What customers don't like about Samsung Galaxy M54 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Lack of stereo speakers; the device only features a single bottom-firing speaker.
  • No official IP rating for water or dust resistance, making it less durable than its A-series counterparts.
  • Exynos 1380 processor can suffer from overheating issues and thermal throttling during intensive tasks or gaming.
  • Underwhelming secondary cameras, specifically the macro lens which many users find redundant.
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack and no charging brick included in the retail box.
  • Plastic build quality (back and frame) feels less premium and can be quite slippery.
  • Virtual proximity sensor sometimes leads to inconsistent performance during calls.
  • Limited availability in some markets, often restricted to online-only distribution.

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy M54 (8GB + 256GB variant) is a mid-range 5G smartphone featuring a large 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED Plus display with a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It runs on the Exynos 1380 octa-core processor and is powered by a high-capacity 6,000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging. The camera system includes a versatile 108MP main rear camera with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), an 8MP ultrawide, a 2MP macro lens, and a 32MP front camera, all capable of 4K video recording at 30fps. Key pros are the fantastic battery life and large, vibrant display, excellent performance for its class, and strong main camera quality; however, cons include the lack of an official IP rating for water resistance, the charger not being included in the box, a single (mono) speaker output, and potential inconsistencies with the virtual proximity sensor.
