My A53 has been just below Meh and above I-can't-stand-it-need-a-new-phone-asap. I loved my A71 5G and thought this would be the next gen Samsung I was looking for, good overall specs compared to the flagship, but it's laggy, not as smooth, booting takes forever, it's just overall not a happy phone. And more mad bc I should have waited a month and got the cheaper Pixel 8 on black friday for less than this mid-level samsung. lessons learned.

Decent device and modestly rugged.
Mine is on android 14 with the March 1 security patch update and everything is running smoothly.
Great SOT and battery life is good also.

I accidentally clicked the updated button after months of refusing to update.
My phone is not the same ever since. Everything is buggy and laggy now. Shame on you samsung for forcing updates on people! I'm thinking about moving to Xiaomi.
DO NOT UPDATE TO One UI 6.0 !

There's lots of bugs. The person below me posted a link to the EU forum and that's exactly what's happening to me. Further, there's lag and mistouch when I'm playing a simple game like brawl stars.
Lag when you close apps, sometimes the touch doesnt respond. Can't believe all this is happening in a year of using the phone. It struggles in basic stuff. But I think it's a good phone if you don't mind the slow camera shutter speed and only use it to browse and attend calls. Multitasking experience isn't good.

Werner, 02 Feb 2024Is there anyone in South Africa who recieved Android 14 UI6... moreLooks like its a region problem affecting Africa and parts of South America to do with stability after updates. Wait for March upon release of A55 with stable Android 14 then we will start receiving. Funny thing though my old Galaxy A52 received android 14 UI6 early in January and its performing so well.
