Pros and Cons

Pros1

Bought this phone specifically hoping for water & bomb-proof construction and huge battery. One thing i would change is the charging.

Pros5

This phone truly is a budget friendly version of a flagship phone. As far as i can tell, it works quite nicely. Highly recommend if your looking for a galaxy phone and don't want to spend $1000.

The fingerprint reader works well and you can put more than one finger to use. The screen sensitivity is incredible and the fingerprint detection is wonderful! The finger print reader can be a little bit of a hit and miss, however i have it where the ...  Read More

Smooth scrolling with the 120hz mode. Clean and user friendly menu panel and display that that knocks competitors out of the park!

I have been very pleasantly surprised by the camera on this phone. Voice is the best i've ever experienced and even on speaker phone both parties can hear clearly. Battery life is superb in power saving mode. Can't wait to use this phone!

Samsung galaxy a53 5g a is an awesome phone! Works smoothly and 5g fast. G coverage is almost always present in my metro area. No problems setting it up with my carrier.

What kind of idiocy is this? This stinks. How misleading and dishonest is samsung's excuse?

The dual sim card slot is as vestigial as hips on a snake, useless.

Camera quality is fine, but the shutter lags so badly that you will miss any and all pics where the subject isn't dead still. It's difficult to unlock by feel, you have to look at your phone to make sure you are completely on the sensor.

Error on sd card, must reformat! A few hours later, it says sd card inserted! One minute it reads, next minute error! Samsung does nothing except say do some resets which do not work.
