Good phone
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.It's okay. The big problem was getting phone #1 to sync with my car properly. It wouldn't. But Best Buy was open to exchanging it for phone #2. Otherwise, it has worked as expected. Phone notifications are a bit of an issue and are a bit of a chore to reset. I haven't used all the functions as I am not a big time downloader of games or videos. But the phone and Internet work just fine.

Quality phone at reasonable price.
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This is my first "smart" phone, so i have no prior experience to compare this A53 to a previous phone. It works well. It is very intuitive when typing text - a nice feature. Colors are sharp - nice pixel quality. Reasonably easy to use; loaded with a lot of apps, and easy to download additional apps. It does everything I wanted it to do. I've had it for less than two weeks, so there are a lot of features to learn that I've not yet used.

Upgrade
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Bought this for my dad to replace his old LG flip phone (3G). Still teaching him how to use it. It sometimes lags when going from one app to another, but as a mid priced smart phone it gets the job done.

Samsung Galaxy A53 review: Worth every pennyThe Samsung Galaxy A53 might just be the best cheap Android phone right now, even if the Pixel 5a's cameras outperform it. The A53 offers some of the best performance for a sub-$500 phone.

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G reviewOn paper the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G looks like the mid-range phone to beat this year, but the painfully slow Exynos 1280 chipset holds it back.

Q: QuestionIf i bought Samsung A53 at Best Buy, can they transfer info from my old phone to the new one ?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes. As long as your old device can still connect to WiFi, you can do it from your home using the "Smart Switch" app. I did it myself from home and it's very easy!
