The Galaxy A53 is one of the best phones you can buy for less than $500, at least until Google’s Pixel 6a arrives and we can test that phone’s cameras. But even then, you’ll appreciate the fast refreshing display and expandable storage that the Galaxy A53 has to offer. Many phones in the A53’s price range don’t offer a fast refresh rate, and a lot of phone makers are sacrificing microSD expansion slots.

The Galaxy A53 kept pace with the Pixel 5a in our camera testing, even if it couldn’t quite match the output of the Google phone. Battery life is average at best, though the Exynos 1280 chipset powering the A53 can keep pace with other midrange Android devices. All told, you get a lot of value for your $449, with the Galaxy A53 requiring minimal trade-offs for its low price tag.
