Samsung Galaxy M54 is an excellent Android mid-ranger [Top 4 reasons]
Samsung Galaxy M54 5G is an excellent mid-range Android phone, packed with premium features to meet the needs of people. With its pro-grade features, it meets the needs of people especially those looking for a smartphone with a large high-resolution screen, stable video recording and a mega battery.
We are listing the top 4 reasons that make Samsung Galaxy M54 an excellent Android mid-ranger:
Big, high res display
Galaxy M54 5G meets key user requirements thanks to its 6.7-inch Super AMOLED+ screen, which is perfect for surfing the internet, using social media apps, performing important work tasks, and of course, watching your favorite videos, movies, and web series.
Its display introduces refresh rate of 120Hz, in order to ensure smoother and more fluid transitions and animations, even for games. Also, the screen offers tone and contrast controls to maximize clarity, delivering excellent viewing even in bright environments.
108MP Camera and OIS
In addition to the main camera of 108 MP resolution taking incredible photos with quality and richness of detail, the Galaxy M54 5G has premium features to record videos with more stability.
The device features OIS technology which reduces shakes. Thankfully, even if your hands become unsteady while filming or video calling, the Galaxy M54’s stabilization system will kick in to deliver super stable footage.
Mega Battery
The smartphone packs a 6,000mAh battery so you won’t be let down during a full day of intense use. The M54 5G supports up to 23 hours of continuous video, which means you can marathon that series on streaming services.
In addition, the phone’s battery is also ideal for people who have an intense work routine and need to extract maximum productivity from their smartphone screen.
“If you need to make a video call for a longer period, the mega battery of the M54 5G will keep up with your routine.”
Flagship software support
Samsung expanded its 4+5 strategy of after-sales software support to the Galaxy M series, starting with the M54 model. Similar to flagships, the Galaxy M54 continues Samsung’s commitment to bringing people an up-to-date, safer, and long-lasting mobile experience.
“Galaxy M54 5G comes pre-loaded with Android 13 and guaranteed to get 4 major OS and 5 years of regular security patches.”

One UI 8 must have Android 16’s Advanced Protection features
Samsung’s One UI 8 must bring Android 16’s Advanced Protection features. Google is reportedly developing new Advanced Protection features that could debut in Android 16, which we want to arrive on Galaxy phones with One UI 8 update.
One UI 7 is based on Android 15, scheduled to enter Beta this year and Public early next year. Galaxy phones will get Android 16 update with One UI 8 update – only if Samsung keeps stuck to its current version strategy.
Google is working to develop Advanced Protection integration for Android 16. The program includes new settings and a new API that’ll allow apps to change their behavior depending on whether users have Advanced Protection enabled.
Android could add Samsung’s Auto Blocker-like features. The feature restricts apps to be installed on Galaxy phones from unauthorized sources. However, you can still sideload APKs by disabling the Auto Blocker from Privacy settings.
Android 16 could allow you to enroll in Advanced Protection through Settings. Once enrolled, you will have to keep your Google Account signed in, and the OS will not allow you to install apps from sources other than Play Store and Galaxy Store.
Mishaal discovered a new patch in the AOSP Gerrit, which refers to a “new Service for Android Advanced Protection Mode.” It will allow apps to see whether Advanced Protection is enabled on-device, and to adjust their behavior accordingly.
A comment on the patch from a Google engineer clarified that the service in question “allows users to enroll into ‘advanced protection’ via Settings, and for apps to check if the user is enrolled” using a new API.
When enabled, Android 16 could require additional authentication if you try to access certain content, like protected files or banking details. Details are unknown, but we expect to see the Advanced Protection added in the Android 16 version.

Samsung SmartThings gets a boost with Home Insight feature
Samsung has unveiled a new feature for its SmartThings platform called Home Insight at SDC24. This feature makes smart home management easier and more efficient by using artificial intelligence (AI).
Jaeyeon Jung, the Executive Vice President of SmartThings, explained that Home Insight is designed to understand how people live in their homes. It provides helpful home reports and personalized recommendations based on how you use your devices, your preferences, and even the time of year.
Samsung Home Insight makes it easier for people to manage their smart homes. For example, if you often forget to turn off the lights during the day, Home Insight can remind you to do so.
To make these features easy to access, Samsung introduced the Home Insight Widget, which will be available on the new Galaxy Tab S10. This means users can turn their tablets into a controller for managing various smart devices, all from one app.
It is expected that Samsung will soon expand the SmartThings Home Insight feature through a new update. Currently, you can access this feature in the Galaxy Tab S10 series.
Last month, Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S10 series. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra features a massive 14.6-inch panel, while the Tab S10 Plus sports a 12.4-inch screen. Both models have premium Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays and offer a vibrant yet natural viewing experience.
