At a 17% markdown, the Android phone lands under the $380 mark, which doesn’t sound half bad. Then again, the handset has seen a $100 price cut on several occasions, so now’s not exactly its best price ever. However, you can sign up with a carrier with the help of Best Buy. This will unlock an extra $100 off, but keep in mind that an activation fee is still required.
And if you’re more of a Google Pixel fan, you might want to check out Amazon’s deal on the Pixel 7. The phone is still available at a $199 cheaper price over there, giving you plenty of value for your money.
Like most mid-range phones, this bad boy had to put up with a few compromises to keep its lower price point. But don’t despair – those aren’t far too many. On the good side of things, you have a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rates, while the Pixel phone has a 6.3-inch OLED screen with 90Hz frame refresh rates.
Another great thing about the Samsung phone is its clean and neat design. It greatly resembles the flagship Galaxy S series, which is undoubtedly appreciated. It’s not half bad on the camera front, showcasing a 50MP main unit, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 5MP macro camera on the rear. Then again, we all know this Pixel beats the Galaxy phone on the camera front.
On the downside of things, the A54 isn’t as powerful as some of its competitors (take the Pixel 7, for example.) The Exynos 1380 chip isn’t as capable as the Tensor G2, and you can expect some stutters here and there. However, the Samsung handset has a bigger battery than the Google phone.
Ultimately, if the occasional stutter doesn’t matter too much to you, the Galaxy A54 is a great mid-range option. Plus, you can now get it at $75 off on Best Buy or even more with activation.
