Samsung Galaxy A53 5G - correct adjustments

The Korean company Samsung over the past couple of years has released quite a few successful mid-range smartphones. However, it seems that the corporation does not think to stop there and is trying to create even more interesting products in terms of price and quality. So, the hero of today's review is trying to correct the disadvantages of its predecessor while maintaining the same price.

The appearance of the novelty has been slightly updated. The camera block duplicates that of the flagships, and the frames of the 6.5-inch AMOLED panel have become narrower both on the bottom and on the sides. The strict colors of the cases and the minimalism of the exterior only play into the hands of the phablet. I would like to note the full-fledged moisture protection according to IP67 standards. The disadvantages of the design include the plastic of the back panel, which is inferior to glass in terms of tactile sensations. The AMOLED display has added brightness and smoothness to the picture (refresh rate at 120Hz ) and at the same time retained FullHD + resolution, an effective oleophobic layer. Only the value of the PWM effect deserves unflattering words, which is far from modest due to the lack of DC Dimming technology. People who are sensitive to it may experience discomfort after prolonged interaction with the mobile assistant.

The technical specifications are now the latest Exynos 1280 CPU, 6GB / 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the Mali G68MC4 video accelerator. The bunch neatly crept up to the mark of 500,000 points in the Antutu benchmark, so you don’t have to worry about lags in games. Even the very resource-intensive Genshin Impact and Fortnite function smoothly at almost high graphics presets, which speaks volumes for less demanding applications like a browser or messenger. At the same time, the power consumption of the processor is reasonable, the 5000mAh battery guarantees a stable 8-10 hours of active screen time. The battery is charged up to 100% in about an hour and a half. Of course, a modern Android smartphone received an impressive 128 / 256GB of ROM , backed up by a slot for MicroSD cards.

64-, 12- and 5-megapixel cameras, led by the Sony IMX686 sensor, are endowed with optical stabilization, which is easy to see in evening and night shots. Frames taken in low light come out extremely detailed and without noticeable noise. 4K video is also excellent, it does not break up into individual pixels and does not irritate with a twitchy image. Stereo sound is deep and rich, the list of advantages is replenished with NFC contactless payments and an accurate under-screen fingerprint scanner. The device leaves a good impression thanks to its functionality and overall balance, and the price tag of the device turned out to be affordable.
