Samsung: as yet unannounced midrange Galaxy A54 is better repairable

Samsung says the as-yet-unannounced Galaxy A54 smartphone is more repairable than its predecessor A53 and the current top models in the S23 line. It is still unknown when Samsung will announce the smartphone.

Samsung hasn’t shown off the phone yet, but the French support page is already online and there is one mandatory repair score to find, discovered Galaxy Club. It is higher than that of the A53 and S23. This is due to the higher score for the sub-component ‘ease of disassembly of main components’. This will most likely include the battery and the screen.

Samsung gave the A53 and S23 phones a 4.2 out of 10 points for this, which has now become a 5.8. There is a lower score for the attachment of parts in the smartphone, but it is not clear why that is the case. Samsung is known for gluing its batteries so tightly that they are difficult to get loose to replace when they are worn out. Other manufacturers use less glue for this and also add pull strips to easily remove the glue, something that Samsung has also refused so far.

The Galaxy A54 is the new phone in Samsung’s A5x series, which is one of the most popular models in the Benelux. Specs of the phone were also released on Tuesday. Previously, the renders of the A54 were leaked. According to WinFuture, the phone would cost 500 euros. The repair score indicates how repairable a phone is and has been mandatory for a few years.
