Why would the newer and presumably better (even if only by a little) Samsung Galaxy A53 5G be cheaper than the older A52 5G? I've seen this on quite a few websites including Samsung's official website. And their customer service representative was clueless and of no help on this question (or any other for that matter. I've tried a few times over the years for various questions).
It's quite strange.
It shouldn't be. But either way, both of them are good value.
The A52 has a headphone jack. The A53 has 5000mAH battery. Depends on which you prioritize.

Which is why I suspect that maybe there's something about the A53 being inferior to the A52 that they're not telling us.
In fact, I would really like to get the A52, if only there was somewhere that had it reasonably priced...

the soc is exynos instead of snapdragon, might be why.

it's cheaper for samsung to make an equivalent performance exynos than to buy a snapdragon, because qualcomm sells them for a higher price to make a profit.
for what it's worth, the soc in the a53 is between the a52 and a52s in terms of performance.

Well that explains it! So the older phone is the better performing one (even if just by a little). How smart of Samsung!
Performance is my number one priority item when looking for a new phone. (Smaller size is also important to me, but sadly all the budget phones today are so massive.)

the a53 isn't the successor to the a52s. that comes later in the year, and will be more expensive than the a53. probably with a 780g or some unreleased SD or exynos chip that's a bit better.

yep. more profit for them. cheaper = more phones sold (in general). more phones sold = higher production, which means lower cost per unit, combined with more profits from more units sold = more
If there was supply issues with the regular A52 5G and A52 4G phones, why couldn't they just produce more of them instead of creating a new version (A52s) entirely?

Got a point I guess we got to wait until the 16th to see the specs of the phone......
There was a user on here who had posted a screenshot of an att version and he claimed it was snapdragon
I was clearly under the impression that the entire US market was snapdragon and alot of other major markets as well due mostly to the limited availability of the Exynos processors. Either way so long as I can get mine very, very soon I don't care. More to the point I want it rootable.
I'm looking to purchase G9550 model cab anyone tell me the difference between the 2 pls.
I'm based in the UK as far as I can see bands are the same.
http://www.phonemore.com/phone/samsung-galaxy-s8-plus-duos-sm-g9550-128gb/3264
http://www.phonemore.com/phone/samsung-galaxy-s8-plus-sm-g955f/3234
The differences are only 3, as far as I can tell:
Snapdragon vs Exynos
6gb Ram vs 4gb Ram
Community support
Exynos is faster than snapdragon, overclocked or not (mine is overclocked to 2.5 ghz and does 182k on antutu, same battery life).
6gb ram is better if you need to use 10 apps at the same time, because it will need to reload apps less often (although I havent seen my s8+ exynos reloading anything so far)
community support is better for exynos than snapdragon, that's for the normal ones... imagine a specific model with a snapdragon.
If it were me, I would spare myself the trouble of getting a phone that will only be sold in korea or China and avoid potential problems that will take longer to be solved than if you got a national phone (even if the bands are the same). I would get the 955F (well, I have it xD)
The reason I was considering 9550 as blue coral is only available in that version.
I did go for 955FD gold in the end as that colour isn't available in the UK yet.
Useful info just one correction g9550 also comes in 4GB ram too.

I have the 9550. Didn't really have a choice since I live in Hong Kong. I do prefer the exynos too, although kind of doubt it makes a big difference (probably slightly better battery life).
Completely true about the community support although you can expect part of the Chinese community to actually support the device.
It will probably also take longer to get a root for this device than on Exynos (if we ever get it... Which starts to stress me out)
One small caveat: the Snapdragon has a better support than exynos among app developers and you can expect to have better optimized apps for the Snapdragon version (but this too is probably a minor thing too...)

Certain 3rd party camera apps for instance take advantage of the snapdragon. Google TensorFlow for machine learning as well. Other apps leverage on its DAC.

Most likely Qualcomm's effort to distribute their API and document their processors (Samsung doesn't publish everything about the Exynos). Also easiness of users reach for developpers: if you develop something optimized for Qualcomm you know you will reach US Samsung's phones, HTC phones, Pixel, Moto, etc... And you probably don't want to make the effort to see if there is an equivalent API available for Exynos, learn it, debug your app for it while it will allow you to reach only a limited number of users.
These are anyway most of times optimizations that allow faster processing and don't necessarily take away any functionalities (So in most cases it wouldn't even get noticed)
I see, I suspected it'd be something like that, thanks for taking the time to explain further why you think it's the case! BR.

Latest example of this:
https://androidcommunity.com/google...comm-snapdragon-820-821-835-devices-20170814/
Won't happen for Exynos. With Google certainly optimizing a lot of its next apps for Pixel 2, you may soon see more coming for Snapdragon 835. Typically I wouldn't be too surprised if we were to get this for snapdragons: http://news.mit.edu/2017/automatic-image-retouching-phone-0802

If only I could get a G9550 easily into Australia, none of the specialist importers were offering the 6GB + 128GB version, plus it was missing one critical band, in-the-end I was left with no choice but to get an imported G955FD. [only single SIM version officially sold in Australia]
The only place I could find it in the world where I could have had it shipped, was India, but the average cost of top-end smartphones there is much higher than it is in Australia, postage plus MF services wasn't too bad.

FYI, the 6GB/128GB G955FD S8+ is now available in Brazil as well, hopefully Samsung decides to launch it in other markets like they did with the 128GB S7 edge.

I suspect it would've been just as impractical as India turned out to be.

Its this time of the year guys! This thread is to discuss pre-orders across all stores and providers in Canada. To compare notes and ask ROBELUS related questions. I personally pulled the trigger for an unlocked (no subsidy) phone through best buy, delivery scheduled for the 16th and then I went back in an through Telus the pick up is on the 9th for some reason so I pulled the trigger on both. What did you order from where? What did you select? Pick up or delivery? Please share.

Hola
I am still on the fence about getting this device. One unique thing that I need is VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling features and currently you can only get these "advanced" functions by buying a phone directly from your carrier. I would be more inclined to get the Exynos version primarily because you can get decent third-party custom ROMs that, for the most part, provide a cleaner experience than the bloated full stock firmware.

I just went over my emails and it turns out they sent me an email telling me to disregard the shipping notice and that my phone will be ready for pick up on the 16th. Oh well...
Just placed my preorder online with Samsung.ca. SES is not too convenient for me and having read about some hassles with using the $150 credit against the phone, I figured online was easier as the credit is already applied and I may get my phone before the 16th.
But why you guys not worried about the Snapdragon processor, i mean locked bootloader. Are you guys okay with that?
Also the benchmark scores are drastically higher on Exynos (3600, 9500) as compared ro the crapdragon(2400,8500).

Bro the geekbench scores are drastically high on exynos but yeah the the other scores are pretty low.. i think in real life, Exynos will still be faster than the Snapdragon.
People still pay attention to benchmarks? I have no issues with my SD835 S8+ and I only expect the S9+ to be even faster. I'll take real-world usage over benchmarks any day. Plus, I like being able to use VoLTE and having proper Carrier Aggregation support for LTE, something that I can't use if I import an Exynos version.
That being said since it's using the snapdragon processor will samsung prevent all their phone's from being rooted? I really wanted to get the s22 note 1TB but if I can't root it im gonna be sad.

Snapdragon's tend to be notoriously hard to root.
A stock Samsung can run quit well at least they use to... So far I'm not keen on this new model and 2022 will likely be another bad year for Samsung and Android.
Unifying their chipsets is a good thing though, if they can do it. Supply chain shortages may be ahead...

Question is: is it any better than A52s? I'm not seeing how...
I just bought the a53 last night (old phone is a oneplus 6t) and frankly, I'm under-whelmed. Reason being is that my old phone had no lag -- everything was butter. A53 has a 1/2 second lag and sometimes requires a harder press on the touch screen, so it seems.
the A53 has a better chipset, slightly bigger battery and no headphone jack. It's more of a "side grade" than a true upgrade.
I hope the aforementioned helps. =)

Hi, can you tell us more about the specs of this phone as some sources claim that the Cpu is Exonus, other Qualcomm. I'm interested also about the camera sensors. You can check all that info in apps like Aida64, DevCheck, Device Info HW.

Neither Aida64, nor CPU-Z can identify the CPU other than 2x ARM [email protected],40 and 6x ARM [email protected],00 with Mali-G68 GPU. I do believe it ix Exinos CPU, though. If you'd let me know how to get camera info, you are after, I will be happy to get it for you as well.
Did anyone in any region manage to make the second SIM useful? It is clearly marked as SIM2, but, whatever I put in there would not register, About menu only list one IMEI and Samsung support is utterly clueless -- I got range of responses from "there is an eSIM" to "we might turn on second SIM with the firmware update in the future" to "go to the service center and they will diagnose it for you". I have not had the time to do the latter and I wonder if that worked for anyone.

I literally did the same thing lol. I will say I was very underwhelmed the first day but it has been grown on me. It has a few things the 6t did not. Fingerprint sensor seems to be faster, I enjoy having a micro SD card slot, a better screen, and of course a much faster data connection.
I find the battery life was underwhelming at first but after a few battery cycles it has gotten considerably better. I also went ahead and used ADB to remove some annoying packages. I have the T-Mobile version of the a53 5g and there were two different messaging apps in their stock along with a handful of Facebook apps that even when disabled still run in the background. That's no bueno for me.
Considering how old the OnePlus 6t is it still ran like a damn race car every day. This phone only feels like a minor upgrade. Even when opening apps on the two devices right next to each other the 6t sometimes opens things faster. for the most part the two of them are neck and neck most of the time which is truly impressive for a phone that is 4 years old.
i bought Galaxy A53 - but i was thought on the A73 too. I watch related comparison video too on the below url
, but i decide finally the A53 , what is your opinion? It a good choice ???
sorry for my english...

Just received the April update on the unlocked version. This is at least a week after carrier updates were mentioned in news and released. And also during the next month.
