Samsung Launches Galaxy A53 5G Phone With a Bigger Battery, New Processor, and Smaller Price Tag
The $450 starting price makes the model competitive with the $429 Apple iPhone SE
On Thursday, Samsung introduced the Galaxy A53 5G, a midrange phone with a new processor and a great big battery. It’s a logical evolution from the Galaxy A52 5G, $500, which earns admirable scores from CR’s testers. And yet, the A53 5G arrives with a lower $450 starting price.
And that’s a welcome upgrade.
The Galaxy A53 5G uses Samsung’s home-brewed Exynos 1280 5nm processor instead of the Qualcomm processor found in the Galaxy A52 5G. The company says the new chip will fuel software-based, AI camera enhancements designed to capture better photos and videos in lowlight and provide users with more style options when shooting Portrait Mode images.
