Not half bad

Posted: Aug 10, 2022, 3:25 AM

Phone owned for less than 3 months

The Galaxy a53 5g is a very good phone in every area besides for performance. Performance is not at all slow, but it doesn't feel as snappy as I imagine the pixel 6a does (though gaming on the Galaxy a53 5g is somehow excellent). But otherwise, this phone is great - it feals great in the hand, has a beautiful display, excellent battery life, and a fun software. Considering that Samsung phones are very prone to deals and sales, you'll probably be able to pick up this phone for much cheaper than the pixel 6a, which makes for a much better value. I, for example, picked up this phone from Boost Mobile for just $149 - without any trade-in required.
