Thankfully, Samsung retains the older model's IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, making it stand out from the competition. The new Exynos 1280 SoC delivers budget performance, so those looking for a good gaming phone will have to look elsewhere. The Galaxy A53 5G borrows most of its core hardware, including camera components, from the older Galaxy A52s 5G. Camera performance is good in daylight but is average in low light. Video performance is quite good but below the mark in low light. Its 5,000mAh battery lasts two days with casual use. Samsung does not offer a charger in the box, but the phone supports 25W fast charging. Charging speeds are slow when compared to the competition.
