Sell or trade in your Galaxy A53 5G in Vienna
The Galaxy A53 5G received long software updates and is therefore considered a safe second-hand buy. That is exactly what makes it interesting for our purchase. If you want to part with your A53, you get a fair counter-value.
What we pay for a Galaxy A53 5G
The amounts apply to 128 GB of storage. They are non-binding; the price becomes binding after the visual check and function test in Vienna.
| Very good, like new | up to 80 EUR |
| Good, light signs of use | around 62 EUR |
| Acceptable, visibly used | around 40 EUR |
| Faulty, never opened | individual |
The Galaxy A53 5G is worth up to 80 EUR at Reparo, with 256 GB up to 90 EUR. Light marks mean around 62 EUR, a visibly used look around 40 EUR. What most often costs money on the A53 5G is the camera: the 64 MP main lens sits in a slightly raised camera block whose glass scratches easily on phones without a case. Blurry or hazy photos count as a partial defect; clean camera glass keeps the price up.
Screen quality, a healthy battery cell, the storage variant, a working 5G module and the condition of frame and back shape the value.
Display damage on the A53 5G: no reason to refuse
A spider web in the glass, a green tint in the picture or a battery that no longer lasts the day: we buy the A53 5G like that too, as long as nobody has opened the housing. A faulty device brings about 30 percent of the best value, for this model from 20 EUR. We then repair it in our own workshop.
Why the A53 5G is still in demand second-hand
Samsung promised the A53 5G four major Android versions and five years of security updates, unusually long for a 2022 mid-range phone. Add a 120 Hz display and a 5,000 mAh battery. Buyers of used phones pay close attention to that, which is why our buyback price is above that of the older Galaxy A52 5G. We rate its successor, the Galaxy A54 5G, just as high.
Free shipping label, money in about 48 hours
You live in St. Pölten, Wels or Vienna? It makes no difference. We buy your A53 5G by post, and you get the insured label free by email. After it arrives we inspect the phone in our workshop, and about 48 hours later the money is on its way via PayPal or bank transfer. We do not pay cash. What applies if something differs is set out in the trade-in terms.
Remove theft protection before you ship
A Samsung phone can remain locked after a reset if a Google account was still registered. So first remove the Google and Samsung accounts under Settings › Accounts and backup, and only then reset the A53 5G to factory settings. A backup with Smart Switch or Google backup beforehand saves you from losing photos.
Selling a Galaxy A53 5G: questions and answers
How much is a Galaxy A53 5G with 128 GB worth?
Up to 80 EUR in like-new condition. With light signs of use around 62 EUR, visibly used around 40 EUR. Your exact value also depends on battery and camera.
What is the Galaxy A53 5G trade-in value with 256 GB?
We add 10 EUR, so up to 90 EUR in top condition. You find your storage size by searching for "Storage" in the settings.
Selling a used Galaxy A53 5G: which grade is mine?
If you only see scratches at an angle in the light, it is "light marks" at around 62 EUR. If you can feel them with a fingernail or the frame has white chips, it is "visibly used" at around 40 EUR. If in doubt, choose the lower grade and there will be no deduction at the inspection.
Can I sell a broken Galaxy A53 5G with a faulty display?
Yes, if it was never opened. An A53 5G with a broken display brings from 20 EUR. If touch still works and only the glass is cracked, the value is often higher.
Does my Galaxy A53 5G lose value if the camera glass is scratched?
Yes, if the photos suffer. A scratch you can see in pictures counts as a partial defect. Marks only on the edge of the camera block are part of normal wear.
How do you check the battery of the Galaxy A53 5G?
We charge the phone, test it under load and look for a bulging housing. A normally aged battery hardly lowers the price. If the A53 5G switches off at 30 percent, that is a defect.
Do you pay more for the Galaxy A53 5G than for the A52 5G?
Yes, 5 EUR more in top condition: 80 EUR instead of 75 EUR. The A53 5G has the bigger battery and gets updates for longer.
Is sending in my Galaxy A53 5G free?
Yes, getting it to us costs you nothing, from any federal state. You receive an insured label by email and drop the parcel at the post office.
What does return shipping cost if I do not sell my Galaxy A53 5G?
10 EUR. It only applies if you decline our offer after the inspection and want the A53 5G back. If the condition matches what you entered, the price usually stays at the estimate.
Which data do I have to delete from the Galaxy A53 5G?
All of it. After signing out of the Google and Samsung accounts, reset the phone to factory settings and everything is gone. Deleting is your job; we only accept reset devices.
Can I get paid for my Galaxy A53 5G via PayPal?
Yes, or by bank transfer, whichever you prefer. About 48 hours after the inspection the payment is on its way. We do not pay cash.
refurbed or Reparo: who takes a Galaxy A53 5G with a crack?
refurbed does not accept phones with a broken display; for other deviations you get a new offer. With us a crack is no reason to refuse, and we pay from 20 EUR for a faulty A53 5G. For flawless phones it pays to compare both offers.
Does the original packaging of the Galaxy A53 5G have to be included?
No, but it brings something: with the original box and original cable the calculator adds a bonus. The A53 5G never came with a charger, so no need to look for one.
Can I bring my Galaxy A53 5G by instead of shipping it?
No, we handle trade-ins by post only, even within Vienna. The label is free and insured, and the way to the post office is usually shorter than to a workshop.
How long will the Galaxy A53 5G still get updates?
Samsung promised five years of security updates from the 2022 launch, so into 2027. As long as updates keep coming, the resale value holds; afterwards it drops faster.
