Samsung Galaxy A54 is one of the best mid-range mobile phones. Plus, it can be found at a really attractive price, especially now that the Galaxy A55 has been unveiled.

Vivo V30 Lite vs Samsung Galaxy A54: Specifications and Features

Vivo V30 Lite vs Samsung Galaxy A54: screen and design

Vivo V30 Lite is definitely a beautiful cell phone. We’ve said countless times that we love the design of the Samsung Galaxy, but we think the Vivo V30 Lite, with its glass and plastic body and the way the camera module is integrated, makes it quite attractive.

On the other hand, we noticed that the bezels are a little thinner than the Galaxy A54, which eventually becomes a problem when compared to other models. As for screen resolution, in reality the differences are minimal, if not noticeable. However, it should be noted that the Vivo V30 Lite has a slightly brighter screen.

Perhaps the point about the Vivo V30 Lite that makes us doubtful is that we find no information about what type of protection it includes. And although each model comes with a plastic protector, since we don’t have information about the type of screen protection, we recommend putting a screen protector on it.

Vivo V30 Lite vs Samsung Galaxy A54: who has the better camera?

The big selling point of the Vivo V30 Lite is its 50MP selfie camera, which specializes in group photos. Without a doubt, if the decision to choose between Vivo V30 Lite or Galaxy A54 is based on who has the largest field of view selfie camera, go for the Vivo V30 Lite.

However, even though the Vivo V30 Lite’s selfie camera is its biggest highlight, there are some aspects in which it is inferior to the Galaxy A54’s camera. Notably, you won’t be able to record 4K videos, but on the Galaxy A54 you will be able to record 4K clips at 30fps.

Yes, it is true that you will get better pictures if you go with the front camera of the Vivo V30 Lite, but we think that for the main reason it falls short of the requirements, limiting video recording to 1080p resolution at 30fps.

As for the rear cameras, the results will be very similar on both smartphones. Similarly, the Vivo V30 Lite’s selling point is the inclusion of Aura lighting, which allows you to change the lighting temperature.

Vivo V30 Lite vs Samsung Galaxy A54: performance and battery

We’ve reached the section where you’ll probably notice the biggest difference between the Vivo V30 Lite and the Samsung Galaxy A54: the processor. And the Exynos 1380 definitely has better performance than the Snapdragon 695 5G. And while you may not notice any noticeable differences during “normal” use, say sending WhatsApp messages, checking email or social media, you’ll definitely get better performance in the most popular games if you do so with the Galaxy A54. Additionally, we believe the Galaxy A54’s performance will remain smoother as it receives software updates.

Coming to the battery, although both are very similar in capacity, the Vivo V30 Lite definitely offers much faster charging.

Vivo V30 Lite vs Samsung Galaxy A54: which is better?

If the quality of the selfie camera is a factor in your decision, go for the Vivo V30 Lite. It will simply provide better results, although it has some limitations compared to the Galaxy A54’s selfie camera.

However, we believe that while the Vivo V30 Lite has a very striking design, the Galaxy A54 is a better buy option due to the combination of its features. Plus, it’s hard to find the Vivo V30 Lite for less than P8,999. On the other hand, you can find the Galaxy A54 at a significantly lower price.
