In terms of imaging, this year’s A-series features yet another triple-camera array. A 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilisation and an f/1.8 lens is flanked by a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 5-megapixel macro camera. For the 2023 refresh, Samsung has also kept the 32-megapixel selfie camera. According to the company, the changes to the camera system include larger pixels (more detail, less noise) and improved optical stabilisation, which has been increased from 0.95 degrees of stability to 1.5 degrees – a significant improvement, especially if you’re capturing a lot of videos. In addition, as shown in the main image at the top of this story, Samsung has integrated Snapchat filters into the native camera app. It will sync with your Snapchat account, providing you with quick access to filters across all cameras.
The Galaxy A54 is available in two glossy colours in the United States: black and violet. There will also be white and lime colourways available. Among our images is the Galaxy A34, which has a notch selfie camera, a slightly larger screen, and a hypnotic, familiar, pearlescent finish that I believe is nicer than the more expensive A54. Only the A54 will be available in the US, where it will be available for preorder on March 30th before going on sale on April 6th for $450 – the same price as last year’s model.
