what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the latest mid-range device from samsung the samsung galaxy a535g and comparing it to
samsung's flagship for 2022 the samsung galaxy s22 now these two devices do look quite similar
so is it worth spending double the money to get a samsung galaxy s 22 what do you get more wood s22
compared to something like the a53 5g well we're definitely going to find out in today's video
all right starting with the boxes well they both come in pretty small boxes and that means one
thing you are not gonna find a charger in the box of the a535g or in the box of the samsung
galaxy s22 so you basically get a cable and you have to buy your own charger they both support
25 watt fast charging but with the samsung galaxy s22 you also get wireless charging
and reverse wireless charging so the a53 we don't get wireless charging or reverse wireless charging
so that is an advantage for the s22 inside the e53 we have a 5 000 milliamp hour battery where inside
the s22 we have a 3700 milliamp hour battery so of course the s22 will charge a bit faster because we
do have a smaller battery inside it now i did run a test to see how much battery time we get um so
how much screen on time we get on each device and i was able to get about 8 hours and 10 minutes on
the a535g compared to about 8 hours and 57 minutes on the samsung galaxy s22 now keep in mind that
i've done this test connected to wi-fi only so no 4g or 5g connectivity and the device is basically
just played the youtube videos over and over i did take some pictures as well with the a535g
so for this kind of test you're going to get about eight hours of screen time on both devices
the screen on the a535g is also a bit bigger and talking about the screens here so we have a 6.5
inches super amoled screen on the a535g compared to a 6.1 inches screen on the samsung galaxy s22
this is also super amoled screen they both have a 1080p resolution and they both support 120 hertz
refresh rate let me just open screen so display let me look for display on this one as well
and motion smoothness
so they both support 120 hertz some refresh rate now the biggest um differences
that you're going to notice for these two screens is the brightness so the peak brightness for the
samsung galaxy s22 is 1300 nits where the peak brightness for the samsung galaxy a53
is 800 nits indoors you're not gonna notice a difference but if you do take the phones
outdoors in direct sunlight you will notice a massive difference on the screen of the s22
so you will be able to see the screen of the s22 much better than you're gonna be able to
see the screen of the a535g they both have in-screen fingerprint scanners even though
the scanner on the s22 is slightly faster not a whole lot faster but definitely a bit faster
than the one that we get on the a53 now looks wise they do look quite pleasant both of them
even though the s22 does feel more premium so first of all the frames on the devices the frame
on the s22 is made out of metal where the frame on the a53 is made out of plastic the same goes
for the backs here so the back of the a535g is made out of plastic and this is how it sounds
and the back of the s22 is made out of glass so it doesn't sound as cheap as that sound that
you get from the a53 all right looking at the frames here on the left hand side they do look
quite similar um nothing there um the same kind of goes at the top we basically have a whole forum
a microphone on the other side we have the volume buttons and the power button and at the bottom we
get the sim card slot tray we get another hole for microphone the usbc charging port and the holes
for the second speakers so they both have two speakers one at the bottom here and one at the top
on each device and funny enough the a535g sounds better and louder than the samsung galaxy s22 and
i'm also going to show you a quick example just so you can um hear how they sound and another thing
that i want to mention with the a535g can actually install an sd card to the s22 you cannot install
an sd card so let me show you that quick test so you can see how the speakers sound on both devices
i was lost
moving on to performance well here you're gonna notice quite a bit of a difference and that makes
sense because the s22 is a flagship the most powerful device that samsung makes for 2022
so inside this we have the exynos 2200 this is the european version of this device and inside
the a535g we have the exynos 1280 and i have some screenshots here of the scores that we get on the
antutu benchmark so a really big difference for this course so 880 000 versus 367 000
and this is the score that we get on the geekbench five
so again a big difference for the multi-core score here so 3 500 versus about 1800 now
you're not gonna notice that big of a difference in actual usage unfortunately so even though we
get these super high scores it's not like the s22 will be three times faster than the a53
no and i also have to mention that both devices are quite buggy so the s22 constantly freezes
the a53 constantly freezes this is probably the worst tier that samsung had for the ui so both
devices even though this one is much much faster they constantly freeze they constantly lag so i
can't really say that this one is so much better than the a53 no they're both quite laggy actually
there is also quite a bit of a difference for the speed for the internal storage so both devices
have 128 gigs of internal storage and again i took a screenshot of the reading and writing speeds for
the internal storage and here once again a massive massive difference from the cheaper a53 to the
samsung galaxy s22 so eventually when samsung will actually push some updates and make these phones
better not as laggy as they are right now the s22 should be much faster and much easier to use
basically will give you a better experience overall not currently because they both are
quite laggy but eventually the s22 does have the harder to make this phone super quick super fast
when compared to the a53 and just in case you're wondering yes you can actually watch netflix in hd
on both devices let me just open this here scroll the bottom here so we have the same
security level on both devices so yes you will be able to watch netflix in hd on both devices
now moving on to cameras so the camera systems on their backs are a bit different i'm actually
working on a full camera comparison video between the a53 and the s22 unfortunately we haven't had
the best weather over the past few days so i'm still kind of waiting for a sunny day so
i can actually finish the daytime pictures and daytime videos so i can complete that video so
for now i'm not gonna include any sample pictures or videos but hopefully by the end
of the day or early tomorrow i can actually show you that camera comparison in between the two but
basically would the a5352 get an extra camera well in a way we have a macro camera another
camera use them for portrait mode pictures where on the back of the s22 we do get a telephoto lens
camera so of course the camera setup on the s22 is better the s22 can also record at higher
resolution so it can do eight head 24 frames per second where the maximum recording resolution
for the a535g is 4k 30 frames per second with the main camera the ultra white camera and even with
the selfie camera and as i said as i said as soon as i finish that camera comparison i will add the
link in the video's description or the top right corner so you can see some examples for pictures
and videos in more situations basically but for now i don't have that ready now just to give you
an example how they both open some apps i'm just going to open a couple of apps here that i have
on the home screen so there isn't that big of a difference even though the s22 is supposed to
be the much faster device out of the two so not a crazy crazy difference of course the s12 is a bit
faster but you're actually not gonna notice that even for games i've noticed that you can't really
tell the difference if i'm playing games on this one or on the s22 i guess having an antutu
benchmark score of over 300 000 is kind of good enough for most um applications and games these
days so not a massive difference in performance as the benchmark results um would suggest
so there you have it this is the cheaper samsung galaxy a53 basically you can buy two a53s for
the price of a samsung galaxy s22 so is it worth spending double the money on the s22
i'm not sure if um it is actually because as i said this one is not slow by any means
it does look quite good as well and you're also gonna see that camera comparison and see how
good those cameras on the back of the a53 are when compared the cameras on the s22 all right
guys hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
