Samsung launches the Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G with Exynos 1280 and no headphone jacks



Samsung announced earlier this month that it would hold a ‘Galaxy A Event’ on March 17. Even though the company didn’t say at the time what exactly would be revealed, the Galaxy A53 and Galaxy A33 seemed likely, given both phones had already been leaked on multiple occasions. Now the day has finally arrived, and sure enough, the Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G are official.

The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G are nearly the same phone. Both devices have IP67 water/dust resistance (so they can handle splashes of water), an Exynos 1280 chipset, a 5,000mAh battery, 25W wired charging, and One UI 4.1 based on Android 12. Samsung seems to be using the Exynos 1280 in all models, instead of the Snapdragon chipsets found in the US version of the Galaxy A52 5G, and the MediaTek Dimensity 720 in the Galaxy A32 5G.

The main differences are in the camera setup and display. The Galaxy A53 5G has a 64MP main camera, while the A33 5G drops down to 48MP. The display on the Galaxy A33 5G is also a downgrade, with a slightly-lower 90Hz refresh rate. Neither phone has a headphone jack, which is definitely not great.

On the bright side, both devices have the same update promise as Samsung’s flagship phones, with four years of major OS upgrades and five years of security updates. There aren’t any other mid-range phones in the US with that same long support life, except the iPhone SE series.
