Samsung Galaxy A53 5G Real-World Test (Camera Comparison, Battery Test, & Vlog)

I took the Samsung Galaxy A53 upstate to Kingston, NY to see if it's any better than last year's model (also delicious donuts and one of the last lighthouses on the Hudson River still standing). Come watch! 🙏⁠

is that weird that im here for the vlog not the phone lol

[@drew311stylee]

Not weird at all. The vlog sets it apart. So peaceful.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

I mean if people only watched tech videos for products they were going to buy the industry would would be dead

[@harshalashar786]

Most of us are here for that only!

[@WarriorWidower]

Here for the Vlog. Couldn’t care less about the phone, but glad reviews are being done on the more financially accessible devices

[@AuduBuba]

[@Creophagous]

Thanks for showing a comparison in photos and how well it performs during day and night. This is the type of informational video I love, and it is rare to find, beyond blogs I have seen online in the past for other camera's. Thanks.

[@epicmaster833]

One reason i watch your video is 1. You are honest and go around to show how it's like in real life. 2. You tell the history of places you go and make it fun and interesting. 3. You are just simple anyone can understand 🙌✌️❤️

[@undereztmated4726]

Was waiting for one of these videos to pop up again! Love watching them in the morning; They're like a relaxing tour of the city while getting info on the phone I want to buy! My favorite smart phone reviews

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you for watching them regardless of the phone means a lot!

[@thecarloscope]

I really like the fact that you do the test while making a vlog! BRAVOOO

[@ouuuaburger2093]

This is the most Raw, unedited video test I have ever seen on God damn youtube... Thanks.

[@forneverarrow]

I like your videos! Beyond the obvious, the review, are also quite didactic! Keep the good work!

[@kindofanmol]

David I know you probably won't even see this comment but still I wanna let you know that your vlog-style reviews are so calming and soothe my mood every single time I watch them. Great work. 🙌🏽

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you!!

[@LAJohn]

Another BCP….Beautiful Cogen Production… luv the drone footage of the lighthouse. Beautiful location, love the background info/history ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheTigerMothMan]

What a fabulous place, and great drone work David. I agree about the cameras, I much prefer having the X3 telephoto lens on my A72 than the macro and depth sensor. Another plus for the A72 is the bigger screen and headphone jack.

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you so much! And God I hate macro/depth "cameras"

[@johnatanmachadoyt]

This is the funniest and useful review I've seen of a phone. Good work, buddy!

[@KainiusTheGreat]

What a great find! I was looking up camera reviews for the A53 and what do I find? A video in the town I was born, raised, and lived in until 5 years ago! Kingston is a.....complicated town, but the vast majority of it is real pretty to look at. Fun facts about it: There are several pre-Revolutionary War buildings still standing in pristine condition (one being from 1654), it was the first capital of NY, it was burned down in nearly it's entirety by the British in late 1777, under uptown Kingston are miles of bomb shelter tunnels (last I checked there was 1950's era metal signage on at least one building pointing them out as nuclear bomb shelters), and is home to a fantastic brewery named Keegan Ales that makes (imo) the tastiest beer on earth, Mother's Milk....god I miss Mother's Milk...such an incredible stout.

[@TheUnlockr]

Aw thank you for this so cool to hear!

[@sadie513]

Is it just me or the A52 photos look better? Great vlog as always. Time for you so star a travel vlog. 😁

[@robinlatulas]

Thank you for the vlog! Your vlogs truly help us out I have a question I currently have the samsung a51 and I've updated to I believe version 12 and now my camera quality is super low resolution than before how often do you recommend buying a new phone ? Also is it best to just buy a new phone vs the updates.I used to love my phone but the video camera is so different now.Thank you so much again!

[@mikem3614]

I Love How You Mix Tech With Travel Nice Balance

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you!

[@moe_1886]

Was so close to getting this for my Missus. Cameras are good enough and the screen looks really nice. Despite the lag concern, I think she would have been pretty happy with it if we had gone for it. In the end she went for the baby S22. I think she'd had enough of big phones (she had the Note 8), so was happy to downsize. Loved the General Store (I'm biased though, being Aussie! 😋) , and the food your 'unofficial' Sister made, looked delish! Cheers for another wonderful Real-World Test!

[@TheUnlockr]

It's alright to share all those names of the ones you played Warzone with. They would want to be forgotten, but it's the ones you played with. Resource monitoring is interesting, when you want to know how much juice you spaceship still has. If night mode is beautiful you aren't saying anything, just adore it.

[@HarlemVega520]

Yo my man love your vlogs ✌🏽 hey have you ever thought about using mouse 🤣🤣🤣

[@outtokill7]

Nice to see some coverage on the A53. No one (at least in my feed) has even touched it. Its always the higher end devices or lower end devices that have some gimmick. Also lots of iPhones.

NICE VLOG ABOUT PHONE TEST, ABOUT HISTORIC & TRAVEL MORE FuN.. ♥️

[@christinavonsiebenbeurgen]

Good one.

[@kristiandawe85]

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but what I've found with most midrange phone that have 120hz displays experiencing lag, I set the refresh rate to 60hz and the performance seems better, I don't know for sure but I think in the midrange phones I have used the processor isn't powerful enough to run the display at 120hz for certain tasks. I've used the Samsung a53 and moto G stylus 5g 2022, I much prefer the a53, it seems like enough of a phone for most people, I like it much more than any other midrange phone I've used or seen

[@miguelQR]

I loved this analysis, but I got distracted by the coffee ☕, my concentration span was challenged

[@TenziesTech]

I imagine that using the depth sensor is easier on the processor (which is kinda weak on this phone) than using the data from the wide and ultra-wide. The Pixel 6a gets away with it because it has the much more capable Tensor chip. As for the macro, 100% agree, basically useless.

[@josefinagalera9550]

Thanks for the video> I have a question. When I take a picture, the picture comes in black and white (in a strange way). If I take a picture of white paper with the letters on black, the report shows black and white letters. How can I solve this problem? Thank

[@vwmusicplaylist1935]

Damn. Things are expensive in your area. $8 for a bowl of oats and $9 for toast with pesto? 1:35 Enjoyed watching your video though - very well made and informative! I particularly like the tech review aspects mixed in with travel + foodie + lifestyle stuff. Makes for a nice blend.

Would you say the Samsung a53 is a upgrade from the iPhone SE 2? My battery is down to 85% max health so I’m lightly considering a new phone.

Which is better iphone11 or Galaxy a53??

[@FA7ALtheGOD]

I used this device for like two months before I switched back to an older flagship in the s10e.. only thing I truly miss is the 120hz refresh rate.

[@tinkerbell5646]

Why did you switch back

[@Chemy.]

My digital good friend David, I truly enjoy these videos, you should be making more, lol Interesting device but maybe for those markets where the midrange is not that crowned with brands like RealMe, Xiaomi, Motorola, Oppo, ZTE, Nubia and so on. This design Looks like the Vivo or Oppo, some of those which is mainly found on white but, on my experience, Samsung has another bad thing, it's being obsolete after a year, my brother and i used to compare the old good Huawei (not the Googleless) with a higher tier device from Samsung from the same year and specs and Samsung was always getting older faster than other devices, not sure if it is related to a hardware or software fail design, but that's why we both avoided Samsung recently,

[@GSHORTSUK]

PLEASE DO ( NOTHING!! ) NEXT 🤣🤣

[@bricedmello5592]

Please compare Iphone SE 2022 with Samsung S20 FE 5G

[@bunny8527]

[@shehanmello2489]

Faced the same lagging issue when I upgraded from my Poco F1 to the A52 - to the point where I felt like I made a mistake. I think it needs to learn your usage patterns (which never fully happens to a reviewer's unit). Now the Poco feels slow in comparison.

[@TheUnlockr]

Eh I've never had those usage pattern crap actually work and I use phones for a while usually so I wouldn't assume when buying that it'll get that much better. If you're willing to take that risk that a product will get better after you buy it that's up to you!

[@DeanTheDoctor]

Long as it has better speakers, brightness, battery life, and those awesome cameras than the LG G8 and Pixel 3A, then that's all that matters. 😊🌎✨

[@Mike.Tech.]
