Back Samsung appear its abutting midrange Galaxy A Alternation phone, the Galaxy A54 5G, I was aflame to see it. Not alone does the buzz resemble the flagship Galaxy S23 alternation after the flagship prices, but the specs themselves seemed actually admirable too. Though it’s not the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, the Exynos 1380 processor is actually fast and snappy, additional you get a 50MP capital shooter, a 5,000mAh battery, and more. And you accept some alarming blush choices to aces from … as continued as you’re not in the U.S., apparently.
One of the best agitative things about the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G for me are the colors. It comes in Alarming Violet or Alarming Adhesive Green, forth with basal atramentous and white colors. Both Alarming shades are vibrant, fun, and attending amazing. But don’t get too aflame — your options are bound in the U.S.
When I saw my colleague Andy Boxal get an Alarming Adhesive Blooming Galaxy A54 assemblage for his review, I was hopeful for the analysis assemblage of the buzz actuality beatific to me. My fingers were beyond for the Alarming Violet adumbration because that one is beauteous (and honestly, what the amethyst iphone 14 should accept been like).
But back I got my phone, I opened up the box to analysis the blush and, well, I was anon disappointed. I got the “Awesome Graphite” color, which is aloof addition arid aphotic gray/black adumbration like every added phone. Nothing appropriate or “awesome” about it. Then I abstruse that Samsung only offers the Galaxy A54 in black/graphite back you get it from any of the three above carriers in the U.S. — including AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
If you acquirement the Galaxy A54 5G anon from Samsung website in the U.S,it’s hardly better, as you accept a whopping two options to aces from: Alarming Graphite or Alarming Violet. But if you appetite the adhesive blooming or alike the white — well, you’re out of luck.
It’s annoying back a aggregation shows off some amazing blush options for its phones, but your choices are bound because of area you live.
Though Apple doesn’t consistently get its blush offerings right, at atomic it offers all colors everywhere it sells iPhones. Of course, that’s apparently because Apple has abounding ascendancy over the action and alone releases new phones already a year (with the casual midcycle brace featuring a new color).
Samsung, on the added hand, articles assorted buzz models anniversary year. So the bound blush availability may be due to the accumulation chain, or maybe it’s aloof added cost-effective for the aggregation to alone accept assertive colors in abate markets. Whatever the acumen may be, it apparently makes faculty from a business perspective. But still sucks for the consumer.
I’ve been an iphone user back the aboriginal iPhone, and I’ve had every bearing of iPhone since. Back Apple offers a new color, I usually go with it because atramentous and white are aloof arid — I like accepting article unique.
But as I abide testing out Android phones, I’m falling in adulation with all of these active blush options from Samsung, OnePlus, Huawei, and more. And it’s not aloof the Samsung Galaxy A54’s Alarming Violet and Adhesive Blooming colors either. Accept you apparent that amazing Burgundy red blush that the galaxy S9 came in, which was alone accessible in Korea and China? Or the Jupiter Rock One additional 11 that was additionally accessible alone in China?
What about the incredible Huawei P30 Pro that came in the actually beauteous “Amber Sunrise” and “Breathing Crystal” colors? I will consistently acknowledgment the P30 Pro because those are some of the best colors on any smartphone I accept anytime seen, and this was a buzz that was never accessible in North America. Can you brainstorm if there was a buzz that did appear in admirable brownish gradients like that in the U.S.? I’d be all over that.
My point is that anybody deserves to accept bright phones if they appetite to. Anybody accepting atramentous or white phones is actually boring, and colors advice accomplish a statement. It’s appealing alarming to see all of these amazing colors accessible in added countries, but you’re clumsy to calmly acquirement one aloof because of area you live.
This botheration is not as bad as it was a few years ago with Android phones, but it still exists. Maybe one day we can aloof get a buzz in whatever alarming colors we appetite after accepting to go through loopholes.
