If those specs sound familiar, it&#8217;s because the M53 is basically a budget version of the Galaxy A73 5G (rather than the A53, despite the similar names). <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"847\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy M53 5G\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/04\/samsung-galaxy-m53-announcement\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_003.jpg\"\/><span><strong>Samsung Galaxy M53 5G<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The one important thing that separates the Galaxy M53 and A73 is the chipset &#8211; the M53 is probably powered by a Dimensity 900 instead of the Snapdragon 778G of the A-series phones (&#8220;probably&#8221; because Samsung rarely list chipset details and we have to confirm those for ourselves). Both are 6 nm chips (TSMC), but the Snapdragon has a better CPU makeup (4x Cortex-A78 based cores vs. 2x A78) and a more powerful GPU. <\/p>\n<p>Also, there is only one memory configuration, 6\/128 GB, with no options for RAM or storage upgrades. The microSD slot does make the storage situation less of a worry, however. <\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">&#13;<br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/22\/04\/samsung-galaxy-m53-announcement\/popup\/-1040x1200m\/gsmarena_004.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy M53 5G in Blue\" width=\"207\" height=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/04\/samsung-galaxy-m53-announcement\/popup\/-207\/gsmarena_004.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/22\/04\/samsung-galaxy-m53-announcement\/popup\/-1040x1200m\/gsmarena_005.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy M53 5G in Green\" width=\"207\" height=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/04\/samsung-galaxy-m53-announcement\/popup\/-207\/gsmarena_005.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/22\/04\/samsung-galaxy-m53-announcement\/popup\/-1040x1200m\/gsmarena_006.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy M53 5G in Brown\" width=\"207\" height=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/04\/samsung-galaxy-m53-announcement\/popup\/-207\/gsmarena_006.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>Samsung Galaxy M53 5G in Blue, Green and Brown<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p> A few other cuts were also made in the camera department. The aforementioned 108 MP main camera that sits behind an f\/1. 8 lens, but it has lost the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). The ultra wide camera got a lower resolution 8 MP sensor (down from 12 MP). The remaining two modules on the back are a 2 MP macro and a 2 MP depth sensor. The 32 MP selfie camera survived the budget cut unscathed. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/04\/samsung-galaxy-m53-announcement\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy M53 goes official: a cheaper A73 that keeps the 108MP camera\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It is punch holed into Galaxy M53&#8217;s 6. 7&#8243; display, a Super AMOLED Plus panel with FHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. There&#8217;s no word on strengthened glass, but the A73 doesn&#8217;t have Gorilla Glass (or similar) either. The fingerprint reader did move to the side (Power button), though not everyone will miss the in-display reader. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/04\/samsung-galaxy-m53-announcement\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_002.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy M53 goes official: a cheaper A73 that keeps the 108MP camera\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The phone is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W fast charging, matching the A73 and A53. One downside of switching to the Dimensity chip is that Wi-Fi connectivity is limited to Wi-Fi 5 (ac) instead of 6. On the flip side, Bluetooth 5. 2 is supported (vs. 5.0). <\/p>\n<p>This was a quiet launch so we&#8217;re still waiting on pricing info for the Samsung Galaxy M53 5G, along with a list of launch regions. It this follows the pattern of the A-series launch, it may be a couple of weeks before we find these things out. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samsungmobilepress.com\/media-assets\/galaxy-m53-5g\/?tab=specs\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/04\/samsung-galaxy-m53-announcement\/-952x498w6\/gsmarena_000.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_galaxy_m53_goes_official_a_budget_a73_that_keeps_the_108mp_camera-news-53876.php?rand=119<\/div>\n<p><\/wordaidoc><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung Galaxy M53 goes official: a budget A73 that keeps the 108MP camera Samsung unveiled the Galaxy M53 5G, which is equipped with a 108 MP main camera and a large 6. 7&#8243; 120 Hz Super AMOLED Plus display.
