Not sure if this is an error or a genuine $200 off. Really good phone at $497.

This phone is exactly 1 year older than the A54. For the sake of having an extra year of OS and security updates I would pay a litttle more and get the newest model.
The newer A54 goes for $547 on Bing Lee eBay (code PLUSAUGSNS) right now but it has often sold as little as $451 before.

or $549 @ Officeworks if you don't have eBay Plus
Amazon has also price matched Officeworks.
Was just about to edit my comment to add Amazon haha.
Save up for a54, much faster processor
I have the A53. Solid phone. Battery can last 2 days with my regular use. Lots of browsing, no games. Having a slower processor helps with this.
But yes, I too would suggest going for a newer model just for added year of Android upgrades and security updates.
I paid $531.05 on Wednesday for the A54 from officeworks, price matched Amazon who were $559, looks like they dropped their price by $10.
I just got the a54 for $487 eBay afterpay (+shopback bonus). At first I wasn't sure but since delving deeper into the Samsung feature I'm pretty stoked. Routines is awesome.
Though the recent 6a deal from the Google store is pretty legit too. I don't know what would be better option.
Can't comment on a53 but surely a54 is the better buy when you consider the minimal price difference.
Try Bixby text call. It's not 100% accurate, but it's enough to weed out scam calls.
Definitely worth paying a little more for the A54: https://nanoreview.net/en/phone-compare/samsung-galaxy-a54-5…
Having said that, Exynos is rubbish compared to Tensor.
The Pixel 6a is insane value for $399 at the moment.Is pixel 6a better value? Lost my pixel 7 pro on a plan otherday looking for new cheap phone to replace for now as broke. I can get the pixel 6a for $339 with student discount code too
Pixel 6a has faster processor but weaker battery. It has the best bang for buck though if not invested in Samsung ecosystem.
invested in Samsung ecosystem
What ecosystem? Samsung phones use Android - it is the ANDROID / Google ecosystem?
It's not like Apple which uses the exclusive Apple ecosystem.
@smartProverble: Samsung watches and earbuds for example has exclusive features (such as blood pressure monitoring and art-fib detection) which only work with Samsung phones.
There's also a lot of Samsung apps features that you might be too used to to move to a non Samsung ( e.g Samsung routines, Samsung notes, gallery, One UI). In general you'd probably only miss these if you've been using Samsung for a while.
The newer A54 is often cheaper.
