An unreleased Samsung mid-range phone has cropped up in an online performance benchmark. It's the upcoming Galaxy F54 5G, judging by the fact that it has the same model number we saw on a premature support page Samsung launched on its India portal a month ago.
The Galaxy F54 5G rocking model number SM-E546B showed up in the Geekbench 6 online benchmark, the latter of which confirms a few specifications. Firstly, the phone runs Android 13, which shouldn't be a surprise. Secondly, the Galaxy F54 5G is powered by the Exynos 1380 chipset and 8GB of RAM, although 6GB variants could also exist.
The Exynos 1380 was manufactured on a 5nm process. It has four ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores running at 2.4GHz, four ARM Cortex-A55 CPU cores clocked at 2GHz, and a Mali-G68 MP5 (5-core) GPU operating at 950MHz. It's the same chipset that powers the Galaxy A54 5G and Galaxy M54 5G.
An F-branded Galaxy M54 clone for India
All evidence, including a Google Play Console listing, indicates that the Galaxy F54 5G is a rebranded Galaxy M54 5G for India. Usually, F-branded phones get released in India in partnership with Flipkart, and they hit the shelves along with limited-time discounts and attractive offers.
Availability details remain unknown, but since the Galaxy F54 5G should have a lot in common with the M54, it should sports a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, a 108MP primary camera next to an 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro shooter, a 32MP selfie camera, and a 6,000mAh battery with 25W charging. The Galaxy M54 5G has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and chances are that the Galaxy F54 5G will have the same setup.
Samsung will likely release the Galaxy F54 this summer, but it's equally possible that the F54 will suddenly show up online on Flipkart and go on sale before the end of May. We'll keep you posted.
