I've had my A53 since 31st March now and I agree it's a good mid range phone. However I've noticed it does stutter, the 120hz refresh rate particularly struggles. Apps like messenger etc are fine but Spotify seems to take its time to open. No issues with gaming. I've been a avid iphone fan for years, however ive just got rid of the iphone 13 mini (battery was poor). This is my first personal android phone and I'm pleasantly surprised! Screen and photos particularly impressive. I've no regrets swaping👍
I have an iPhone 6s Plus and when I’m out and about I get a paltry 30 mins of battery life. Nice to know this Galaxy model is a bit sturdy and can cope with being dropped. I had an a12 model for less than a month and it slipped from my lap to the concrete ground very gently but that was enough to shatter the screen.
Thanks for your review of this, and others, mid-range phone. With the rising cost of living many of us will have to opt for one of these instead of a flagship.
Had this phone for 2 weeks now. The performance was noticeably sluggish at the outset, but with time (and for reasons unknown) it seems to have settled down and it's as snappy as hell now. I'm very pleased with it.
I see the camera is supposed to have high mp pictures, however mine are only 1-2 and some are grainy. I can't find a place to change the resolution in settings like usual.
@@sirensong777 try using an app called open camera. Makes my Samung S7's pictures look quite a bit better. I bought mine refurbished but the cameras are grainy. Open camera has helped.
I've had my A53 for about 8 months now. It's a great phone - certainly compared to my S8 which had some awful battery - the display is phenomenal value, great battery life, Bluetooth works well with my headphones. Performance is something you notice day-to-day but definitely not something you should switch phones for so long as you're not a power user. Would definitely recommend 👌
Marti from Birmingham UK here After watching this video I ended up buying this phone, despite its flaws it's perfect for me both in price and performance I'm not a heavy user so not noticed any struggle's as of yet, love the show keep it up
After watching this review I bought the phone! I needed a reserve phone incase I dropped my S20 Ultra. I've been getting a bit annoyed with the Ultra since the last update were the camera seems to have been ruined. It won't focus properly and was really good before the update. Coming back to this A53. Put my SIM in it after buying it from Argos (here in the UK), and I'm gobsmacked, after having the flagship phones for years! It is shockingly good for its price point. I don't think I'll ever buy high end again.
@STARSHINE No regrets at all. The A53 5G is a superb phone. Battery is still as great as ever. Just had the Android 13, 5.0 update yesterday, phone still running super smooth. The update was very large, here in the UK. Over 2 GB, but I think it looks great. The visual touches to it are awesome too.
@@PeterHughes I have a refurbished Samsung galaxy S7, but the cameras are grainy which is really annoying. I might get the A53, would it be for me?? Would be an upgrade??
Just letting your sponsors know that you are important by saying that this review made me pick up the A53 as my work phone solely because of the screen, water protection (No need for a headphone jack) and batteri life. 👌
Basically same but with bigger battery which is the selling point. I'm still happy with my a52 and the latest update to UI4.1 has helped alot at UI4.0 wasn't great on battery life. Great work as always uncle spurt!
I absolutely love this phone , i had the chance to buy it before the launch date. It's pretty good , i think. It has lots of impressive features. And i believe it will keep on getting better and better since not all the apps are yet optimized for exynos so upcoming updates will fix lots of stuff. And tbh i was waiting for years for a samsung device that has a flat back. I just love it
@@alanMeplusYou i think they will , most of the games are fine except genshin , it's a pc game not a mobile game. So i play it on my pc. Also honkai it runs well and the device optimized it well with high graphics. Even for wildrift it's nearly perfect. But the device heats abit which is normal i believe. Keep in mind they'll optimize them more later on
Great review.. Just picked up one yesterday after my ZFLIP 3 developed the black line of death.. Didn't fancy forking out €400...for a new screen do went with this. I'd say it's equally as good if not slightly better in the speed performance area, so I'm really happy with it. No more €1000 phones for me...
As a S20FE 5G user, this A53 has the same size screen. It has a few advantages - bigger battery and couple of years support, being that it starts 1.5 years later. As Chris mentioned, the processor is a bit of a step back. My SD865 is snappy, with the camera being responsive. Talking of cameras, no telephoto is a negative for me. I have used the wireless and reverse wireless charging, but I could charge my Galaxy Buds using a USB-C to USB-C cable. If I had to replace my S20FE right now, then I would consider the A53.
I just bought this today and was prepared to be underwhelmed due to the reports of lag and stutter. But I have not noticed any problems and all the apps I use run really smoothly.
It is....it have better SoC, it have an audio jack and it comes with charger in the box. Everything else is the same, just the price is 20% higher for a53.
@@JasonV74 my dad brought a53 and it's the first mid range phone we brought for him and i had hands on since I'm with Samsung flagships (Note 20 ultra) and let me tell you I'm impressed with that A series. It's so fluid and that 120 hz on a midrange is insane.
Thanks, great phone and according to other reviews, the software might be the main thing keeping this phone back from a better performance. Hope that the OS from Samsung will improve with future updates.
I got one and switched to nova launcher 7....seemed to make things snappier to me. Not a big fan of the one UI....and the baked in TH-cam app doesn't videos very well, software update maybe.
Samsung really made it difficult to recommend it over the A52s 5G with no headphone jack, no charger in the box and still pretty bad 4K and 1080p 60fps video stabilisation.
I really like that so many Samsung phones still use LCD screens. I honest would love to have an iPhone pro model that uses LCD and still packs in a great ppi.
@@Raiko05 I mean, yeah, I know Samsung has phones with amoled screens. I prefer lcd, and that’s why I’m glad they have a lot of phone with lcd screens.
Got it two days ago and i absolutely love it, its been almost 4 years since ive used samsung / android and they have clearly upped their game since then
@@Dominik-tl2se Its not warm at all. I dont do any thing heavy on my phone tbh. Also i have capped my battery at 85% so with that i get about a day and a half usually (light usage)
Shout out to techspurt having superior full feature reviews instead of regurgitated specs. Actual results with splashes of humor keep the review informative and fun. You're the boss.
I purchased this phone last week. Inserted a 400gb card in it. The 5000ma battery still doesn't compare to the batteries in the Moto G Power series of phones. I was spoiled by their 3 day longevity with a 5000ma battery. Even my Nord 10, or my previous Moto G 5g phones, don't give me the battery endurance I want. I purchased the Samsung a52s, a few weeks earlier. But sent it back when I knew this phone was coming out. But based on geekbench scores the A52s was faster, too. I'm a little disappointed. But the one reason I keep this phone. Is it gets much faster download speeds from T-Mobile cellular network, then the Moto G5 G did or even better than my Nord 10 phone. They were getting 15 to 50mb download speeds from 5G antennas that I knew were nearby. This phone is getting download speeds between 250 and 350mn from the same antennas. That is the reason I'm keeping it. Lastly, I quickly change the screen refresh rate to 60 MHz to preserve the battery and make it last at least through the end of the day.
Thanks for confirming, My next phone will be the A52s 5G, My Brother has the A52-5G, still rocking a Qualcomm chip and has all the bells and whistles this one has.
I found using 120Hz drained the battery pretty quickly. As I don't play games and only use the A53 5G for browsing, streaming music and video 60Hz is perfectly fine even if it means it's a tad slower when using it.
Get a Creative Play!4 USB-C dongle. The audio is superior to any smartphone internal sound and allows me to use any high-end headphones. AUDIO SPECS (24-BIT / 192 KHZ, 110 DB dynamic range) Can be used on your Windows PC too with even more functionality , such as background noise elimination for teleconferencing.
I think who wants to play games, editing videos or something like these wich take the chipset on a heavy pressure should go for the A52s . But someone who wants to do other things on a smartphone should go for the a53. cause the better battery life , camera experience and longer software supporting.
Funny how now Call of duty and pubg are considered lighter games when it comes to performance... how far have mid range and smartphone in general have come
Just bought A53 5G with 8gb ram and 256 storage it came with android 13 price just under 450 and I decided to get Samsung original flip case its seams a good phone .. Wish you well I have subscribed
I've had my A53 since Christmas day 2022 and its been great ever since I got it in the white colour as it was on a deal and it was the only colour in that deal but on the plus side it case with an official Samsung cover case and some galaxy tags. earlier this year I got it on android 14 and one UI 6.0 and it has handled it very well but I would say that other Samsung mid range phones may just be as good although I haven't tested that theory for myself.
Thank you for this detailed review... I was planning to buy this phone for my mom as a Lunar New Year gift. After watching this, I will buy for my mom.
I just picked this up on a prepaid carrier for only $199. Honestly I love this phone because of the display quality and camera for the price point. But to be fair I do come from a history of buying $200 phones and this feels like the best $200 phone I've gotten so far.
I love your videos.❤️ They are very helpful when choosing new phone. I can't decide should I get a52s that has better processor and headphone jack or a53 that has better battery and will be newer. I am actually linking more towards a52s. But I don't know 😭
your video is so great thank you so much for making this video and giving me an in-depth review because I have been totally thinking about getting this phone
Personally, I'd pick A52s 5G over A53 5G any day. The Exynos and no headphone jack was definitely a downgrade. Get Snapdragon variants any time you can.
Looking at A52s myself and I'm seeing several reviews about the 5G versions coming from India, and not available for activation in North America due to this.
what is better to choose a52 or a53, who holds the charge better and is fast enough??? I don’t play any games, I only need instant messengers, social networks and a camera.
I bought the 8Gb/256Gb version of the A52s one day before the A53 was announced (didn't know about it), however in hindsight it seems that the SD SoC is a better performer and yeah, some of us still have decent wired headsets that we want to be able to plug in to our blowers Samsung! I don't have UI 4.1 yet but I'm sure it's on the way. All being said, Samsung do make great midrange phones!
@@dajackalz A52S have the same chip, headphone jack, charger in the box (albeit a slow charger). A73 has slightly bigger battery and screen. Both are very similar, so I went for the A52S because it's already available and cheaper.
Sounds like they really dropped the ball with their Exynos chips. Are you planning on reviewing the A73? Keen to know if it's worth the extra $$ for the Snapdragon 778g.
If you ask me, other than the slightly larger screen, the higher megapixel camera and the longer software support, the A52s 5G is a much better buy if you're interested in the Snapdragon 778G
A52s, A53 or S21FE.....what to do on my upgrade this month? Not into gaming, maybe some CoD but nothing ball draining. More about photos and video creation for me, along with the standard mobile use. What's your thoughts?
I've been using the s20 fe 5g and have to say performance is excellent and the camera is excellent too especially in low light. No point going with the s21 fe only difference is the processor the sd 888 and no sd card slot.
I've got a A52s 5G and my first Samsung phone coming from a hauwei mate 20 Pro which I loved and I love this one but if I was to upgrade rather get a 21 FE 5G or a 21 or 22 5G because probably have deals in when the 23 and FE23 or released
Is it true that the Galaxy A53 5G's front and rear cameras have better colours and dynamic range compared to the older A52s 5G? Or has the A52s had updates to its cameras?
Love your videos Chris....I have one of the big guys, the S21 Ultra BUT you never kow...some friends might need advice on what to buy...cheers....your kid is growing up fast bless.
I have moved on to this phone from my last mobile. Still waiting for it to arrive and although its not the best it will be substantially better than my now way out of date sony xperia 10ii :)
I bought the A52 because my local country dealer was selling it £100 cheaper. So I decided that having a free case, free charger, 3.5mm jack for radio, 500mAh smaller battery and a processor with fewer power cores was OK because I don't play games at all. Weirdly, CPU-Z says my A52 has a 732G Snapdragon in it and that its battery is LiOn instead of LiPo. Must be an error? I also have impression my A52 came with Android 12 pre-installed. There was a 3h gap that I left the phone unattended and it had all its automatic update on. The GPS is very snappy even from cold and no WiFi. The magnetometer was a nightmare to recalibrate but GPS Test reports it is "high" accuracy now. The battery experience is very good. For a non-gamer like myself, i.e. web, YT, twitter and VLC, the battery lasted a long time even in less than 14% stage. I use the 85% battery protection mode and am happy with battery life so Imagine what 5000mAh of A53 would do. Even S22 or S22+ don't have that much non-removeabke power plus they have huge screens. The A52 has a horrible fingerprint scanner compared to a physical one. But you will get used to it fast. Let's hope that A53 has a faster under-display scanner and 5nm Exynos CPU doesn't get too toasty.
I have 3 lines. One currently has a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and the other two has a Galaxy A32. I'm going to upgrade one of the A32 to a A53, even though the A54 is coming out soon. I prefer the A53 over the A53 since it has more cameras and a bigger screen. I'm only going to be using the A53 for AI art apps, and general use like TH-cam, and basic web browsing, so it should be sufficient I think. I haven't had a problem with my A32 phones, so the A53 should be a nice upgrade for a midrange device.
You can get the Xiaomi mi11t for 299€ Far stronger CPU, nice display, similar front. If ur okay with MIUI and fewer software upgrades it's the better choice
That's fine by me. I think I'll wait another week or two and hopefully the price will drop further before purchasing the A52s. The reviews I've seen are much better.
Hey @Tech Spurt, does the A53 comes with an Orange tinged Torchlight? Because mine seems to be that way. I was expecting it to be like white-ish. Would appreciate if you could shed some light to this. Thank you.
One of my favorite things about modern Samsung phones is the promise of longer software support.
Fair point. Even the Pixel phones don't get that kinda software support from Google lol!

If given the choice between the A52 and the A53, I'll take the A52 all day. So disappointing that they dropped the headphone jack on the A53.
THEY WHAT?
Aw hell naw man I can't live without a headphone jack
I mean it's not surprising, flagship phones haven't had them for years.
Logic: A52 is batter because of jack???WTF man visit asylum
@@Arbiter691 Who are you talking to?
Would you pick the Samsung A53 5g or the Samsung s20 FE 5g in 2022?
I love your videos.❤️ They are very helpful when choosing new phone. I can't decide should I get a52s that has better processor and headphone jack or a53 that has better battery and will be newer. I am actually linking more towards a52s. But I don't know 😭
Gotta appreciate this guy's sense of humor
They blended the cameras better than Apple/Jony Ive !
I have a honor 10 lite think I need an update phone budget 300 to 400 max what do you recommend not a gamer just need speed and guess more ram thanks
your video is so great thank you so much for making this video and giving me an in-depth review because I have been totally thinking about getting this phone
Personally, I'd pick A52s 5G over A53 5G any day. The Exynos and no headphone jack was definitely a downgrade. Get Snapdragon variants any time you can.

Wired Headphones are going to be phased out soon. Everythings going wireless/bluetooth
@@akuma4u I can live with that. Still no-go for Exynos.
Looking at A52s myself and I'm seeing several reviews about the 5G versions coming from India, and not available for activation in North America due to this.
@@TreesandStuff69 Not sure, but mine was imported from Taiwan and works fine in Australia.
Great phone and a great review! Love that color.
2:35 heh
Lmao, HOOWWW??
what is better to choose a52 or a53, who holds the charge better and is fast enough???
I don’t play any games, I only need instant messengers, social networks and a camera.
I bought the 8Gb/256Gb version of the A52s one day before the A53 was announced (didn't know about it), however in hindsight it seems that the SD SoC is a better performer and yeah, some of us still have decent wired headsets that we want to be able to plug in to our blowers Samsung! I don't have UI 4.1 yet but I'm sure it's on the way. All being said, Samsung do make great midrange phones!
I bought a52s after A73 was announced haha
@@YosuaNangin Is the A73 a bad deal?
@@dajackalz A52S have the same chip, headphone jack, charger in the box (albeit a slow charger). A73 has slightly bigger battery and screen. Both are very similar, so I went for the A52S because it's already available and cheaper.
@@YosuaNangin Even I am planning to buy A72s 5G after seeing the price and specs of A73 5G
Sounds like they really dropped the ball with their Exynos chips. Are you planning on reviewing the A73? Keen to know if it's worth the extra $$ for the Snapdragon 778g.
If you ask me, other than the slightly larger screen, the higher megapixel camera and the longer software support, the A52s 5G is a much better buy if you're interested in the Snapdragon 778G
I'd rather wait for the Galaxy A53s with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.
@@Ghostsonplanets Are you sure it's going to get a Snapdragon ?
@@nicklion If it's not a Snapdragon 7G1, it will be a Mediatek, which is even better.
@@Ghostsonplanets There may not even be a Samsung a53s. There's literally no info or leaks about it.
Great review as always 💜
Now i have to decide between the xiaomi 12x or this competitive mid-ranger 😅
Nice review! Really looking forward to this phone. Does it have the Protect Battery feature which limits the charge to 85%?
A52s has it, so I think A53 also have it
@@carlcaspersen123 got it. Thanks!
Yes it does
A52s, A53 or S21FE.....what to do on my upgrade this month? Not into gaming, maybe some CoD but nothing ball draining.
More about photos and video creation for me, along with the standard mobile use. What's your thoughts?
I've been using the s20 fe 5g and have to say performance is excellent and the camera is excellent too especially in low light. No point going with the s21 fe only difference is the processor the sd 888 and no sd card slot.
I'm sorry Samsung. Snapdragon 778g is still a lot better. I'd rather get an A52s or M52.
I've got a A52s 5G and my first Samsung phone coming from a hauwei mate 20 Pro which I loved and I love this one but if I was to upgrade rather get a 21 FE 5G or a 21 or 22 5G because probably have deals in when the 23 and FE23 or released
@@BrianSmith-ej9my A52s is great choice, dont upgrade to S21 FE battery & UI performance sucks
@@StanPri UI Performance?
Is it true that the Galaxy A53 5G's front and rear cameras have better colours and dynamic range compared to the older A52s 5G? Or has the A52s had updates to its cameras?
Great review, thanks a lot!
Cuk ada Kobo wkkwkwwk, what a culture man👍
Great review btw, still enjoy my A51 but I'm really glad that the quality of the A5x series is still great.
Love your videos Chris....I have one of the big guys, the S21 Ultra BUT you never kow...some friends might need advice on what to buy...cheers....your kid is growing up fast bless.

I wish samsung would bring out a slightly smaller phone, about iPhone 13 size or galaxy s9 size.
I have moved on to this phone from my last mobile. Still waiting for it to arrive and although its not the best it will be substantially better than my now way out of date sony xperia 10ii :)
fire wallpapers as always. great video
Kobo 3:19
Awesome video 🔥🔥👍
The fact that this has slightly better camera than a52s makes me bought it. Smae battery performance and I dont care about the headphone jack.
This man has a wallpaper of culture
when's the A73 5G coming to the UK ???
I bought the A52 because my local country dealer was selling it £100 cheaper. So I decided that having a free case, free charger, 3.5mm jack for radio, 500mAh smaller battery and a processor with fewer power cores was OK because I don't play games at all.
Weirdly, CPU-Z says my A52 has a 732G Snapdragon in it and that its battery is LiOn instead of LiPo. Must be an error? I also have impression my A52 came with Android 12 pre-installed. There was a 3h gap that I left the phone unattended and it had all its automatic update on.
The GPS is very snappy even from cold and no WiFi. The magnetometer was a nightmare to recalibrate but GPS Test reports it is "high" accuracy now.
The battery experience is very good. For a non-gamer like myself, i.e. web, YT, twitter and VLC, the battery lasted a long time even in less than 14% stage. I use the 85% battery protection mode and am happy with battery life so Imagine what 5000mAh of A53 would do. Even S22 or S22+ don't have that much non-removeabke power plus they have huge screens.
The A52 has a horrible fingerprint scanner compared to a physical one. But you will get used to it fast. Let's hope that A53 has a faster under-display scanner and 5nm Exynos CPU doesn't get too toasty.
Can't decide between this phone, Honor 50 or Moto Edge 20 pro. Which do you think is the best option?
I am a big fan , kindly advise BTW a53 or redmi note 11 pro + 5g ? I am still hesitant
This was very helpful. Please do the A73 5g.
Is there going to be a A53s soon ? I think that would be the successor to A52s. This just seems like an upgrade from A52.
A53 beats A52s
A52s can't even handle android updates and it lags and have bugs and less battery
So A53 is better
Superb review. Im getting it
Good battery life is something I'm particularly interested in right now. This one seems to have a good battery life, from the video.
Yeah it's what I'm looking for to. And at least a decent camera that can shoot a clear image, bit of a bonus that it comes with an SD card slot 😁
I have 3 lines. One currently has a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, and the other two has a Galaxy A32. I'm going to upgrade one of the A32 to a A53, even though the A54 is coming out soon. I prefer the A53 over the A53 since it has more cameras and a bigger screen. I'm only going to be using the A53 for AI art apps, and general use like TH-cam, and basic web browsing, so it should be sufficient I think. I haven't had a problem with my A32 phones, so the A53 should be a nice upgrade for a midrange device.
Always a good review.
You can get the Xiaomi mi11t for 299€
Far stronger CPU, nice display, similar front. If ur okay with MIUI and fewer software upgrades it's the better choice
Could you do comparison to Pixel 6 (not Pro)?
Your smartphone have some of best wallpapers.🙌
So basically the best thing about the A53 is it made the A52s cheaper lol
That's fine by me. I think I'll wait another week or two and hopefully the price will drop further before purchasing the A52s. The reviews I've seen are much better.
@@DaleyMayall 270€ is the lowest I have seen it for today. But probably will go for an Xiaomi 11T as I've seen that for just 299€ as well.
Shalom
Awesome work as always
Love her attitude in the pics

Hey @Tech Spurt, does the A53 comes with an Orange tinged Torchlight? Because mine seems to be that way. I was expecting it to be like white-ish. Would appreciate if you could shed some light to this. Thank you.
