Fueled by a brand new 5nm processor, Galaxy A53 5G’s innovative AI-powered camera makes every image look awesome – even in low light. Improved Night mode automatically synthesizes up to 12 images at once, so night photos look bright, with less noise. And when you’re filming videos in a low light environment, your phone’s framerate is automatically adjusted to create bright, clear videos.
The enhanced Portrait mode captures depth and subject outlines more accurately with dual cameras and powerful AI. And with Fun mode, moments can be amplified using playful filters and effects that now work with the Ultra-wide lens. Plus, Photo Remaster breathes new life into old low quality photos, while Object eraser removes pesky photo bombers in the background.

Samsung has always challenged what’s possible with technology and will continue to rethink how best to use the planet’s resources. Announced in August 2021 with Galaxy for the Planet, Samsung is committed to delivering tangible environmental actions to help make the planet healthier by 2025. Building on Samsung’s sustainability efforts,[5] the Galaxy A53 5G removes the charger plug and reduces the size of the packaging. The device’s packaging also uses sustainably sourced paper, while the device itself uses recycled post-consumer materials (PCM) for the side buttons and SIM card trays.
Beyond materials, the longevity of the new A53 5G has been extended. Galaxy A53 5G guarantees up to four generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades, and up to five years of security updates. These features allow users to access the latest software and security to maximize the smartphone lifecycle.

And for next-level convenience, Galaxy A53 5G will have the new Samsung Wallet[7], so you can safely store all your important IDs and cards on one device – everything from boarding passes to credit cards.
