Samsung has announced the new Galaxy M53 mid-range smartphone. The new model joins the recently announced Galaxy A53 and Galaxy A33 and delivers a feature-packed experience at what is considered a reasonable price point compared to flagship phones.
The Galaxy M53 features a 6.58-inch super AMOLED+ display on the front with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 5 protection on top. It’s powered by MediaTek’s mid-range Dimensity 900 chipset, paired with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB storage. You get a quad-camera system on the back, featuring a 108MP primary shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and two 2MP macro and depth sensors.
Over on the front, there’s a 32MP selfie shooter. All of this is backed by a large 5,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging support. However, as we have seen with the Galaxy A53 and other recent Galaxy phone launches, Samsung doesn’t include the charger inside the box. On the software front, the Galaxy M53 ships with One UI 4.1 based on Android 12. Samsung promises two years of OS updates and four years of security updates.
Other notable highlights of the Galaxy M53 include a side-mounted fingerprint reader, 5G support, Dolby Atmos, and a vapor cooling chamber to keep thermals in check.
The Galaxy M53 will initially launch in India and then in other countries later in the year. It starts at ₹26,499 (UGX 1.3m) for the 6GB/128GB model and goes up to ₹28,499 (UGX 1.3) for the 8GB/128GB model.
