Samsung Galaxy A53 Long Term Review - 4 Months Later

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G Full Review - 4 Months Later
The Galaxy A53 is Samsung's intended successor to the Galaxy A52. While it looked a good upgrade on paper, it hasn't exactly been the most stable device much so it can't be recommended over its predecessor. It has been plagued by lags. 4 months later and we look at how well the Samsung Galaxy A53 has fared.

What is your experience with the Samsung Galaxy A53?

[Buckeyman]

Let me just say one thing. I used to have a S Series device, but since i've had this device since it's relese back in March from T-Mobile i can honestly say that I'll never go back to paying that much money for a phone ever again. This A-53 can do anything that a S-22 can do and the only thing better is the camera. And since i'm not a professional photographer this device and camera set up is just perfect for me as well. That being said. Unless you're just trying to keep up with the Joneses there's no reason to ever spend over a thousand dollars for a phone ever again in my opinion. I even run my small business with it as well.

This is obviously a very honest review from a true Samsung fan.

I could literally feel the pain in your voice as you were talking about the lag issues of the Galaxy A53.

Honestly, it's a very promising smartphone, but Samsung needs to completely do away with Exynos for the meantime and embrace Snapdragon while they keep working and developing Exynos in-house until it's well optimized and confident enough to go head-to-head with the others.

Even if it takes them 5 years to do so. Honestly, people are really losing confidence in Samsung phones due to the mostly performance and lag issues that their phones come with.

If the rumor that all Galaxy S23 smartphones next year will be using only Snapdragon processors turns out to be true, I'll be the happiest person on earth.

Finaly someone talks about the lags and it's performance. Every youtuber just goes silent about it.
So to summerize if samsung rolls out an optimised update it could be a real upgrade over the A52... but for how long do we have to wait...

[BeetaroniPizza]

Will you be posting another update on this phone? I was looking into getting it for the camera and heard it has a software update that helps stabilization issues

[yahayamyahwegii]

So which midrange phone will you recommend for 2022?? Because I want to upgrade my phone

[nikolagrahovec]

I want to buy a53 today so can you give me your thoughts and did they fixed lags on the phone

[fredyph]

Well it's a great phone but it has an Exynos problem is the most apt comment for a Samsung phone with Exynos. Kudos to you. On point!

[Fezwas]

Hi Izzi what do recommend a53 or the S10+

[safwanhamza]

Are the day to day lags as bad as shown in 3:34 .?

[geraldfoushee]

Izz...what is the best cellphone available in Nigeria...and what is the second best and prices??

[marifeechavez]

Hi I'm more into social media person I like taking pictures and just exploring social media is this phone worth it to buy ?

[walethegreat]

So basically the lack of consistency in gaming is not Samsung's fault but the game developers. I wanted to get the a53 as a secondary device but this is kinda pushing me away from it. If not for the camera capabilities I would have gone with the redmi.

[bababooyey]

Please is the Xiaomi poco f4 gt in Nigeria and where ? Please reply

[annagodman]

the phone needed a lot of settings tweaking but the performance is worth it
activate your developer mode, then check all the setting option
i also disabled those services and apps that i don't even use
had to sacrifice battery optimization and high refresh rate
can't wait for a pure stock android rom though..

[sergebureau]

You do not know what you are talking about ! I got an A53 since a while as my primary phone, it is very good. So stop repeating false claims.

[paulharrison]

I bought my family a £249 Samsung A53 5G this week in the Amazon sale. I also bought myself a half price as new iPhone SE 2020 a few months ago for £229. Both phones are fast enough. I prefer using the iPhones myself because it is smaller and because there is a fool proof switch to silence the iPhone is a work environment. The most I have ever paid for a phone was £399 for a Nokia 8. I would never pay more for a phone.

[u.e.u.e.]

In what point do you consider the camera of the A53 better than the one of the A52s? Sharpness? Saturation? Color tone?
I think the dynamic range of the A52s is quite good.
Please share some experience. I could buy both here in Germany. The difference is just € 26.-. 😉

[zakariyakasim]

Bro izzy pls I want to ask you samsung galaxy A73 & redmi note 11 pro plus 5G which one is better ?

[ogochukwuogbonna]

Great video! Honestly very helpful.
Please do you have any pointers as to where we can get this device for the lowest price? The cost has gone up alot from the original 225 for which it was retailing.
