 Samsung’s Galaxy A series of smartphones is the perfect combination of performance and price. In March 2022, the company launched the latest iteration of the series, which includes the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G and Samsung Galaxy A33 5G. But we’ve already seen rumors about an A53 successor. So, here’s what we know about the Samsung Galaxy A54 so far.

What are the specifications and features of the Samsung Galaxy A54?

As you probably know by now, Samsung has yet to make any sort of announcement regarding the Galaxy A54, so we’re left to rely on rumors and past performance for this one. We’ve seen some news slip out, though, with suggestions of possible plans for new devices.

Designer Technizo Concepts has once again teamed up with Lets Go Digital to produce some great renders of what the Galaxy A54 might look like. In addition to the various still images posted on the website, there is a full video on Technizo Concepts’ YouTube channel showing off a device with a very attractive aesthetic.

While these are purely conceptual and not drawn from any official information, they were created with great attention to detail based on Samsung’s current design philosophy. For example, the front panel has the same symmetrical bezels as the Samsung Galaxy S22, which differs from the slightly thicker lower bezel currently found on the Galaxy A53 5G.

On the rear, we also see that the camera bump has been moved from the A53 5G’s molded bump to a cleaner platform with the lens uncovered. This is closer to the design used on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, so it might be a bit ambitious to get it on a cheaper device before it makes its way to the regular Galaxy S lineup.

Recent leaks from OnLeaks and 91Mobiles show renders of the so-called A54 with three rear cameras and a centered punch-hole camera, but no camera island, just three raised lenses — again mimicking the S22 Ultra.

Galaxy Club reported more details about the phone’s specs. First, it’s apparently going to move to a 50Mp main camera — you could see this as a downgrade from the A53’s 64Mp shooter, but it might actually be a better sensor and lens. The site also says the phone should have a slightly larger battery, rated at 4905mAh. The A53’s battery is rated at 4860mAh and advertised as a typical 5000mAh unit, so this could mean the A54 will go official with either 5050mAh or 5100mAh.

In terms of other specs, we haven’t seen solid rumors so far, but here’s what we expect to see in the new Samsung A54:

Better processor

The number one complaint in our review of the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G was performance, which we attribute to the Exynos 1280 chipset. If Samsung wants its next model to be competitive in an increasingly competitive market segment, the processor needs to be much better.

We recently saw reports that Samsung is working on developing a custom processor specifically for its Galaxy line. While doing so, it is believed that the company will limit the development of the Exynos series, as its resources will be deployed elsewhere. That means we’ll likely see Qualcomm processors in all Samsung devices next year, which could mean improved performance for customers in Europe and India.

Both the A52 and A52s have Snapdragon 7-series processors, which is good, so if Samsung can go back to something similar, things could improve considerably. XDA Developers has already reported that Qualcomm is about to unveil a new Snapdragon 7-series chip, so the Galaxy A54 could benefit from a performance boost from that chip.

More memory

Depending on the configuration available in your region, the A53 5G comes with 4, 6, or 8GB of RAM. In these days of demanding apps and high-quality photo/video capture, we’d like the top end of the selection to be the default on the Galaxy A54.

Faster charging time

While the battery life of the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is impressive, the charging time is not. It’s limited to 25W, which means you’ll need about two hours to restore a discharged battery to 100%. Even at the lower end of the price range, that’s poor, especially when some cheaper Android phones can fully replenish in 30-plus minutes.

 The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy S20 Ultra appear to be very similar phones, but there are still quite a few differences between these super phones. Two years is a long time in the smartphone world, and the S22 Ultra brings several improvements to the S20 Ultra’s template.

Maybe the two-year contract on that Galaxy S20 Ultra you bought in 2020 is about to expire, and you’re wondering if it’s worth upgrading to the Galaxy S22 Ultra. We’ve broken down the features of both phones below.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs Galaxy S20 Ultra price and availability

The Galaxy S20 Ultra cost $1,399 when it debuted. That’s still a surprisingly expensive price, even for a high-end flagship phone.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs. Galaxy S20 Ultra design

The two phones look similar from the front, with large curved displays and a central punch-hole selfie camera. However, the Galaxy S20 Ultra has a slightly larger screen at 6.9 inches compared to the 6.8-inch S22 Ultra.

The difference is greater at the back. The S20 Ultra has a large rectangular camera bump in the top left corner of the phone, while the S22 Ultra’s cameras are embedded individually in a p-shaped array on the back of the phone. But the biggest difference comes in the form of the S22 Ultra’s integrated S Pen. The S20 Ultra can’t even take a stylus, let alone make room for it in the body.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs Galaxy S20 Ultra display

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has a slightly larger screen at 6.9 inches than the 6.8-inch S22 Ultra. Both panels offer QHD resolution, and both have a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. However, there are key differences in how these refresh rates and resolutions work.

The Galaxy S20 Ultra has a static refresh rate, meaning you can set it to 120Hz or 60Hz with no room for adjustment in between. Also, if you set the phone to 120Hz, the phone will default to FHD resolution instead of full QHD to save a bit of battery life.

Although the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s display has a maximum refresh rate of no more than 120Hz, it can still maintain a QHD resolution. Plus, its refresh rate is adaptive, meaning the phone can drop the refresh rate all the way down to 1Hz when the display isn’t moving, saving battery life when you don’t need the smoothness. When you’re doing something that benefits from a fast refresh rate, the screen rises again.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs. Galaxy S20 Ultra cameras

On its back, you’ll find a 108MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 48MP telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom, and a time-of-flight sensor for measuring distance. The S20 Ultra also has a 40MP selfie camera on the front.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra’s camera is similar but improved compared to its earlier predecessor. You still get a 108MP main camera, but it now has a larger sensor and an ultra-sharp lens that improves low-light shots without flare. There’s also a 12MP ultra-wide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and a second 10MP telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom. at last. The S22 Ultra also offers a 40MP selfie camera.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs. Galaxy S20 Ultra performance

The Galaxy S20 Ultra features a Snapdragon 865 chipset, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and a choice of 128GB or 512GB of storage.

The S22 is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, a chip from the same family as the 865 but two generations newer. For memory, choose from 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB of RAM and 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage. That means you can opt for worse RAM specs than the S20 Ultra if you want, but you can also get more if you’re willing to pay for it.

There’s a clear gap between the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the Galaxy S20 Ultra, whether it’s computing performance, graphics processing, or video rendering.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs. Galaxy S20 Ultra battery and charging

Both Ultra phones are powered by 5,000 mAh batteries and support 45W charging. However, the S20 Ultra ships with a 25W charger in the box. The S22 Ultra does not come with a charger.

With the regular adaptive refresh rate enabled, the S22 Ultra lasted 9 hours and 50 minutes on a single charge on our custom battery rundown test. Fixed at 120Hz, the Galaxy S20 Ultra ran for 9 hours and 13 minutes, which shows that while the S22 Ultra has improved, it’s not as much as we’d like.

In terms of charging, the S20 Ultra charges from 0% to 63% in 30 minutes using its included 25W charger. The S22 Ultra charges to 58% in the same amount of time using a 25W charger, even with the same battery capacity.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs. Galaxy S20 Ultra software

As you might expect, both phones use Android through Samsung’s One UI interface, although the S20 Ultra starts with Android 10 and One UI 2.0, while the S22 Ultra starts with Android 12 and One UI 4.1.

 So far, it looks like the Galaxy S23 will boost most of the features of the existing Galaxy S22, with updates to some key components. If the so-called camera, battery, and chipset changes end up happening, the Galaxy S23 will certainly be a better phone. But whether it will be significantly better than the S22 is less certain.

Below we detail the key features of the Galaxy S22, as well as its rumored Galaxy S23 equivalent.

Samsung Galaxy S23 vs. Galaxy S22: Release date and price

New Galaxy S models arrive every spring, so we’re almost guaranteed to see the S23 arrive in March 2023. However, some rumors suggest that Samsung will launch these phones in January 2023 to prevent users from being distracted by new phones from its competitors.

The Galaxy S22 series is already on sale, with the base model Galaxy S22 starting at $799. We hope that the S23 series will not increase in price, which means that the Galaxy S23 will cost $799 and the Galaxy S23 Plus will cost $999. Pray there are no rumors telling us that Samsung plans to charge more.

Samsung Galaxy S23 vs Galaxy S22: Design and display

There are rumors that the Galaxy S23’s new look is apparently inspired by the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which would make the new phone look very different from the Galaxy S22. The lenses will be embedded separately on the back of the phone, rather than a unified “Contour Cut” camera block on the back. The front and sides of the Galaxy S23 look identical, at least according to renders created based on the phone’s purported specs.

For colors, we’re obviously using beige, black, green, and light pink in the Galaxy S23 series. According to a source, the overall size and shape of the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S23 appear to be the same, save for a fraction of an inch in height and width. The S23 could have thicker bezels, though, which would be an unfortunate change since it would take up some display real estate.

Don’t expect any major display differences, either. The Galaxy S23 should inherit the same 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch FHD OLED panels with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. These are all nice displays, but obviously we would have preferred some sort of upgrade to make the new model a more worthwhile update.

Samsung Galaxy S23 vs. Galaxy S22: Cameras

From the rumors we’ve heard so far, expect no difference between the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S22’s rear cameras. The S22’s 50MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and 10MP 3x telephoto camera should all carry over. We’ve heard more specific talk about the ultra-wide and telephoto cameras, but nothing about the main sensor, so maybe we’ll still see some changes there.

Meanwhile on the front of the phone, the selfie camera may change from the current 10MP sensor to a 12MP sensor. Whether this change heralds other upgrades to the selfie camera overall is unclear, but it should at least mean more detailed selfies on the S23 compared to the S22.

Samsung may introduce some additional photo enhancements into the Galaxy S23’s software to help round out the already impressive photos taken by the Galaxy S22. But anyone looking to drastically improve their photo setup needs to look elsewhere — namely the Galaxy S23 Ultra’s rumored 200MP main camera.

Samsung Galaxy S23 vs. Galaxy S22: Performance and battery

Samsung is expected to upgrade the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset in the Galaxy S22 to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which Qualcomm is expected to announce later this month. The 8th Gen 1 chip was powerful but inefficient, so we’re expecting the 2nd Gen to emulate Samsung’s more powerful, lower-power Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset used in the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4.

The new Snapdragon chip appears to be a lock for the US version of the Galaxy S23. A global version is in doubt, though, as models released in Europe typically switch to Samsung’s latest Exynos chips. That’s this year’s Exynos 2300.

Some rumors claim that Samsung is still working on it, while others argue that the company plans to use Snapdragon chips globally. That’s something Qualcomm, the designer of the Snapdragon chip, also seems to have hinted at, which will be very exciting news for Samsung buyers in the UK and other Europe who’ve had enough of the less powerful latest Galaxy S Exynos version of .

The memory and storage inside the Galaxy S23 are said to be unchanged from what we got on the Galaxy S22. That means all models come with 8GB of RAM, with 128GB of base storage, and there’s also the option of a 256GB or 512GB model.

Battery life on the Galaxy S22 wasn’t great, but we might see improvements on the Galaxy S23 thanks to rumors of larger batteries in both the regular and Plus models. Increasing battery life requires more than a bigger battery, but luckily, the Galaxy S23 series is also rumored to be getting a “Light” performance mode that could help with that.

>>>>>>>>>>>Samsung battery

 Compared to the Galaxy S21, the Galaxy S22 has some notable upgrades, such as a brighter screen, better cameras, improved night mode, and a more refined design.

Samsung’s phones still have plenty of room to grow, especially as they face increasing competition from Google’s Pixel lineup. Samsung typically releases new Galaxy S devices in the first few months of the year, which means we might expect the Galaxy S23 to arrive in January or February. I wish the new Galaxy series had a longer-lasting battery and more photography features to take advantage of the S-series’ excellent cameras. Here’s everything you want Samsung to add and upgrade to the Galaxy S23 lineup.

Regular Galaxy S23 has longer battery life

Battery life is never long enough, but standard Galaxy S devices in particular need a boost. The 6.1-inch Galaxy S22 usually lives up to Samsung‘s claimed all-day battery life, but sometimes just barely.

The Galaxy S22 has the smallest battery of the three phones in the Galaxy S22 series, and it shows. I set the refresh rate to high, which usually drains the battery faster. The Galaxy S22 Ultra has a 6.8-inch screen and a 5,000mAh battery with similar battery life.

It makes sense that the smallest phone in the Galaxy S22 series also has the smallest battery. But hopefully Samsung will find a way to improve battery life on next year’s 6.1-inch Galaxy phones, whether it’s through better power efficiency or a larger physical battery. After all, Apple has upgraded the iPhone 13 Mini to give it two to three hours more battery life compared to the iPhone 12 Mini. Battery life was a major complaint against the Galaxy S22, and fixing that would make the Galaxy S23 a more attractive option for Android fans who prefer a smaller phone.

South Korean news outlet The Elec says this is indeed the case, as it reports that Samsung is aiming to increase the Galaxy S23’s battery capacity by about 5 percent.

Smarter camera features

The Galaxy S22’s 50-megapixel camera and the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s 108-megapixel camera capture photos with rich colors and details. Just wish you could do more with these cameras in terms of editing and software features.

The Galaxy S22 series features shooting options like Panorama, Night Mode, Portrait Mode, Slow Motion, Super Slow Motion, and Director’s View, allowing you to record video with two different lenses at the same time. Then there’s Single Take, which creates multiple stylized shots with a single press of the shutter button. You can also download the Expert Raw app for finer control over photo settings.

 But not much has changed between the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22 in terms of camera features and shooting modes. Would love to see Samsung take a page from Google, which often adds nifty camera tricks that feel functional rather than gimmicky. For example, Google introduced a new feature on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro called Photo Unblur, which can sharpen low-quality photos, even those taken with older cameras. As the name suggests, Face Unblur freezes moving subjects that may appear blurry.

Features like these show that Google isn’t just thinking about camera quality, but ways to take away the everyday annoyances of phone photography. On the other hand, many of Samsung’s updates aim to give content creators more tools to capture different types of footage and video clips.

While the Galaxy S23 may not be available for another two to three months, Samsung is already making improvements to the cameras on its current Galaxy phones. It just added a new feature to the Expert Raw app that helps stargazers take better photos of constellations, similar to what Google offers for astrophotography on Pixel phones. There’s also a new Camera Assistant app that lets you enable or disable certain features, like a faster shutter or automatic lens switching.

Faster charging and less expensive

The Galaxy S22 series supports fast charging up to 25 watts on the Galaxy S22 and up to 45 watts on the Galaxy S22 Plus and Ultra. But you have to buy a separate charger to do so.

With the Galaxy S23, expect to see a more significant boost in charging speeds, as well as more affordable charger options. For example, the OnePlus 10 Pro offers 65-watt or 80-watt fast charging, depending on your region, both of which are faster than what Samsung offers on paper.

 The latest Samsung Galaxy S23 and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra rumours shed more light on the performance of the new smartphones and once again hinted that a release date could come sooner than expected.

Turning first to a new tweet from Ice Universe, the Galaxy S23 series may get a new “Light” performance profile. Turning it on is said to slow down the phone’s processor to improve battery life and keep the phone cool. IU adds that this won’t affect the phone’s refresh rate, meaning you’ll still be able to enjoy the smoothness of the 120Hz display featured on all three predicted Galaxy S23 models, while still maximizing battery life.

This setting is separate from the Game Booster option that Samsung offers to adjust game performance on its devices. That’s another benefit, as it might mean you can get the most out of your phone while gaming, but switch back to a more productive profile as soon as you’re done.

No Exynos yet?

Also from Ice Universe, a quote from Qualcomm CFO Akash Palkhiwala. Screenshots provided by IU claim that Samsung’s new phone will provide a huge boost for the company, which makes the Snapdragon family of chips used by Samsung and other smartphone makers.

Palkhiwala initially spoke about how Qualcomm expects Samsung‘s launch to play out in the “second half of the March quarter,” which matches the aforementioned rumored launch date. More notably, he also said that Qualcomm’s “share” will change, “rising from 75% of the GS22 to the global share of the GS23”. This seems to suggest that the Snapdragon chip will be in all Galaxy S23 models, not just some of them.

Some sources say that Samsung will use a typical combination of its in-house Exynos 2300 chip and the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in the Galaxy S23 series, just as it has done with Qualcomm over the past few years to use its chips in certain markets. . However, there have also been previous rumors that the S23 series will only have a Snapdragon chip to deliver consistent performance to phones globally, which is in line with what Palkhiwala said.

Samsung has been trying for some time to make its Exynos chips as powerful as the equivalent Snapdragon models, so Samsung customers may opt for inferior phones, depending on where they buy their devices. So no matter where you are, you get a better Snapdragon chip, which is a benefit for users living outside the US who already get a Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S phone.

Galaxy S23 Outlook

Aside from the chip, new performance modes, and an earlier-than-normal release date, there are more interesting rumors about the Galaxy S23 lineup. The regular and Plus models are thought to be redesigned, along with an upgraded 12MP selfie camera. The Galaxy S23 Ultra may also get a camera upgrade, in the form of a new 200MP main camera on the back.

 The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 still has some way to go, but Samsung is considering how to fix some of its biggest flaws based on the latest leaks. According to leaker Lanzuk, Samsung may be using a new material to make its next-generation foldable devices.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is our top pick for the best foldable phone right now, but there’s no denying it’s still a bulky phone. At 9.28 ounces, it’s lighter than the 9.5-ounce Fold 3, but still significantly heavier than the 8.5-ounce iPhone 14 Pro Max. To be fair, though, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch display, while the Fold’s foldable panel is 7.6 inches. Using lighter materials will help offset the phone’s large size and allow for extra features to be added without making the phone too bulky.

What extra features might these be? For a potential answer to this question, we can refer to a report from a recent Samsung Mobile Experience (MX) Vendor Conference, reported by TheElec. While painting a rosy picture for current and future foldable phone performance, Samsung at the conference still recognized room for improvement in its foldable phones, noting some of the challenges it expects its suppliers to overcome in future foldable phones . That includes making foldable phones that are lighter, thinner, and more durable, with smaller display creases, which are all the complaints we and other users have had since the original Galaxy Fold.

More interestingly, Samsung also agrees that a built-in S Pen slot is a key feature, and it reportedly wants to add one to the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It doesn’t explain why not, but hopefully that’s a good sign the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have this feature.

Samsung also highlighted the importance of improving its foldable camera. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 has improved the camera from the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but Samsung was apparently held back by the weight and thickness of the device. Perhaps by using the aforementioned lighter materials, Samsung will feel comfortable adding a better camera to the Galaxy Z Fold 5. For example, we could see a more powerful telephoto camera like the one offered by the Galaxy S22 Ultra or a higher-resolution main camera.

Finally, Samsung mentioned that the more square inner screen aspect ratio of the Z Fold series requires more software to adapt. This isn’t just a problem for Samsung’s foldables, but as more rivals launch and ship foldables to the US, UK and Australia, Samsung has to stay ahead of the foldables market if it wants to stay on top. overcome this problem.
