SAVE $75: As of March 20, the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G is on sale for $374.99 at Amazon during the Big Spring Sale. That's a savings of 17%.

During the Big Spring Sale at Amazon, unlocked phones are having a moment.

If you're a budget buyer looking to upgrade your device, but don't want to wait until Prime Day to make your move, now's a great time to act.

Case in point: the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G is down to just $374.99 as of March 20, the first day of the official spring sale. Usually $449.99, that's a savings of $75 or 17% off Samsung's mid-range phone. While it's not the lowest price we've ever seen — that would be $325, which it dropped to on Black Friday in 2023 — it's still a helluva good price for a brand-new phone. The phone also comes unlocked, so you can choose your own carrier.

If you're new to the Android universe, Samsung has both the Galaxy S and Galaxy A series of phones. The S series is the more advanced, high-performance range with all the bells and whistles, while the A series is typically more affordable and simplified. The Galaxy A54 is essentially the budget-friendly version of the S23.

The A54 packs a 6.4-inch (slightly larger than the S23's) Super AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+, an Exynos 1380 processor, multilayered Knox Security, and expandable storage.

It takes vivid photos with its 50MP main camera and can also snap macro shots and wide-angle shots with additional cameras.

It also comes in fun colors, but currently just the violet and black are left in stock at the sale price. It's not nearly as powerful performance-wise as the S23, but it's more than enough for your daily needs. And given that the S23 is nearly double the cost, the A54 is certainly worth a second look if you're in the market for a new Android phone.
