Buy A53 (and get FREE Galaxy Buds Live!): shop-links.co/cgYUwvyCK4R
So it’s been 53 hours or a little over 2 days since I first got my hands on the Samsung’s Galaxy A53 5G, one of Samsung’s latest midrange smartphones which packs a lot of features for a more reasonable price. In this video I want to talk to you about the new experiences I’ve had with the A53 after a couple days of personal use and share some insight on whether or not the A53 could be the next phone for you or a loved one. Let’s get started! Thanks for watching my mini review!

Honestly just disappointed with this phone no significant change from the a52s besides slightly more battery and no headphone jack ffs samsung, bad enough the headphone jack and expandable storage are gone from your flagships but now you're getting rid of the headphone jack of mid rangers, hope to God this is a one of thing or else I'll have to hold onto my a52s for as long as possible.

Got my A53 5g at USD 340 in Malaysia yesterday. Comes with 8gb Ram and 256GB storage. Absolutely superb phone. Also bought an A33 5g at USD 260.

[@PeterHughes]

Great review of a great phone! I bought the A53 5G just over 2 months ago here in the UK. I'm gobsmacked by how amazing my experience with the "mid-ranger" is! I've always had the top of the range Samsung phones, but the A53 is great. Battery life incredible, like you've mentioned, display and camera is superb. Plus the phone feels great in the hand. I don't even rock a case on it as it feels quite grippy with the more flatter sides. I'd recommend this handset to anyone and would make a great gift for someone, if they're in need of a new phone.

[@doctorizvan2096]

I just ordered mine for collection my own phone I've had a long time. I'm looking forward to it. What's the camera like ?

[@PeterHughes]

@@doctorizvan2096 I've taken some great pictures with my A53. Especially closeups of flowers and insects. Also landscapes shots are great too. I use a few of them as wallpaper backgrounds on my Book Pro 360. You can get some great zoom shots too but a steady hand or tripod might be needed. I haven't tested night photography yet but I don't expect amazing results for that. I should point out that my device is quick to find focus.

[@PeterHughes]

@J L It's still superb 👌🏼 I do recommend that people download apps they use on a regular basis only. So many people have loads of apps installed that they never use. I don't have Facebook or Twitter installed so can't vouch on how it would cope with them. I know they are data, battery and system resources hungry apps. I've enabled Developer Options in the phone settings and I've reduced animator duration scale and the others to .5X and A53 5G is excellent. Battery life still great giving me 2.5 days on one charge with SOT of 3.5hrs per day. I also use the A53 for casting downloaded KZbin videos (Premium customer) to my Samsung TV and it works a treat. Also using the phone daily as a mobile hotspot for my laptop. I've even dropped the phone on to a concrete floor from waist height and I've only a very miniscule mark close to the camera bump. It's great having a plastic back again although the front is glass so I was lucky perhaps. I really can't fault the phone.

Would recommend this phone but would not pay any more than what I paid for it.

Hey Shane, you are one of my go to channels for smartphone reviews as you always do an excellent job. I am currently torn over a decision over two phones. I love the Galaxy S22 lineup, and I especially love a compact phone coming from the Galaxy S9. At the same time do not want to be overly concerned about battery life. Because of this, I am heavily considering the bigger S22 plus instead of the regular S22, but am still heavily reluctant due to the much bigger footprint. Do you personally think the battery life of the regular Galaxy S22 is something to worry about or has it improved at all over time with your testing?

[@noahlou05]

Hi there am using an LG stylus from yesteryears it's trash in everyways and 8GB of storage so I only can have youtoube but If I could have some I'd buy the s21 Fe but definitely think u can't go wrong with the S22

[@Xeoar]

The "much" bigger footprint should not be something to worry about. There are tens of millions of phones sold every day, one single phone is not going to affect anything in the grand view of things. If you have an extra couple hundred dollars lying around I would recommend the s22 ultra but defenitely get the s22 plus it is worth it.

thanks for the great review. I'm tired of my pixel 6...I'm thinking of buying this device. Thoughts?

[@gwanhunson7729]

My suggestion is that if you are looking for just the best phone out there, I would say that the galaxy s22 series or the iPhone 13 are good ones. But if you need to save some money, I think this one would be a pretty good choice. It doesn't come with a charger or headphone jack so I got a little disappointed when I first saw the video. But if a charger and a headphone jack is a necessity for you then I think the earlier a52 might be ok as well. It has a headphone jack and a charger so that is pretty good. But the new a53 is definitely more premium and more new.

[@obidean3964]

Hmm I think you're looking at wrong phone 😅 since this is a midranger. So many things have been compromised compared to your flagship tier, Pixel 6 Like the above guy said, S22 is more like it, direct rival to your Pixel 6 👍🏼

[@AaronHalpin]

All depends on what you use it for. I went from Pixel 5 > Pixel 6 > A53 and have been perfectly happy. The fingerprint sensor is miles better than the Pixel 6, and battery life is not even in the same league. I use my phone for both work and personal use. I never play games on my phone so any "dropped frames" from the "weak processor" is completely irrelevant to me. I would guess that 60-65% of my device usage is communication (Email, Text, Whatsapp, Teams) while the rest is made up of Google Maps, Spotify, and some very lite social media browsing. I actually have the phone turned down to 60hz as well...because I do not need to read an email in 120hz. I unplug my phone at 6:30am and plug it back in at bedtime around 10:30pm and its still usually around 60% battery left. I was usually having to charge my Pixel 6 on the drive home just to make it last until bedtime.

[@andyH_England]

In the UK the S21FE can be had for £50 more and I think that would be a wise investment. Compared to similar spec devices the A53 is def £100 more than it should be so best wait for a discount and then maybe buy if you are a Samsung fan. ATM the S21FE is simply a much better deal and very hard for me to recommend the A53.

[@ipodgooroo]

I've just ordered an S21 FE instead of this. It worked out about £95 more (£299 Vs £394, both with discount and trade in) Hoping it is decent! If the battery ends up being poor on the S21 FE, I may well send it back and wait for the A53 to hover around the £250 mark on eBay (they usually do within a month or so)

[@reurez7942]

After being very satisfied with it for what I use it for it being an upgrade over my A20, I'm tossing the idea around to just get an A53 next instead of the S22 series.

Where is the unboxing video of this A53? I feel like you should do an unboxing and first impressions video first and then after 53 hours later video in my opinion

[@ShaneSymonds]

Fair enough. I actually began filming an unboxing video but then decided to make a 53 hours later video because if I feel like there isn't enough content to put into multiple videos, I'll just make 1 and that was the case with this phone. I'd rather not stretch out/"milk" content as some people will. I always want to have information dense videos and quite honestly, the A53 is very similar to last years A52 with just a few changes like battery, no headphone jack, and different processor that pretty much falls in line with the A52's. I understand the usual progression of tech videos (unboxing/short-term follow up/review/long-term review), but depending on the product I will do only 1 or some combo of a few of the above. Hope that makes sense!

[@MattRobloxYT1]

I think that this phone is good.

[@kevinhansen2499]

In Norway the A52s is priced at roughly $465 dollars, meanwhile the 6/128 A53 is priced at a discount for $415. The 8/256 one is listed at the same price as the A52s. Didn't really review anything before ordering as I currently have an Iphone 6s. So it's an upgrade in every regard. But the amount of hate the A53 is getting is making me slightly nervous that I made a bad choice. Any thoughts? I could return the A53 when I get it and pay $50 more for either the 8gb ram version or the A52s. I'm looking for longevity and mild use (KZbin, Insta, Snap, Photos etc. Don't really play any games on my phone.)

[@nrich5127]

My cell service provider was able to tweak my contract so I pay $15 a month more for 24 months - no cash outlay. The screen is noticeably better than my S7 and I was long due to upgrade my phone. I picked up a 25W fast charger for $19 on Amazon and a case/screen protector for $15 and I'm one happy camper. Using Smart Switch ( after installing on both phones ) I was able to transfer all data from my old phone. For your average user , this cell will meet or exceed all your needs.

Exactly there selling it like it's an upgrade only the battery has a upgrade, everything else the a52s is superior

[@davidjohntough9115]

The Exynos is grossly inferior in use and benchmarks to the SD778 of the A52s. I owned a A53.

[@joel_subash]

But A52s lacks 2 year update , voice focus , video call effects, fun mode and many other important features. And at this point A52s has only 1 update left. So A53 is a better option

[@darksplat8605]

Ok A53 isn't really good but to me aleast it a working phone and yes the gameplay is a glichy but im not using the phone to play game all the time i just use it to watched videos im still im going to buy it because atleast is better then the one I have now

[@reonpetersen5949]

Looks like I'll buy this one this year🤷‍♂️

[@ShaneSymonds]

It's a good option for sure

Better to buy a52s, at cheaper price offers charger in the box, better performance and headphone Jack, battery is pretty good for 2 days and you will still use midrange phone around max 3 yrs and in this scenario you will use it less cus weak performance if they don't fix it with updates.

[@JoviBootlegs90]

It's not a discount. They left out the charger!

Just got this phone after being unable to unlock my Note 8. I didn't realize how outdated the Note 8 was lol

I saw it at our electronics store. What a beefy phone

[@huntedhunter5597]

I stopped following phones just get the fairly new galaxy S this year my S9 is 5 i think and ive had it 3yrs i wanted the s10 red since it dropped, but was set to leave samsung whwn i saw the S21 and S22 not paying that and the colours look junk. But just when i was ready to get an oppo, xiami or one+ i found the s20 red FE so got that. I cant believe the a53 whatever is the same price used tho thats put a damper on the purchase. But i know s20 FE is alittle better but i had A series as for you kid. Good to buy your child not you so im feeling weird about this being the same price used now. I got a pricey used s20 FE too because the ebay seller was 3000 stars 100% and the phone barly used so i dont mind paying alittle more but the A shoulnt be even near the s20 FE price. I think ill update my kids to xiami or one+ and then i can see them and see.

[@FritzPinguin]

Looks like a great phone, but it has no wireless charging. This is - sorry - a no-go for me. Otherwise, nice piece.

[@metinsar546]

Which one is a52s or a53? Some says a52s has a bad battery life. Thanks

I have A52s right now and I am satisfied from it and I think A53 is as good as A52s

[@markoroncevic]

A52s is better except more software updates and slight battery life... And cheaper if you can find it on markets new

huh, so not even the midrange is save from the lack of heaphone jacks. seriously, not having it is the feature here

It could be a better option without the Exynos as the a52s is still better than this one. Even the cheaper a33 comes with the same exynos processor so looking at the price anyone will go for the a33.
