Design and Display
Samsung Galaxy M53 comes in a plastic body with the front covered in Corning Gorilla Glass 5. An infinity-O cutout is provided for the front camera. With the camera count increasing from three to four compared to its predecessor, the placement has been changed from vertically aligned to a square placement similar to the Galaxy M33 and Galaxy M22. It features an ultra-slim design measuring just 7.4mm thick and is available in Green, Blue, and Brown.
The Samsung Galaxy M53 sports a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus display with a resolution of 1080 x 1408 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. This is just about the same screen the predecessor.
Despite coming with an OLED screen, the fingerprint sensor is on the side and not under the screen. This is the same situation in the M52.
Camera
The camera is perhaps the major improvement we are seeing here. Rear camera count has been increased from three to four with the addition of a depth sensor. The main camera in the mix has also been boosted from 64MP to 108MP.
The camera combination looks bit similar to the Galaxy A73 5G, although they are arranged differently. A 108 megapixels wide-angle primary camera features an f/1.8 aperture, phase detection autofocus (PDAF), and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens with a 123-degree FOV, a 2 megapixel depth lens, and a 2-megapixel macro lens are all included. An LED flash accompanies the camera, which can record 4K UHD videos in addition to slow-motion HD footage
You get a 32 megapixels for taking selfies in the front. You can also record 4K UHD videos on the front camera.
Hardware and Software
Samsung Galaxy M53 runs Android 12 with One UI 4.1 on a MediaTek MT6877 Dimensity 900 (6 nm) Octa-core chipset operating at up to 2.4 GHz. The chipset runs on a dual-cluster architecture consisting of a dual-core Cortex A78 and a hexa-core Cortex A55 processors clocked as 2.4GHz and 2.0GHz respectively.
You can pick 128GB built-in storage with 6GB or 8GB RAM or 256GB storage with 8GB RAM. A hybrid slot is provided, giving you the option to add to your storage capacity.
Like in the Infinix Note 12 VIP and Note 12 G96, you get an Extended RAM-like feature called RAM Plus by Samsung. This enables you boost your RAM with virtual RAM. With the 6GB RAM model you can add up to 6GB virtual RAM, while the 8GB RAM model allows you add up to 8GB virtual RAM. This means more memory for your smartphone to run smoothly.
The android phone can handle a full day of work and charge up quickly with its 5000 mAh battery and 25W charging capacity.
Connectivity
This Samsung phone features dual SIM support, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, 4G LTE, dual-band, Wi-Fi, USB Type-C, and a side-fingerprint scanner for security. It also supports 5G connectivity. It however, does not come with a 3.5mm headphone jack, probably because of its slim profile.
