One model that sometimes will get accused of ‘overpricing’ its telephones is Samsung. But this ‘elevated pricing’ is one thing that’s going down throughout the board in India’s smartphone market. In reality, as the most recent report from information agency IDC exhibits, provides are tight for the low-end phase, and there is rising inflation resulting in elevated costs for units.
So the place does the Galaxy M53 5G slot in right here? Well, it is a cellphone priced at Rs 26,499 and geared toward a person who doesn’t thoughts paying that additional premium however expects a great digicam, show, and efficiency. And on paper, the Galaxy M53 has all the best specs; a 108MP digicam, MediaTek’s Dimensity 900 chipset and a 120Hz show. But is all of this sufficient to justify the value? Let’s have a look.

Samsung Galaxy M53 5G assessment: Display, design
What I recognize in regards to the Samsung Galaxy M53 at first look is its slim profile. Yes, at 6.7-inches it is a somewhat tall cellphone, which is perhaps off-putting for some customers, however it’s not cumbersome. But the cellphone’s design will not be one thing that strikes the needle very a lot and is boring.

The polycarbonate again has a shiny end, and it will get soiled very simply. A canopy is a should for this machine since it’s a bit slippery. There’s no headphone jack right here, the digicam island is now a sq. form, in comparison with final 12 months’s rectangular one on the M52 5G. I’ve the inexperienced colour variant for assessment, which isn’t dangerous, however then nothing extraordinary both.
The Galaxy M53 does play to Samsung’s strengths within the show division, at the least. It has a 6.7-inch full HD+ AMOLED show and that is one display which is able to maintain most customers glad. It is legible in vibrant daylight, in case you are utilizing this to look at exhibits on apps equivalent to Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, you may be glad. Even video games like Genshin Impact and Alto’s Odyssey look superb on this massive display.

The show comes with a 120 Hz refresh charge, however you may maintain it to 60 Hz as effectively. There’s no dynamic refresh charge help right here. What is unimpressive is the audio profile although. At this worth level, one expects extra on the audio entrance.
Samsung Galaxy M53 5G assessment: Performance, battery
The cellphone runs a 5G-enabled MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset. There is a 6GB or 8GB RAM possibility with 128GB storage. I’ve the 6GB RAM possibility for assessment. Given the chipset, I didn’t anticipate any main efficiency points right here, and the M53 lived as much as the expectations. It does get heat if you end up operating a sport equivalent to Genshin Impact for a very long time, however in any other case, it handles all the pieces else easily, be it gaming or your common duties. There had been a number of moments the place I observed a lag, particularly when taking pictures in Night mode. Still, at this worth level, any main drop in efficiency wouldn’t be acceptable.

The cellphone runs One UI 4.0 based mostly on Android 12. Samsung continues to pre-load many pointless apps equivalent to Bjyus, MX TakaTak, and so on, which is annoying as ever. But then it’s not the one participant responsible of doing this.
The Galaxy M53 5G will get a 5000mAh battery, which ought to give a day’s price even with heavy-duty utilization. Remember there isn’t any charger within the field, although it helps 25W quick charging. I used a 22.5W charger with this and it took near 2 hours to get to 100 per cent.
Samsung Galaxy M53 5G: Camera
Samsung has upgraded the digicam this time to 108MP in comparison with the 64MP from final 12 months’s M52. The essential digicam delivers sharp, detailed photos when used outdoor. The colours as all the time a bit extra saturated, however the particulars are properly preserved. The footage are pleasing for many elements when taken in a effectively gentle setting.

Where the Galaxy M53 didn’t fare so effectively in my expertise was the Night mode. It took a number of photographs for the digicam to get the main focus proper once I tried taking an image in a low-light and barely difficult setting. Also with pictures taken indoors of individuals, the pores and skin tone will not be fairly proper. Even with selfies, I felt the digicam was simply softening the small print an excessive amount of, even once I turned the wonder mode off.

Samsung Galaxy M53 5G: Verdict
The Galaxy M53 5G is a tool that delivers on most of its guarantees. The show, the efficiency, and the digicam are all acceptable. But given the value at which it’s working, nothing right here actually stands out. The competitors has cameras with related specs and lots of of them do carry out higher than Galaxy M53 and can be found at a cheaper price.
This is to not say the Galaxy M53’s digicam is horrible, however somewhat that as a reviewer you might be nonetheless on the lookout for that one stand out level. At this explicit worth level (Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000), Samsung faces competitors from the Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge which comes with 120W quick charging, and the V23 sequence, which has a extra trendy design to call simply two. There’s additionally the Galaxy A53 5G which prices Rs 32,999 and would possibly look like a greater choose given the design and total expertise. The downside for the Galaxy M53 5G is that competitors appears to be a tad extra interesting.
