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..

Like I a give a crap about what you or other trolls say or believe.
my A54 has not had any overheating issues or abnormal battery drain. Heck of a $49.99 phone from Metro. I like it better than my Pixel 6a

This or Motorola Power G for a senior with low smartphone capabilities usage?
I don't know about the G power but this Samsung does not have wireless charging.
My mother struggles to get the plugs in the charging port, which is another reason why I upgraded her to a S21.
Wireless charging is the way to go if one has shaky hands. (or, if the charging port breaks after one year like it did on my S10....)

U or U1 isn't anywhere to be found in the specs.. just UI .. BIG DIFFERENCE

The note20 ultra is still a more premium phone even though it is three years old. The Sanpdragon 865+ processor is still faster than the A54 Exynos 1380, but you won't get the same battery life or longevity of updates as the A54. If you want the premium features, you could buy a used note20 ultra in good condition, and replace the battery to give it a new lease on life. I have the Note20 ultra currently, and the only feature I don't like is the curved edges on the screen, it makes it harder to use and protect in my opinion.
Here is a side by side comparison of the specs:

And a comparison of the processors: https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-com...n-865-plus
I am not sure about the cricket Wifi calling, it says it is compatible with all carriers though.

Thank you. How does the curved screen make it harder to use? I just activated a s20 ultra bought 7 months ago, renewed by Amazon with 1 year returnable guarantee, I am not liking the battery life even though the battery is like 90% according to battery apps.

For me, the curved screen makes it harder to tap stuff on the edges of the screen like the x on an ad. Also, I haven't been able to make a tempered glass screen protector stick for any length of time, so I use a film one. My battery life isn't good either, three years is a normal time for a smartphone battery to deteriorate. I am thinking about trying the job myself, not sure how much Samsung charges.

You are welcome! No, I haven't had any camera focus issues. I like the versatility of having a 5x optical telephoto, and the low light imaging is very good on the 108MP main sensor.

Quote from drti2 :
the A54 5G is $200 at Simple Mobile, requires 60 days for unlocking, lowest plan $25, so $250 otd plus tax for the phone w/ 2 months of service. Verizon network.

the A-Stock A53 5G is $115, only at your local simple mobile dealer. same unlock requirement. Verizon network.

also, they do have port in special $40/mo for unlimited data.

Just FYI

How do you get the A54 phone for $200?

I have Metro version A54 ,like another user commented, everything works, non-issue whatsoever ,bug free,solid build quality, battery can last about 1 day single handedly, camera performance on par with Pixel 6a at least .

only complaint is Samsung Us version can't be rooted. Otherwise I definitely use this phone as a daily driver.

Moreover, Samsung phone in general have definitely done a great job in terms of optimization, my experience of battery life it's much better than OnePlus across the board , no matter how u would like to compare them, mid vs mid,top tier s series to op 10,11

You can try Open Camera app. It's pretty good for general usage.

i have this phone. love the screen. performance is snappy but, when you tried to scroll down or up or swipe left and right, there is some lag but not that long. i did the newest update for One UI and it did help getting rid of lag so far. overall, best phone for the budget if you want the oled screen and micro sd card slot. it has an e-sim ready too. no wireless charger though but not a big deal to me.
