Design
The display is made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The back panel and side are made of frosted plastic.
The design of the Galaxy A53 looks almost similar to its predecessor, but the rear panel is now completely flat, and the transition between the rear panel and the camera unit is smoother.
Below is a USB-C connector, speaker and microphone. Depending on the version, the phone has either a slot for 1 SIM card and microSD memory card up to 1 TB or a hybrid slot for 2 SIM cards. The second microphone is located on top. On the right side are the volume buttons and the smartphone lock button.

The device has a 6.5 inch diagonal Super AMOLED display with Infinity-O-type punch-hole camera, rounded corners, FHD+ resolution of 1080 × 2400 pixels, with an adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz protected by Gorilla Glass 5.[11]
Battery
The phone contains a non-removable 5000mAh lithium polymer battery supporting fast charging at 25 W.
Processor
The device has a Samsung Exynos 1280 chipset with an octa-core CPU (2 cores at 2.4 GHz + 6 cores at 2 GHz) that enables the device to handle demanding tasks and optimize power consumption. It has UFS 2.2 internal memory with 128/256 GB storage and microSD expandable up to 1 TB.[12] The RAM is either 6 or 8 GB (depending on the version chosen), which allows for smooth multitasking and running demanding apps.
Camera
The Galaxy A53's rear camera array features four cameras, including a 64 MP main camera, a 12 MP ultrawide camera, a 5 MP macro camera, and a 5 MP depth camera. These cameras work together to capture high-quality photos and videos from different perspectives. In addition to the main camera's high resolution and the ultrawide camera's wider field of view, the macro camera is designed for capturing extreme close-up shots of small objects, while the depth camera captures depth information to create portrait mode photos with a blurred background or add depth information to other types of photos and videos for a more immersive experience.[13]
Software
The phone shipped with Android 12 and One UI 4.1.[14]
In November 2022, Samsung began rolling out the One UI 5 update based on Android 13, which marked the first major OS upgrade for the device since its release.[15] Some features and changes include the ability to turn off the RAM Plus feature, where previously users could only limit it to 2 GB rather than turning it off entirely, and a redesigned way of customizing the lock screen, similar to iOS 16.
Samsung began rolling out One UI 6.1, based on Android 14, to the Galaxy A53 in mid-May 2024.[16] Features coming to all applicable devices include enhanced battery protection designed to prevent battery degradation, SuperHDR for photos in the Gallery and on social media apps like Instagram and Snapchat, and the option to show the lock screen wallpaper on Always On Display. Simultaneously the merger of Samsung's Quick Share and Google's Nearby Share feature were announced allowing all Galaxy users fast file transfer with all Android and Windows devices using a single solution.[17][18]
Samsung began rolling out One UI 7, based on Android 15, to the Galaxy A53 in mid-2025.[19] The update features a complete revamp of the One UI user experience that shipped with the Galaxy A56 5G, marking its first major change in the history of One UI. The icons, widgets, camera app, and lock screen have all been redesigned; the quick panel has been separated into two by default (the notification panel and the control panel), though it can be reverted into the old layout.[20]
Software lifecycle
On April 2, 2022, the A53 alongside the A33, A73 and a selection of other Samsung Galaxy devices, were announced to receive four Android OS upgrades and five years of security updates.[21]
