Great design
Impressive display
MicroSD card slot
IP67
The Galaxy A series sees the most voluminous sales for Samsung, with this model, the Galaxy A53 5G, likely to be one of the most important handsets that Samsung will offer in 2022.
That’s not because it’s the best – that’s saved for the – or because it’s the most ground breaking – that’s the – but because it
will define the Samsung mobile experience for the greatest number of people.
Design and build

Gorilla Glass 5 and punch hole
IP67 protection
While it doesn’t offer premium materials you’ll find on Samsung’s higher-placed devices, there’s a great feel to the frosted rear, although it is plastic here as many
Samsung phones now are. But we like that moulding around the cameras – something that’s also now reflected on the slightly lower-placed
launched alongside.
This is a pretty big device – generous in fact – but it’s not too large and feels great to hold, based on our limited time with it so far.
Display
6.5in, 2400 x 1080 pixels, 120Hz
AMOLED
Infinity-O display
There’s a 6.5-inch display on the front of the Galaxy A53 and this is an AMOLED panel as you’d expect – so it appears to have plenty of vibrancy in those colours
and deep blacks.
That’s going to be popular, as, based on our first impressions, there isn’t a huge difference here to what you might find on one of Samsung’s flagship devices –
visually, at least.
The resolution sticks to FHD+ – 2400 x 1080 pixels, 404ppi – which is typical for a device in this position. It also offers a , so it will be able to
smooth out fast moving content to give you a better experience.
The display is topped with Gorilla Glass 5 to keep scratches at bay, while it has a central punch hole camera, giving it a more premium look than the lower-placed
Galaxy A33. There are also slightly narrower bezels on this model compared to the A33, so it’s a better looking device overall.
Hardware and performance
Exynos 1280, 6GB RAM
128GB storage + microSD
5000mAh battery, 25W charging
The Galaxy A53 5G makes a bit of a departure in 2022, now landing with updated Exynos hardware. Samsung’s headline here is that this is the first time that a
5nm architechture has been used in the Galaxy A series, an indicator that it’s not being held back. It should be more efficient, able to deliver its performance with
lower power consumption.
In 2021, the Galaxy A52 hopped and skipped through the Snapdragon 720G, 750G and 778G (Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G, Galaxy A52s respectively). The Galaxy
A51 in 2020 had used Exynos hardware before this, so there’s been a lot of back and forth around this class of device.
There’s a 5000mAh battery, with support for 25W charging. That’s a generous capacity and increased over the previous version of this phone. We suspect that this
will lead to great battery life in typical use – Samsung is promising 2 days of life.
The phone launches on with Samsung’s One UI over the top – and the promise of 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates.
