What about a53 camera

    Bought my a53 to replace my aging LG 8X thin. From day 1 I noticed stuttering when scrolling and some apps the screen would be unresponsive for up to 15 seconds. Went on and chatted with samsung support, did the optimise, factory reset ect. Problem came back straight away they offered me a coupon to buy a Snapdragon A73 they hinted this would fix my issues. I was excited until I realised it was only $100 and they won't take the a53 as a trade up. So angry I bought this lemon model I am going to post videos to warn others to stay away from this trash phone.

      MaleedWoo, 23 May 2022So you use what Apple?I'd never support this greedy corporation, as I want to have some control over what and what not I can do with my devices, and not letting the fruit company babysit me... I use sony, realme, microsoft, asus, msi, samsung, lenovo, doesn't really matter... i use whatever suits my requirements the best. That's the advantage of not being blindly limited to a walled garden.

            The Poco F3 is a performance beast with decent cameras albeit not at par with the Galaxy A52s/A53 but the Poco has better video recording due to EIS.

Well, phones really have gotten a mainstream product aimed at tech illiterate people nowadays, unfortunately.

                    The size of the p of the wide camera on the top of review wrote 48p, but down on the camera details was wrote 64p.
                    Which one is is the right one. And fix that.

                          If you have too much chargers it's probably because you buy too much phone.
                          I bought my current one 6 years ago and is still working. If I change my phone, I also expect the charger to be included and upgraded.
                          Customers should take responsibility of eco responsibility and stop praising brands for green washing

                            I bought a Poco f3 for 200 pound of mi UK store,the 8/256gb model with a Snapdragon 870 which wipes the floor with this phone,it has a better screen and speakers and comes with a 33 watt fast charger and a longer lasting battery,but the cameras are not quite as good as this Samsung,I think this Samsung is a downgrade on the A52s 5g.

                              Anyone who buys a phone without a included charger deserves exactly what he got. no matter the brand the charger is a nessesary part and must be included no matter.
                              Now even midrager phones are starting to get this anti-consumer trend i can only hope that the price sensetive customers of this segment won't so easly bendable as was the case with the high end.
                              Samsung, Apple or any other brand have no force over you to get thier stuff, think with your wallets guys, choose what gives you value.

                                  1. You can charge the phone and listen to the same time.
                                  2. No weak link in the adapter. Adapter will break someday. Cables are not reliable. This is not sustainable.
                                  3. People still prefer wired headphones because they don't use battery, they are cheaper and better sounding.

                                  This is not because of the price. If this trend goes, I might consider remaining on LG V20 or buying future Xperia phones.

It is like the 3.5 jack. It is just not relevant, unless an important app does not work at all, and fortunately it is not the case.

                                      4. The presence (or not) of a charger. Seriously? Don't you have already enough chargers? Sustainability is the main reason behind new phones don't come with a charger. Instead of criticizing you should applaude it.

                                      And finally a note about the bias. I understand that most readers are looking for the reviewer' s opinion, and is sums all the things evaluated in a few words. Sometimes the same things and for a device are appraised and on a similar device (features and price) are criticized.

                                        I started to read the A53 review as it is a candidate to replace my wife's Xiaomi. Something was bothering me with the review, and it was not about the phone, it was about the review itself.

                                        I understand and applaude that you must use a template for a review, and I ask you to update a few points, that are annoying at this point.

                                        1.- Stop complaining about the 3.5 jack. Just say if it is present or not. The trend is what it is, and if you have an expensive cord headphones, you will have the money to buy the accessory to use them, or understand that it is time to move on.

                                        2.- Speakers audio test: The best audio coming out from a phone is still a low quality audio for music, no matter what. I've had several phones with stereo sound with good sound ratings, and listening to music has always been a disgrace. Instead, audio quality for video calls is very useful, and also how the mic behaves during a call, it makes a HUGE difference to have a call that a device that has a good mic handling and good voice reproduction. May be nowadays the speakers are used more for that than listening to music.
