Current gen A53 midranger:
No charger in the box (A52s comes with)
No headphone jack (A52s has one)
Worse cpu than A52s (5G)
More expensive than A52s 5G...
And they even wonder why... They really get what they deserve, I don't feel sorry at all for this greeds.

"What's the point of selling more stuff if we're not making as much money as we did last year?" is probably what they're thinking.

A53 doesn't even have hdr screen, competition is selling 10 bit hdr10+ screens at that price, a52 processor only have 2 performance cores, competition is selling snapdragon 778g or 8xx at that price.

Why not make them a bit cheaper?
Growing inflation is causing people to think twice before spending large sums of money on something new.
Companies should adopt accordingly

Interesting. I find that their A series is far more interesting and attractive than their S or Z or whatever high end stuff. Currently using an A71. I'm expecting my next phone to also be an A series... but this phone is pretty good and I'm probably going to keep using it for another 2 years before I need to replace it, lol.

Anonymous, 22 Jun 2022A53 replaces A52, not A52sI got my A52s a month ago, after comparing it with A53, I went for last year's A52s. The A53 only got better software updates (4 major updates vs 3).
sure A53 got a bigger battery but according to gsmarena battery test, that extra 500 mAh is meaningless because Exynos 1280 is not as efficient as SD778G, and got exactly the same 113h endurance rating.

If that were true, why am I not seeing huge discounts to clear them? It’s simple economics, if you have too much supply and not much demand, then lower the price. But I guess Samsung prefers having stockpiles of inventory than getting some sales?

Recycle, and make more high end phones to rival iPhones.
iPhones demand is off the roof. Leave the low end phones to other makers, where they try to beat one another with lower and lower price.. let their support deal with demanding customer who want to squeeze every drop of their budget phones.

People are smart enough to realize that there are other phone brands that offers same specs (sometimes a lil better) for reasonable prices..

But hey.. it doesn't matter because cell phone fans only look at specs/price ratio and then they compare them to last years models because they don't read news and don't have a clue what's going on in the world and why all prices went up.
Peace out!

With the chargers gone and ridiculously marked up prices for low perfoming devices what else do you expect. Also inflation is kicking in so yeah.
