The Galaxy A53 5G is equipped with a 6.5” Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. The 32 MP selfie camera is punch holed into the display. Flipping over to the other side, the main camera has a 64 MP sensor and an f/1.8 lens with OIS. Joining it are a 12 MP ultra wide module (f/2.2), a 5 MP macro camera and a 5 MP depth sensor. Those numbers may not make Galaxy A52/A52s owners jealous, but the new model is not without upgrades.
The new chipset can fuse up to 12 images
for improved Night mode shots. It also uses two cameras in Portrait mode for a
cleaner separation between subject and background. And it has smarts that allow
it to automatically pick the best frame rate for recording video given the ambient
light.
The battery capacity grew to 5,000 mAh, up
500 mAh from the A52 series. Charging remains the same at 25W – for what it’s
worth, that’s the same as on the Galaxy S22, except that one has a smaller
3,700 mAh battery.
In the US it will launch the day before
(March 1) at a price of US$ 450 for a SIM-free unit. It will also be available
through T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and other carriers from April 1. Pre-orders
start today and if you do pre-order, you are eligible for a free pair of Galaxy
Buds Live.
