MobilityArena Buyer’s Guide Verdict

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is a well-spec’d mid-range Android smartphone – the kind of phone you buy if you do not want to spend money on a premium flagship model. It is well-built, has good performance, and good cameras. While performance is not poor, we wish that Samsung used a punchier processor instead of the Exynos 1280, which is a downgrade from the Snapdragon 778G 5G used in its predecessor, Samsung Galaxy A52s. If you are particular about not downgrading on performance, Samsung Galaxy A73 5G is equipped with Snapdragon 778G 5G, for a little more.

Our Buyer’s Guide Verdict is a recommendation based on the specs of the device and a general guide to help you understand how much value a device offers for its price. It is not an endorsement of the device.
