Tipster leaks full specs of Samsung Galaxy A54 months ahead of launch
Samsung Galaxy A54 5G smartphone is been in rumors for so long. We got a lot of details regarding the device in these months and now a tipster has leaked the complete specs of the Samsung Galaxy A54 smartphone.
According to the information by tipster @heyitsyogesh, the upcoming mid-range Galaxy phone should sport a 6.4-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display that features a 120Hz refresh rate.
The device could be powered by an unreleased Exynos 1380 SoC, which is expected to bring at least two ARM Cortex-A series high-performance CPU cores and the Mali-series GPU for faster performance. And, the storage options could include 6GB/8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of internal storage.
For photography, it is said to equip a triple rear camera setup that consists of a 50MP OIS primary camera along with a 12MP ultrawide sensor and a 5MP macro shooter. Meanwhile, on the front, there could be a 32MP camera.
The information further reveals that the phone will equip a 5,000mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging capacity. It will drive the Android 13 operating system out of the box. The tipster mentions its custom software will be One UI 5.0 but it should be One UI 5.1 which will launch alongside Galaxy S23 next month.
Lastly, the leaked specs of the Samsung Galaxy A54 phone also include IP67 water and dust resistance ratings and an optical in-display fingerprint scanner.
Exynos 2500 cancellation could lead the Galaxy S25 FE to use the same chip as the Galaxy S24 series. Samsung could use the standard Exynos 2400 in next year’s Fan Edition, potentially canceling the MediaTek Dimensity 9400.
Tipster @chunvn8888 claims that Samsung has canceled the Exynos 2500. The company has been facing yield issues with its 3nm foundry. It has tried to improve the yield rate but didn’t succeed in reaching the production threshold level.
Galaxy S24 FE comes with Exynos 2400e, suggesting that the S25 FE could get Exynos 2500e. As the standard variant canceled itself, the “e” variant is almost unlikely. That said, the Galaxy S25 series will ship with Snapdragon 8 Elite globally.
Samsung has recently released the Galaxy S24 FE. The phone packs the Exynos 2400e, which is a slightly underclocked variant of the Exynos 2400. As the device’s launch is nearly a year away, things may change as the story progresses.
This year’s Fan Edition brought key upgrades such as a larger and brighter display, a bigger battery, and the latest processor. Next year’s FE will not come with the newest chip as 3nm Snapdragon is quite expensive and Exynos 2500 is canceled.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Release Date
Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 series in January 2025. The company will only drop confirmation about two weeks before Unpacked. The January release window aligns with this year’s Galaxy S launch timeframe.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra could debut a significantly refined design, consisting of slightly rounded corners, thin symmetrical bezels, and a flat frame. The display and camera aspects would not get any notable upgrades.

Whether it’s a smartphone, smartwatch, earbuds, tablet, laptop, or AI, Galaxy has become a recognized brand to denote Samsung products. Usually, I don’t use Samsung while looking at and identifying any Galaxy product.
Well, a new report indicates that Samsung is considering a brand-new identity for its flagship products beyond Galaxy. That said, your future Samsung flagship could ditch “Galaxy” branding for something new.
Currently, Galaxy branding is attached to every Samsung mobile product. Be it a budget phone or a high-end flagship, it’s called a Galaxy device. Korea’s EDaily reports that we could see some branding shakeup in the coming years.
Samsung has a more diversified range of phones compared to Apple and Google. Both Samsung rivals launch limited mobile phones every year. Apple uses SE, while Google uses “a” to differentiate low-end phones from flagships.
There’s Galaxy A, Galaxy C (China), Galaxy M, Galaxy F, Galaxy XCover, Galaxy Tab (A/S/FE), Galaxy S, and Galaxy Z. As Galaxy has already gained a reputation in the market, a new branding is under consideration for select flagship models.
Meanwhile, it won’t be a smooth decision for Samsung to ditch Galaxy. Consumers use Galaxy rather than Samsung for their smartphones. Official naming could change the direction but a pre-planned deployment is necessary.
It is also possible that the flagships may remain Galaxy and other models may get a new branding. If new branding comes to flagship models, it must be a heavier name than Galaxy, which is the biggest in practice.
What do you think, will Samsung ditch Galaxy branding?
Samsung is set to expand its rugged device lineup with the upcoming Galaxy XCover 8 Pro and a new Tab Active tablet. The XCover series has been known for its durability since 2011.
The Galaxy XCover 7 is the latest model in this series, launched earlier this year following the XCover 6 Pro. Based on the release schedule of previous models, we can expect the XCover 8 Pro to arrive around mid-2025.
A new report via GalaxyClub reveals that Samsung is currently testing a device (Galaxy XCover 8 Pro) with the model number SM-G766B, which matches the pattern of earlier XCover Pro models.
The Xcover 6 Pro was labeled with model number SM-G736B and the Xcover 7 is SM-G556B. It indicates that the Xcover 8 Pro is likely being developed for a release after the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy A56.
In addition to the XCover 8 Pro phone, Samsung is also working on a new rugged tablet, likely named the Galaxy Tab Active 5 Pro or possibly the Tab Active 6 Pro.
Earlier in 2024, the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro was released alongside the XCover 7. It suggests that the Tab Active Pro will follow a similar release pattern and will launch alongside the XCover 8 Pro.
Currently, we don’t have specific details about the features and specs of these devices. As we move closer to 2025, we can expect more information about both the XCover 8 Pro and the new Tab Active.
