The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is similar to the older Galaxy A52s 5G, but it features design cues from the new Galaxy S22 series. As a result, Samsung has managed to retain the previous model's IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.
A good gaming phone is out of the question because the new Exynos 1280 SoC delivers budget performance. Including its camera components, the Galaxy A53 5G is largely based on the Galaxy A52s 5G.
However, the camera's low-light capabilities are mediocre. Aside from the low light performance, the video quality is quite respectable.
It has a 5,000mAh battery that lasts for two days of light use. If you buy the phone, you'll have to buy a charger separately. Comparatively speaking, charging rates are sluggish.
The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G starts at Rs. 31,499 in India. It costs about 225,000 Naira in Nigeria. In the United States, it costs $ 326.00. It is priced at € 309.00 and £ 265.00 in the UK. In Canada it costs about C$ 454.98.
