For those that thought that this device wouldn't handle 4 years of updates, my A53 just turned 1.5 years old and it run smoothly (probably more than at start) with 8 hours SOT without any problems

              "Oh, it's Exynos, the last Exynos I used was the Exynos 7904 which was used in low end phones and was laggy so I expect that this will be the same, I literally haven't tried this phone but because it's an Exynos I expect to overheat, definitely a massive downgrade from A52s"

              Even if the only think that's a downgrade is the chipset and everything else is the same or better on the A53

                  It's really grown on me in the 7 months I've had it. At first I kept looking at other phones on Facebook and online but after a few months that stopped and I now look upon it favourably. The battery is big and lasts two days, the screen is big and long so it's good for reading Korean manga on Tapas, mine has 6GB of ram and 128GB of storage neither of which ever fill up. My storage is usually at 60% full and my ram is also usually at 60%.
                  I also use Nova Launcher. 9/10

I'm planning on bu... moreNot really, it was at launch that wasn't optimized where it lagged like a snapdragon 680, now it's much better, it's about 10% better than snapdragon 765g and 15% worse than dimensity 1080.

                                  Most of the hate is because it's an Exynos chip and that scares people so you can see people complaining about overheating when it barely heats in normal use and just get warm while playing heavy games, and even that, the exynos 1280 has less throttle and heating than a SD778g for example. In battery it's good, since it got more optimized now gets like 1.5 or 2 hours more sot than the A52s or A73 which both used SD778g.

                                  Or you can see people complaining even without trying a phone with the chip

A53 for 240, you're saving yourself 120 bucks which you can add to the next time you buy a phone after 5 years when your A53 breaks down. Get yourself a flagship, I still prefer A53 over A34 because of the price difference, difference in performance is not much. But, if I'd get A54 for 240 then, I'd take that

I get about 6:30 SOT which includes an hour and a half of youtube.

                                        It's optimized for daily use, but still clutters ocassionally. But I don't really mind those as they are ocassional. Also, if you're using a flagship (like I was using F1 before I had this) then you will notice delay it's bout a milisecond, but still noticable. You do get adjusted to it after a while. Gaming sucks, you can still game but the device heats a lot as a result you loose performance.

                                        If you do not want all this bullshit, then just get yourself an S21 FE which was recently available for around the same price as a sale, that's a real steal. A54 offers updates (good ones ) over A53 but 1380 is just like an overclocked 1280. A53 currently as better battery, which might change soon.
