Samsung Galaxy A53 5G: Price, Specs & Availability
Following the launch of the Galaxy S21 FE and Galaxy S22 series earlier this year, Samsung is shifting its focus to the US mid-range market. Today, the company revealed that the Galaxy A53 will be available in the US from April 1 for $449.
Samsung Galaxy A53 5G Specifications
The Galaxy A53 offers the experience built on the 5G Exynos 1280 chipset, an important note given that Samsung uses Qualcomm chips on most 5G phones in the United States.
It comes with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage (with microSD expansion), and a 5,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging – just like some of Samsung’s recently launched, charger is not included with the A53. Samsung claims two days of battery life in “normal” use. The phone also has an IP67 water resistance rating and is made of recycled plastic material.
You’re basically talking with a 6.5-inch 120Hz display, which is a 1080p SuperAMOLED panel, which Samsung claims can touch a maximum of 800 knots of brightness. By comparison, the Pixel 4a 5G has a maximum of 650 nits and the Galaxy A52 can handle almost 700 nits. That display also has an embedded fingerprint sensor.
In the camera section, there are four sensors on the back of the phone. Primary 64MP camera, 12MP ultraviolet, 5MP depth sensor, and 5MP macro camera. On the front, the hole-punch cutout features a 32MP selfie camera.
Prices and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy A53s does not specify what ‘select market’ it will offer in advance, but in the UK, its starting price is £ 399, and we can assume that the phone will start shipping in the next few weeks. Starting with, £399 is the same start-up price that was associated with the Galaxy A52 launch.
However, the 2022 model improves the successful mid-range formula in some ways and has an improved Android OS upgrade that guarantees four major Android updates and five years of security patches.

The prevailing view is that LG Display will have 15% more OLED volume than Samsung Display (9 million to early 10 million units). Those who see it differently predict that Samsung Display will secure around 20 million units of 15% OLED, which will be more than LG Display.

Apple’s Surprising Victory: Takes the Crown in Indian Smartphone Exports, Samsung Drops to Second
For the first time, Apple surpassed Samsung in smartphone export from India. The company shipped 49% of the country’s total 12 million shipments in the second quarter. Samsung, on the other hand, secured 45% of India’s total smartphone shipments in the same period.
Apple clocked a rapid growth in export volumes in the last year by making iPhones through contract manufacturers in India. The Cupertino-based company’s share of exports soared from just 9% of the roughly 8 million smartphones shipped in Q2 2022, to almost half the total smartphone exports in Q2 2023.

Samsung’s share of export volumes fell from 50% in Q1 2023 to 45% in Q2 2023. This marks a sharp decline from Q2 2022 when the company had a dominating 84% of the export market from India. Meanwhile, exports by other Android brands (Xiaomi, Motorola, Vivo) declined from 10% in Q1 2023, to 6% in Q2 2023.
Google Messages is getting a new look for its voice recorder UI. The microphone icon in the text field will change to a waveform icon, which is different from the voice typing button in Gboard.
Instead of holding down the mic to record, you will now see a panel with a start/stop button and options to cancel, delete, or attach the recording. You will also see a waveform and a timer while recording, and you can play back the recording before sending it.
The voice messages preview will also show a waveform between the play/pause button and the timer, making it more noticeable than the current straight line.
These changes are not widely available yet, but some users have reported seeing them on their phones. These new changes are part of a bigger redesign that Google is working on for Messages, which includes a revamped home screen that is still in beta testing. Google might announce new features soon.
