Samsung Electronics has announced the Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G, both of which the latest Galaxy innovations, offering a holistic mobile experience at great value. Powered by a brand-new processor, coupled with Galaxy’s signature AI camera, an expansive and smooth display, plus long-lasting battery life, the new Galaxy A series lineup features 5G connectivity, defence-grade security, an eco-conscious, stylish and slim design, and advanced connected experiences.
“We’re making it easier than ever to enjoy the latest Galaxy mobile experience at an accessible price point. The newest additions to our Galaxy A Series feature amazing innovation, including enhanced OIS camera functionality, long-lasting battery life, IP67 grade water and dust resistance and 5G standalone support, all packed in a sleek design with Awesome colourways,” said Sarah Chua, VP of Mobile eXperience, Samsung Electronics Singapore.
In keeping with the 'awesome' motif, both of the devices support continuous One UI and Android OS upgrades and security updates1. The Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G also offer a next-level camera experience, packed with many of the powerful and fun features from the Galaxy S series.
The Galaxy A53 5G’s quad-camera system features a 64 MP optical image stabilisation (OIS) camera with VDIS technology that takes crisp and steady shots every time. Meanwhile, a high-resolution 32MP front camera delivers great selfies and clear video calls. On the other hand, the Galaxy A33 5G also features a quad-camera system with a 48 MP OIS main camera.
Fuelled by a brand new 5nm processor, the new Galaxy A series’ artificial intelligence (AI)-powered camera makes every image look awesome, even in low light. Improved Night mode automatically synthesises up to 12 images at once, so night photos look bright and with less noise. When shooting videos under low-light environment, the Galaxy A series’ frame rate is automatically adjusted to create bright and clear videos.
The enhanced Portrait mode captures depth and subject outlines more accurately with dual cameras and AI. With Fun mode, moments can be amplified using playful filters and effects that now work with the ultra-wide lens. Plus, Photo Remaster breathes new life into old and low-quality photos, and Object Eraser removes any photo bombers in the background.
In the past, it could be hard to make out what’s on a smartphone screen in the sun, but the new Galaxy A series’ intelligent algorithm ensures the display comes through in vivid detail, even outside. Galaxy A53 5G’s 6.5"2 Super AMOLED display also offers a 120 Hz refresh rate for an immersive experience while Galaxy A33 5G features a 6.4"3 Super AMOLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate. The new Galaxy A series is now equipped with long-lasting battery life and 25 W Super Fast Charging4 – so viewing, streaming and more can last longer.
The new Galaxy A series is crafted to be fashionable, functional, and sustainable. The device’s slim bezel creates a smooth, stylish look and Ambient Edge design seamlessly blends the camera with the body of the phone. The Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G feature Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and IP675 water and dust resistance, providing enhanced durability.
Samsung has always challenged what’s possible with technology and will continue to rethink how best to use the planet’s resources. Galaxy for the Planet is Samsung’s commitment in delivering tangible environmental actions to help make the planet healthier by 2025. Building on Samsung’s sustainability efforts, the packaging size of Galaxy A series6 is reduced, and is packaged in sustainably-sourced paper, while the device itself uses recycled post-consumer materials (PCM) for the side buttons and SIM card trays.
Beyond materials, both devices guarantee up to four generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades and up to five years of security updates. These features allow users to access the latest software and security to maximise the smartphone lifecycle.
The new Galaxy A series ensures data and information stay protected, secured by the defence-grade Samsung Knox. When storing private photos, notes and apps, Secure Folder offers users an encrypted, digital safe, so only they can access its contents. Using Private Share7, users can control exactly who has access to files and for how long.
Galaxy A53 5G and A33 5G work seamlessly with other Galaxy devices for the full, connected Galaxy ecosystem experience. Audio options are expanded by connecting the Galaxy Buds series with a range of devices, including Galaxy A53 5G and Galaxy A33 5G. Available on Galaxy Buds Pro and coming soon to Galaxy Buds2 and Buds Live, users will be able to enjoy 360 Audio technology8 which delivers true, immersive, 3D sounds. When it’s time to get productive, use Link to Windows9 to connect the new Galaxy A series to a Windows PC to copy and paste, transfer files and even answer calls or texts.
