Samsung Galaxy F54 5G first impressions: All-rounder phone with some big specs

Samsung Galaxy F54 5G has been launched in the sub-Rs. 30000 segment today. It packs a large battery and some quite gimmicky photography features, but essentially looks to lure users with its all-rounder capabilities. In our first impressions, here is how Samsung Galaxy F54 5G fares.

Design: Unlike the recent offerings from Samsung that had a matte-premium look, the Galaxy F54 makes a new design statement with a silver colour variant, which gives a rainbow effect when light strikes it. Yes, it is prone to smudges.  (Divya / HT Tech)

Battery: Galaxy F54 packs a powerful 6000mAh battery which is more than enough to survive a whole day even with extensive gaming and video streaming. But 25W slow charging is something that takes Galaxy F54 a step back in the race of top mid-range smartphones.  (Divya / HT Tech)
