(Pocket-lint) – Samsung’s Galaxy A range of smartphones sits below the flagship Galaxy S and Galaxy Z lines, but it borrows many of the Galaxy S premium features, delivering great performance and value for money.
The Samsung Galaxy A53 is expected to succeed the excellent Galaxy A52 and while it is currently not official, there have been multiple rumours suggesting what specifications it might offer.
Here is everything we have heard so far about the Samsung Galaxy A53.
Release date
It’s been claimed the Samsung Galaxy A53 has gone into production at Samsung’s factory in Noida, which combined with a Geekbench listing, suggests we might see the device earlier rather than later.
For now, there is no set date in the rumours – though 31 December has been thrown around. We would expect to see the Samsung Galaxy A53 in early 2022 though. The Galaxy A52 launched in March 2021.
Design
- Similar to Galaxy A52
- More refined
- New colourway
According to the rumours, the Samsung Galaxy A53 will feature a similar design to the Galaxy A52 with a punch hole camera centralised at the top of the display and a quad rear camera on the back, positioned in the top left corner.
Based on the renders, it looks like the A53 will have a more seamless camera housing that blends in with the rear better, and more refined edges to the housing. There also appears to be no headphone jack.

It’s claimed the Samsung Galaxy A53 will come in white, black, blue and a new orange colourway. An IP67 water and dust resistance is also expected – like the A52 offered, and it is said to measure 8.14mm thick, which is a little slimmer than its predecessor.
Display
- 6.5-inch, AMOLED
- Full HD+
- In-display fingerprint sensor
The Samsung Galaxy A53 is expected to feature a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This refresh rate isn’t expected to be variable like the Galaxy S21 range.
It’s thought to have a Full HD+ resolution though, and feature an in-display fingerprint sensor.
Hardware and specs
- Exynos 1200/Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G
- 6GB RAM/128…….
