Set up with Cyrillic script!

Set up with Cyrillic script!
The phone was set up for Kazakh users with the label and screen messages in Cyrillic script perhaps explaining the excellent price. Downloaded the Samsung User Manual and managed to find the setting that controlled the operating language to switch to English. Was charged enough to do the initial set up while waiting for a separate USB-C plug to arrive. Will now take some time sorting through passwords and aps but the transfer of stuff from the old Samsung went well - I think.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Samsung Galaxy A53 has proven to be a worthy upgrade from my Galaxy M31
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2023
Colour: Awesome BlackVerified Purchase
I recently switched to the A53 from my Samsung Galaxy M31, primarily due to the need for 5G connectivity, since the M31 only supported 4G or lower. Let me start by saying that both phones are exceptional considering their price points. However, the A53 has proven to be a significant upgrade from my trusty M31.

One standout feature of the A53 that has left me thoroughly impressed is its front-facing fingerprint reader. Unlike the M31, which had its fingerprint sensor on the back, the A53's placement on the front feels more intuitive and convenient. It's a small change, but it makes a big difference in day-to-day usage.

Another area where the A53 shines is its screen clarity. Whether I'm streaming Netflix or watching YouTube videos, the display quality is top-notch. The visuals are crisp and vibrant, providing an immersive viewing experience that's hard to match in this price range.

In terms of performance, the A53 has proven to be noticeably faster and more responsive than my M31. Apps load swiftly, multitasking is a breeze, and overall, it just feels snappier in everyday use. This improved performance has added to my overall satisfaction with the phone.

To complete my experience, I paired the A53 with a Spigen Rugged Armor Phone Case. This combination not only provides excellent protection but also enhances the overall look and feel of the phone. It's become the perfect setup for me, ensuring my device stays safe while still looking stylish.

In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy A53 has proven to be a worthy upgrade from my Galaxy M31. With its front-facing fingerprint reader, impressive screen clarity, and enhanced performance, it has exceeded my expectations. If you're in the market for a budget-friendly smartphone with excellent features, the A53 is definitely worth considering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replaces another that became a problem when local masts all failed
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2022
Colour: Awesome BlackVerified Purchase
This offers both 5G and 4G use and also Wi-Fi Connect should normal use be impossible. That was an issue with its predecessor when several local masts either failed or were vandalised so that normal reception became impossible; it also ended Broadband connectivity until repaired. It did not allow Wi-Fi Connect (few of their models do) so was effectively unusable for several days. At best, signal strength was only one bar and drop-outs were frequent and annoying, especially if mid-call.

The phone's features are good and although an update for the A52S, it came with Android 11 installed (the 52S has Android 12) but it later was updated to 12. There is some Samsung bloatware that some may need (probably not all of it) but they can be deleted.

Transfer of data from my old phone was made easy by Samsung (via apps - one installed on the A53 but its partner had to be downloaded onto the old phone); it took about 30-40 minutes.

The battery life seems good and far better than on the older phone - unless heavily used, it should be good for a couple of days at least - four is easily possible with a few calls and messages etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great speakers!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2023
Colour: Awesome BlackVerified Purchase
You can't go wrong with Samsung however there seems to be a lot of stutter lag with this phone I'm Not saying its bad but I have an s20 fe and I can tell the difference....
The speakers however if you are into media these are a treat.... I wouldn't pay more than £300 for it however

'i wouldnt pay over £300 for any device claiming budget...... They will either remove features or it will be laggy due to the low cou/gpu.
And I wouldn't buy a mid tier handset for around £500 to £600 it would be better to just pay for a premium handset or one under ��300 from. A Chinese manufacture in my opinion value for money will be something like the nothing phone 1 that only skimps on a few things but I like the customised skin on Samsung.....

Ein tolles Gerät für alt und Jung.
Ich habe es meine Oma zum Siebzigsten Geburtstag gescheckt.
Es lässt sich echt einfach bedienen und auch dank des großen Display (16,5cm).
Die Einrichtung war relativ leicht und es waren schon alle Apps vorhanden die man braucht, die Kamera macht auch super Fotos und telefonieren kann man übrigens auch noch damit 😄.
