Pros and Cons

OnePlus Ace

Strengths

The A3's display panel is the same as a realme GT5 Pro, with a high peak brightness of 4,500 nit.
The screen has its highlights, such as full-screen brightness reaching 1,600 nits and manual maximum brightness reaching 800 NITs.
The phone supports LTPo, Gorilla Victus 2, and other eye-protecting features.
OnePlus has kept the same design on five different models, including this one.
The A3's main camera uses the IMX A90 a sensor, commonly used in Oppo family phones like the iON NE 9.
The main camera is a flexiblent performer and can take good photos at both 23mm and 56mm (twice the zoom) without any issues.
The phone has a large 5,500mAh battery with high charging power, making it the king of battery life in its price range.
The A3 supports super resolution and frame interpolation, allowing all games to be played at 1200p and 120Hz.

Weaknesses

The phone still uses the same camera design as previous models, which is not ideal.
The macro camera is poor in image quality and buggy, with a greenish left side and reddish right side of the photo.
The ultra-wide camera is not good, with low clarity and getting worse in low-light conditions.
There's no Wiress charging, IP68, or USB-C 3.0 on this phone, which is surprising given its price point.
The IR emitter is back, but there's a step back in the super large vibration motor, now just a normal linear motor.
The timing feel of the fingerprint recognition is rather ordinary and not as smooth as some other phones.
This phone still uses USB 2.0, which is less common at this price point.
The main camera can be buggy sometimes, especially when using HDR or exposure compensation.

Samsung Galaxy M54

Strengths

The Samsung Galaxy M54 has an excellent screen display with great color accuracy and brightness.
It has a long-lasting battery life that can easily last a day or more with heavy usage.
The camera performance is impressive, especially in good lighting conditions.
The device's gaming capabilities are surprisingly smooth, even with demanding games like Call of Duty.
The phone's overall build quality and design feel premium and sturdy.

Weaknesses

The processor may not be powerful enough to handle very demanding games or applications.
Some users may find the camera performance to be average in low-light conditions.
The device can get a bit warm during intense gaming sessions, although this is not usually a major issue.
The screen display is excellent, but it may not have some advanced features like HDR10+ support.
Battery life is good, but may not be the longest-lasting on the market.

OnePlus Ace

The OnePlus Ace 3 has finally arrived, and it's clear that the brand isn't resting on its laurels in the mid-range segment. With the same processor as its predecessor, but some notable upgrades, this phone promises to deliver a top-notch gaming experience. The camera setup, however, is where things get interesting - or rather, unchanged from previous models. And with rumors of an improved battery life, can the Ace 3 truly live up to its name? Let's dive in and find out!

Samsung Galaxy M54

The Samsung Galaxy M54 is a solid mid-range smartphone that offers a great balance between features and price. The device features a large 6.7-inch AMOLED display, a quad-camera setup with a 108MP primary sensor, and a long-lasting 5000mAh battery. Performance-wise, the phone is powered by a mid-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which while not the most powerful, still manages to handle everyday tasks and gaming with ease. The device runs on Android 13 out of the box and comes with Samsung's One UI 5.1 skin. The camera setup on the M54 is impressive, capturing detailed images and videos in various lighting conditions. However, low-light performance could be improved. The phone also supports 8K video recording and has a dedicated Night mode for better low-light shots. Gaming on the M54 is acceptable, with good fluidity in less demanding titles like Call of Duty and SpongeBob. However, more graphics-intensive games may struggle to maintain high frame rates or experience stability issues. In terms of battery life, the phone easily lasts a day and a half with moderate use, and fast charging support makes it easy to top up quickly when needed. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy M54 is a great option for those looking for a reliable mid-range smartphone with excellent cameras, a large display, and long battery life. While gaming performance may not be the best, it's still a great device that won't break the bank.
