Samsung Galaxy M53 5G competes in the sub-Rs 30,000 price category, which is a crowded space and quite popular in India. Let’s see how the M53 fairs in the market.
Samsung is keeping its smartphone portfolio fresh with frequent upgrades to all of its series. The Galaxy M53 5G is a successor to the popular Galaxy M52 5G, with some tough shoes to fill. The upgrade comes only six months later, but that doesn’t mean the M52 owners should feel any disappointment. Samsung Galaxy M53 5G competes in the sub-Rs 30,000 price category, which is a crowded space and quite popular in India. Due to high demand for smartphones in this space, OEMs naturally flooded the market with their offerings. The race is incomplete without Samsung’s participation and the M53 5G fits right in the ring. But the question is if the Galaxy M53 is worth the buck. For a starting price of Rs 26,499, the Galaxy M53 5G sounds like a great deal on paper. But does it translate into real world? Let’s find out. Design
Samsung Galaxy M53’s design doesn’t necessarily stand out, but it has its own uniqueness. The smartphone is reminiscent of Samsung’s signature design, which has been critically acclaimed by the masses. The Galaxy M53 sticks to the classic aesthetics, giving a premium look and feel. The Galaxy M53 has a polycarbonate back with a matte texture, which gives it a frosted glass look. Ours is an olive green variant, which is a unique shade of colour not common in smartphones. It’s refreshing. The rear panel has a quad-camera module, which looks like it’s melted into the panel. At first glance, the rear design looks classy and minimalist. The curved sides and rounded edges don’t feel slippery in the hand. The power button, which houses a fingerprint scanner, is on the right side and well within the reach. The same cannot be said for the volume buttons, which are positioned quite higher. The SIM card tray is on the right side, but its positioning shouldn’t matter. But Samsung could’ve used the empty space at the bottom to include a 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead, there’s just a single speaker and USB Type-C port. Samsung has managed to cramp up the hardware into a 7.4mm unibody, which weighs just 176 grams, which is spectacular considering the phone has a 5,000mAh battery. The weight distribution is managed well on the Galaxy M53, making it easier to hold for long durations while gaming or binge-watching. Display
Samsung Galaxy M53 5G features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. It’s as good as it sounds and happens to be the best part of the phone. With solid colour reproduction, great viewing and vivid picture quality, you’ll enjoy media consumption and gaming on this phone. The high refresh rate certainly amplifies the viewing experience. It’s as smooth on eyes as it is on the fingers.
