It is hard to dislike a new device. Most people need a $450 phone and this one is the only one they need. It is a bit drab, but if you don't want your phone to stick out like a sore thumb, it is a great affordable option.
The game is called A Game.
If you put the A52 5G next to the A53 5G, it will be hard to tell them apart. The removal of the headphones jack and the lack of a charging accessory in the box are two areas where the new A53 might not be up to par. These trends started with high-end flagships and are now trickled down, which some users are not happy about.
The features that matter most are achieved by the A53 5G. For example, take the screen. During sunny days in New York, the 6.5-inch screen on the Pixel phone is brighter than the display on the other phones. It has a 120-Hz screen refresh rate, so scrolling through apps and the interface feels responsive and smooth, just make sure to turn this on in the settings menu.
The large screen is good for my paws, and the slim design helps for smaller hands. Stereo speakers that sound great are included. I have been able to catch up on shows on the couch with this phone, even though my TV has been broken for a week.
The real-world battery life is the same as last year, but it has a 5,000-mAh cell. I push it hard on days when it hits 30 percent by midnight. It hangs around 50 to 45 percent by the end of the day, leaving enough juice for most of the following day. Both phones offer two full days of battery life.
This is one of the few phones in the US that uses the home grown processor, the Exynos 1280, and it has 6 gigabytes of RAM. It's a shame because Benchmark tests show its performance is the same as its predecessor. Just like last year's version, the A53 5G handles most everyday tasks just fine. There are situations where you will huff and puff as you wait for it to load up directions on the internet. I don't recall being so frustrated with the Pixel 5A.
The good news? The A53 will get more upgrade and security updates than its rival. I still don't understand how a company that runs an operating system can allow it to eat lunch. It will get patched until 2027 because it will get four OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates. That is stunning for a sub-$450 phone.
The software is fine. I miss the clean experience of the software on the phones I test. The interface design is not my favorite. You can change a lot of this via third-party apps.
The cameras.
There is a picture of Julian Chokkattu.
The main camera of the A53 5G. The following image has been compared to this photo. The building is brighter than what it looked like in real life.
Most cameras on phones cost less than $600. The exception has been the A-series phones, which have yet to dethrone the dominance of the company. The new model of camera system from the company is pretty satisfactory, though it is not quite reaching the heights of the previous model.
The main camera can take detailed photos during the day. The problem is the colors. On a rainy day, take a photo of the fire escape. The shade of the building in the photo is lighter than it was in the real world, which is closer to reality. The A53 5G's images suffer a bit in high-contrast scenes. You still get great photos when the sun is setting. They don't have the sharpness or color accuracy of thePixel 5A.
