This is a great phone. Using it now. But! If you are going unlocked, it's best to pay the same for a S21-S22 flagship model from swappa or ebay.
The cpu on the A series just can't compete under load. Once you open 5+ apps at once, you start reaching the top end of this phone.
And lastly, if you ever decide to do a samsung trade-in with the A series, they offer shit in compensation. The S series holds it's value. Just some things to consider.
Understand that 'factory unlocked' and 'cell provider unlocked' are not using the same hardware. For instance, if you unlock your A54 on ATT, you can't use Verizon bands. And if you are on a mvno, it's even more hardware neutered.
Factory unlocked, as in this post, is where you want to be. Signified with a U or U1(USA) at the end of the model number.
This is the highest grade current model Samsung that still has expandable storage with a microSd slot. Thanks for posting OP!
I had the A51 5G for 3 yrs,just traded up to this phone A54..Got from Samsung gave a good trade in value for my old phone..So far it's been a great mid range phone..Does everything I want and need a phone to do..Plus Samsung gives i think 4 major updates and 5 yrs security updates..not bad..I'll use this phone for 3-4 yrs..

That is NOT the case with the unlocked version.

Just today...4 hours while driving
Screen on.
Waze.
Iheart
Bluetooth.
(Also Phonecalls and emails)

70% +/- also similar results on Saturday
I don't think the overheating and excessive battery drain are related to any "Version" of this phone, as Samsung uses dynamic carrier configuration toolkits (DCT) to configure carriers. And I also don't trust your data or observations, as Exynos 1380 is well documented for over heating and excessive battery consumption https://www.reddit.com/r/samsung/...s_problem/.

Unless you are an unabashed Samsung enthusiast or exhibit behavior unbecoming of a respectful individual, it is unlikely that you would resort to falsehoods or become so easily agitated.

If you have a pacemaker, don't get this phone.
When my mother got her pacemaker, I had to get her a new phone, and I got her this model.
Her pacemaker uses a constant contact type of app and it would kill the battery in 2 to 3 hours.
Add in the 2 to 3 hour charge time, we quickly realized that this phone was not going to do well.
Got her a new S21 and that did the trick. (bigger battery and able to toggle off so much more unnecessary stuff) Battery lasts 12 to 14 hours, although it's my mom. No gaming or really much of anything beyond phone calls and playing 10-10.

S21 5G 128GB unlocked in "good" condition w 1 year warranty is $221. I've had good experiences with back market, that's why i checked there.

https://www.backmarket.com/en-us/...roll=false [backmarket.com]

Or $189 from eBay upon quick glance. I have no idea about this seller, but it seems the s21 could be a better deal, IMO.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/185946409036?

About $313 for new from eBay, unless u want open box.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/203340701820?
The 3rd link is to a brand new S21. It's cheaper than the listed phone and the S21 is a much better device.
Edit:
No manufacturers warranty, no sim card. Does have the Allstate protection for $45.
Given this info, I'm skipping the eBay deal.

For those interested, here's a benchmark listing of old flagship chipsets and current midrange chipsets:

Chipset (Device w/ Chipset) --> Antutu 9 / GB5 Single / GB5 Multi / 3DMark
SD888 (Samsung S21) --> 804,877 / 1,117 / 3,693 / 5,039
SD865 (Samsung S20 5G) --> 655,345 / 929 / 3,449 / 4,406
SD855 (Samsung S10) --> 517,667 / 740 / 2,610 / 3,098
Exynos 1380 (Samsung A54 5G) --> 514,010 / 773 / 2,596 / 2,819
MediaTek D1080 (Samsung A34) --> 504,185 / 841 / 2,369 / 2,302
SD845 (Samsung S9) --> 404,343 / 503 / 2,194 / 1,438
SD695 (Moto G Stylus 5G 2022) 398,830 / 692 / 2,002 / 1,199

* Scores taken from nanoreview.net

The A54 is a tiny bit under S10 levels of performance.

Benchmarks don't take into account that newer chipsets tend to be more power efficient. In addition, other factors such as higher screen refresh rates, a higher input sample rate, and more RAM might make a device feel faster in daily use.

Good catch.

Read closer. It has no manufacturers warranty. It's in the details.

You're right.
I saw "brand new" and quit reading.
Can you tell that I'm not a ebay shopper? lol.
It does say no sim card, no warranty, etc.

this is a good phone for someone that isn't a heavy user. everything just works and the rear camera is good. the only thing holding the phone back is the chipset, but if they used a flagship processor, it would take all the sales from the s line.

So ridiculous that it's the CHEAPER phones with the basic features I actually want.

Yes, if you want the premium line, the last one with a microsd card slot is the Note20 ultra. You can find a used one for under $400.
