a53 no need compare to a52s.. worse genshin performance than A52 5g..
a53 lowest settings


a52 5g highest setting

 

[haikallp]

Its A52 5G < A53 5G < A52s 5G. Best to go with the A52s.

Exynos 1280 Samsung 5nm process but use more power compare to SD780G (using the same 5nm process), aka the brother of SD778G (TSMC 6nm process)

That correct .. tl dr .. they made A53 to look like A33 ... technically there's no need for A53 to exist ... if want a SD 778 .. wait for A73 .... yes there's a A73 that is coming in singapore ... but the screen is bigger 6.7

also .. even if you compare the overall display and feel abt A53 VS A52s .. A52s is way better in all terms ..

It's weird samsung is taking a "downgrade" path moving forward and selling at a higher price than the A52s.

I think from Samsung position A53 as a direct A52 4G/5G replacement, not as a A52s replacement. Do note that A52s did not make it into many countries, so to them A53 is indeed an upgrade.

err... A52s is the upgrade of A52. So to launch another upgrade that is of lower specs in terms of the SOC is not weird? A52s is available in many countries. Which countries do not have them?

I think it's a replacement of the A52 4G. The 4g version used a 720g and 90hz screen

 

[marcoyeo]

How about comparing M52 and A53? M52 spec is similar to A52s. Any thoughts?

 

[Rxgn]

Await for a73 to come singapore.

So, overall, the particular Samsung mid-ranger value package is still present on the A53 5G. However, Samsung didn't exactly get away scot-free with the few yet surprisingly-impactful changes it made on the A53 compared to last year's model. Namely the move to an in-house Exynos 1280 chipset instead of the tried-and-true Qualcomm solution.

The Exynos 1280 is just an all-around downgrade compared to last year's Snapdragon 778G 5G. No way around that. Not a major downgrade, but still enough to beg the obvious question - why would anyone want to get the A53 5G instead of the still-available Galaxy A52s 5G?

Only reason I can think of is that they are willing to pay for 5G plans and the A52s apparently doesn't support 5G SA according to our local telcos.
https://www.m1.com.sg/support/faq/5g-sa-faq
It's kind of confusing, cos I thought the X53 Modem for the Qualcomm 778G chipset does support SA. (Source: Wikipedia)


Qualcomm also states it supports both SA and NSA in the official chipset brief.
https://www.qualcomm.com/system/fil...gon-778g-5g-mobile-platform-product-brief.pdf
Other reason I can think of is band support - perhaps the local bands are not supported by these phone models.

Unless Samsung didn't implement it in the hardware somehow? I don't know if it's possible to enable it with a software update, though. Of course, this assumes Samsung wants to do that.
