In the hotly contested market for mid-range phones, Samsung must work hard to impose its references. A feat that the South Korean manufacturer has achieved since 2019 with its Galaxy A50 series.

A smartphone that is once again betting on excellent value for money and that it is even possible to pre-order from operators like RED by SFR.

A balanced phone that flirts with the high end
It is clear that Samsung was not afraid to take inspiration from its high-end smartphones for the Galaxy A53 5G: the design of the phone is reminiscent of that of its flagships. There is a photo block integrated directly into the matte frame of the phone as well as rounded edges.
The screen is also worthy of premium phones since its 6.5-inch OLED panel has a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. Better still, it is compatible with HDR10+ which allows you to enjoy streaming content in the best conditions.
Under the hood, we find the new Exynos 1280 chip, intended for mid-range devices. In normal use (web browsing, shooting, multitasking), the Galaxy A53 5G does not slow down at all. In terms of autonomy, Samsung ensures that the Galaxy A53 5G can last up to 2 days of use thanks to its 5,000 mAh battery and its compatibility with 25 W fast charging.
In terms of photography, the smartphone is versatile with 4 sensors organized as follows:
- a main one with 64-megapixel optical stabilization;
- a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle;
- a 5-megapixel macro;
- one deep 5 megapixel.
The software part has been greatly improved since the processing of night photos is twice as fast. The portrait mode, it also gains in quality, thanks to a better outline of the subject. Finally, the Galaxy A53 runs directly on Android 12 with One UI 4.1, which avoids long updates once the phone is unboxed.
