Samsung launches the Galaxy A33 5G, A53 5G

In an event held today, Samsung announced to the world its newest bets on the mid-range smartphone market. We are talking about the Galaxy A33 5G and Galaxy A53 5G.

Smartphones were made official with 5G connection, improved cameras, attractive design and updated processor. In addition, the Korean brand still highlights the good experience with the One UI interface.

Design

Announced with the same design language and matte polycarbonate construction, the Galaxy A33 5G and A53 5G launched with a Super AMOLED display.

The main difference is in the size and refresh rate of each screen. That’s because the A33 5G is 6.4 inches and supports 90 Hz. On the other hand, the A53 5G delivers 6.5 inches and supports content at 120 Hz. The smartphones feature Gorilla Glass 5 and IP67 certification against water and dust.

Samsung also confirmed what was already being speculated in rumors. The new devices no longer have a charger in the box. In addition, the company has reduced the size of the packaging and uses recycled papers to expand its environmental preservation initiative.

Camera

In the camera department, both have a rear module that protrudes slightly from the smartphone’s body. Furthermore, the A33 5G and A53 5G also share the same number of rear lenses, but the resolution of the sensors changes.

Starting with the Galaxy A33 5G, this device has a main lens with a 48MP sensor. It is accompanied by 8MP wide-angle, 5MP macro and 2MP depth.

On the other hand, the A53 5G delivers a 64MP main sensor, while its ultrawide lens is 12MP and the macro and depth lenses share a 5MP resolution.

Despite the differences, Samsung ensures that the two smartphones deliver a good camera experience, including an improved AI mode for scene recognition. For selfies, we have 16MP and 32MP cameras, respectively.

When it comes to processing power, the Galaxy A33 5G and A53 5G hit the market with Samsung Exynos 1280 chipset. It is built in 5nm and works together with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of internal storage.
