I've had my A53 since 31st March now and I agree it's a good mid range phone. However I've noticed it does stutter, the 120hz refresh rate particularly struggles. Apps like messenger etc are fine but Spotify seems to take its time to open. No issues with gaming. I've been a avid iphone fan for years, however ive just got rid of the iphone 13 mini (battery was poor). This is my first personal android phone and I'm pleasantly surprised! Screen and photos particularly impressive. I've no regrets swaping👍
I have an iPhone 6s Plus and when I’m out and about I get a paltry 30 mins of battery life. Nice to know this Galaxy model is a bit sturdy and can cope with being dropped. I had an a12 model for less than a month and it slipped from my lap to the concrete ground very gently but that was enough to shatter the screen.
Thanks for your review of this, and others, mid-range phone. With the rising cost of living many of us will have to opt for one of these instead of a flagship.
Just letting your sponsors know that you are important by saying that this review made me pick up the A53 as my work phone solely because of the screen, water protection (No need for a headphone jack) and batteri life. 👌
Great review.. Just picked up one yesterday after my ZFLIP 3 developed the black line of death.. Didn't fancy forking out €400...for a new screen do went with this. I'd say it's equally as good if not slightly better in the speed performance area, so I'm really happy with it. No more €1000 phones for me...
After watching this review I bought the phone! I needed a reserve phone incase I dropped my S20 Ultra. I've been getting a bit annoyed with the Ultra since the last update were the camera seems to have been ruined. It won't focus properly and was really good before the update. Coming back to this A53. Put my SIM in it after buying it from Argos (here in the UK), and I'm gobsmacked, after having the flagship phones for years! It is shockingly good for its price point. I don't think I'll ever buy high end again.
@STARSHINE No regrets at all. The A53 5G is a superb phone. Battery is still as great as ever. Just had the Android 13, 5.0 update yesterday, phone still running super smooth. The update was very large, here in the UK. Over 2 GB, but I think it looks great. The visual touches to it are awesome too.
@@PeterHughes I have a refurbished Samsung galaxy S7, but the cameras are grainy which is really annoying. I might get the A53, would it be for me?? Would be an upgrade??
Had this phone for 2 weeks now. The performance was noticeably sluggish at the outset, but with time (and for reasons unknown) it seems to have settled down and it's as snappy as hell now. I'm very pleased with it.
I see the camera is supposed to have high mp pictures, however mine are only 1-2 and some are grainy. I can't find a place to change the resolution in settings like usual.
@@sirensong777 try using an app called open camera. Makes my Samung S7's pictures look quite a bit better. I bought mine refurbished but the cameras are grainy. Open camera has helped.
Samsung really made it difficult to recommend it over the A52s 5G with no headphone jack, no charger in the box and still pretty bad 4K and 1080p 60fps video stabilisation.
As a S20FE 5G user, this A53 has the same size screen. It has a few advantages - bigger battery and couple of years support, being that it starts 1.5 years later. As Chris mentioned, the processor is a bit of a step back. My SD865 is snappy, with the camera being responsive. Talking of cameras, no telephoto is a negative for me. I have used the wireless and reverse wireless charging, but I could charge my Galaxy Buds using a USB-C to USB-C cable. If I had to replace my S20FE right now, then I would consider the A53.
I've had my A53 for about 8 months now. It's a great phone - certainly compared to my S8 which had some awful battery - the display is phenomenal value, great battery life, Bluetooth works well with my headphones. Performance is something you notice day-to-day but definitely not something you should switch phones for so long as you're not a power user. Would definitely recommend 👌
Thanks, great phone and according to other reviews, the software might be the main thing keeping this phone back from a better performance. Hope that the OS from Samsung will improve with future updates.
I got one and switched to nova launcher 7....seemed to make things snappier to me. Not a big fan of the one UI....and the baked in UA-cam app doesn't videos very well, software update maybe.
It is....it have better SoC, it have an audio jack and it comes with charger in the box. Everything else is the same, just the price is 20% higher for a53.
@@JasonV74 my dad brought a53 and it's the first mid range phone we brought for him and i had hands on since I'm with Samsung flagships (Note 20 ultra) and let me tell you I'm impressed with that A series. It's so fluid and that 120 hz on a midrange is insane.
Funny how now Call of duty and pubg are considered lighter games when it comes to performance... how far have mid range and smartphone in general have come
Shout out to techspurt having superior full feature reviews instead of regurgitated specs. Actual results with splashes of humor keep the review informative and fun. You're the boss.
I purchased this phone last week. Inserted a 400gb card in it. The 5000ma battery still doesn't compare to the batteries in the Moto G Power series of phones. I was spoiled by their 3 day longevity with a 5000ma battery. Even my Nord 10, or my previous Moto G 5g phones, don't give me the battery endurance I want. I purchased the Samsung a52s, a few weeks earlier. But sent it back when I knew this phone was coming out. But based on geekbench scores the A52s was faster, too. I'm a little disappointed. But the one reason I keep this phone. Is it gets much faster download speeds from T-Mobile cellular network, then the Moto G5 G did or even better than my Nord 10 phone. They were getting 15 to 50mb download speeds from 5G antennas that I knew were nearby. This phone is getting download speeds between 250 and 350mn from the same antennas. That is the reason I'm keeping it. Lastly, I quickly change the screen refresh rate to 60 MHz to preserve the battery and make it last at least through the end of the day.
I just bought this today and was prepared to be underwhelmed due to the reports of lag and stutter. But I have not noticed any problems and all the apps I use run really smoothly.
Thanks for confirming, My next phone will be the A52s 5G, My Brother has the A52-5G, still rocking a Qualcomm chip and has all the bells and whistles this one has.
I found using 120Hz drained the battery pretty quickly. As I don't play games and only use the A53 5G for browsing, streaming music and video 60Hz is perfectly fine even if it means it's a tad slower when using it.
I think who wants to play games, editing videos or something like these wich take the chipset on a heavy pressure should go for the A52s . But someone who wants to do other things on a smartphone should go for the a53. cause the better battery life , camera experience and longer software supporting.
Marti from Birmingham UK here After watching this video I ended up buying this phone, despite its flaws it's perfect for me both in price and performance I'm not a heavy user so not noticed any struggle's as of yet, love the show keep it up
Got it two days ago and i absolutely love it, its been almost 4 years since ive used samsung / android and they have clearly upped their game since then
@@Dominik-tl2se Its not warm at all. I dont do any thing heavy on my phone tbh. Also i have capped my battery at 85% so with that i get about a day and a half usually (light usage)
I've got a A52s 5G and my first Samsung phone coming from a hauwei mate 20 Pro which I loved and I love this one but if I was to upgrade rather get a 21 FE 5G or a 21 or 22 5G because probably have deals in when the 23 and FE23 or released
I absolutely love this phone , i had the chance to buy it before the launch date. It's pretty good , i think. It has lots of impressive features. And i believe it will keep on getting better and better since not all the apps are yet optimized for exynos so upcoming updates will fix lots of stuff. And tbh i was waiting for years for a samsung device that has a flat back. I just love it
@@alanMeplusYou i think they will , most of the games are fine except genshin , it's a pc game not a mobile game. So i play it on my pc. Also honkai it runs well and the device optimized it well with high graphics. Even for wildrift it's nearly perfect. But the device heats abit which is normal i believe. Keep in mind they'll optimize them more later on
That's fine by me. I think I'll wait another week or two and hopefully the price will drop further before purchasing the A52s. The reviews I've seen are much better.
Sounds like they really dropped the ball with their Exynos chips. Are you planning on reviewing the A73? Keen to know if it's worth the extra $$ for the Snapdragon 778g.
If you ask me, other than the slightly larger screen, the higher megapixel camera and the longer software support, the A52s 5G is a much better buy if you're interested in the Snapdragon 778G
I love your videos.❤️ They are very helpful when choosing new phone. I can't decide should I get a52s that has better processor and headphone jack or a53 that has better battery and will be newer. I am actually linking more towards a52s. But I don't know 😭
Personally, I'd pick A52s 5G over A53 5G any day. The Exynos and no headphone jack was definitely a downgrade. Get Snapdragon variants any time you can.
Looking at A52s myself and I'm seeing several reviews about the 5G versions coming from India, and not available for activation in North America due to this.
Get a Creative Play!4 USB-C dongle. The audio is superior to any smartphone internal sound and allows me to use any high-end headphones. AUDIO SPECS (24-BIT / 192 KHZ, 110 DB dynamic range) Can be used on your Windows PC too with even more functionality , such as background noise elimination for teleconferencing.
I just picked this up on a prepaid carrier for only $199. Honestly I love this phone because of the display quality and camera for the price point. But to be fair I do come from a history of buying $200 phones and this feels like the best $200 phone I've gotten so far.
Basically same but with bigger battery which is the selling point. I'm still happy with my a52 and the latest update to UI4.1 has helped alot at UI4.0 wasn't great on battery life. Great work as always uncle spurt!
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.
Pretty happy with my A52s. Headphone jack? Check! Good Snapdragon SOC? Check! Stutter free performance? Check! And this A53 is 50% more coinage in Europe... Last year's model? I'm loving it! извините Макдональдс
But since it’s older it won’t be getting updates for as long as this, what happens when samsung stops supporting older phones? I’m thinking of buying a new phone and s21 fe is a little too expensive but a52 and s20 fe are older and now this phone seems to not be great
A52s, A53 or S21FE.....what to do on my upgrade this month? Not into gaming, maybe some CoD but nothing ball draining. More about photos and video creation for me, along with the standard mobile use. What's your thoughts?
I've been using the s20 fe 5g and have to say performance is excellent and the camera is excellent too especially in low light. No point going with the s21 fe only difference is the processor the sd 888 and no sd card slot.
The A53 is quite a disappointment for $450. The IPhone SE 2022 is an underrated value Mid-Ranger. You get a Flagship Build, Processor, and Features. I mean, an Aluminum Build for $430 compared to a Plastic Build for $450? Really Samsung? Not to mention an underperforming Chipset that can't even keep the 120hz Display running Smooth and Silky.
Exynos and no 3.5mm headphone jack? Seriously, a NO. Seemed a downgrade of A52s 5g. 8mos user of A52s 5g here, I mean, what more could I ask for right now. Def satisfied and worth the money
I really like that so many Samsung phones still use LCD screens. I honest would love to have an iPhone pro model that uses LCD and still packs in a great ppi.
@@Raiko05 I mean, yeah, I know Samsung has phones with amoled screens. I prefer lcd, and that’s why I’m glad they have a lot of phone with lcd screens.
Great video' decent phone how does the selfie camera do against the a52s ? Whats the difference as there both 32mp whats best for detail skin colour and what has the widest Field of view 🤔 ✨️✨️✨️
The processor really kills this one for me. Doesn't even need to be a Snapdragon, a stronger Exynos would do fine. One other reviewer was right in saying "what's the point of 4 years of android updates if this particular exynos will hardly be able to cope with them in the end". I am not a gamer or anything, but I can get the Samsung S 21 FE 6 gb Exynos 2100 2nd edition for 489 Euros right now. The Samsung A53 5G 6 gb starts at 360 Euros here but the 6 gb ram won't cut it with that sort of a processor and the 8 gb version starts at 424 Euro. Too little of a price difference as I tend to use my phone for 4-5 years if it doesn't break. Still on my Samsung Galaxy S8 with Exynos but the battery is slowly giving out.
@@kierenkd I've thought about it and it's definitely an option but the phone is also getting rather sluggish at its old age even for a non power user like me so it's rather hard to tell how much life it has left haha.
I have moved on to this phone from my last mobile. Still waiting for it to arrive and although its not the best it will be substantially better than my now way out of date sony xperia 10ii :)
Is it true that the Galaxy A53 5G's front and rear cameras have better colours and dynamic range compared to the older A52s 5G? Or has the A52s had updates to its cameras?
I really thought about getting this phone, however i went with the 52s 5g and they were the same price. The headphone jack really is a make or break for me.
Really like your video but Samsung phones usually get hardware issues within 2-3 years, so no use of 4 years of updates. I own a Galaxy S21 Ultra but I'm in constant fear that the phone will get busted and Samsung is a coward to accept their mistakes. Like green tint issue for Galaxy S9 series, Note 8/9 series, S20 series and the company doesn't even acknowledge their mistakes. M and A series hang and restart problems are also very famous, again no acknowledgement from the company.
One of my favorite things about modern Samsung phones is the promise of longer software support.
Fair point. Even the Pixel phones don't get that kinda software support from Google lol!

Can be used on your Windows PC too with even more functionality , such as background noise elimination for teleconferencing.
So in other words it's a downgrade from the A52s.
Is there going to be a A53s soon ? I think that would be the successor to A52s. This just seems like an upgrade from A52.
A53 beats A52s
A52s can't even handle android updates and it lags and have bugs and less battery
So A53 is better
Exynos fail yet again. No 3rd rate Exynos chips in your phones Samsung, enough is enough.
it's not bad but I'm a happy user of A52s and don't see the need to upgrade anytime soon.
Skipping this exynos nonsense, nobody want's a bloody exynos on a mid ranger SAMSUNG.
I just picked this up on a prepaid carrier for only $199. Honestly I love this phone because of the display quality and camera for the price point. But to be fair I do come from a history of buying $200 phones and this feels like the best $200 phone I've gotten so far.
Awesome video 🔥🔥👍
Thanks for the review; we now have this phone. Where do you get the cool anime screens from?
As always a great video,informative as usual,hilarious at times 🤣..send my regards to the good ol' united kingdom ❤
I wish samsung would bring out a slightly smaller phone, about iPhone 13 size or galaxy s9 size.
Superb review. Im getting it
I really hate big phones! How about more compact phones? Not phablets!
Basically same but with bigger battery which is the selling point. I'm still happy with my a52 and the latest update to UI4.1 has helped alot at UI4.0 wasn't great on battery life.
Great work as always uncle spurt!
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.

For 450 euros no charger brick no screen protector no case no thanks Samsung
S20 FE 5g looks like a better option to me
how much is it going for these days?
That has way better cameras and a chipset that's twice as powerful so yes that is definitely a better option.
Pretty happy with my A52s. Headphone jack? Check! Good Snapdragon SOC? Check! Stutter free performance? Check! And this A53 is 50% more coinage in Europe... Last year's model? I'm loving it! извините Макдональдс
@@tlielthuddab9693 from how long you are using?
But since it’s older it won’t be getting updates for as long as this, what happens when samsung stops supporting older phones? I’m thinking of buying a new phone and s21 fe is a little too expensive but a52 and s20 fe are older and now this phone seems to not be great
A52s, A53 or S21FE.....what to do on my upgrade this month? Not into gaming, maybe some CoD but nothing ball draining.
More about photos and video creation for me, along with the standard mobile use. What's your thoughts?
I've been using the s20 fe 5g and have to say performance is excellent and the camera is excellent too especially in low light. No point going with the s21 fe only difference is the processor the sd 888 and no sd card slot.
We got this my sister for Christmas. Hope she’ll be happy about it
Hi. Nice video and very nice wallpapers. Can you share link for your wallpaper collection ?
just a worse galaxy a52s
The A53 is quite a disappointment for $450. The IPhone SE 2022 is an underrated value Mid-Ranger. You get a Flagship Build, Processor, and Features. I mean, an Aluminum Build for $430 compared to a Plastic Build for $450? Really Samsung? Not to mention an underperforming Chipset that can't even keep the 120hz Display running Smooth and Silky.
when's the A73 5G coming to the UK ???
Exynos and no 3.5mm headphone jack? Seriously, a NO. Seemed a downgrade of A52s 5g. 8mos user of A52s 5g here, I mean, what more could I ask for right now. Def satisfied and worth the money
How is the battery on it?
The burning question is where do you find the anime wallpapers!!! Plz tell us mate, other than that banger as always!
I'm getting closer to the s series, I'm stepping up my game.
I really like that so many Samsung phones still use LCD screens. I honest would love to have an iPhone pro model that uses LCD and still packs in a great ppi.
@@Raiko05 I mean, yeah, I know Samsung has phones with amoled screens. I prefer lcd, and that’s why I’m glad they have a lot of phone with lcd screens.
I have a honor 10 lite think I need an update phone budget 300 to 400 max what do you recommend not a gamer just need speed and guess more ram thanks
Great video' decent phone how does the selfie camera do against the a52s ? Whats the difference as there both 32mp whats best for detail skin colour and what has the widest Field of view 🤔 ✨️✨️✨️
The processor really kills this one for me. Doesn't even need to be a Snapdragon, a stronger Exynos would do fine. One other reviewer was right in saying "what's the point of 4 years of android updates if this particular exynos will hardly be able to cope with them in the end". I am not a gamer or anything, but I can get the Samsung S 21 FE 6 gb Exynos 2100 2nd edition for 489 Euros right now. The Samsung A53 5G 6 gb starts at 360 Euros here but the 6 gb ram won't cut it with that sort of a processor and the 8 gb version starts at 424 Euro. Too little of a price difference as I tend to use my phone for 4-5 years if it doesn't break. Still on my Samsung Galaxy S8 with Exynos but the battery is slowly giving out.
£60 to replace the battery at a Samsung store or authorised repair (so you keep ip water resistance)
@@kierenkd I've thought about it and it's definitely an option but the phone is also getting rather sluggish at its old age even for a non power user like me so it's rather hard to tell how much life it has left haha.
Shut up. Many people in the world cant even find food to eat. Stop being so picky
They blended the cameras better than Apple/Jony Ive !
I can't pass the crotch shot alert 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Could you do comparison to Pixel 6 (not Pro)?
I am a big fan , kindly advise BTW a53 or redmi note 11 pro + 5g ? I am still hesitant
Im confused with the A53. I bought the A52s instead which beats it massively performance wise.
The fact that this has slightly better camera than a52s makes me bought it. Smae battery performance and I dont care about the headphone jack.
I've this phone coming tomorrow I've read 3 different pages conflicting if it has wireless charging or not
Which colour did you choose Steffanie ?,I like the Blue and Peach 👍
I have moved on to this phone from my last mobile. Still waiting for it to arrive and although its not the best it will be substantially better than my now way out of date sony xperia 10ii :)
Sounds like a bit of a downgrade the judders in navigating puts me off.
You had me with those craft beer pics❤️
It's an A52s with an SoC downgrade
Is it true that the Galaxy A53 5G's front and rear cameras have better colours and dynamic range compared to the older A52s 5G? Or has the A52s had updates to its cameras?

This man has a wallpaper of culture
the komi-san wallpaper makes this video 20x more entertaining.
I love you for reviewing mid range phones, thank you so much
I love watching your reviews......even though many of these aren't available in the US. Very entertaining.......& now a crotch shot lol
I really thought about getting this phone, however i went with the 52s 5g and they were the same price. The headphone jack really is a make or break for me.
Really like your video but Samsung phones usually get hardware issues within 2-3 years, so no use of 4 years of updates.
I own a Galaxy S21 Ultra but I'm in constant fear that the phone will get busted and Samsung is a coward to accept their mistakes.
Like green tint issue for Galaxy S9 series, Note 8/9 series, S20 series and the company doesn't even acknowledge their mistakes.
M and A series hang and restart problems are also very famous, again no acknowledgement from the company.
