Sam89, 20 Feb 2023This is my review after 8 months of usage:
Camera is avera... moreMy experience is totally different from yours. I have used it for 10 months and here are my thoughts about it.
1. The camera is decent enough, and the ultrawide's output is also better than other competitors, but as usual, do expect some softness at the corner.
2. Video recording is decent enough too, thanks to the OIS which is absent in most competitors. But the quality is just meh similar to other mid-range under low light.
3. For 10 months I have yet to see any stutter or lag when I'm using the phone, but yeah sometimes the fingerprint unlock animation does make it feel slow. Just close it if you mind.
4. The battery life is amazing. Watching social media or video for 1 hour only takes about 5-6%. But charging speed is not something Samsung good at.
5. Screen is more than enough to use, the brightness is bright enough to see everything under the sunlight and the colour reproduction are good too.
6. Signal strength is way better than my previous Xiaomi and Oppo mid-range.
7. The stereo speaker output with Dolby Atmos enabled is nice.
That's it. I personally won't go for Xiaomi again due to the bad user experience it gave me in 2021, bugs and stutters happen frequently. As for Oppo, it's not a brand focused on price to performance ratio but it lacks too many things in the same price range as Samsung. I just can't accept the lack of OIS, stereo speaker and crappy 8mp ultrawide. Not to mention they both lack the IP67, which is something I considered a plus point.

Hi, I need to gift a friend, which should I get... A73 5G OR A53 5G?
Is SD better in performance vs. Exynos? Never used an Exynos CPU....
How good is the ROM of A53 and A73..? Smooth or lots of bloatware?
Hoping to hear back from the experts. Pros and cons of both?
Thanks.
PS: What would be you're pick? Finance are not an issues but want a smooth clean trouble free phone. Never used a Samsung brand...

This is my review after 8 months of usage:
Camera is average dont expect much. Horrible video recording.
Performance is ok not good, 8gb of ram and 778 chipset should perform better. Sometimes when you switch between apps or unlock your screen you feel like the device is only 2gb of ram and with Helio budget chipset.
Screen is good indoors, under the sun is not bright enough.
No fast Wifi protocol means no matter how fast your home fiber connection your limit is 450mbps.
Battery between fair to good.
The call app is super slow and when you change your wallpaper the phone hangs for seconds.
Slow and painful boot and restart.
I am ok if these things in the budget A23 or A33. But at this price point? Just no. I upgraded from A70 and I have to say the A70 in 2019 was bettter than this.
If you're planning to buy consider other options from Oppo and Xiaomi.

Anonymous, 16 Feb 2023Is the A52s supposed water resistant? How did it get water ... moreCause I have accidentally dropped the phone into the bucket while taking shower. (long story) The bathroom lightbulb burnt out and it was from old design, so I rely on my a52 flashlight as lightbulb. A few times "Moisture Detected" is okay but there's a limit on how many times it can be damaged, on my case it was so severe till it was too costly to repair it. Here's the list of damage:-
1) The screen is "untouchable"/no touch response, Bright vertical lines, white color cast on screen
2) Motherboard feels hot even it's in airplane mode.
3) Can't detect SIM card but WiFi still okay
4) Battery drain so fast like 15% per hour in Airplane mode and without any apps running in the background. Might be battery leaking I guess.
5) Moisture accumulated in the main camera lens.
6) Speaker emits unpleasant flickering sound, will hear the same sound when using the headphone
Lesson learned:-
Invest a good quality full body waterproof case. Don't wait until it happens..

I owned both a52s and a73. I bought a73 because my a52s had water damage and it was beyond repairable. It have the same specs like a52 but much WORSE camera than a52.
No 2x optical zoom only digital zoom, the quality is just blurry and noisy than my a52. In a52, I still can read the text from the test shot while in a73 is just like smudged, less detail, with bright artifacts on the text edge so noticeable when I zoom into it. The pixels in a73 look overprocessed, oversharpenned than a52s. Both photos taken from the same distance and lighting and appalled by how horrible it was. I have already bought the phone, can't return it, and now I really regretted it. You can buy better phone at this price range and we don't need macro lens and depth sensor for daily usage, we just want a better night mode camera/image sensor, ultrawide, but no optical zoom? That was a scam.
The a73 is overpriced, swapped with lower quality lens so people will be persuaded to buy their flagship entry level S22/23 phone.. It was my hard earned money and now have to live with it.🤬

Bought one 128/8 GB for girlfriend at 450 euros with free 25W charger. Great phone, no problem. Very good screen, fast, and Samsung UI is the best...Samsung quality, love it. No need for 1000 euros phones...
