The Galaxy A53 is currently Samsung’s best mid-range phone. Actually, the company’s already unveiled the next iteration of the A-series, and the Galaxy A54 has been announced. We’re waiting for it to review it, and after we do that we’ll tell you if it’s capable of replacing the A53 in this list.
Best Samsung phones – benchmarks and test results
As we mentioned already, we have extensive tests that we put every phone through to ensure it is up to standard. Here, you can see the results from our battery, performance, and display tests for all the phones in this list.
First off, starting with displays:
Then, let’s see how all these top Samsung phones perform on benchmarks.
And last but definitely not least, check out the results from our extensive battery tests on all of the best Samsung phones available right now.
What makes Samsung phones stand out in the market?
As the market leader, Samsung knows how to make phones that make users happy. The flagship phones that Samsung releases are always next to impeccable performance and camera beasts with features hard to replicate by the direct competition.
The value Galaxy phones bring is also that Samsung phone users can be certain they get a great phone with little compromise in design and features. And, on top of everything, all of our entries in the best Samsung phones list support 5G, the future of mobile network standards.
Arguably the best thing about Samsung smartphones is that the company makes products across all categories: from budget-friendly devices for your mom (if she’s not a tech nerd, though) to mid-rangers, to top-performing premium phones, capable of handling anything you throw at them. This pretty much means that there is the perfect new Samsung phone for anyone.
Which series is best in Samsung A, Z or S (how to choose)
The most important difference between the three series is actually price. The Galaxy A series are cheaper, and therefore they come with mid-range specs, processors, and cameras. If you’re on a budget, you can safely go for a Galaxy A – you will still get a great Samsung experience, just without some of the bells and whistles of a flagship phone.
The S series are the ultimate flagships – and they come with flagship prices. If you want the best processor on the market, the best performance, and the best cameras Samsung has, you should be looking into the Galaxy S-series.
The Z-series are Samsung’s foldable phones. They also come with the latest processors and are very expensive. The difference between the Z and the S series is mainly the foldable factor and the camera systems. If you’re looking into an innovative phone and you can benefit from the added value of a foldable screen, you may want to look into the Z series.
How we picked the phones in this guide?
If this is not your first time at PhoneArena you probably know that we’ve tested and continue to test thousand of phones, including all the hot ones as they come out. Our tests include extensive chip and display measurements, battery tests, and real-time use. The Samsung phones in this guide have all undergone our extensive testing and have managed to earn a great score from our team of reviewers.
Finding the best device across a given price category is not an easy task, but thanks to our experience with different phones (not only Samsung phones, but other Android phones or iPhones), we’ve managed to establish the main categories which make a great phone great.
We take into account the display quality, the processor and how it performs (both in real life and in benchmarks), the battery life, the cameras and the camera quality in a variety of scenarios, as well as features, design, price, and availability of a given device. And of course, all of these aspects of a given phone are compared to its competition to ensure it is the best phone Samsung can offer.
We test the phone’s performance running popular benchmarks. For battery life, we run extensive tests on the phones to measure how much they will last given a specific task – either browsing, YouTube continuous playback, and 3D gaming. We also measure the speed at which phones charge.
