sorted by- Ok deal but a52s is actually better in most ways lol
- Look guys.
You can buy off ebay s7 edge for ~30 quid.
399-170=229.
Some lucky ones can also use:
-10% codes
-7.5% increased quidco cashback
-5% samsung pay+ cashback.
In total you will pay ~185 quid + the price of S7 edge.
Oh and don't forget free buds live.
Is it really that bad?
For myself the only disaster is lack of charger.
Edit:
trade-in prices dropped by £30 pounds. (edited) FunkiestMonkey18/03/2022 10:03

The A52 was a bit sluggish and way of the competition
A53 begins life already off the competition (edited)- I don't think there's any reason to get this over the A52s 5G. SD778G better than the Exynos in most respects. Comparison link here for those interested. Factoring in 2nd hand/discount prices on the A52s really makes the A53 look like a bad addition to a line of phones that's been very popular in the midrange market.
Edit: wait, they really shipped this without a headphone jack? Congrats, midrange phones, you're officially expensive enough to lose the headphone jack! (edited) julian_williams_198817/03/2022 23:17
Where was the a73???
Not announced yet will be in coming weeks- Personally the A52s 5G is a better deal if your looking to getting a phone in this area I have the A52s 5G myself got no complaints

This is via epp or student portal.
Yea I realised that when I clicked back couple of times was auto logged in....
Thanks for update :)))
After watching couple reviews I'm leaning towards a33 looks same phone but cheaper and specs seem the same apart from camara ...

If Samsung wanted a smart phone then the site should have said Any smartphone. Still, I guess not worth risking...
Absolutely right, I'll look into this and contact Samsung. Need to know as week. It gives the impression its any phone, even with zero value. I'll update this chat.MrSwitch17/03/2022 22:27

Camera setup on a52s is better plus it's cheaper and headphone jack (edited)- No headphone jack, no charger, average CPU (2 medium + 6 small cores), but at least comes in peach color
- A52s would 100% be my choice
Has a faster SOC, headphone jack , charger in box , only thing you're losing out on is more updates ComingInHot17/03/2022 22:42

NO WiFi 6 also !- I don't think this phone was needed the a52s is a better all rounder
- Well £170 trade-in value for working or non-working S7 edge is a good offer:) (edited)
- OnePlus Nord 2 is a better phone with a much slicker bloat free skin and cheaper

It's cheaper because its been out 9 months, see what the prices are like on the A53 in 9 months time I guess.
Headphone jack most can take or leave these days. - Pretty much the best midrange phone out there judging by reviews. Hot deal
- I hit negative by accident , I wish hukd would put that reverse feature back , we all have little accidents in life . Hot from me anyway for a brand new latest edition Sammy .

I think it might be worth upgrading to the a52s rather than a53. Am I wrong? I can't see anywhere that says why a53 is superiorMrSwitch17/03/2022 22:27

Nope.- £180 trade in on a Mate 20 pro

A52s 5G is £295 right now from CEX at A Grade. I don't see why you'd pay £100 more for a phone that is negligibly better at best and take the risk on the very hit-or-miss Buds Live, especially given they hit £50-70 regularly when posted here.
julian_williams_198817/03/2022 23:17
Where was the a73???
Looks like they're moving the A52s 5G to the A73 line and slapping a 108MP main camera sensor on there. (edited)- What an anti climax. Bought a51 and a52 past years but going by comments this isn't an improvement over a52s
- Would be great for a mid range phone but no wireless charging is deal breaker for me.

Yeah, doubt it mate - Trade in values already reduced.

And if you need headphone jack and expandable memory can go for the one plus nord ce2 - The selection of trade in phones are a bit strange- I’d happily trade in my S10 Lite for £190 to get this phone.

Me too, 4 year old phone but no reason to upgrade it yet- Thanks @MrSwitch Opted for this as my dad has an old S8 so £250 with the trade in and free air buds. Can't complain (edited)
- Anonymous UserThanks OP!
I've ordered this on Klarna with 0% finance. Trading in my XZ1 Compact so £50 discount. Not bad for £8.03 per month after paying a little deposit to Klarna.
Time to buy case and charger from Amazon, cheaper than SAMSUNG website lol
