Pros and Cons

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.

Pros5

Great battery life, great camera, great shake on flashlight. Previously worked on a rescue squad and all pagers, etc.

The 48 mega-pixel camera on this moto g is nicer and easier to use. One complaint is that they originally had a piece on the back that you could add things on to such as a projector or speaker. They switched to pinch zoom instead of sliding up or down...  Read More

No bloatware as compared to verizon phone. Now it's just my alarm since it's the loudest phone i have. I moto phones and this one is really nice.

Fingerprint unlock is now on the power button side, instead of on the motorola logo on back. The battery on these is amazing, it lasts longer than my work iphone and my galaxy. The phone has a bigger screen than my lg. Expandable micro sd card.

Wifi ac max transfer of 30mbytes/s, similar to the z3playusb 2 transfer rate at 20mbytes/s. Going from the 2020 verizon version to this unlocked silver 2021.

Cons1

Camera is worthless for anything other than spurring memories, as shots are focused only when you keep the photo camera-sized. When the network freezes up, the entire phone seems like it's frozen in time. If you don't have connectivity, the phone fail...  Read More
