The company capitalized on the popularity of the Galaxy S23 series with this device and it received a good response from customers.

The Galaxy M54 5G isn't really an entirely “new” device, it's been launched as an alternative of the Galaxy A54 5G in select marekts. There are minor cosmetic differences such as a narrower plastic frame, thicker lower bezel, and no water and dust resistance. It's powered by the same Eyxnos 1380 chipset with 8Gb of RAM and 128/256GB storage. A chunky 6,000mAh battery keeps the lights on with 25W fast charging.
