Samsung Galaxy A53 in for review

01 April 2022
The phone is expected to be a bestseller in 2022, and now it comes with a Samsung chipset.

Sort by:

Samsung still using their brand name only and providing these low processors with 25w chargers

    It will be one of the best sellers in growing coutries like India and Turkey so we are looking forward for review

      Go for Note 10 Plus or S20 Plus 4G. A LOT better than this mediocre phone with a highend price.

          I was waiting to see how Exynos 1280 performs, and decided to get A52s for 40% less than A53. Same cameras, 3.5mm jack, same screen, and better processor. Only two things A53 has better are 4 major updates and bigger battery, and none of that is worth 200 euros more.
          For 450 euros, you can buy S21 FE. This year A series will be big flop. Actually all mid-range phones this year are flop. Maybe we see some changes from summer. There should be some phones with Snapdragon 7xx chipset

            Not even the slower chipset matters as much as the fact that I have to charge every day since I bought it.
            Besides no one expects a midrange phone to remain as useful and last for more than 4 years, thus these long-term commitments to updates are more of a marketing than anything...

              Just buy A52s. Grab them fast while you can. More cheap but good soc

                      On one hand, phone makes can make their USB C port become superior to AUX in sound quality, on the other, no one even mentions or brags about their chips or processing for audio meaning they did not really put much effort into it.
                      You'd need a decent doungle which can easily be the same price or far surpass a decent earphone with an AUX port.

                        The only thing that could make people buy the A53, is the promise from Samsung for longer software support. But, seeing how software updates are bad implemented nowadays, I don't think this is a plus anymore in buying a new phone. If anything I think you are better of with something like a Note 9. At least you will not worry that a software update could break your phone, lol.

I bought the a52s instead. The a52s' Qualcomm chipset supporting WIFI 6 was the deciding factor. I decided the a52s was a better value especially since Samsung is offering on their website the a52s with 8gb/256gb for 389€ instead of 509€.

                              I have my doubts about the Samsung chip, so I didn't wait for A53 and bought A52s in January. Overall I'm happy with my new phone (over my LG V10!).

                                No wifi 6 as the a52s.

Also, i have several tws and i just keep forget how to operate them such as pair, turn off, etc. For me, wired just more reliable.
