    I have the A53, and it's great. Sure, the top of the line flagship is a better phone, but at over twice the price, it was a no-brainer for me. The tiny bit of lag is meaningless in the larger picture. For the money I spent, I got a great phone, with an awesome display, a massive battery and years of updates.
    Maybe I'm strange, but I don't need the latest and greatest of anything to be happy. All I care about is that it works, and has the features I need. That's why I'm satisfied with my 20 year old car, instead of having to have a new one. That's why I'm perfectly content with the A53. It looks good, works great, games well, and I love it.

    I was heavily considering the S22+ to get the larger battery (still smaller than the A53) and larger display, but in the end, being 50% cheaper and having an SD card sealed the deal for me. My only concern is that the lag that always comes to an Android at some point will come much more quickly to the A53 and I will end up having to upgrade more quickly. I had the S7 for 6 years and it was so slow I could barely use it. I don't want to get back to that for a while. I'm still considering switching to the S22+ with 256GB, but that price difference is just too significant. Great video. Thanks.

      I would highly suggest upgrading to the S22+ while you have the chance. A53 in particular is a laggy device compared to its competition, especially comparing it with the s22 series. Sure, the price jump is steep but you'll thank yourself on the long run

      I've used the A52S for 6 months and now upgraded to S22+ (ultra was too big for me). While I can say the the A52S did all things right (except for the camera), the S22+ is doing everything much better but also provides the pleasure of using the device (camera included). The A52S stayed in the family (that's why I actually upgraded) but I think on the long run, the S22+ is the right choice. If you switch devices under a year or so..then stick to what you have.

    • @rokko_hates_japan
      @rokko_hates_japan Před rokem +21

      you don't have to upgrade to combat lag. one thing is people always want the latest update to the OS for some reason, but Apple was actually caught purposefully making new versions of the OS slow down older models of iphone to get people to upgrade. I wouldn't be surprised if android does the same (whether purposefully or simply due to OS bloat)
      So, keep your phone on the OS version it shipped with (do the security update if available) and then every year or so back up your files and factory reset the device. you won't deal with lag this way.

But I hear ya, you could have a smaller screen and keep the home button. My first phone without the home button was the LG V20, and I thought it would take me forever to adjust to the absence of the home button lol. But it ended up being a lot easier than I thought. That was my experience, anyway.

    Very helpful review for me. I'm still surviving (barely) with a S5 Active and am leaning towards an A53. I suspect this will be a major upgrade for me (lol). A couple other positives to note with the A53. Even though it is slightly longer than my S5 its actually slightly slimmer which is a good thing. My wife will be doing a similar upgrade and will like the narrower profile. Just to show how I'm somewhat stuck on the older features, I like that the A53 still has a micro sd card up to 1TB! Works great for someone who listens to a lot of music and not on Wi-Fi all the time. Sadly, the 3.5mm jack is also gone on the A53. I'll just have to deal with it. Moving to USB-C is fine. I don't see that as a disadvantage so I'm not totally stuck in the "old".

    Many, many thanks for this brilliant unbiased review. I was originally going to go for the S22 Plus as I have always spent theextra on flagship phones but in the end I decided to go for the A53 and I am really glad I did because I love it. I am more than happy with the performance, lovely display and I am very pleased with the camera(s) yes the main camera does boost colours but I always used to do that in post processing on my previous phone so that is not an issue. I find that even though the A53 does not have optical zoom, the digital zoom is EXCELLENT even up to 4x and the detail captured is very impressive. I have not tried the ultrawide so can't comment on that but I think the macro lens is fabulous on the A53 offering tons of detail with only the night mode letting it down; the results are poor in my opinion. Selfies however are great. Do I regret not spending the extra on the S22 Plus? Hell no. I am more that happy with the performance of the A53, It's saving me loads of money and does a sterling job!!

    I got the S22+ as I was under the impression the A53 does not have wireless charging? It's happened twice the my charging port has been faulty on 2 different phones, and wireless charging saved the day, as both times the phone had to be sent away to be fixed, with a turnaround time of about a month - the joys of living in a small town! I have an A30s as my backup phone now, and I won't lie, the S22 does give me battery anxiety - especially as we are having rolling blackouts 3 times a day in South Africa. Even though my poor backup phone is almost completely full of photos and videos that I haven't sorted yet, and is now painfully slow, the battery lasts 2 days. I must say that the port problem was only on the flagship phones, a Note 5 and a note 9. And a screen replacement for both too. The A30s hasn't given a moments trouble,;)

    I honestly think that Samsung is selling their products for way too high of a price, I got my a50 for 250 bucks, where when it was launched the phone costed around 350 bucks. But the A52s had a launch price of 550€ and the A53 of 500. And despite the fact that tech gets better after time you get less in the box than before. I can live without the charger because I've still got the a50's brick in the box untouched, but what reason did they have to remove the 3.5mm jack??
