Galaxy A53 price for Europe, published by an Italian store

Also announced in March, the Galaxy A52 and the refresh version A52s are about to be replaced by the Galaxy A53, the new Galaxy A model already receiving an almost complete list of specifications and price for sale.

According to rumors so far, the Galaxy A53 comes with the same minimalist design, receiving only changes to the shape of the screen and the edges of the case. According to the unofficial presentation images, it seems that we will meet further with the frosted-glass plastic finishes, appreciated for the pleasant sensation offered to the touch and the good resistance to wear and accidental blows.

Even though it is made of plastic, the chrome-plated side frame has managed to keep the illusion of a premium phone, with most Galaxy A52 buyers appreciating the well-crafted construction and overall flawless operation of the software part. Although the preliminary set of specifications is not explicitly confirmed, it is expected that the screen protection will be upgraded to at least Gorilla Glass 5.

The main specifications of Galaxy A53 5G:

• 6.5-inch FHD + screen (1080 × 2400 pixels) with Super AMOLED Infinity-O technology and 120Hz refresh rate
• 5G SA / NSA connectivity, Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONASS, USB Type-C, NFC

• Memory – 6GB RAM + 128GB / 8GB RAM + 256GB, expandable up to 1TB using micro SD card
• Android OS 12 with Samsung One UI 4
• Hybrid Dual SIM Support (nano + nano / microSD)
• 64MP main camera with optical stabilization (OIS), 12MP ultra-wide camera, 5MP DoF sensor and 5MP macro camera
• 32MP front camera

• Dimensions: 159.5 × 74.7 × 8.1mm
• Weight: 189g

Appearing as a pre-order offer in the catalog of a well-known online store in Italy, Galaxy A53 would be 20 euros more expensive than the A52 model and the A52s refresh version at the time of launch. Starting with the price of 449 euros, Galaxy A53 5G would further test the patience of Samsung fans, already tempted by manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Oppo with much more tempting offers, in terms of equipment level.

Another aspect that remains to be clarified is the performance of the Exynos 1200 chipset, it remains to be seen if it can offer a significant advantage compared to the Snapdragon 778G solution, already offered with the A52s model.

Unfortunately, for the Galaxy A53 price and the official launch date, we will have to wait for new revelations. For reference, the current A52 model was launched towards the end of March 2021.
