And lastly theres no Headphone jack in the A53 5G which is a "Midrange phone" unlike the A52s 5G that includes with Charger, case, earphone.
This device, unlike last year, didn't overwhelm me enough to upgrade😐 nothing significantly different, especially tossing the headphone jack... I don't have the money to permanently rely on (great sounding) Bluetooth headsets so I will stick to my 52 for the time being at least. It's good to know that I'll have a few more years out of my device. Awesome video as usual👍
You'll need to get used to it, you will one day. One day the only smartphones that'll have a headphone jack will be very cheap 720P LCD, very cheap phones.
I’ve had an iPhone 7 for many years now and recently 5G has arrived in my town. I would’ve bought a newer iPhone but here in South Africa - Apple phones are far too overpriced. I ended up ordering this phone today and quite excited to use it. Samsung is crushing it in the upcoming economies.
Correction about the A53 being the first A to bid farewell to the headphone jack: Back in 2018, there is a A8s which also ditched the jack, that phone was Samsung's first hole punch as well, and I belive the A60 also ditched it.. eitherway, kinda dumb, no wonder that Buds Live offer 😂
On a broke college student budget, I'm downgrading to this from my S8 plus thanks to a motherboard issue that's just a matter of time before it kicks the bucket, and other previously used apps just refusing to load now. No shame in it, lasted 6 years. 4-3-22 First vid I saw from your channel, nice overview. Was lucky to snag the promo with the free galaxy buds. Love from Pittsburgh PA dude.
@@YOURTECHFRIEND It's not a downgrade at all! Only thing I miss is the wireless charging, but I can still charge my Galaxy Buds Live and TOZO T6'S wireless with the Samsung Duo Charger! Loving this phone, got it connected to my still kicking Gear S3 too! The AR emoji is amazing, made one of my girl Harley Quinn and a few others! Added an SD card as well, and got it synced to the Tab S7 Plus 512GB!
No headphone jack no buy! We all need to fight back this practice, this is Android not iPhone with the restricted features on phones. I went with Samsung midrange for the more options and with SD card slot and headphone jacks and now this. I hope the A73 doesn't have this issue but I believe it will. I'll just hold on to my A71 5G for a while then. I hate this new practice from these big companies and forcing shitty Bluetooth headsets on people that costs a lot. I like wired ones and always will. The old ways of tech was better than the new crap they have and this trend of taking away the jack, card slot and having tons of cameras on the back and ugly hole punch on screen. If only Sony phones weren't that expensive here in the US, I would have got one a long time ago since they're like the only ones not following this new stupid trend with phones and trying to force it on the consumers. 😤
Had this phone came with wireless charging, I wouldve gotten this over the S22. Granted I liked the A-series for its features flagships gave up but I never used the headphones jack or SD slot on my A71 anyways.

Think of this phone this way its not much of an upgrade to the A52 agreed, but its really good for people getting their first samsung ever because of the price tag on the phone and if you do buy this phone then you will have 4 years of updates and 5 years of security updates. So I think this is a really good phone for 1. people who have never used samsung and want to save a bit of money 2. for someone's first phone ever.
This reminds me so much of the way apple releases new phones. They always release new phones with just slight improvements. They dont change much. That works for apple because they have very loyal customer's. I dont think its gonna work out that good for samsung, people expect new and exiting things from samsung.
I currently own a samsung A52S 5g,higher recommend getting it rather than upgrading to A53 or S21 as the specs are pretty similar, A52S 5g is bigger than the S21 and S22 FE,plus you still get a headphone jack and a charging brick
Before accessories that where included in box👇 -Charger With Adapter -Rubber Case -Headphones -Cloth Sticker -U even got some awesome booklet with discount offer depending on company
I have the A52 and will definitely not upgrade for many reasons being the headphone jack and the phone looking/working the same in the sense that they haven't changed much of it. I'll wait for the A54 or I'll go to the FE lineup with the S22 FE when it comes out
@ jonah not to mention the Geek bench single-core performance score was worse than the a52. I prefer to have snapdragon chips in my phones because they are usually more powerful and battery efficient.
This phone is awesome, I am getting it soon. I actually prefer having no case and charging brick, because I never use the transparent cases that come with the phone (they turn yellow). Having 1 unused case just creates extra waste, same goes for the charger. I go for the faster charger, if a slower one is included then that's just waste

When I saw the offer for the A53 with the buds live ...I went and ordered a S20FE and a pair of galaxy buds live ...it was the same price as the A53 offer with buds live...but I got a charger in the box and a SD 865 processor ,an aluminium frame instead of a plastic one 😄...this new phone made me realize...that if I want a Samsung phone better buy the old stocks now before it's too late...new Samsung phones are simply robbery...😄...no accessories, worse processors...but more expensive
This upgrade was a good upgrade for my Galaxy A12. Find that they got rid of the corded earbuds because I have wireless earbuds so that removing the headphone jack wasn't really much of a big deal for me and honestly the difference in quality between my old phone and this phone is actually a great comparison and contrast in quality so I'm so glad I made the upgrade
Man please 🙄. Get a pair of Apple Airpods 2nd generation for only $129 at Best Buy. You will never want wired earbuds again. And yes you can use the Bluetooth Apple Airpods on your Samsung Android Phone 📱! They sound great!

@@seferowastaken okay well here's the thing I don't necessarily care about all the highest specs and as for the storage I don't need any more than 128 GB in fact I don't even need more than 64 GB I could care less about the chipset to be honest so like I said the only thing that bummed me out was no headphone jack and even then I have wireless earbuds so honestly I would not have cared if I gotten the a53 or the a52
just got my Samsung Galaxy A53 5G,it's great I love the performance and features but the battery is draining really quickly even though it's just been a week. Can someone suggest how to solve this problem?
I have the A53 and love it. I have no clue what he is talking about re the plastic back??? It is simply a mat finish plastic back, that's it, but nicely melds into the camera, nice design touch. The speakers are amazing, even better than my S21 Plus. I like this device, as the SD card expandable memory is all important to me. Plus, the S21 Plus I have is a free replacement phone from Samsung for a former device, and cannot justify paying the expensive price tag. I will say that if you get the A53, you will get a year more security updates.
@@judyjones5089 for me personally i don't need expandable storage I'm good with my Pixel 6 128gig but i understand your concern with it if you do a lot of videos/pictures i think getting the a52 is a better option than the a53
This device doesn't have enough upgrades to tempt people to buy it. They took off the headphone jack, the charger and the TPU case. The only upgrade I see is the bigger battery.
This "no charger in the box" and "no headphone jack" fiasco is just getting even more worse. I just wonder why Samsung doesn't give the new users and consumers the choice of having a free charger. And, the "no headphone jack" problem, just for the sake of marketing is disgusting. My goodness! Samsung kept the headphone jack on budget Samsung A-series phones but ditched it on upper mid-range section.

The A53 is not the first A series Galaxy to remove the jack. The A60, A80, A90, and A8s all came without the jack. In fact, the A8s from 2018 was the first Galaxy that didn't have a headphone jack.
I got this device today, because I needed to switch from Verizon to Spectrum(saving about 60% for phone payments if I'm not mistaken). Overall, it's an excellent choice for the next upgraded phone, with me having previously used an LG ThinQ android from Verizon.
@@pizzahawaiiv2492 If you don't already have a USB-C to USB-C wall charger, you need to buy one. Got a nice one from Amazon for $14, but they're as low as $5 and can go way up from there. Any electronics store or eBay will sell them too.

I have the A53 5G and i really like it and I'm very sure you will like it also , the best thing about the phone is the display and 2nd best is the audio because the phone has really nice sounding speakers.
@@shanepatrick641 nope ,you can just swipe down from the top of the screen and access the Dolby Atmos with it's own dedicated toggle button you would have to swipe over to find it though and move it if you want. Dolby Atmos makes wearing headphones or earbuds more entertaining especially when you are watching a video full of explosive action and you have the Bass Boost turned on , for this phone I recommend using Samsungs Wireless earbuds cause you will get the best sound and since Samsung's phones and earbuds are made specifically for each other you will get extra sound controls in the Samsung Wearable app such as noise canceling.
Got my A52s 5G about 3 months ago, and honestly there's nothing I would ask more for this device, the A53 is nice but definitely a downgrade if you're planning to upgrade from A52s
@@Upgrayedddd I'm going to be too busy enjoying my A53 next week to be bothered with your concern for people like me lol. The A53 5G is a fantastic phone, regardless of it's other generations. The ditching of headphone jacks and expandable memory on "flagship" models is just proof that the smartphone industry is going through an "awkward phase". The A53 does have a better battery life than the A52, but otherwise the performance differences are either minor or tilt in the A53's favor, not factoring in gaming (which is not what this device is being marketed for...it's for everyday use, like social media, watching videos, etc).
I really want an upgrade. I have been saving up for a year now to buy an A series phone but I still don't have enough money. I'm $100 short. I just wish I could have an amazing phone like the a52/a53. I'm stuck with my oppo F9
Good review.. Samsung needs to up their game.. I really hope they can live up to their promise updates of 3 to 4 years! Good updates that is.. as the A52s had a bad one..
Can’t say I wouldn’t appreciate a physical fingerprint sensor on the side of device. A53 5G looks decent. Definitely appreciate the bigger battery. But it does suck that Samsung has followed apple in the removal of headphone jack and the charger lol. NOT everything apple does is justified and shouldn’t be mimicked by other smartphone Companies. We as consumers shouldn’t be short-changed by certain companies, just because a popular company does so. I say Samsung should stick with what works best. Imo SD processors are more reliable.
Just got this phone. It is not much of an improvement over the A51 or A52 5G models. You lose the headphone jack and still no wireless charging. Exynos soc feels slower than Snapdragon and the 120hz display I turned off due to erraticness. A good phone otherwise but Samsung would need to bring wireless charging and ultrasonic finger print sensor to A54 hopefully.
I've been using mine for a few days now and don't have any major problems with it. I think the haptic feedback when you type is Weak but it may be a setting I can change because it vibrates for other things good. The other thing I seen was the Visible carrier app took forever to load on 5G but opened instantly when connected to wifi. I later noticed my mom's moto G did the same thing so I think it's a crappie app not the A53's fault. It's working great for all the things I do daily. Works well with BT headphones and Android Auto. Battery usage seems too.
First of all, I'm not a bot.... I have an A42 5G running Android 12. The A42 does NOT have "Always on Display" & Google Assistant will NOT wake the phone when the screen is off/sleeping. (Trust me, I have tried all the so-called "remedies" & settings to no avail.) That drives me crazy! For those reasons (& a few more) I am strongly considering upgrading to the A53 5g. Does the A53 5G have "Always on Display?" Can someone confirm that Google Assistant wakes the phone when the screen is off or sleeping? My thanks for any replies.....
@@threeputt98allen Yes you can wake the Google assistant witn the phone in sleep(screen locked) it will respond and do some things. For some things you need to still unlock your phone. Like if you ask for the weather you will get the current weather. If you ask it to turn a light on/off that may require you to unlock. The a53 does have always one screen. There are some settings to that you can customize. The default is tap to wake.
@@MrMikey1273 Thanks for the quick reply! I have been fussing with those issues daily since I bought the A42. Time to upgrade and stop this consternation..... Cheers!
I would love to see the power break in there I'm kind of but I am a little surprised that they actually remove the headphone jack otherwise it's a good looking phone
Changing the finish on the back of the a series is a definite improvement. That "glastic" stuff was just cheap looking and terrible to try to keep clean
I was wondering. Being new to android ecosystem and therefore not having any android phones would you recommend the a53 or a52 if price is not an issue?
I think Samsung kinda forgot that both the Galaxy A52 5G and thew A52s 5G existed. So if you jump from the Galaxy A52 4G to the Galaxy A53 5G you can surely consider the latter an upgrade overall! 😏
I like my A52, but it's time for an upgrade. I dropped my phone a lot. I would say out of the one year and 3 months owning my A52 phone. The only problem I ever had was when it reached the one year 2 months my battery was dying fast and when I was on the phone I sounded like I'm under the water. Lol
I heard that chipset was supposed to run cooler. Thats weird to hear about over heating. And IMHO fast charging is dumb and ruins your battery I still use the og charge brick non lightening yeah it takes Lil longer but my battery lasts for daysssss yes 5 days. Remove all that bloat also and then see if there is some differences. And it's waterproof
Bought the Samsung Galaxy A53 today. No phone jack plug in which I loved. Associate at Walmart didn't tell me I need a seperate charging unit that accepts the new usb charging cord. Tried calling the 44870 Walmart store for 30 minutes straight and could not get through. This has always been an issue for years at this 44870 store. The phone sucks and Walmarts' customer service sucks! I will return it tomorrow. WALMART SUCKS! I wish I didn't drop my A52 in the ice cream when I fell asleep, ha, ha. I loved it. Once again Walmarts' customer service sucks!
Just tried a Redmi Note 10 Pro and am wildy disappointed. Is the A53 worth the extra over an A52s? Think I need to go back to Samsung for a better experience.
I've bought it few days ago for 500$ and that price is ok, some things aren't the best as i thought it would be, but the phone is good and i'm satisfied with it
You pay more for less that is just stupid. Im looking for a new phone and this was a competitor but now its out. The mi 11 lite or the upcoming x4 pro are both cheeper and comes with all the things this phone doesnt.
I have a question... Is the haptic feedback the same as the a52 phones or is it improved? Because those phones had a very slow and unresponsive haptic motor, felt very cheap.
That is a really good question. I have wondered that myself, and have reported it via Samsung Members Feedback, and asked for at least higher intensity vibration feedback in the next software upgrade. I use TalkBack with my device, and if you leave its sound feedback on, but only at 25 percent, it can offset the lack of feedback in general. It just helps to "confirm" the haptic.

A51 user here. Guess I’ll use mine till the end of support. Just received OneUI 4.1. Hope to see that new Exynos chip to test though
This phone is awesome, I am getting it soon. I actually prefer having no case and charging brick, because I never use the transparent cases that come with the phone (they turn yellow). Having 1 unused case just creates extra waste, same goes for the charger. I go for the faster charger, if a slower one is included then that's just waste
A Galaxy S20 still feels like far more phone for the same price but I have to admit the A line does look more rifined this year
S20 beats a53 ass easy
@@jh5325 except for the major fact that the A53 has a SD card slot and the S20 does not. That is a major factor too many people
@@Pete3Heat correct me if I'm wrong but don't the newer model S20 have memory card slot?
A52s 5G is actually more worth it than the A53 5G in my opinion, hear me out. Well in comparison of price that A53 5G (8GB + 128GB) cost 450 US Dollars compared to A52s 5G (8GB + 256GB) cost 350 US Dollars. Plus the Chipset of A53 5G is Exynos 1280 and for the A52s 5G is Qualcomm SM7325 Snapdragon 778G 5G. The only "Upgrade" that A53 5G did was the batter capacity which is 5000 mAH compared to A52s 5G 4500mAh. And lastly theres no Headphone jack in the A53 5G which is a "Midrange phone" unlike the A52s 5G that includes with Charger, case, earphone.
The charger need to be purchased separately?
the biggest thing that is different between the a52 and the a53 is mmWave support and C band support on Verizon.
When I saw the offer for the A53 with the buds live ...I went and ordered a S20FE and a pair of galaxy buds live ...it was the same price as the A53 offer with buds live...but I got a charger in the box and a SD 865 processor ,an aluminium frame instead of a plastic one 😄...this new phone made me realize...that if I want a Samsung phone better buy the old stocks now before it's too late...new Samsung phones are simply robbery...😄...no accessories, worse processors...but more expensive
I absolutely think the a52 would be worth it from my galaxy a10 that I used to have such a shame tho no more charging brick
It will! Hope you get that phone soon, the A52 is still amazing
The A52 still ships with the charging brick 👍

@@abdulsamadafolabi3189 No 3.5mm audio jack😥😣
This upgrade was a good upgrade for my Galaxy A12. Find that they got rid of the corded earbuds because I have wireless earbuds so that removing the headphone jack wasn't really much of a big deal for me and honestly the difference in quality between my old phone and this phone is actually a great comparison and contrast in quality so I'm so glad I made the upgrade
Man please 🙄. Get a pair of Apple Airpods 2nd generation for only $129 at Best Buy. You will never want wired earbuds again. And yes you can use the Bluetooth Apple Airpods on your Samsung Android Phone 📱! They sound great!
@@ucity85 I can buy ray-cons that work the exact same for half that price and I have working wireless earbuds
@@DaRogueKitty excuse me but i responded to the wrong person. I was trying to respond to the person saying they prefer wired earbuds and a phone with wired ear bud jack capabilities.

@@seferowastaken okay well here's the thing I don't necessarily care about all the highest specs and as for the storage I don't need any more than 128 GB in fact I don't even need more than 64 GB I could care less about the chipset to be honest so like I said the only thing that bummed me out was no headphone jack and even then I have wireless earbuds so honestly I would not have cared if I gotten the a53 or the a52
just got my Samsung Galaxy A53 5G,it's great I love the performance and features but the battery is draining really quickly even though it's just been a week. Can someone suggest how to solve this problem?
Mine the exact color...by chance no less. Bought 2023 last year to finally upgrade from J5.
Written on the phone.
No headphone jack???
If they wanted to make this phone better than lasts' year, then wireless charging would've been the way to go!
I know man this phone could've definitely rivalled the iPhone se 3.
I have the A53 and love it. I have no clue what he is talking about re the plastic back??? It is simply a mat finish plastic back, that's it, but nicely melds into the camera, nice design touch.
The speakers are amazing, even better than my S21 Plus. I like this device, as the SD card expandable memory is all important to me. Plus, the S21 Plus I have is a free replacement phone from Samsung for a former device, and cannot justify paying the expensive price tag.
I will say that if you get the A53, you will get a year more security updates.
The S21+ is killing this trash ass phone
@@LOUISVILLECARDINALS You're right that the s21 isgreat phone. I have the s21 Plus, but, NO EXPANDABLE MEMORY! A no-no in my book, so why buy one?
@@judyjones5089 for me personally i don't need expandable storage I'm good with my Pixel 6 128gig but i understand your concern with it if you do a lot of videos/pictures i think getting the a52 is a better option than the a53
This device doesn't have enough upgrades to tempt people to buy it. They took off the headphone jack, the charger and the TPU case. The only upgrade I see is the bigger battery.
You should make an a52 5g vs a53 5g review, I really can't tell which one I should get and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Love it ! Got it just now on sale @ $349.99 fully unlocked T-MO 5G everywhere.
Wow got mines for $160 just yesterday
This "no charger in the box" and "no headphone jack" fiasco is just getting even more worse. I just wonder why Samsung doesn't give the new users and consumers the choice of having a free charger. And, the "no headphone jack" problem, just for the sake of marketing is disgusting. My goodness! Samsung kept the headphone jack on budget Samsung A-series phones but ditched it on upper mid-range section.

bought it today, Android upgrades up to 2026, security patches to 2027. I am glad not much difference so also no big surprises
So for instance could Samsung have added value by adding a telephoto lens? Kept the headphone Jack, and/or increased the battery?
Picked this up on a sale from Best Buy for $300. We'll see how it goes.
I only buy flagships so I don't get to used plastic backed phones but the rare times I get to try one, I really like them.
Where did you get the blue color from
Looking forward to a dedicated camera review of this!
The A53 is not the first A series Galaxy to remove the jack. The A60, A80, A90, and A8s all came without the jack. In fact, the A8s from 2018 was the first Galaxy that didn't have a headphone jack.
This phone has some good features for people on a budget
Definitely! A good value overall, but maybe not for A52 users to upgrade
@@TechDaily you have a point
I have an A52s 5G, do you think it's worth it to upgrade?
@@jamesklusener it's up to you.
@@Reaperguy67 thanks 😊
Nice review as always mate :-) You doing a review on the A33 5G too ??
I have the A52s mint, I'm satisfied with what I have, no need to upgrade.
Actually not the first time they removed the headphone jack from an A series phone, the A80 didn't have it in 2019.
camera bump should be total flat in the phone. it is so huge camera bump.
I got this device today, because I needed to switch from Verizon to Spectrum(saving about 60% for phone payments if I'm not mistaken). Overall, it's an excellent choice for the next upgraded phone, with me having previously used an LG ThinQ android from Verizon.
But how do I charge it?
@@pizzahawaiiv2492 If you don't already have a USB-C to USB-C wall charger, you need to buy one. Got a nice one from Amazon for $14, but they're as low as $5 and can go way up from there. Any electronics store or eBay will sell them too.

@@jimwavect Yes, that's what I bought, sometime after getting my phone.
Not really much of an upgrade. Watching on my A52s. Still better and better processor in my opinion.
Ha. This has a 120hz 1080p amoled. Yours has lcd. Not even CLOSE. 800 nits of brightness too
@@DabblelyDiddly are you sure??? For real? A52s has Super Amoled
@@rickv5617 Yeah, I don't know what he is talking about.
What?! A52s have lcd? under what rock you live?
@@DabblelyDiddly Dude go do your research lmao💀🤦🏻
Can two sim cards and a memory card be used at same time on this device?
Don't know why I buy the S series phones when the A series is nearly as good and half the price bargin.
This will be a great upgrade for me as I'm still using the Galaxy A3 (2017)
I have the A53 5G and i really like it and I'm very sure you will like it also , the best thing about the phone is the display and 2nd best is the audio because the phone has really nice sounding speakers.
The cameras are also great
@@josephbennett3482 yes but you need to go in the settings and enable the Dolby atmos setting.
@@shanepatrick641 nope ,you can just swipe down from the top of the screen and access the Dolby Atmos with it's own dedicated toggle button you would have to swipe over to find it though and move it if you want.
Dolby Atmos makes wearing headphones or earbuds more entertaining especially when you are watching a video full of explosive action and you have the Bass Boost turned on , for this phone I recommend using Samsungs Wireless earbuds cause you will get the best sound and since Samsung's phones and earbuds are made specifically for each other you will get extra sound controls in the Samsung Wearable app such as noise canceling.
@@josephbennett3482 ohh okay, that's interesting! I've never watched a movie on my a53 so I may give that a go...
Coming from A51 hoping to upgrade to the A53 that type c to c and no charging brick is a disappointment
I was wondering when Samsung would stop including accessories on their A series…I guess it’s time!
@@TechDaily now they should switch to media tek dimensity
@@Mark_Anthony_africa no they should not lol
What do u need to charge this phone with no charging brick? I order mine today and didn't know it didn't bring it 🤔
@@TechDaily so how is the phone charged
I have been waiting for this video, can you do the A73 next.
finally i have been waiting for to make an other video
I so enjoy your reviews. They are excellent! Solid information and clear presentation.
Can't wait for the camera comparison between this 1 and the a 52
Got my A52s 5G about 3 months ago, and honestly there's nothing I would ask more for this device, the A53 is nice but definitely a downgrade if you're planning to upgrade from A52s
Dude it’s an a52 « s » so you can get the a53s
So the a53 is a upgrade of the a52
Not the 52s
@@Upgrayedddd I'm going to be too busy enjoying my A53 next week to be bothered with your concern for people like me lol. The A53 5G is a fantastic phone, regardless of it's other generations. The ditching of headphone jacks and expandable memory on "flagship" models is just proof that the smartphone industry is going through an "awkward phase". The A53 does have a better battery life than the A52, but otherwise the performance differences are either minor or tilt in the A53's favor, not factoring in gaming (which is not what this device is being marketed for...it's for everyday use, like social media, watching videos, etc).
I really want an upgrade. I have been saving up for a year now to buy an A series phone but I still don't have enough money. I'm $100 short. I just wish I could have an amazing phone like the a52/a53. I'm stuck with my oppo F9
Good review.. Samsung needs to up their game.. I really hope they can live up to their promise updates of 3 to 4 years! Good updates that is.. as the A52s had a bad one..
It's actually 4 to 5 years on the A33 and higher
Samsung has been using their game for a long time unlike google an apple Samsung makes a phone for everyone’s price range
Weird... Cause my A52 that I'm on right now has a high single core score by about 200.. and the multi core score is only less than 100 lower..
Yes sir wade bro i really like the Samsung Galaxy a53 5g it is a great phone for a great price bro preciate the video
Can’t say I wouldn’t appreciate a physical fingerprint sensor on the side of device. A53 5G looks decent. Definitely appreciate the bigger battery. But it does suck that Samsung has followed apple in the removal of headphone jack and the charger lol. NOT everything apple does is justified and shouldn’t be mimicked by other smartphone Companies. We as consumers shouldn’t be short-changed by certain companies, just because a popular company does so. I say Samsung should stick with what works best. Imo SD processors are more reliable.
Just got this phone. It is not much of an improvement over the A51 or A52 5G models. You lose the headphone jack and still no wireless charging. Exynos soc feels slower than Snapdragon and the 120hz display I turned off due to erraticness. A good phone otherwise but Samsung would need to bring wireless charging and ultrasonic finger print sensor to A54 hopefully.
I've been using mine for a few days now and don't have any major problems with it. I think the haptic feedback when you type is Weak but it may be a setting I can change because it vibrates for other things good. The other thing I seen was the Visible carrier app took forever to load on 5G but opened instantly when connected to wifi. I later noticed my mom's moto G did the same thing so I think it's a crappie app not the A53's fault.
It's working great for all the things I do daily. Works well with BT headphones and Android Auto. Battery usage seems too.
First of all, I'm not a bot.... I have an A42 5G running Android 12. The A42 does NOT have "Always on Display" & Google Assistant will NOT wake the phone when the screen is off/sleeping. (Trust me, I have tried all the so-called "remedies" & settings to no avail.) That drives me crazy! For those reasons (& a few more) I am strongly considering upgrading to the A53 5g. Does the A53 5G have "Always on Display?" Can someone confirm that Google Assistant wakes the phone when the screen is off or sleeping? My thanks for any replies.....
@@threeputt98allen Yes you can wake the Google assistant witn the phone in sleep(screen locked) it will respond and do some things. For some things you need to still unlock your phone. Like if you ask for the weather you will get the current weather. If you ask it to turn a light on/off that may require you to unlock.
The a53 does have always one screen. There are some settings to that you can customize. The default is tap to wake.
@@MrMikey1273 Thanks for the quick reply! I have been fussing with those issues daily since I bought the A42. Time to upgrade and stop this consternation..... Cheers!
I would love to see the power break in there I'm kind of but I am a little surprised that they actually remove the headphone jack otherwise it's a good looking phone
Changing the finish on the back of the a series is a definite improvement. That "glastic" stuff was just cheap looking and terrible to try to keep clean
Great video, as always. Any plans to do a full review of the A53 5G?
Already listed with boost for 199. Rip flagships
I bought an A72 last year. Does this mean that an A73 is coming?
Obviously
Hold the A72 bro seen the tendency of the A53 5g the phone is probably coming with Exynos...
A73 Will have same chipset as a52s according to rumors
Does this support band 71? WiFi calling?
in USA Exynos chip or Qualcomm varient? 🤔
I was wondering. Being new to android ecosystem and therefore not having any android phones would you recommend the a53 or a52 if price is not an issue?
Go for the a53 since it would last longer than a52
I think Samsung kinda forgot that both the Galaxy A52 5G and thew A52s 5G existed. So if you jump from the Galaxy A52 4G to the Galaxy A53 5G you can surely consider the latter an upgrade overall! 😏
Bot^^
I have planned to buy a phone what is the best to buy but it based on camera? Samsung A73 or Iphone 11?
what is new: No charger included.
I want to buy from Nigeria, which of the a53 model should I buy? Or do any model works anywhere?
No snapdragon??
I like my A52, but it's time for an upgrade.
I dropped my phone a lot. I would say out of the one year and 3 months owning my A52 phone. The only problem I ever had was when it reached the one year 2 months my battery was dying fast and when I was on the phone I sounded like I'm under the water. Lol
I'm watching this on my samsung galaxy a53 which I bought 1 hour ago
Do u think the s21 Fe is worth buying if being offered for 2/3 of s22's price ?
Definitely will be ordering mine from Samsung
A51 still runs like a champ.💪
Still using the A50, my gf got this one today!
I heard that chipset was supposed to run cooler. Thats weird to hear about over heating. And IMHO fast charging is dumb and ruins your battery I still use the og charge brick non lightening yeah it takes Lil longer but my battery lasts for daysssss yes 5 days. Remove all that bloat also and then see if there is some differences. And it's waterproof
How did you get the phone in blue? On the Samsung website all they offer is black :(
Bought the Samsung Galaxy A53 today. No phone jack plug in which I loved. Associate at Walmart didn't tell me I need a seperate charging unit that accepts the new usb charging cord. Tried calling the 44870 Walmart store for 30 minutes straight and could not get through. This has always been an issue for years at this 44870 store. The phone sucks and Walmarts' customer service sucks! I will return it tomorrow. WALMART SUCKS! I wish I didn't drop my A52 in the ice cream when I fell asleep, ha, ha. I loved it. Once again Walmarts' customer service sucks!
Just tried a Redmi Note 10 Pro and am wildy disappointed. Is the A53 worth the extra over an A52s? Think I need to go back to Samsung for a better experience.
Buy a52s if you can and dont mind no charger in the box and no headphone jack
@@markoroncevic do you mean A53? The A52s comes with a charger and does have a headphone jack I believe
Yeah sorry 🤣
I just got this phone,today and I don't know if I love it yet
Hi have screen protector together ?
Thank you for your information.
what type of ear phones does it need?
I've bought it few days ago for 500$ and that price is ok, some things aren't the best as i thought it would be, but the phone is good and i'm satisfied with it
Did you get 128/6 model or 256/8? I'm curious cause my country has only the 128 one
@@kristis3755 128/6, in my country we also have that version
You pay more for less that is just stupid. Im looking for a new phone and this was a competitor but now its out. The mi 11 lite or the upcoming x4 pro are both cheeper and comes with all the things this phone doesnt.
I have a question... Is the haptic feedback the same as the a52 phones or is it improved? Because those phones had a very slow and unresponsive haptic motor, felt very cheap.
That is a really good question. I have wondered that myself, and have reported it via Samsung Members Feedback, and asked for at least higher intensity vibration feedback in the next software upgrade.
I use TalkBack with my device, and if you leave its sound feedback on, but only at 25 percent, it can offset the lack of feedback in general. It just helps to "confirm" the haptic.
Thank you for the video. Could you please tell me if the case of the 51 or 52 would fit this new one?
No
