Samsung Galaxy A53 review

Attractive but slow

Good cameras for price ; Attractive design ; Good-looking screen

Slow to charge ; Slow to navigate ; Battery life could be better

An attractive phone with a good-looking screen and impressive cameras for the price, the Samsung Galaxy A53 offers good value for money overall; but with its slow charging and stuttery performance, it’s not for everyone.

Hands on: Samsung Galaxy A53 5G review

Don't dismiss this potential best-seller

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G review: Face value

We test how the latest mid-range Samsung phone stacks up against its predecessor and the rest of the competition.

Solid design ; Impressive display ; MicroSD card slot ; IP67 water and dust resistance ; Much better value than the Galaxy S22

No 3.5mm headphone socket ; The UI can stutter ; The ultrawide camera isn't as good as the primary

The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G hits all the important spec points, with a great design and display. There's no shortage of mid-range phones that provide a similar experience for less - and this is no big jump from the A52 - but there are still some very...

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G review: slow close

Samsung's affordable 5G offering distils the Galaxy S22 down - but its great features are held hostage by lag

Stellar screen ; Capable cameras

So sluggish ; Cheaper rivals are smoother

Lag wreaks havok on this otherwise great smartphone, making it as frustrating as it is impressive

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G review

On paper the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G looks like the mid-range phone to beat this year, but the painfully slow Exynos 1280 chipset holds it back.

Stylish design ; Great display ; Impressive cameras ; Excellent software support

Extremely sluggish performance ; Slow charging ; No charger included

The Galaxy A53 is a brilliant mid-range phone, with an excellent display, top camera, and software support bested only by Apple. But it suffers from one massive flaw: poor performance. At this price a phone shouldn't be so slow, and it makes the A53...

Samsung Galaxy A53 review: the stand-out mid-range smartphone of 2022?

On the hunt for an affordable mid-range phone? The new Samsung Galaxy A53 could be the perfect fit.

Great value ; 120Hz display ; Well designed with nice look and feel ; Expandable storage ; IP67 rating ; Good battery life

No plug adaptor or fast charger in box ; No wireless charging facility ; Plastic build

The Samsung Galaxy A53 is the best sub-£400 mid-range phone on the market right now, by our reckoning.

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G hands-on review: our first impressions

We got hands-on time with Samsung's new mid-range phone, the A53 5G, ahead of its release. Read on for our first impressions and to see how it compares to the competition. Plus, we take a look at the upcoming A33 too.

Good specs for the price ; 120Hz display ; Solid processor ; Sleek design

Handset feels slightly cheap in places

We've only had a short time with the Samsung Galaxy A53 and A33 handsets, but the first impressions are good. We like what we've seen and the specs sheet looks more than promising.
