    Looking for a device with updated features. Found this one which has 5G connectivity. Initially. A53 Galaxy was not available in-store, had to visit store two days later to have Samsung at Best Buy restock. (Demos were present without a physical device to buy) Confusing,.. because not everyone has the time or will be at same the location for shipping. (Note: 5G phones only work with 5G towers which mean if you are using your 5G phone in a 4G/4G LTE area that is the connection that you will receive.) This is my first samsung device, software used was google not samsung. I am not sure of it's updated features. But as the media mentions it was notoriously known for preloaded bloatware on your device that does nothing but drain the battery your device. Hopefully this issue has been resolved by Samsung. Nice look. Feels good in the hands. 3 rear camera's are a bonus. Out of the box, capacity was at 50%. Reached 100% within 30 minutes.

    Really enjoying this phone. Camera quality is fantastic. Battery lasts 2 days at my level of use (calls, some texting, a favorite game and a few apps used daily). Larger screen is great for my aging eyesight, and it still fits in a jeans pocket (not that I should put it there!). I got this instead of the S21 or S22 because I got more camera and battery for the price, which were my top 2 needs. Works really well.

    My Galaxy A51 5G was showing its age. The Unlocked Galaxy A53 5G fits the bill, perfectly! Water resistance, great camera, excellent performance and battery life. Great screen! Samsung does it again. Recommended.

    I have had the same phone 2 times now. Once 2 years ago. And again this time. To be honest, i cant tell a difference between this and the s21 plus. This phone seems just as fast and has a great camera.

    The best affordable purchase I could have made for a phone that has 5G capabilities. A faster network with 128 GB space make it a perfect choice for me, not to mention the high quality video and camera performances. No regret of purchase so far.

    Got it on sale. Replaced my old moto-power with it since the processor was getting slow. Not nearly the battery life of the previous but massive screen quality increase and speed.

    Amazing display! Vivid colors, no stress on the eyes. Network reception, just about right, keeps fluctuating between 4G & 5G but no drops! Camera does a decent job, clarity & picture quality is pretty decent, just need to tweak the settings. Battery retention is just amazing with medium usage does last a good 2 days. Yea Samsung, you made fun of apple when they removed the charger from the box, good job following the footsteps. For an average user, social media, calls, text, email check, gaming (not heavy) this one is for you! Go for it.

    Looked into getting new phones and these are about the same as the s22. I read all the 1 star reviews and must say I have had no issues like they spoke of. No lag. Speed seems great. Phone has been solid. Battery lasts 2-3 days Upgraded from an LG v40 thinq.
