My Weekend Was Excellent, Also, Can I Use This Device For Financial/Banking/Transferring & Paying Money Without Potential Security Risk(s).
I Would Like To Use The "Samsung Pay" App And Maybe A Samsung Crypto-Currency Digital Wallet? I'm Only Worried Because Of The Age Of My Current Device..

Just want to give a tip on online banking. The phone should be fine, like @RedDogRabbit said. But make sure do not save your bank card numbers and password on your phone. In case you lost your phone, other people still not able to access your bank account easily. I know is a little trouble on typing card numbers and password every time, but convenience may lead to bigger security risk.

Also, use your home WiFi network instead of using hotspot WiFi for your banking. Hotspot WiFi usually is public use, not secure. Home WiFi still better than public WiFi.

You should be absolutely fine with your A53, it was only released in 2022, so it is receiving not only Android version updates, but more importantly Security Patch Updates.

I Also Have A Toshiba Laptop That Is Not Responding To Anything...Most People Recommend Me To Short Out The Toshiba C850 Laptop Using Something Metallic, But First I'll Try Everything Else.

Actually, good point...I didn't think about that. I have it saved cuz it brings up Fingerprint login for my banking through Samsung Pass so it auto fills it

Idk...I don't buy Anti-virus. I use Samsung built in for the phone and MS Defender since I have a Windows Pc, and use that then for the PC. Never had any issues.
