Really don't buy this phone. I don't want to but China brand phones so I choose samsung not I felt very bad. Such a waste product for 32k. I am facing the following multiple issues for almost an year. If you have this phone pls check.

1) Most of the time the call unable to disconnect.
Even if we press the red option to disconnect the call will be still active and we will not be able to connect another call. So the phone has to be restarted. I have done this several times.

2)Wi-Fi will not work properly when we connect to Bluetooth speaker. When I play songs in YouTube with Bluetooth speaker it will buffer most of the time but once we disconnect Bluetooth the Wi-Fi will work properly. I thought initially the broadband problem but when I connect another phone I don't face this issue.

3) Most of the time when we connect a call with Bluetooth headset the call will be not clear after few minutes. once we disconnect the Bluetooth the call will be ok.

4) Recent time I am facing too much of heat issues. Not sure this was due to the updates.

        I am at my second Samsung Galaxy A53 5G in less than 2 months.
        Its biggest issue is the speaker.
        I thought this was an exception for the first one, but now also my second one has it.
        Restart, factory reset etc doesn't solve the issue.

        My honest advise is don't buy it.

I have had to send it back to Samsung twice and now they want it back again to attempt to fix it after them telling me that there is nothing wrong with it. I brought it to a local Xfinity store and their rep had the same things happen to my phone that I complained about while he was operating my phone. I can't tell you how many hours I have been on hold between Xfinity, my phone insurer and Samsung personnel. Insurance won't replace the phone as it is still under Samsung warranty. Samsung says there is nothing wrong with it. Xfinity still charging me for service despite me not being able to use the phone since February 2023. I am under a 2 year contract with Xfinity Mobile and if I cancel it, I will have to pay them nearly $500.00 for a non-functional phone and be stuck with it. I went to another carrier to get a second phone while my A53 was first sent to Samsung. Still using the Motorola and paying two phone bills due to this freaking circus act I'm stuck in between. STAY AWAY from A53 5G phones !!.... that's another issue NO 5G signals received by this phone. Lousy Verizon coverage/signal despite being told there are towers in my local area.

            This phone is not a flagship phone, and you should not raise your expectations from a mid-range phone for a price of less than $500, which only shows its illogicality. This phone is a great experience for those who surf the web, watch movies for hours, and sometimes play games. It's exciting. Never compare Samsung class with Xiaomi. The user interface is full of bugs and ads that will confuse you.

              Hello, dear friends on the site. It seems that most of the comments are directed and are trying to ruin the reputation of the phone manufacturer. One of the best mid-range phones in the market is the A53. These are Xiaomi fans.

                  The A53 is a piece of crap. This is my third phone in less than 6 months that is showing moisture detected. It has to be a problem.

                    Reviewer says the A52s camera is the same but compare the photos of the UK bank note in 16MP and 64MP and there are noticeable differences. The A53 photos have more detail.

                      EXCELLENT battery strength; however, I purchased in Aug/2022 and the operating system is starting to fail in Feb/2023. The phone is doing all kinds of weird functions all its own and not typing the letters I'm commanding it to type. If I type a W, it types an H...ect. Takes me several minutes to send a short text message. I definitely thought this phone would last me at least a year.

                                        I wouldn't recommend the Samsung A53 5G! I got this free from my wireless provider....THANK GOODNESS! Twice now, I had to check the volume settings after turning it on in the morning, because you have to press both the volume button and the power button at the same time to turn it off! My last Samsung! I thought they were making improvements, instead of the aggravation!!
