Samsung Galaxy A53 5G review: Safe, sensible, and a must-buy

The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G may not be that different from its predecessor, but it's still the go-to for anyone wanting a premium phone at a good price.

Pretty design IP67 water-resistance Camera is great for social media Vibrant screen Two-day battery life

Performance can be sluggish Not an upgrade to the A52 and A52S

“While it's not a massive upgrade to its predecessor, the Galaxy A53 5G is capable and pretty, comes with Samsung's assurance of quality, and is available at a reasonable price.”

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G review

Samsung has been maintaining a particularly strong Galaxy A series of devices for some time now. It has been iterating and improving its value proposition...

Stylish, standout design, IP67 rating.

Still priced a bit too high compared to viable alternative devices.

Taking all of this into account, we just can't bring ourselves to outright recommend anybody go out and deliberately seek an A53s 5G. Again, at the risk of repeating ourselves, it's a solid and well-rounded Samsung that won't disappoint in any major...

Samsung Galaxy A53 vs Galaxy S21 FE: what to expect

The Galaxy A53 might be the ultimate budget phone of 2022, but the S21 FE is just $200 more expensive yet brings a vastly more powerful flagship-grade chip. What other differences are there, and should you save some money and go with the A53, or get...

Galaxy A53 5G review: This impressive sub-$500 Android may finally kill flagships for you | ZDNet

Samsung's latest upper mid-range smartphone punches above its $450 price and after a few weeks with it I'm left wondering why I spend twice the amount on flagship smartphones.

Affordable price ; Solid battery life ; Reliable cellular performance ; Lovely display ; Good camera results

Occasional performance lag

Samsung Galaxy A53 review: Worth every penny

The Samsung Galaxy A53 might just be the best cheap Android phone right now, even if the Pixel 5a's cameras outperform it. The A53 offers some of the best performance for a sub-$500 phone.

But right now, I’m confident in saying that the Galaxy A53 is the best cheap Android phone. The iPhone SE (2022) is more powerful, but the A53 has the bigger and brighter display (plus a higher refresh rate). The ultrawide camera and dedicated night...
