2 questions: Does a charger come in the box with this? Is there a headphone jack?
Howdy Tracy, thank you for finding the opportunity to ask us your question about the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G UW. As we strive to be innovative and improve the design and functionality of our product line, your feedback is invaluable to us. With so many people already having compatible charging blocks from previous devices, we try to lead a sustainable future by minimizing environmental impact so charging blocks are sold separately.

Simply plug in a USB-C to 3.5mm Adapter to your device, then your headphones into the adapter. You can also use the USB-C port on your device to plug in a pair of USB-C wired headphones, if you prefer wired headphones. If you think of any additional questions for us, please feel free to reach out to Samsung Support. Thank you for being a cherished Samsung customer. - Debra

HD Calling . Feb 19, 2023
Does this phone have HD calling capability? It will not automatically connect to my wifi and network extender when I come home, I have to power the phone off
Hello there, thank you for taking the opportunity to ask your question about the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G UW. Yes, the Galaxy A53 5G UW does offer your HD Voice. HD Voice is a suite of services enabled by VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology. VoLTE delivers voice calls over the 4G LTE network instead of the traditional voice network, providing clearer, more natural sounding audio when both parties are using HD Voice-enabled phones that are connected to our 4G LTE network. From a Home screen, tap the Phone icon Phone icon (lower-left). If unavailable, swipe up from the center of the display then tap Phone. > Tap the Menu icon (upper-right). > Tap Settings. > Tap the Video Calling switch to turn on or off. If presented, review the notification then tap OK to confirm. HD Voice service is included in your existing voice plan at no additional charge. When you purchase a current device, HD Voice is automatically added to your account and ready for you to use on your device. HD Voice calls are billed as standard voice minutes, according to your plan. If a wired headset or a Bluetooth® headset is connected to your phone, HD Voice calls may not be delivered to the headset with HD quality unless the headset is also compatible with HD Voice. Please feel free to reach out to Samsung Support for further assistance and/or troubleshooting. Thank you for being a loyal Samsung customer. - Debra
Great question. The Galaxy A53 device does have HD voice features. Hope this helps. -Kinquana
