the picture and reading it out . Let’s do a crazy test. Take a closer look . We quickly pulled the phone away from the side while pressing the shutter . The Galaxy S23 Ultra was successfully focused, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra was faster. It was still successful , and after pressing the shutter , the Galaxy S23 Ultra can complete the processing in real time. When you click into the photo album , it is already the final product without waiting for calculations. Let’s test the Galaxy A54 carefully . Pulling it to the side, the shutter is delayed , and it takes time to turn around to process after entering the album. This is what I mean by experience difference . For example, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is like an all-around player, with complete focal length coverage. Shooting far Shooting close-ups of people, mountains, seas, and puppies is easy to handle . Just press the shutter and let the magic happen. The current top of the mid-range is to achieve a good performance of the main lens , but when it comes to dynamic scenes, ultra-wide-angle telephoto is still not enough There is a long way to go , but back to the question , is it worth buying a mid-range camera? This is not the case . The price difference between the two is more than three times , and the mid-range camera can already cover most usage scenarios. For me, choosing a high-end is like life . He can complete any daily shooting work you want . It is enough to take pictures of scenes and people , and the flagship is like a tour. You can follow him to explore and let the magic happen after you press the shutter. On the whole, I think the milestone of the Galaxy A54 this time is to reduce the difference between the flagship and the mid-range main lens to a very small level. If you like to take pictures of scenes and people, it is very, very good. Compared with its peers, its main lens performance is really good , and the ultra-wide angle is also good. If your budget is around 10,000 yuan , the camera this time is indeed above the standard. Samsung ’s algorithm stability is also reassuring , but many people say that the flagship sensor is used in the mid-range. It can be used as a flagship , but there is still a long way to go . In terms of video performance, the Galaxy A54 supports up to 4K 30FPS and also supports the VDIS anti-shake algorithm. See the actual measurement . Compared with the Galaxy A53, the anti-shake performance is slightly improved . However, Seriously, if you care about video performance , you must look at this year's anti-shake king Galaxy S23 Ultra. In terms of various additional functions, such as the professional video mode with peak focus and the professional mode for taking pictures, these flagship functions Galaxy A54 is also available. can be used But Camera Assistant, ExpertRAW and other advanced operation apps are really exclusive to the flagship Galaxy A54, and also support Super Steady ultra-stable dynamic photography . Click this option to enable it. However, in this mode, only the highest FHD 30FPS is supported, and the effect is the same. Steady but pay attention . This mode uses a super wide-angle lens to shoot. It can only be used when the weather is sunny outdoors . Indoors or cloudy days, please do not use this mode . In addition, the Galaxy A54 also supports a shadow eraser, which can erase the environment when taking pictures. The shadows produced by the lights are very convenient to remove the shadows of the file . The reflective eraser is also supported, which can remove the reflection on the glass . The object eraser has many functions. It can remove objects you don’t like in the screen , but it does not support the flagship exclusive real-time removal. Memorized it , but it also supports the function of pressing and holding to recognize the text in the picture . Long press to copy the text in the picture. Finally , I saw some system details . The Galaxy A54 only supports wired charging up to 25W. The actual measurement is 47% in half an hour. 85% in 1 hour. 6 90% can be fully charged in 10 minutes, and the last 10% will enter the ultra-slow charging protection battery. It took a total of 1 hour and 28 minutes to fully charge . Samsung feels a bit conservative in terms of speed this year. The last 10% is quite long , but it’s okay. 1 85% in an hour, and finally slowly charge to protect the battery . The Galaxy A54 uses a very stable optical fingerprint recognition for biometric security. Although the speed is not as fast as ultrasonic , it is hardly affected by the thickness of the glass protector. If you choose a bright surface, you will not have it. Question So there is also a loyal supporter . In addition, this generation also supports facial recognition . On the system , the current version is Android 13 with One UI 5.1 , and Samsung also promised to achieve 4 major version updates and 5 years on the Galaxy A54. Security updates (for Android) Samsung is really good at system updates. In addition, this time the Galaxy A54 also supports RAM PLUS. The minimum can be turned off and the maximum can reach 6GB. If you have no special needs, just keep the default 4GB. The memory scheduling is also relatively stable and there will be no major problems. In the communication part, the Taiwan version also supports 5G and Samsung Wallet, and it is best to use the one-of-a-kind Samsung Wallet Easy Card function . In terms of sound effects, the Galaxy A54 still has dual speakers. Supporting Dolby Atmos, Bonnie also provides a set of comparisons for your reference. Finally, back to the topic , I am really happy to congratulate the Galaxy A54, which has finally ushered in a breakthrough. It has a glass back cover . The new Galaxy S23 has the same specification sensor and a new X-axis linearity. The performance of the motor Exynos 1380 has returned to the level it should have. The battery life is also good. The whole is on the right track . Of course, what you should look forward to the most is the wish list we made . Let me talk about our three expectations . First of all, it must be a narrower frame . You big Samsung must be able to do it. Second , look forward to the steady growth of Exynos . At least a stable Sapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chip will convince everyone with actual performance . In the end, I think the next generation should add a telephoto lens. The macro is really good. It’s almost the same. Well, this episode will come here first . In this episode, we will try our best to bring as many actual tests as possible within a limited time. I hope you enjoy watching it. Leave a message to discuss together. The final program production is not easy . Please support us a lot.
