Not worth buying

I purchased the mobile in India just for the reason its 5G and will work in USA, but its not compatible with the networks available in USA.

Product performs beyond my expectations!

The finger print scanner and multiple camera features greatly improve my everyday experience in my line of work as a local cement/masonry contractor. Wether it's scanning my thumb print to unlock my phone or approving the tap and pay feature purchasing supplies for jobs.

BEST PHONE YET!

So I upgraded to the A53 last February and I absolutely love it! It's incredibly versatile, easy to use and full of many great features that actually work really well. Like the finger print option, the camera is top notch! Crisp and clear!! So many great options that are really very cool. You have to get it to see how easy this phone is to use for all your needs! Much better than and IPhone I've ever used, not even a contest!

Best phone I've ever owned!

I've been using Motorola phones since I was a kid having my first phone, the Motorola razer back in the early 2000s and refused to swap. I got my first phone outside of that, the A53 and honestly prefer this over my Motorola. No issues, the speeds are incredibly fast, the display is super crisp as well and the performance for mobile gaming, 10/10! The battery life varies based on how you use it but it holds it charge pretty well :) I would definitely recommend this to a friend of family member. And it's a very good price too!

Cost, Functionality & Quality all in 1 Device! A++

My A53 5G has been one of the best Samsung products i've owned since the S8+! The ability to have Splitscreen Applications running simultaneously as well as pop-up apps (minimized or transparent) is just one of many revolutionary User Features on any Android! This phone is capable of much more than just about any other Android mobile device of it's Caliber/Class. It has an excellent crystal clear touchscreen display (with options to run all or selected apps in full screen with or without the selfie camera in cutout mode), A long lasting battery that charges quite rapidly. (Even running this phone 24 hours straight with multiple bluetooth devices connected I could not kill the battery) It is capable of atleast 4-5 bluetooth connections simultaneously (that i've attempted) Windows mobile PC connection works with only minor Hiccups (most likely user error related L.O.L.) Customizable Themes, Lockscreen, & AOD are Next Level! Wi-Fi, Hotspot, and USB connection features (Bonus/Hidden as well) are quite Marvelous! I use this phone for so many rolls such as; Business, Research, Diagnostics, Monitoring my Childrens' phones, Game Data, Music & Movies, etc.. and it has yet to let me down! The Camera takes Excellent quality pictures, and the video and sound quality is nothing less than expected from Samsung! Wi-Fi capability is also very impressive with reception range, strength and speed. I still uncover new and surprising features every day I use it! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Phone!!!!!

Almost one year with this device!

I began to do some research on the available models offering 5G connectivity & the most up to date security so i wouldn't have to worry about any unkown threats. The A53-5G proved to be an amazing phone with so many features; it took me more than a few months to actually experience the phones utility in its entirety. From setting up reminders to scanning QR codes, taking excellent selfies, recording some amazing clips of my dog, no contact payments & the amazing quality of playback the speakers provide when streaming some of my favorite tunes without having to fine tune any of the out-of-box settings. Almost forgot to mention how resilient the gorilla screen has proven to be, after almost a full year and no case, it continues to impress me how durable this device really is after so many shocking & excruciating encounters with the floor

Impressed with Samsung phone.

My old LG doesn't compare. This Samsung has superior camera capabilities. Much better reception, even in low-service areas, which means a lot in a rural region. I'm just all-around impressed!

New A53 5G

5G connectivity is strong, smooth and fast. Battery life is very good compared to previous models, phone doesnt heat to much while streamim or playing games. Good camera for taking photos and with smart switch bringing over your entire previous phones data and screen setup and preferences was a breeze!

This A Series preformed like an S Series.

I was in a jam because I accidentally broke my S 21 plus. I remember also I did not have the funds available to buy another one, and did not have the time to wait for repairs. So I started a search for a carrier deal that I could afford and unfortunately my carrier and none of the other carriers that service my area had anything I was looking for. But, I have to say, it's my fault because I have spoiled myself when I bought my first Samsung Galaxy S 10 plus. Then I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S 21 Ultra 5G and it became set in my mind I wouldn't own anything SmartPhone unless it starts with Samsung Galaxy S (something). Then I started hearing good things about the A series samsung had out, and how they compared to the S series flagship phones. Then I noticed that the A series was quite a bit less expensive at checkout counter. Compare to the S series it was a happy moment I wasn't expecting. So I broke my S 21 ultra 5g. The only thing I could find that had everything I needed. I could purchase right then and replace my S series work horse was the Samsung A53 5G. I am very glad I had a chance to get a hands on experience with an A series myself. It had no problems at all keeping pace with my old phone. Unfortunately there were to many problems with a contract I refused to be part of and I just would not have been happy. I did get to use the Samsung A 53 5g for one solid week, I was definitely impressed.

Really don't like it very much

Really cruddy camera. Takes lousy pictures and, goes out of focus at the very last second before it snaps the picture and after you have clicked it already to snap the photo. The speaker phone doesn't function properly, keeps on randomly turning itself off and on. Constantly tries to randomly video call the person you're texting the whole time you're trying to type. Volume constantly mutes itself so that my ringer is off and I miss a load of important calls. Very very slow and laggy (although this could be a network issue) no earphone jack. Real pain in the rear to take a screenshot. Nothing but problems with this phone from day one and, only got worse the longer I've had it. But I guess you get what you pay for. Only rich people can afford decent phones anymore. $500 - $1,000++ for a phone if you want a decent phone. Instead of sending your kids to college.

The phone is okay

I never get 5g service with this phone even though I pay for it through my carrier. Somehow someone installed parental controls on my phone and samsung has done nothing to help me out. Don't waste your money.

Best phone I've ever had by far

I'm glad to be a part of the Samsung family. I purchased a Galaxy A53 5G over a year ago and I haven't had any falters in the phone at all. The battery lasts all day even with use. The quality is very clear. The phone still moves as smoothly as it did when I first got it. I haven't run out of space. If you're looking for a phone to game on this is your phone. No lagging or freezing and very importantly there's no overheating. The camera quality is very clear. You can record in 4K and there are many different recording settings. I'd recommend this phone to anyone and I will definitely stick to the A series

Love the Increased Storage

I use my S53 for many thing. It's my connection to family and friends, news, and it's used for my work quite a lot. I take many pictures for work as well as keeping up with my Team's information. I am always in the know! And of course, there's always my online shopping. My computer and TV both broke, so my S53 phone is now my lifeline. And there's always the occasional YouTube or movie to watch.

This phone is a great! You can't beat the price!

If you can't afford to get one of the S-series devices, but still want a great phone this is the device for you. Unless you have it rite next to the S series phone you won't even notice a difference really. There were a couple times I felt like it could be faster, but I feel that way with my S22+ also at times. It is more than likely do to whatever is going on in my daily life that's making me feel that way. I'm always running late, so the phone itself is most likely performing great at usual. Helps to take a breath every once in a while. Which you will need to do if you plan on taking pictures because they can be absolutely breath taking. The picture taking capabilities this gives you access too are mind blowing.

Really hoped for better

I really wanted to love this device. Overall it has some good features. I have tried two of the same phone and they have been very slow and glitchy. My camera sometimes takes 4+seconds to take a photo after I hit the button. It also does not like to connect to anything including wifi or cell service and I'm constantly having to fix it. It's fine for people who need an affordable decent device and don't keep much on it (pics and apps)

Decent phone for the price.

I use this phone for ride share and personal use. Worth multiple apps running, of course the phone is going to be a little sluggish. I think I'm going to get an A54 since it has and extra processor for the cpu and gpu. It seems like none of the flagship devices have sd micro slots... which is what drew me to this device in the first place. That, and it is reasonably priced.

The a53 5g was an upgrade from the a51 4g and it was a huge leap forward! The screen has an astonishing display. I'm an avid photographer and my floral come out perfectly! I adore my phone! The best choice I've made in a long time!

Amazing device, absolutely surpasses the Pixels.

I Not only has my Galaxy A53 surpassed my expectations, I'm blown away by the camera and software features. My new phone is easily compatible with my earbuds and I love the safety features baked into the phone for me. I really appreciate the timely updates and ease of use. In addition, I appreciate the added touches like expandable, easily read font/keyboard size. I have multiple disabilities and this and other added features really help me in my day to day life. I hope to be able to upgrade someday when I can afford it.

The A53 5G is amazing

Personally I use this device for streaming movies and music. Dolby Atmos draws you into the movie or music by surrounding you with rich audio pleasure, immersing your senses in entertainment, while the display tickles your eyes with the smoothness and clarity of real life. The processor speed handles all of it with grace and elegance. I would recommend the A53 5G to anyone looking to love their phone.
