    Thanks OP, just looking into getting one for my son.

  • wwwsam on 18/03/2022 - 11:08

    How does the A52s compare to the A53 purely performance wise?

    • Uncleroger on 18/03/2022 - 11:10

      it's an incremental upgrade, and they have removed the audio jack.

      • wwwsam on 18/03/2022 - 13:07

        Yeah personally that's a big killer for me. Feels more of an incremental downgrade but i guess that's the way things are going now.

    • amit2689 on 18/03/2022 - 11:13

      Not sure, but from specs SD 778G(Samsung A52s 5G) looks be better than Exynos 1280(Samsung A53 5G) but will wait for the benchmark tests to come out.

      • wwwsam on 18/03/2022 - 13:06

        Yeah that's what i saw too.
        Also i wonder how does 778g compare to exynos 1280 connectivity wise? Or exynos vs snapdragon in general.

  • CptnObvious on 18/03/2022 - 11:11

    How does A53 compare with Poco F3 that everyone has been talking about? Seems to be in the same price bucket.

    • jcg0173 on 18/03/2022 - 12:04

      Just went from a Poco F3 to a Galaxy A52s and the difference is negligible as both are very similar in performance, the difference is in the signal strength, which is why I made the switch…
      The Galaxy A52s has a lot better 4G signal strength (I personally don't need 5G), which seems to be a common complaint with Xiaomi/Poco phones. Could not be happier after making the switch.
      So the A53 should be just as good if not better…

      • dcep on 18/03/2022 - 15:07

        how about the camera between f3 and a52s ois , big difference ?

  • Deals For Days on 18/03/2022 - 11:15

    Interested to see what the benchmarks are like. Seems like decent value but if the chip is slow I would pass - my A50 is great other than now being quite slow.

  • OZBsince2018 on 18/03/2022 - 11:47

    Add a trade in device to get $75 bonus credit to bring the price down to $434.20.

    • Rajserp on 18/03/2022 - 12:10

      Does the trade in system accept S8?

      • OZBsince2018 on 18/03/2022 - 12:30

        Should be fine. Just install Samsung Trade in App and check.

    This is Ozb, i got my eyes on the A33 which should be 2022 price/performance winner

  • Appox7 on 18/03/2022 - 12:00

    Can you get the newsletter code twice?

    • FrankTT on 18/03/2022 - 12:18

      Yep, I have

  • dajackal on 18/03/2022 - 12:03

    I subscribed and also emailed them but still haven't gotten my newsletter code. Any ideas?

    • FrankTT on 18/03/2022 - 12:18

      It took a few days for me

  • Lighter Fluid on 18/03/2022 - 14:11

    Great price but the A73 looks to be the price:performance sweetspot when it gets released.

    Huge camera upgrade 108mp from 64mp and small screen size (6.7in) increase for I think it was $50 more? *USD

    • Appox7 on 18/03/2022 - 14:32

      Yeah definitely going with a73

  • TeddyBear on 18/03/2022 - 14:41

    IMO this phone is a downgrade from the current A52s in most metrics. New model's SOC has half the performance cores, lacks a headphone jack and uses a less power efficient Samsung 4G/5G modem. The new model has a slight bump in battery capacity and the camera array is identical.

    Seems like this only exists as a holdover from the chip shortage.

    • dcep on 18/03/2022 - 15:15

      yeah , a52s only released like 6 months ago

      does a52s has 3yr OS 4yr security ? or same as this one , 4yr OS 5yr security

      • Lighter Fluid on 18/03/2022 - 15:40
        +1

        Doesn't matter, you take so many L's for this model you'd most likely swap devices before that 4 year OS mark.

  • fededamiano80 on 18/03/2022 - 23:14

    is this dual sim?

    • amit2689 on 19/03/2022 - 09:58

      No, only single sim for AU version

  • greatlamp on 19/03/2022 - 08:25

    A53 5g vs A52 5g:
    bigger battery - 5000mah vs 4500mah (+ 10% battery life)
    More power efficient cpu - 5nm vs 8nm (+30% ? Battery life).
    Overall - Battery life should be excellent

    Cpu performance - unknown- expected to be about the same / slightly better

    Headphones jack - removed

    Conclusion:
    Keep an eye out for clearance deals on the A52, it's Battery life is over 100 hours already.

  • hahaboy on 20/03/2022 - 10:02

    Water proof phone?

  • skuzy on 23/03/2022 - 21:00

    if i recall correctly.. this model does not have expandable memory .. whereas A52 did

  • tbtktb on 25/03/2022 - 05:04

    Does anyone have a spare newsletter code? Been waiting on one for 3 days. Support not really helping either

    • The OzBargainer on 25/03/2022 - 14:35

      Email [email protected]. I too did not receive earlier, but emailing got me the code

      • Reneenay on 29/03/2022 - 21:36

        How long did it take for them to send it after your email? I emailed yesterday morning and still waiting. Guessing they're slammed, but I don't want to miss out!

  • WinstonWithAY on 25/03/2022 - 23:45

    I guess you could sell the buds if you don't plan to use them to make the phone a bit cheaper? Would it be worth buying then?

  • VYCanisMajoris on 28/03/2022 - 09:29

    a52s is better imo. Headphone jack, sd card, 778g is a decent bit better than the 1200.

    • ozdavo on 28/03/2022 - 16:45

      A53 has mSD card, but agree the SD778 and headphone jack are better on the A52s. The real question is, is the free Buds2 worth those two?
      … and can you find stock of the A52s (not in lilac) at the right price?

  • Reneenay on 29/03/2022 - 21:39

    Has anybody purchased and received a shipping notification? Want to know how long it takes them to process and ship as my husabnd just killed his A52 (slammed it in door of our van when I sent him to Bunnings to buy a door on sale for $50 down from $200 - false economy now!), He needs a new device ASAP for our business and I'm wondeirng if we should buy this or another A52 if shipping takes too long.

    • slow on 31/03/2022 - 16:02

      My offspring ordered one on the 21st. Order status is still showing as "processing". Live chat basically gave some generic response that the order is in progress and it will be shipped soon.
      Has anyone's shipped yet??

      • KB57 on 31/03/2022 - 18:28

        I received the phone today. But the charger I ordered with it and the bonus ear buds are still in processing.

  • m0neym0neym0ney on 30/03/2022 - 09:54

    does anyone know how much my s8 plus will get from trade in from the samsung website? it has a slight crack on the corner of the screen

  • RtN on 31/03/2022 - 21:23

    Anyone got a spare $50 voucher? Been waiting 2 days and might miss tonight…

    • Reneenay on 31/03/2022 - 22:09
      +1

      I subscribed and emailed Monday noonish. Now Thursday night and as yet still haven't heard back. I emailed, tried live chat (nil response) and spent 20min on call and got disconnected. Posted several times on fb (desperation!) and messaged them too - all with no replies.I decided this morning to just buy it but then both blue and black were showing as sold out. Arghhh! It was like this throughout the day until finally around 3pm it showed black was in stock so I pulled the trigger and purchased. Happy to still get the student price plus free earbuds, even if I am a little butthurt at missing the $50, and at the absence of customer service.

      • Sparky on 31/03/2022 - 22:10

        Don't be upset. I got the voucher, but it can't be applied to this order on the edu store

        • Sparky on 31/03/2022 - 22:42

          That's if you are trading in a device. If no trade-in, code still works. If anyone needs one - PM me

      • slow on 01/04/2022 - 08:05

        It took me about 4 days to get the voucher. After not getting it for 2 days I sent an email to support. Then a day later did live chat and they said they couldn't do anything about the voucher but would "escalate my support request". Then I got it about 24 hours later. The voucher came from support - they said it has been sent previously but "must have been blocked by my spam filter" which I think was rubbish . I was able to use it on the edu store

      • desii on 08/04/2022 - 10:36

        I've had this exact same issue! It's so annoying

  • Jimbot2000 on 08/04/2022 - 13:11

    Has anyone had delivery or confirmation of delivery? I ordered and paid on 30/03/22 and getting nothing back from Samsung regarding delivery of order…

    • amit2689 on 08/04/2022 - 14:17

      Mine was delivered around a week back. Ordered on 18/03.

    • Reeee on 12/04/2022 - 21:18

      Have you got shipping confirmation yet? I ordered on the 31st and still hasn't been shipped

      • Jimbot2000 on 13/04/2022 - 20:33

        I had to shake the tree a bit to get status - I called/emailed numerous times. ordered 30/03 and got my device yesterday 12/04 : dispatched my order from SYD to MELB via Startrack. Samsung customer services is useless, suggest waiting rather than having to engage with them unless you like having your questions repeated back to you - it was akin to combination of having an aneurysm and lobotomy.

        • Reeee on 14/04/2022 - 23:29

          Got shipping confirmation today, won't arrive until the 19th. Bit of a joke for a preorder to arrive so long after the release date

    • aaknes on 20/04/2022 - 18:47

      I ordered 30/3, phone got delivered 12/4 but still waiting on case and accessories.
