With its Galaxy A53 5G, Samsung brings a successor to one of its best quality/price ratios of 2021. The smartphone, not without compromise, improves the performance of its elder in terms of image capture.
Not easy to succeed the Galaxy A52 and A52s. The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G displays new priorities. It takes over from them with a certain mastery in terms of ergonomics and display. The smartphone indeed has a successful Amoled screen, which therefore allows you to enjoy multimedia content pleasantly. It also has the merit of presenting a much more satisfactory photo component than that of its elders, which makes it a more versatile model. The balance sheet is on the other hand mixed with regard to power and autonomy, correct, but lower than last year. These caveats aside, Samsung has the merit of extending its promise of software updates to 4 years on this Galaxy A53 5G, no longer reserving this favor for its Galaxy S22s: its durability, which we observe carefully, does not find increased.
Strong points
- Photo component better controlled than that of the Galaxy A52.
- Amoled screen of good quality.
- IP67 certified.
- Very good finish.
Weak points
- Average graphics performance.
- Correct autonomy, but less than that of the Galaxy A52.
- Disappearance of the jack.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
All in all, the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G update in the form of the Galaxy A52s is fully justified, especially since the former is gradually disappearing from the shelves. The optimization that accompanies its chipsets hits the mark, and allows the user, subject to accommodating the small weaknesses of the A52, particularly in terms of photography, to benefit from a mid-range smartphone cut out for gaming.
