About this deal

RAM and internal memory capacity may vary carrier. Actual storage availability may vary depending on pre-installed software. If you’re ok with that, this mid-range Samsung phone should be on your wish list. But if you prefer performance over photography or want something a little faster, there are better options out there for you. Samsung’s Pro Video mode is also here, which gives you all the options of Pro photo, including ISO and white balance, but for video. Not all of the S22 Ultra’s features are here though, as that flagship phone also lets you tweak the zoom settings on various lenses, and choose what area the microphone is recording from. S Pen Pro and S Pen Fold Edition sold separately. Only use the Samsung S Pen Pro or the S Pen Fold Edition designed exclusively for Galaxy Z Fold3 5G. All other S Pens or stylus pens not designed for Galaxy Z Fold3 5G (including those by other manufacturers) may damage the screen.

Alternatives that you might want to consider include the aforementioned Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus, the cheaper Samsung Galaxy A33, and - if you're not on such a tight budget - the premium Samsung Galaxy S22, among others.

Attractive but slow

Audio availability requires a software update via the Galaxy Wearable app starting from March 30 th, 2022. While a day of use isn’t bad, mid-range phones often have fantastic battery lives, so the A53 feels a little limited. There were only a few days when we almost ran out of power while out and about, but that was enough to give us a sense of battery anxiety.This was particularly pronounced when we first started testing the phone, but it diminished over time. If you’re reading this review after just buying the thing, don’t worry – things will get better. Still, we admit that after weeks of using the A53, it still felt slower than we would have liked. There’s Samsung Pay, Gallery, Store and more, but those all have Google counterparts – Pay, Photos and Play Store. There are far more apps that dot the menus when you set up the phone, like Samsung Free, which offers a few free games, books, podcasts and TV shows; Global Goals, which just tells you what Samsung’s company goals are; and some third-party ones like Booking.com, LinkedIn and Microsoft Office. No responsibility is taken for the correctness of this information. The listed offers do not constitute legally binding advertising claims of the merchants. On the front of the phone is a 32MP f/2.2 selfie camera, and this, like the rear camera, is pretty great for a mid-range phone. Snaps looked bright and vibrant, whether we were in sunny or dimmer conditions. If we have a gripe, it’s that the Bokeh in Portrait shots wasn’t always that noticeable; other than that, selfies looked great. Unfortunately, charging this phone up to full takes a painfully long time. In a world with super-budget 80W and 120W charging smartphones, the Galaxy’s 25W just doesn’t cut it.

When we put the phone through the Geekbench 5 benchmark test, it returned a multi-core score of 1813, which puts it just below the Oppo Find X2 Lite, OnePlus Nord and Honor 9X Pro, three other mid-range phones that all came out in late 2019 or early 2020. So, not great. Images shown here are for representational purpose only, actual may vary. All features, specifications and prices are subject to change without prior notice. Model availability may vary from location to location. On paper, the A53 has the same display as the A52, but we put both phones side-by-side and found the newer one to be a little lighter – that could be because of tweaks Samsung made to its own displays, or possibly the impact of many months of use on the older phone. The Samsung Galaxy A53 may lap same-price rivals in the camera and display departments, but it falls far behind when it comes to performance. The chip here is the Exynos 1280, which is a home-brewed piece of mid-range kit from Samsung – and it leaves a lot to be desired. The new Galaxy A series is expertly crafted to be fashionable, functional, and sustainable. The device’s slim bezel creates a smooth, stylish look and Ambient Edge design seamlessly blends the camera with the body of the phone. Both devices feature the tough Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 and IP67 [6] water and dust resistance, providing enhanced durability and peace of mind.Measured diagonally, the screen size is 6.4″ in the full rectangle and 6.2″ accounting for the rounded corners. The actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners and the camera cut-out. Measured diagonally, the screen size is 16.40cm (6.5") in the full rectangle and 16.09cm (6.3") accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners and the camera cutout.
