when it comes to decent phone review I always look for your channel's review.
Impressed that they are willing to advise getting last year's model instead of this year's. Shows backbone.
So happy to see phone companies supporting their products for longer. 4 years should really be the new minimum
i could care less if its 6 months of 6 years. as long as the phone looks cool, makes calls, has a long battery, nothing else at all is needed
@@JS96919 average consoomer
@@Ben.N the average consumer has the latest iphone or Samsung. I try to buy phones that have already been out for about a year. Such as the moto g power 2021, which I bought this year
6 months? Awful take
@@Skazzy3YT It doesn't even matter if it's 6 days
I just setup the A53 5G and it's nicer than my glitchy Gakaxy J7. Sound is nice and has a Dolby setting.
Saw the benchmarks and performance for the A53 and I decided to get S21 FE instead since it’s now at a more affordable price and runs Snapdragon 888 in Europe instead of Exynos
Great choice.How much did it cost?
@@juligjoka6124 €570 for 256GB/8GB RAM model
@@ashfury got exynos S21 FE with 256 GB/8GB ram one for 530$
Well 888 or any flagship exinos isn't win win, so yeah but the qcm Soc is still better
Iiinteresting, S21 FE seems to be almost 800€, quite a lot more than A53
Is it true that the Exynos Galaxy A53 5G's front and rear cameras have better colours and dynamic range compared to the older Snapdragon A52s 5G? Or has the A52s had updates to its cameras now? Which ones would you guys choose in terms of general camera quality & performance and video recording?
How are the haptics? Have they been improved or are they the same cheap motors as before
I had experience with A52 which started to lag on the animations alot and it was slower due to the animations in my opinion, that's why i stuck with 53.
It's a really great looking phone, just got mine last week, I'm pretty happy. Coming from the Galaxy S10e (a great little phone, definitely little compared to this new generation), after a week I can say that, for now, it's definitely been running slowly than my previous S-series phone. Bit disappointed in that since the S10e is 3 years old now, but it's not so slow that the phone feels bogged down, just *slightly* more of a delay than before, enough to notice but not enough to irritate (most of the time). It's tough to find the "perfect phone" nowadays: everything comes with compromises. A52 might have the better processor, but it also is paired with a weaker battery life. I might prefer a slight slower UI that can get me an extra 3 or more hours of usage. And the S21 FE seems like a good one that available through carriers still (unlike the A52), but it lacks the SD card that both the A52 and A53 have, which I think is a total ripoff (since these phones rarely go above 256 GB, which just isn't enough space in the long term, much less 128GB). For me, the A53 is a decent middle ground, although if the S21 FE had an SD card, I might have pursued that one instead (especially since my carrier is almost giving it away for free).
You saying 128 GB isn't enough and I'm still here with 32 GB s7 edge. Am I a joke to you ?

@@Modelo646 My LG G6 has 32GB and I'm doing fine XD
My samsung A10 rn has 32gb and I've had it for more 3 years and it's still running good. ;-; I've never tried a phone with THAT much gb, wow.
Wow you might be a little spoiled, I'm here with a 32GB refurbished Samsung galaxy S7. Haven't used all the internal storage and only have an 8GB SD card in 😅
Hope to see A33 review ASAP because I don't think the A53 is worth compare to A33 in my region.
The only things missing in this phone and the a52 are PDAF for the front cam (which is kinda not so good for the price) and good haptics. The haptics are just... meh. Only good for notifications.
It warmed my heart to see photos from Bulgaria!
As an a53 user I would recommend this phone for anyone
there is a new game that came out called COD war, and also I have the A15 but god it sucks. cant even play videos properly. or how I did it in Samsung A51 where I could scroll through frame by frame. the camera Is also BS. i was thinking since you have this phone. is the camera quality good? does it run games smoothly and what about when it comes to gallery? i was thinking this might be the best choice but am not sure
Me tooo
great review, thanks!
the best thing that is good about this phone which tempts to buy is software support. It gets 4 yrs software upgrade and 5 yrs security updates.
yup. checked the a52s video and they said 3 android updates and 4 years of security updates.
good job samsung with making a successor that is worse than the model it replaces
feels like Redmi note 11, A53s will be a chipset upgrade just like Redmi note 11s
how is a53 worse than a52? always base replace base.
@@truthseeker6804 yes but you should compare A53 to A52s because they are the same price
@@rizdog5735 a52s was not released in all countries. always the base a50,a51,a52,a53 are released in all countries. and these are a few bucks difference, i dont get why people are complaining. its not an upgrade from a52s but for a52. and actually no one should be upgrading year to year. so all the complaining is totally unnecessary.
😂😂 I want the A52 it's a better deal tbh
Hi,is this phone any good for taking pictures in direct sunlight.
Thanks for the review!
All is good with A53 worthevery penny but only problem with this handset is the sim slot. Most of the time the sim get stuck inside and we had to visit the service center to get it removed.
happy to see those photos and videos from my city ;)
owner since last month, february 2023. Time i give your channel a try!
really waiting on that A73 review, Really torn between that and Oneplus 9 atm
These issues might just be a software issue and can be optimized with future updates
My only concern is optimizations ........ Low and medium graphics on CODM are too low for the Mali-G68 GPU and i hope the chip gets optimized very soon ..... apart from that the device is very decent and smooth
CODM runs like shit on all phones nowadays though 😩
Bro i play codm on my ipad pro 2020 but i use medium graphics cuz i use ultra fps on the settings it runs better
Thank you
I'm here because I have this phone ordered on the way and wanted to see the phone in action.Thanks for the review the phone looks decent for the cheap price.
Your reviews are well done. 👍
I have a51 now and i think it has everything i need
I have the Samsung A50 and im thinking about upgrading this year to Samsung A53. I love A50 but the cameras are a huge turndown in my opinion. Are the A53 cameras really good comparing to what im used to?
I used to own the a51 for years which last year i upgraded to a52s 5G due to lag and weak battery... the cameras are the same with the a53 to be honest... But if you want better performance for gaming, etc id suggest you to buy the a52s
@@lastixen thanks for your comment 😭
Can someone please tell me if I should go with Samsung a53 or Iphone xs max? I'm debating on what is latest and what is my dream phone here? Please help me😭
GSMArena's review is always fantastic.
I am currently on the market for new phone and have ability to chose between, Xiaomi 11T Pro, Samsung A53 and Redmi note 11 pro plus 5g. I am not a gamer more of media consumer and casual photo snaper. Which would be best to buy.
Will this phone be an upgrade for someone coming from a hauwei p40 lite
Thanks
i got 2 models of the a52s off of the links from gsmarena. just a heads up, one model was from vietnam, it came with a US charger, one model came from india it came with an eu charger. so you still might have to buy a charger if you import
Using It and not regrets, I know for the price I had better options but the blue color and 8gb RAM got me.
Other model had 6gb of Ram
So your phone has 8GB ram right. Does it feel laggy?
I'm gonna buy one too in a month if its on offer. But there's plenty of places and people in comments saying the phone is lagging and having not the greatest performance etc.
What is your opinion on this?
Aside from playing games or using heavy apps, how is the performance on this phone?
Thanks in advance
@@dristang yes, it has some lags that doesn't make sense to me, not using it anymore, switched to S21.
I advise you to test one before buying.
Will, I love your new hair style.
Love it.
A73 plz
And one more thing, y don't u mention the RAM capacity? U should
Please help me decide which one to buy either s20 FE or a73 or a53s? I don't care about the price and other features I just want to know which one is better in camera and gaming. Thanks!
Obviously, go with s20 fe if you get snapdragon version, snapdragon 865 is more powerful than 778g or exynos 1280 for gaming and it also has telephoto lens though you can't take portrait photos with it, ..other advantages are better ip rating, wireless charging and better camera system..
@@sanjognaral1455 yeah that was my main phone with the snapdragon version which was the Chinese version. but it was a very good phone. very recommended
Plz make a review of galaxy a73...
A52s is clearly a better deal but the problem is I really like the improved camera module design on A53 :(
Not to mention newer phones gets more system updates. Samsung is giving its customers hard choices instead of easy ones with no snapdragon and no headphone jack. Would buy the S21 FE over this if able to get the Snapdragon variant.
@@leovrf Yeah, if only Samsung used SD778 on the A53...S21fe is really pricey here almost double the price
@@s3k1m what about the s20fe?
Agree !!! The ugly backdesign on A52s make a hard choice between a53
@@sun.flower_breezy What do you mean? There the exact same design
please review the A73 5G!!
I don't get it you put a larger battery y is the performance about the same as the previous model Is it because the system isn't properly optimized or the processor? we all root for larger batteries but give us the longer lasting time as well, I wouldn't be surprised if I this rate they put a 7,000 mAh battery but it gives the same lasting performance As a 5000
I'm Confused, like how do they measure battery life?
I just wish that they made the a series phones look better. I'm not asking for metal and glass backing, but the camera bump and the weird metal rings around the camera's on the a52 look really cheap. They should put the camera bump right in the corner like the s21u and give it the same type of look. It seems like all samsung phones look different and I think that if samsung tried to make all their phones look similar and made their lower end phones a bit more premium design wise, it would really help them.
Two steps back, key features missing and for some reason galaxy store doesnt let you to update apps via wifi with settings right out of the box
Funny thing is that 90% of the gripes don't matter in reality... 1. Call quality 2. Battery life 3. Data connectivity 4. UI/UX.
To be very honest I still like the camera quality I think it’s really bomb and the phone isn’t all that bad tho
bad or not, it's a letdown since the a52s is better.
@@EatMyBacon000 " why judge a53 when it's supposed to be a predecessor of a52?"
predecessor??
Selfie is poor
Looks good, Sammy has a huge stockpile of these already produced and in storage. if works well, I might get the handset if the price is right, It's already selling for $399- at Walmart here, When it hits 299- I'll get one :)
Shortcut: it's a skip. Get last year's model.
If this has a 64 MP main camera, why are you showing 16 MP pictures? I don't understand.
I bought the A52s 5G last year. The new A53 5G seems like a downgrade.
The A53 is a successor to the A52 5G not the A52s.
Alright so I saw on another video, Bulgarian flags and folk dances, now the photos are of the centre of Sofia as well! It's amazing to see our culture recognised!
I could grab this phone for half price currently, wondering if that would be worth it.
sir auto call recording option have this mobile or not ?
Manage to get a53 256gb internal with 2k pesos discount plus 3000 pesos evoucher or 3000 Mobile legends diamonds . So far it is good for everyday usage!! Superb performance, battery and camera. I did bought a 25watt charger and a type c headset too.
Ma lag ba ang ml jan?
@@s3k1m stuttering issue, unstable ping for ML and WR. Guess moba is not good for this phone. I did compared it with my realme phone at the same time and no lag, stuttering or instable ping issue.
@hello cod and other games work fines! The only problem is with moba games like mobile legends and wildrift! So unstable, ping is jumping from low to high and stuttering issue in certain parts but there are times that ML worked so smooth ,so I think they just need to optimized this phone or the moba games to fully utilized its full potential. Battery life is so good . Main Camera video stabilization is a garbage, it's like the camera is jumping everytime you move. Hope they could fix the camera via update
@hello snapdragon or not, samsung is not really good at gaming. Even the a52s with snapdragon 778 has a problem in Mobile legends. I would prefer xiaomi or realme for gaming regardless if its mediatek or snapdragon.
How good the processor?
Love.
Waiting for Galaxy A73 review.
why did GSM Arena skipped the Galaxy A73? They don't have a review on that one
Will there be a Samsung a53s?
Watching with my A53 5g .am satisfied .when I buy it in samsung store .the freebies is 25 wats charger the best .ii enjoy it with 4 years software update 5 years security update .the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do this phone have the dual messenger function ?
Got it on sale today for 299€, same price as a52s and a33 is 250€. I know a52s has the best spec but was hoping it was cheaper being an older model. Im not into mobile gaming since I have a high-end pc. I bought it to use as a 5G hotspot at home so hopefully it will do well. Prior to that, I have a mi note 10 lite which works fine but doesnt have the 5G.
will the Samsung Galaxy a53 work with mint mobile?
The Best Channel Ever
Got at Samsung boutique after the recent price drop with case, charger and screen protector. Perfect replacement for my parents dying Sony Xperia ZX compact.
Nice✨️
Is this mob good or not? Bcz I decide to buy this...
I'm honestly really disappointed they removed the headphone jack. If I want to upgrade the most I'll get is either the A52s 5G or A72 5G. I still don't really trust Exynos and the removal of charger is a no no for me. Not to mention it's essentially a worse A52s 5G is a big yikes.
Only good exynos is the new 2100. Insrtead of this A53, get a a52 or even better, S20 FE!!! Or OP 8T, Poco F3....
@@ancientslav4863 Don't like the extensive advertising on Xiaomi phones!
@@davidjohntough9115 turn it off. never had anything after 1 year
Will there be a galaxy a73 review?
Why didn't you mention the OIS and only the EIS instead? I mean, A53 as well as A52s do have OIS
So is it better than a s20 plus?
I love samsung brand the battery it last long
I just bought a Samsung A53. In the black panal says it's made in India. It's a original one or replica?
Does it have Dolby atmos?
off Ram Plus, it perform like a champ after, so snappy and quick.
Something for me to think about using to. I have a refurbished Samsung galaxy S7 (cameras are grainy though 😐). Will a Samsung galaxy A53 be like an upgrade??
@@shanepatrick641 a53 will be a huge upgrade
@Breeze cheers man, thanks to guys like you I now have one, a white one with 8GB of ram and 256GB of storage 👍 😀 😁
Battery life is light-years better!
So thanks me from 6 months ago fot buying the A52s 5G
Is handsfree output 32bit
Absolutely a great phone A53 Samsung value for money does want you want it to do I phone have got a lot to learn ….
Very happy with my A53 only would like wireless charging. I'm not a gamer & do photos over video. Does the job perfect for me with longer battery life than S22.
Any lag/stutter?
@@Native722 It depends on what your photographing. It seems scenes that are dark or have moving objects or are hard to focus appear to take longer to capture after pressing shutter.
@@ausmartin1 what about google maps navigation? Does it give problems? Like it doesn’t say where to exit when you’re driving
@@pokemongamer2792 Google maps advises exit, turns on Australian maps perfectly on this phone.
Oh yeah I got this phone yesterday instead of s22ultra,
So sir you didn't make review for the fingerprint !
Great and honest review 👌 thanks 🙂
Is it better than s9+
When I try to forward a text message. it doesn't work on my A53. Suggestions? Also, why does the clock in the center of the display need to be refreshed when you pick up the phone? The clock in the top left corner stays current, but the center clock doesn't. That's weird.
Is the lowest shutter speed you can get is still 10s in the Pro mode
And when u update the phone Is super smooth .even games n camera the best .and the 5000 battery last 2 days .not like a 52s .the bester slow
May i know, battery last 2 days you used 60hz or 120hz refresh rate?
IS it water proof?
May i know a52s will get until what android update and a53 will get until what android update?
a52s up to android 14 (11 + 3), a53 android 16 (12 + 4)
Is it better than a52s
The 4K video and 1080p 60fps video stabilisation has to be fixed ASAP.
I want that phone but I have seen comments from people who are from the Tmobile company that the cell phone does not work well for them. Even when I was about to buy it Online from Samsung it says that 5g networks with Tmobile may not be able to work. Will there be someone from PR or EU or with knowledge that can guide me?
The M52 5G is a good choice if you want a bigger screen with the same Snapdragon 778g as the A52s 5g. It has a 5k MAH battery, 120hz refresh rate, and solid camera despite the absence of the depth sensor. If IP rating and headphone jack are not important to you then the M52 5G is a solid option. It's also cheaper now in the market.
I guess M52 5g also lacks stereo speakers.
@CZcams Sans (s) series are meant to replace the chip shortage aka not enough chips for that phone, thus why a52 not common.
So sad it didn't come with head jacks....
nice
I'm a long term user of Samsung, I've used the S3, and S7, and I have a thing against Exynos chipsets, and I will not use them.
what is better to choose a52 or a53, who holds the charge better and is fast enough. I don’t play any games, I only need instant messengers, social networks and a camera
I would get a53, a52 is more expensive at this point and many places don't sell it anymore.
Well I have an A51 and I don't really know what to say about the exynos- (my phone with exynos is running well after 2 years so) and this is a big update for me so this is my next phone for 100% I think
Same I am currently using a51 and want to upgrade but am torn between a52s and a53. Had no issues with my phone so far it works really well but battery drains a bit faster.
@@lenaxshin I already upgraded my phone to an S21 Fe
@@_cloudy_genshin_5915 How is the performance? I have seen many complaints about the battery so how is it so far? Thanks!
@@lenaxshin It's way better than my old phone but the battery is not that good if you are an intense user
