Samsung Galaxy A54

[kelvinti]

I was curious about the main 50mp camera sensor that A54 uses so did a check online. It seems to be using the Sony IMX766 sensor, which I happened to like based on my previous good experience with the Realme GT Neo 3.

But I guess the sensor quality potential might not be fully maximized due to the mid range SOC, Exynos 1380. Will have to wait till my A54 gets delivered first before I could play around with the cam. I paid $399 for the 128GB local set from a local online store called Mechanic Nation.

Yes. For normal point and shoot be it day or night is super good enough.

Of cause, don't expect the top quality of S series lah likes zoom in and expect S Series zoom in result.

I bought it from Lazada yesterday.

I understand some folks look at the A54 with contempt for its bezel. I guess it's subjective when it comes to the design language

When I saw the actual cellphone upfront at the store yesterday, I was captivated by the design and I didn't even find the bezel ugly or intrusive, ha. I dunno why but to me, I find A54 beautiful so I guess it's really a personal choice and perspective.

I wanted to buy White but was OOS so I settled for the cheerful Lime

The fact is that I'm actually lovubg the thicker side bezel. It reduces accidental side swipe and come on, it is "thin enough" already as far as I'm concerned.

I find that the A54's bezel with the rounded corners aesthetically pleasing as a matter of fact. And bezel does serve a functional purpose like you shared. To me, the thickness is just right visually

Anyone experience issue that the app icon badges do not appear sometimes?

Never since April 2023.

You have got to be more specific. Which apps or all apps?

 

[revenant]

All apps.

I came across the below video for potential solution but I do not see Samsung Experience.

Checked, not there too.
But I see the app icon badges always appear in my set.

I found out the behavior when the badges will "disappear". It is, when I clear the notification at the top.

I was using Huawei P20 before A54 and never had this "issue".

Googled and found that it was removed by Android/Google.

[kelvinti]

I thought that is the normal behavior?

You cleared the notification meaning you clearing the app badge as well?

Apparently, that is not the behavior for Huawei P20.
The badge will only be cleared if you enter the app which I thought is better UX.

Nvm, just got to adapt.

Yes, that's how my set behave

I see. Guess that is OneUI. Just has to adapt to it.

However, you can go into Notification History to see all your cleared and attanded Notifications if needed so.

I use it if I think I had accidentally cleared my Notis or I need to read back my attended notis.

 

[kelvinti]

May be the Notistar module from Good Lock can help to further customize the default OneUI behavior.

Give it a try.
