Samsung Galaxy A54 camera scores revealed, check global and high-end ranking
Samsung officially launched the Galaxy A54 5G smartphone on March 15, which comes with 10 flagship-grade camera features. In a recent development, DXOMARK revealed camera scores of Samsung Galaxy A54 and listed 84th in the global ranking and 9th in the high-end ranking.
According to testers at DXOMARK, the camera scores of Samsung Galaxy A54 arrived through their rigorous test suite to measure its performance in photo, video, and zoom quality from an end-user perspective. And seeing the overall review, DXOMARK camera scores may disappoint Galaxy A54 buyers.
The testers accept that the Galaxy A54 camera delivers good exposure and wide dynamic range in bright light and indoors. In landscape shots, the device offers decent detail and accurate and repeatable autofocus in most conditions.
On the flip side, they found some cons such as exposure and white balance instabilities, focus errors in macro mode and scenes with moving elements, unwanted artifacts, including halo effects, ghosting and color quantization in high-contrast scenes and on moving subjects, and delay between autofocus lock and capture.
Talking about global competitors, the Galaxy A54 ranks 84th with less score than the Xiaomi 11T Pro and others. In the high-end category, Samsung’s 2023 premium mid-ranger ranks 9th with rivals like Nothing Phone 1, Oppo Reno8, and Xiaomi 12 Lite in 6th, 7th, and 8th rank, respectively.
DXOMARK’s verdict
The Samsung Galaxy A54 5G delivered an average performance for a device in the High-End segment in DXOMARK Camera tests. Still, images were well exposed in good light without too much contrast, making the Samsung a decent option for landscape photography.
However, DXOMARK testers noticed white balance and exposure instabilities across consecutive shots, as well as a range of unwanted image artifacts, including ghosting and halo effects. Slow autofocus in low light was an additional limiting factor, making it difficult to react quickly and capture moving subjects.
Galaxy A54 camera specifications
Samsung’s new Galaxy A54 smartphone comes with a 50MP primary camera with f/1.8-aperture, PDAF, and OIS. The ultrawide camera brings 12MP resolution w/ 1.12µm pixels, 123˚ field of view, and f/2.2-aperture. The third – macro – sensor has a 5MP resolution with f/2.4-aperture.

Let’s take a look at how Samsung Biometric Card IC can make card transactions PIN free and convenient, solving one of the world’s most pressing payment and identification problems. The video mentioned below gives you a high-level understanding of how it will change the way people pay in the future.
What the video below:
Samsung Biometric Card IC
An innovative payment card technology called a biometric card offers cardholders a secure and convenient way to authenticate themselves at the point of sale (POS) by using their fingerprint instead of a personal identification number (PIN) or signature.
Cardholders don’t need to enter a PIN for high-value transactions, making transactions faster and easier. An added layer of security reduces concerns about the card or PIN theft and increases confidence in using the card, especially when traveling because you don’t have to worry about fraudulent payments even if your card is stolen or lost.
Samsung’s latest Galaxy S23 series brings some of the best camera smartphones out there. Following the launch, it was noticed that the non-Ultra models of Samsung Galaxy S23 have some issues, causing blurry close-up shots, which are now officially acknowledged.
What’s the issue?
Some Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Plus smartphone users noticed that the area around the subject looks a bit blurred when taking a close-up shot. The impact of this problem is limited to both low-end models of the lineup, while the Ultra remains issue-free.
What’s the reason?
Samsung disclosed through its community post that Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus use a 50-megapixel primary camera powered by AI features and machine learning. The blurry close-up problem causes due to the sensor’s bright aperture, which makes stunning Nitghtography possible.
Fix coming in the future!
Samsung not only explained the issue and shared the reason, but also confirmed that the blurry close-up shots problem on Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus is planned to improve (fix) in a future software update. However, when this software update will release, remains a question for now.
Workarounds
If you are experiencing this on your Samsung Galaxy S23 or S23+, there are a few solutions you can try:
- Try taking a picture from a bit further away; if the subject you are photographing is about 30 cm away, move back a hand’s width
- Try to take a photo holding the phone vertically; if you hold the phone horizontally or diagonally, the background may appear blurred.
Why S23 Ultra is unimpacted?
Galaxy S23 Ultra remains unimpacted from the blurry shot issue as its camera automatically switches to the wide-angle camera and activates the focus booster to prevent blur. But do note that the focus enhancer stops working in high-resolution image mode, possibly resulting in a blurry close-up.
