Samsung India recently unveiled the new mid-segment Galaxy F54 5G smartphone under its F-series in India. The new Galaxy F54 5G smartphone is competing in a crowded below Rs 30,000 range. I used this phone for over 10 days and here's a quick review on the same.
Samsung Galaxy F54 5G price
Let's start with pricing. The new Galaxy F54 5G smartphone is priced at Rs 27,999 and comes in an 8GB+256GB storage variant. The device is available in two colors, Meteor Blue and Stardust Silver. I tested the Stardust Silver and it looks beautiful. When light shines on the back panel, it creates various colors. The device does offer premium looks in the mid-segment range.
Samsung Galaxy F54 5G Design
Coming to the design and build, the Galaxy F54 5G is impressively slim at 8.4 mm and weighs just 199 grams, making it lightweight and comfortable to hold, even with its large 6000 mAh battery. The device boasts a sturdy build quality with curved frames and edges. On the back, you'll find a circular triple rear camera setup, resembling Samsung's premium Galaxy S23 series smartphones. However, there are a couple of drawbacks to note: the glossy finish of the rear panel can be slippery, and the device tends to attract fingerprint marks and dust easily. Also, the phone lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack. Overall, the design has scored decent marks here.
