Bought this brand new for $159 on sale in January 2024. This phone kills it at this price point and has android updates set through 2026. Still a very viable phone in 2024 if you get a good deal. Just make sure you disable the scene optimizer in your camera setting if you don't want shutter lag. The pictures are still excellent without it.

Still using mine daily... Bought it on launch in April 2022 with galaxy buds live included and it still runs pretty ok, battery has degraded to 86% as I was using it a lot while driving so constantly charging. This phone was laggy a little at the beginning but it really feels like it's got better over time with updates. Samsung seem to optimise their products well over time. I was considering upgrading to galaxy A55 when it launched but it didn't really seem to be a significant upgrade to me for the money, not even wireless charging. A53 now runs pretty much buttery smooth with everything apart from games but I don't really use it for games anyway. I think I am going to keep my A53 till the pixel 9 launches in October and will then keep it as a secondary phone.

Me here proud of being A53 user since May 2023. But I just had a problem about the screen lags and I went to technician to fix it up.

I have had this phone now for 1 year and a half. I am running Android 14 with U.I. 6.1 it runs great. I factory reset after 6.1 update fixed any issues for me. I only paid $300 Canadian for it. No complaints in 2024.

According to you this phone is "done by getting sw support". Truth is that A53 will get android 15 and android 16 and gets security updates until 2027. Dunno seems kinda important point to left out in video explaining longevity of a phone in 2024

This phone used to work great. Recently in the last couple months its seemed to really show its age. I dont game much but even the poker wsop app really slows this phone down and takes forever to load. Works fine for social media and youtube but steer clear if you want to game. The photos it takes arent very impressive compared to what else is out there aswell. But for a cheap phone i picked up i believe 2 years ago its still going strong. Will be updating soon.

Aloha. Thank you for your commentary. I appreciate it : ) I bought my A53 last year. Like you, I was looking for a SD card phone and love this option. I store my pictures, vids, and music on the micro SD card. I have a question: So, far I've never hit the software update on this phone because I'm afraid I might loose some apps, like what happens sometimes with computers, especially Windows 11. Could you tell us (me) what kind of side effects I might have if I download the Galaxy update? Just recently I'm experiencing very slow charging and did everything to try and fix it, except do the update. Thanks for a reply.

$145 with android 14 seems decent
Not sure whether to gift this or the pixel 6A for my wife

I'm using A53 5G now 1year old, sadly after update it suddenly stuck on a boot loop [I just used airplane mode], whenever I use sim card its back to bootloop again. Most people are experiencing it tho after update. Also, one thing I noticed when I send/post videos on messenger and instagram the quality got bad. Over the time, it got laggy too.

I visited center but the repair costs like buying a new phone, also the warranty is just 1year, I thought 2 years tho.

Just sharing my

I am a user of this phone if u are buying one of these phones please check for 8gb ram and not 6gb. 6gb is so trash i am not joking there is lag sometimes, ghitter and u can only sometimes have two apps on the back ground. I upgraded to one ui 6 and well more bugs have shown it self. Tbh better to buy the a54 i also have it but s23 fe exists for 300 to 400 usd recommend buying that over any mid ranger

What's a good tripod for this phone?

[Madridista-jolo]

does anyone have heating issue with this phone?

[miggytv]

I have problem in wifi connection automatic loging out the connection when it detects low connection

[Stxrgirl]

I wish I could have it but nobody wants to listen 😢

[atsixes]

This phone has the weakest signal out of all the samsung devices I've used in the past, not to mention the weak performance. I'll be upgrading in a few months

[dioptaste]

this game is garbage. when it powers on it takes 5 minutes to even be usable...it is unbearably slow. the screen is choppy all the time. it overheats so much.

T mobile will give you $20 for trade if its in great shape $10 if bad i called 8 /24'
