Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Galaxy A53 5G to deliver a complete package of the latest Galaxy innovations, offering a holistic mobile experience at a great value. Powered by a brand-new processor, coupled with Galaxy’s signature AI camera, expansive and smooth display, and extended battery life, the new Galaxy A53 5G features 5G connectivity, defense-grade security, an eco-conscious, stylish and slim design, and advanced connected experiences. Plus, Galaxy A53 5G supports continuous One UI and Android OS upgrades and security updates to ensure the user mobile experience is always awesome.

“We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the positive impact mobile technology can have on their lives,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Samsung Electronics’ MX (Mobile eXperience) Business. “With the latest Galaxy A series release, we’re making it easier than ever to enjoy Galaxy’s advanced, innovative mobile experience at a great value.”   

Capture an Awesome Shot in Any Situation

Whether you’re creating content or sharing it with your friends, the new Galaxy A53 5G is built with an awesome camera that’s always in reach. The Galaxy A53 5G’s quad-camera system features a 64MP OIS Camera with VDIS technology that takes crisp and steady shots every time. Meanwhile, a high-resolution 32MP front camera delivers great selfies and clear video call experiences.

Fueled by a brand new 5nm processor, Galaxy A53 5G’s innovative AI-powered camera makes every image look awesome – even in low light. Improved Night mode automatically synthesizes up to 12 images at once, so night photos look bright, with less noise. And when you’re filming videos in a low light environment, your phone’s framerate is automatically adjusted to create bright, clear videos.

The enhanced Portrait mode captures depth and subject outlines more accurately with dual cameras and powerful AI. And with Fun mode, moments can be amplified using playful filters and effects that now work with the Ultra-wide lens. Plus, Photo Remaster breathes new life into old low quality photos, while Object eraser removes pesky photo bombers in the background.

Maximize Your Viewing Experience Anywhere and Anytime

A sunny day can make it harder to see your smartphone screen, but Galaxy A53 5G’s new intelligent algorithm ensures you can always see your display in vivid detail – even when you’re outside. Galaxy A53 5G’s 6.5-inch[1] Super AMOLED display offers a 120Hz refresh rate for completely immersive entertainment. And Galaxy A53 5G is now equipped with up to two-day battery[2] life and 25W Super Fast Charging[3] capabilities – so you can enjoy viewing and streaming what you love for longer.  

Beautiful, Durable, Purposeful Design

The new Galaxy A53 5G is expertly crafted to be fashionable, functional, and sustainable. The device’s slim bezel creates a smooth, stylish look and Ambient Edge design seamlessly blends the camera with the body of the phone. For even more peace of mind, Galaxy A53 5G is built with strong Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 and IP67[4] water and dust resistance, providing enhanced durability.

Samsung has always challenged what’s possible with technology and will continue to rethink how best to use the planet’s resources. Announced in August 2021 with Galaxy for the Planet, Samsung is committed to delivering tangible environmental actions to help make the planet healthier by 2025. Building on Samsung’s sustainability efforts,[5] the Galaxy A53 5G removes the charger plug and reduces the size of the packaging. The device’s packaging also uses sustainably sourced paper, while the device itself uses recycled post-consumer materials (PCM) for the side buttons and SIM card trays.

Beyond materials, the longevity of the new A53 5G has been extended. Galaxy A53 5G guarantees up to four generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades, and up to five years of security updates. These features allow users to access the latest software and security to maximize the smartphone lifecycle.

The Connected Galaxy Experience at Your Fingertips

The new Galaxy A53 5G ensures your data and information stay protected, secured by the defense-grade Samsung Knox. For storage of private photos, notes and apps, Secure Folder offers users a digital safe that is totally encrypted, so only they can access its contents. Using Private Share[6], you can control exactly who has access to your files and for how long when you securely share photos and videos. And for next-level convenience, Galaxy A53 5G will have the new Samsung Wallet[7], so you can safely store all your important IDs and cards on one device – everything from boarding passes to credit cards.
