Samsung has quietly launched the Galaxy M53, which can be termed as a budget version of the Galaxy A73 5G. It brings the same 108MP camera and 6.7-inch 120 Hz Super AMOLED Plus display as the more premium A series device but with a smaller price tag.
The phone features a large 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display with FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The fingerprint reader is now side-mounted, instead of being under the display.
The smartphone is available in Green, Blue, and Brown colors.
The M53 is likely to come with a Dimensity 900 6nm chipset instead of the Snapdragon 778G found in the A-series. The chipset has not been confirmed by the company but since it’s a more affordable device, a MediaTek chip is more likely. The phone comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot.
Given the switch to the Dimensity chip, Wi-Fi connectivity is limited to Wi-Fi 5 instead of 6 but Bluetooth 5.2 is supported instead of 5.0.
The device will boot Android 12 with One UI 4.1.
The handset sports a quad-camera unit with a 108MP f/1.8 main camera without OIS, paired with an 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth sensor. While the punch-holed front has the same 32MP selfie camera.
Samsung Galaxy M53 is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging, similar to the A53 and A73. The company has yet to unveil the pricing details and list of launch regions for the device.
