Our verdict

A 6000mAh marathon phone that surprised everyone with four OS upgrades and a 108MP camera.

Pros

  • Four OS upgrades plus five years of security — unusually generous for its 2023 price
  • Huge 6000mAh battery delivers genuine two-day endurance
  • 108MP main camera with OIS is a class above most M phones

Cons

  • Still stuck at slow 25W charging for such a big battery
  • No ultrawide-quality secondary lenses beyond an 8MP and a 2MP macro
Best for: Battery-first buyers who want days between chargesBest for: People who want long software support on a mid-range budgetAvoid if: You need fast charging to refill that big cell quicklyAvoid if: You require official US availability and warranty

Frequently asked questions

How long will the Galaxy M54 5G get updates?

Samsung promises four OS upgrades (through Android 17) and five years of security updates from its March 2023 launch, putting end-of-support around March 2028.

How big is the Galaxy M54 5G battery?

It packs a 6000mAh battery, one of the largest in Samsung's lineup, but it only charges at 25W so a full refill takes a while.

Is the Galaxy M54 5G available in the US?

No, it targets India and select Asian/European markets, so US buyers must import it and may miss local warranty and band coverage.
