Samsung A53 Phone

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2023

I originally placed an order for the Samsung A52 Smartphone. Unfortunately, after I placed the order, Amazon sent a message saying that they would email me when it ships. The message said that items normally ship within 3 to 5 days. After waiting a week, the person I spoke with at Amazon stated that the product was currently unavailable and they didn't know when or if it will be back in stock. If I had known that I would have gone some place else to purchase it. They refunded my money onto a gift card that can only be used on Amazon's website. The main reason I wanted the Samsung A52 was because it was one of the few phones that still had a headphone jack. Reluctantly I ordered the Samsung A53. For the most part the phone has worked well and fits
my needs.
Pros - takes great pictures, has double speakers so you can actually hear what people are saying while streaming content from various apps, it has an excellent sized screen with vibrant colors, you can buy an adapter that plugs into the charging port so you can listen to content through headphones it has a slot for a mini SD card for added storage and it gets fully charged fast. Cons - making calls over wifi sometimes you can hear people but they can't hear you, if you are listening to headphones through an adapter the sound will cut out and you have to unug the adapter/headphones and plug it back in, figuring out how to take a screenshot on the phone as well as restarting or turning off the power can be confusing and sometimes the phone will freeze and you have to restart it.

Good if considering the price

The media could not be loaded.

Well I'm used to S or Note series.. Then at that time i wanted to cut budget so got this A53,
It's OK but not as any galaxy S..
I always have 2 phones, had Note5 & S8, then replaced the Note 5 with this..
Now replacing my S8 i went back to S-series & got S23.
* The camera zoom is High but results in a VERY BLURED vision that u can't tell the features, use little or no zoom.
* The sound is relatively low on calls or listening to the audios..
Other than that it's good.
Remember it's not a fair comparison UNTIL you compare PRICES 😀

Just a phone

I had to get a 5g phone, no thanks to ATT. I was very suspicious of the free one they sent, so I bought this.
It's ok. I am not a phone person, just use it because one has to these days. I have been sticking to Samsung, so I looked at the reviews and this seemed as good as any.

I am very happy with my cell phone, it makes videos and takes beautiful photos, they have features that make everything so easy and fast, it also came with the buds ear, since the cell phone does not have an input for headphones.

DO NOT BUY!

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2022

Style: A53 + Buds LiveColor: Black

I bought my A53-5g on May 24, 2022. On June 2 I was sitting on a picnic bench, the phone slid out of my pocket, fell about 15 inches, and the screen shattered! I returned it to Samsung for a screen replacement (on which they misquoted the price by almost $100). After a few days I called to get the status and the operator gave me a "new" repair price of almost $150. At that time I complained that that wasn't the price I was quoted and suggested she listen to the recording of my first call (which she wouldn't do). I also started to tell her that I never broke a phone before in my life and that I thought there may be a defect in this phone. She rather rudely cut me off in the middle of my trying to describe the issue and said that she was just going to return it to me unrepaired so I gave in and agreed to the higher price. Before I got the phone back I bought an Otterbox "Trusted Glass" screen protector for $37.04 after shipping and taxes and I also bought a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G S-View Wallet Cover case for $42.39. It folds like a book to protect the screen. Today (8/19/2022) I noticed the screen is cracked again. This time nothing happened to it. If you do buy this phone be sure and opt out of Samsung's arbitration agreement within ten days of your purchase in case there is a future class action suit against Samsung for this fragile piece of junk.

The dumbest smartphone I've owned

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2022

Style: A53 + Buds LiveColor: Black

This phone is the opposite of intuitive. It automatically goes dark even though I've put the setting repeatedly on a 10-minute standby - so during phone calls, it will go dark and you wouldn't be able to use the keyboard unless you take a few steps to bring the light on. I've lost a few calls because of this. Same thing if you step away for a minute - you'd have to take a few steps to bring it back on because just putting your fingerprint for the first time won't do it. Maybe 3 times before it recognizes it and returns your screen to normal. Very, very laggy and glitchy. There are just so many reasons why I regret buying this phone, and it will just aggravate me to list them. Even my first smartphone back in the 2000's was smarter and more intuitive than this one. I cannot wait to get another phone so I can just use this one as a paperweight.

Amazing product

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2022

Style: A53 + Buds LiveColor: Black

The phone is definitely user friendly. I love the speed, battery life and ease it is to use the phone. So many amazing features. Camera quality is immaculate.

The earbuds it came with are nice, my husband uses them at work, and they're very durable. I'm about sure he has dropped them several times on the warehouse floor and they still sound, look and work like new. When you lose an earbud it can play a sound to help you find it.
