The company is back with more phones a year after revealing the A52 and the rest of the family. While the foldables and the S22 line might grab the headlines and raise the bar for specs, the Galaxy A phones have been a commercial success, combining decent specifications with large screens and complicated camera array.
The new A33 and A53 don't differ from this strategy, but they do introduce 5G and Exynos chips. They look similar to each other and the extended family of phones.
I will focus on the A53 5G, which is coming to the US on April 1st. It has a 6.5-inch AMOLED display that is capable of 120Hz refresh rates, which is the same as last year's model. As of this writing, the range of adaptive refresh rates is not known. It is rare to see any degree of adaptive refresh rates in phones at this price. In a recent demo session, I was pleasantly surprised to find that interacting with the A53 felt similar to using a more expensive phone. There are some signs that it isn't as good as the top phones from the company.
The A series has been helped by the camera innovations of the company. That means another quad-camera system in 2022. The main sensor has optical image stabilization and an f/1.8 aperture, which works alongside a 12MP fixed-focus ultra-wide camera, and two 5MP sensors.
I was pleasantly surprised at the detail I captured from some of the set dressing, even though the briefing rooms aren't the best place for an impromptu photoshoot. When lighting was consistent, I was able to take some sharp shots of other attendees, with an array of filters to add while using the camera app. The filters are also available on the other cameras.
The camera system benefits from the new 5nm Exynos Octa-core processor inside the phone, which makes it possible to shoot in night mode. A more stable single image can be created with the A53. Video capture frame rates can be adjusted by the A53. You'll get some of the most recent photo editing features, like Object Eraser and Photo Remaster, to help save more of your shots.
Improvements from the new processor should be felt elsewhere, too, according to the company. Like the night mode.
The design is very similar to last year's A52, but the introduction of 5G and a more powerful chip could ensure that this device is more future-proof than its predecessor. The new A-series phones will come with the latest version of the OneUI and four years of software updates.
Apple reintroduced the iPhone SE earlier this month, in contrast to the approach taken by the Korean company. The phones will inevitably be compared. The S22 and the S22 Ultra are both designed to fit in with the A53, which is why it has gone to great lengths to do so. Apple keeps a classic design but pairs it with a powerful chip found in its most expensive devices. If you want a phone that fits into your pocket, or if you want a phone with a big screen, you should choose the one that fits into your pocket.
The phone will be available for pre-order on April 1st across all of the carriers, with the phone launching on April 8th. If you're looking for something a little different, you'll get the choice of white and black color options, as well as new powder blue and peach hues.
