Coming from an A7 2017 model, this phone is incrementally great. Its not a huge difference but the main issue today is really OS and security updates end thus forcing a new phone. Because of using Samsung SmartTags, I likely cannot use a custom rom. If it wasn't for that, the A7 2017 really isn't that far from this. That's something I can now test.
The A53 has a surprisingly better speaker. Really loud and sounds like it's coming from the front instead of the bottom where it is. Actually, seems they also use the call speaker as well to output sound which is on the top.
The camera is a bit better of course. It's good enough. I'm no camera snob or you better be buying the most expensive phones if you ask me. Has macro function. Also does a good job focusing.
The fingerprint reader is about the same once enabling it to always show on the always on display (AOD) and I set AOD to always show as well.
The screen is good. There's no wild difference other than marketing.
Battery seems about the same in limited testing (my A7 still gets about 48 hours with AOD enabled and some use). The battery saving special modes can add up to days of battery life mostly on standby. So in theory up to 7 days. The A7 has this feature and its great for no power emergencies. Looks like a bit differently implemented on the A53 but still have to properly test it. I know for a fact that Android devices can last up to 12 days on standard batteries as I have one that does. A much bigger screen, etc at 7 days standby is wonderful. My numbers for sleep drainage show it might even make it without the battery saver.
But, the A53 battery will take some weeks or months to properly see how the battery does. Interesting, point AOD here has no auto off (and on) while down or in a pocket which is crazy. That instantly saves battery and is crazy they no longer have it. Instead they have schedule so you can at least get a partial worse effect of it at night when sleeping or tap to show, etc. The A7 thus gets me only total 3-4% drain at night even with AOD enabled. So far, the A53 with AOD always enabled sees 3% for 7 hours overnight. Looks like 4% per 8 hours. This is for my setup. Your's may differ.
Actually, one of the best improvements appears to be the cellular connection. It appears to be 2-3 bars stronger than the A7. Since the A7 was typically at 1 bar for me, it would often not receive calls, delayed messages, etc. So far, I'm receiving everything. This was a main issue I always had with the A7. Easily exceeding everything else the phone offers.
By the way, I'm using the A7 wall charger here. It's 15 watts. That's fine. The A53 just charges 10 watts slower than the maximum. I see no need for now to spend more for that. It just charges a bit slower. As I edited in earlier, don't expect Samsung include them now with their phones. The A53 does not come with one for anyone who thinks it does. Neither does their more expensive models this year.
So far not seeing any issues. I'm happy with it. But, there's far too many features anymore. Takes a lot of time. I'd still be almost as happy though with the A7 if it wasn't trashed by the phone manufacturers like they are. But, if you need a phone, this one is a great choice. I highly doubt that will change here. You also get up to 4 years OS upgrades and 5 years security which increases the value of this phone over many manufacturers.
Bug: AOD stuck at full brightness in the dark thus consuming more battery. SOLVED: The eye comfort shield (what they call the software blue screen filter for night time that makes the screen yellowish) causes AOD to have problems dimming when both are running.
Now about Amazon's trade-in policy...in a word...it sucks. I traded an S8 for $25. The phone was always in a case with a screen protector. For a 5 year old phone it still worked and the screen was in perfect condition, no scratches and not cracked. However, Amazon lowered the trade-in value to $11. WHAT THE @#$%. They said it was reduced because the screen was cracked (it wasn't). So either the inspector is lying, the inspector dropped the phone, or the inspector reviewed the wrong phone. And there's no recourse. After two chat sessions and two phone calls, not one person understood the problem. And they couldn't refer me to whomever reviews the trade-ins.
If you're considering trading an item to Amazon, trader beware. They may short-change you, and if they do, you'll have no avenue to dispute the trade value.
This is a dual sim model or single sim, single memory card model. That corrects one of the deficiencies that kept me from buying Samsung again years ago--the lack of expanded memory.
The fingerprint scanner is under the front glass. It seems to work well, but I'm still getting the hang of learning where to press--that isn't obvious until you try to press in the wrong location, at which time the display will show you. Being under glass has the advantage of the FP scanner not getting dirty--a problem I had with the Pixel 4a. I'm not finding being on the front rather than rear to be a big deal.
This is may be my first ever non-Snapdragon Android phone, or at least the first in a long time. I find it very responsive, but the efficiency is yet to be determined due to a lot of daily use just setting up the phone and signing into apps, etc. But three days in it appears I'll only need to be charging the phone every 2 or 3 days, depending on whether I have the phone limit charging to 85%.
There are a few things missing. No headphone jack, something I never used once on the Pixel 4a and something missing from a lot of phones. Also it ships with a USB-C cable but no charging brick--not a big deal, and also something becoming more common.
Finally, like the 4a, this A53 is made in Vietnam. I consider that an advantage over made in China for [pick one of many reasons]. Also, Samsung's security update policy is very good, reportedly going 5 years from the March release, which was the reason I didn't look for other 5G midrange phones more the size of the Pixel 4a.
