Design
The display is made of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The back panel and side are made of frosted plastic. It was also the last A5x device to have a plastic back, after its successor began to use a glass back.
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. It is the first A5x device to drop the 3.5mm headset jack.[10]
The smartphone is sold in 4 colors: Awesome Black, Awesome White, Awesome Blue, and Awesome Peach.[11]
