They've already said all the essentials and conclusion in video review. Software is an upgrade.

      This phone is REALLY good in overall performance . They keep comparing it to an old MODEL
      which has better price and better performance.

Best example would be the Samsung A12 with P35 that stutters and lags even when new. Even the A52 4G I am using also ocassionally stutters when performing gestures despite having 8GB RAM.

            I got this for $200 on a carrier deal and I still regret it. It can't even pull down the notification shade or scroll between home pages without obvious stuttering the majority of the time. The processor is total junk.

            As a bonus, half the time you take a picture it'll switch to video but not actually capture anything.

            Save your money and get virtually anything else.

Even on my A52, I kept my fingers crossed while upgrading to OneUI 4.0. For now, I will adopt a wait and see approach for the new Exynos. Who knows, maybe I might finally change my mind about Exynos and get a A54 or A55 using Exynos in the future.

                  People dont make a new forum thread just because their phone does work normally.

                      For example, in my country their cost (A53 and A52s) is not much different.
                      So I'm thinking about getting a newer model. I'm also worried about flickering as this will be the first phone with an Amoled screen.

                            As for the topic, little question. From my perspective you guys there have quite high prices, is that why many seek custom ROM, Exynos and so on? As wrote before, it's opposite where I live. Exynos unpopular, Snapdragon has good reputation long-term.

No need to mess with custom ROMs etc. O.K. that's matter of taste. BUT I've never heard of love to Exynos and it's rather opposite people do buy it because it's reliable so please speak for yourself, or UK, or some developer community, not Europe and Asia lol. I'm in EU. Thank you

                                Kaki, 19 Apr 2022See, once you go Snapdragon you never go back. Snapdragon, really. What a joke. Absolutely trash when comes too rooting and custom Roms and kernels. Developers love EXYNOS, hate snapdragon, because closed source codes. Europe and Asia we love Exynos, Snapdragon is available in here in UK, but they are interested and love Exynos.

                                Snapdragon on ebay here in UK, no one buys them.

                                      But again, both regular A5x 5G and A5xS 5G series has their own plus minuses.

                                      If you are looking for newer phone design and cant wait to try newest Android OS/One UI, go buy regular A5x series.

                                      If you are looking for better processor and dont mind with its older design, go buy A5xS series.

                                      Samsung create these two series (A5x and A5xS) to accomodate two types of consumers, so people could choose which one is better for their need.
