   So far I’ve had this phone for nearly two years. No real issues save for slightly annoying OS updates. The latest one actually makes it slightly more difficult to get into settings, and turns the power button into an AI launcher… thankfully that can be disabled and return previous functionality.
   The phone has been great so far. Very moisture resistant (got caught in the rain), with decent texts and very good battery life. It’s a bit heavy, but that’s not much of a complaint since it’s due to the big battery and glass construction.
   I lament the loss of an audio jack, but a USB adapter actually works better as the old audio jacks use to always fail. The fingerprint reader is a bit dicey and unreliable, but I actually prefer to use a code. It’s easy to use as well. Probably the best phone I’ve ever owned.
   I’ve heard that Samsung doesn’t like the fact that this phone sold so well, since it cuts into the profits of their more expensive phones. It’s kind of funny. They made the phone too good a deal, so people would often go for this instead of their more expensive models.

   I needed to replace my Galaxy A30s international model phone after about 4 years; as one of the budget phones in the Galaxy line, the A30s offered dual sim capability, but I had to buy an international model with no US warranty to get that flexibility. Shame on Samsung US for not offering that phone!

   The A54 5g phone for the US offers both eSIM and physical SIM capability, so we can travel abroad without have to physically remove our US SIM. We use Consumer Cellular, which resells AT&T (and used to resell T-Mobile). The A54 5g is priced a bit higher than the A30 series, but still far less than the top end domestic offerings. Who needs to pay $1,000 for a phone? Every few years? Really?

   My wife bought the A54 5g when it was introduced on the Consumer Cellular website; it was a great introductory buy at $300. I bought this for a bit more, and only within the last few months. Still, there isn’t a better (my opinion) mid range phone available on the market (well, the US market, at least).

   We live in an almost dead zone, about 2 miles away in opposite directions from cell towers (and the digital coverage at our house is about 1 bar). Still, this phone makes and receives calls very well; we augment that by using WiFI calling through our Xfinity router. Call coverage is good.

   I preferred the A30s fingerprint reader, under the screen on the front, compared to on the side of this phone. ALso, unless you autolock the screen within about 5-10 seconds of last use, and happen to toss it into your pocket, you may find that the screen is so sensitive in your pocket that you will inadvertantly open the screen and exercise home screen icons, including the phone. Imagine my surprise when I got a call back from the 9-1-1 operator asking what my emergency was. Oops, pocket dial, my bad. So I’ve taken to a minimal active screen time and making sure the screen is black before I put the phone in my pocket. Other than that, no issues. Enjoy!
