    Got this for my husband to replace his old Galaxy A11. Affordable, has nice features and takes good pictures. He's not much of the type to be constantly on his phone or use social media much so this phone was perfect for him. Plenty of space and capable of doing most everything the expensive phones can do for less than half the cost

    I had this phone for a short period of time before we switched providers and ended up getting a free s-23. But the time frame that I had this phone, it worked just fine. As a matter of fact I still have it and I plan to go back to it if my s23 ever craps out

    Very fast and has a really great screen. My only complaint is the side buttons are different than every other android device I've had so I have to get used to pressing the bottom button to wake up the phone.

    I got talked into buying this phone instead of the Motorola phone I usually buy and had for 6 years before it finally fizzled out. The thing I liked about this Samsung phone was that it has enormous storage and 5G along with the price point being reasonable. The features are similar to my old Motorola Droid so I think it will be just fine.

    Great phone for a great price! Not a super power but just a really good quality basic smart phone. Perfect for seniors who want tech, but don't really know how to use it!!

    Works great if you want a phone that takes good photographs and runs smooth. Not as good as the S series phones, but does the job.

    I went for the Verizon activation to save $$$. I don't suggest delivery if the phone is in a near store - my experience was an inexplicable mess where an in-stock phone would never ship and I couldn't get customer service to cancel the order. I went and got the phone instore, and the online order eventually canceled itself. I like the phone a lot, but I was coming from a pretty old Motorola. I wanted something that was fast enough and included the full range of Verizon 5G bands. I don't need a flagship phone, just one that works well and gets security updates for a reasonable lifecycle. This one promises both.

    Seems to be a great phone….bought mine after the wife has had her A53 for 4 months without issue. It does everything I need….clear calls, email, text, some apps, minimal pics….I do not need a “higher level” phone, especially for $200-500 more. Resisted giving up my 2015 Note5, as it gave me no issues…but noted some apps couldn’t be loaded due to lack of update support and security features were also not supported (since 2019). Battery life and camera are better than my old Note5, lol.

    Purchased this smart phone when it went on sale for a family member. It works great for what they need it for which is making phone calls and using a few apps. The camera works great and it has the capability of memeory expansion.

    New phone for the oldest daughter of 13 years old. Great value for a budget phone without all the top of the line features. Reliable and sturdy for when she drops it, which she does often.

    The phone is really good quality and easy to learn to use. The battery of this Samsung A53-5g last longer than 24 hours before another charge. We chose to buy the phone at Best Buy because the salesman Michael is very knowledgable in cell phone products and services. Michael is also very friendly, courteous and patient.

    Very happy with the Galaxy A53. The phone has a very sharp screen. The phone works great: calls and messages complete perfectly, the speaker is clear, the battery life is good, the camera takes clear photos and has many options, bluetooth works well. The phone is a nice size and has a solid feel. The price was very reasonable.
