The A25 5G is basically a re-shell of the A53 5G, the processor, GPU and most of the specs are identical. They just moved it down a bit on the price tier.
Great video! Could you do a video on how you changed the firmware on the blacklisted phones you purchased? Also you mentioned you had a second channel, what is the name of said channel?
You seem very knowledgeable when it comes to samsungs. Would you reccomend getting one of these used, or a newer a15 5G 6GB RAM model. Both are about the same price for me. I'm looking for best value to performance, and long term use, meaning which will last me the longest before to slow and laggy. Software support I don't mind as much, just as long as it can still run all the latest apps. Thanks
Bought this phone brand new in January of 2024 for $149.99. Currently running Android 14 and is scheduled to update through to Android 16. At this price point, this phone is still incredibly viable, and honestly, it's still a competitor with newer budget models.
An older flagship such as the S20 or the S20fe won’t get one ui 6..is that something that may be of concern or are the older devices still good to get?
They may not have one ui 6 but an s20 or a s20 fe for 130 Dollars is a great phone to use today. An s20 fe or a s20 Camara is much better than an a53 5G and the display…IS SO MUCH BETTER ON AN S20/S20 Fe then on a a53 5G.(This is my opinion)
Had a year and some months since 2023. Does what required of it. Biggest gripe is battery since months ago would not fully charge. Worried me enough to consider wiping. Wonder and hope its software and not a non removable battery. Since last week I unplug and drain a bit before replugging. The issue is rare. Buy today you updating to android 14 and later 16. Its camera took to my photography to stratosphere. I snap each day almost.
Finally somebody who uses the same phone as me. For me this phone is a significant upgrade from my oppo a5 2020 like the oled screen,120 hertz etc. I got phone brand new just before the a54 got released. The only problems with it is the plastic sides that scratched and ui bugs they are the only problems
Is RAM a big consideration for long term use? Is the 6GB that this device would come with, enough for the latest os it supports, etc. I'm not sure if I should consider another samsung device with 8 GB, or even a more budget one with 4GB. Looking for best value to reasonable performance that would last me the longest. Thanks
Do you know why the galaxy s8 and note 8 are more susceptible to screen burn in? I know the note 9 and s9 can still get it but it's more rare on those models.
My phone (galaxy s9 plus) has a case on it but it keeps slipping out of my hands and fell on my face a couple times. Also one time I accidentally dropped it halfway downstairs at my old house (with the case) and the back... It is a replacement though and already had one crack from me setting it on uneven concrete very lightly with no case on.
Got mine in 2022, definitely worth it. Have an S24 plus now but keeping the A53 for low demand mobile games and picture storage.

nah only the soc combination is the same. You don't get for example always on display. And you have the most ugly cutout on the screen.
I've had this phone for about a year now and it's wonderful. It lags sometimes, but it's a really good phone and it's good for my budget.

Second channel is intellitech studios, it's vacuum focused
I actually own this phone and my experience has been very laggy and makes me want to chuck it against a wall. Good video
Maybe replace the battery? That could be why
@intellitechmobile3020 strangely enough it was brand new so I'm not sure if maybe it's defective but not sure
Ofc it is going to lag, its cpu is subpar level
Recently bought a OG Pixel XL still running Nougat for the unlimited photo backups in orginal quality
Just use custom rom that has that feature
@@subgivtara u can install a rom and then, with root, have unlimited gphotos
Why did you keep throwing the phone, really?
idek what budget phones are for nowadays lol any kid fresh out og high school and no credit can get the latest $1300 i phone/galaxy for $30 a month
Imagine paying monthly for a phone 😂
I recommend u update it to one ui 6, the phone is so much faster now

Both are great choices, if you're not sure go with either which one is cheaper or which one is newer in your market
Which one is better a25 or a53

You should definitely try the OnePlus nord 3 or oneplus 12r or even a nothing phone 2, they're great as well

S20s are still great imo but id spend the extra couple bucks on the S21 series personally.

I have this phone but the only disappointed is the no 4k play .

6 should be plenty for light use

Likely teething issues with the first batches of 18.5/9 displays
Hyperglaze polycarbonate

What did you use for recording this video?
Galaxy Note10 iirc
