Samsung Galaxy M53 5G

The Samsung Galaxy M53 5G is the latest flagship in the M series, starting at Rs. 26,499 in India. For this price, you get a capable device with a 120Hz Super AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC with vapour cooling, and a 108-megapixel primary camera. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The phone is built out of plastic and feels sturdy but not premium. It also lacks a charger in the box, requiring an additional Rs. 1,200 for Samsung's official 25W fast charger. In comparison, the Xiaomi Mi 11i HyperCharge 5G offers faster charging capabilities. The device has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a hybrid SIM slot, which means storage expansion comes at the cost of a second SIM. Unfortunately, it lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers. The Super AMOLED Plus display is crisp with good viewing angles, and the phone offers Android 12 out of the box with Samsung's OneUI 4.1 skin. Gaming performance is also impressive, with Asphalt 9: Legends running smoothly at 60Hz. Camera performance is decent, with good daylight shots and portraits, but low-light shots lack detail. Night mode can improve this issue but is sometimes hit-or-miss. The selfie camera captures great photos in daylight but average ones in low light. Battery life is good, lasting over a full day with moderate use, and the 5,000mAh battery can last up to 18 hours and 24 minutes in our HD video loop test. Overall, the Galaxy M53 5G is an incremental upgrade over the M52 5G, but its pricing may not be justified considering the competition from other brands like Xiaomi and Realme.
