Samsung is speculated to launch its much-anticipated mid-range Samsung Galaxy A53 in March of 2022, and as we approach closer to launch, more and more details of the device start to emerge from the shadows. The latest news story is that leaked press materials of the Samsung Galaxy A53 launch seem to have been uploaded online detailing the specs of the device, and it seems that the trend of removing the headphone port has finally reached Samsung’s mid-range lineup of devices.

The leak comes from Twitter leakster, TechInsider, who is also a fellow tech journalist in the industry. In the post, he shared several photos of the press materials that he had obtained regarding the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy A53

Let’s start with the major differences compared to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy A52. For starters, Samsung will be removing the 3.5mm headphone jack from the Galaxy A53, a feature that was available on the Galaxy A52. The audio input/output jack will instead be relocated to the USB-C charging port. This is the first time that Samsung will be releasing a mid-range A-series without a headphone jack, although the headphone jack was already absent on its flagships since the Galaxy Note 10 series. However, unlike Samsung’s latest flagships, the Galaxy A53 still retains the SD card slot, with expandable storage up to 1TB.

The next major change is the battery capacity of the device. The Samsung Galaxy A53 features a large 5000mAh battery, a hefty upgrade over last year’s 4500mAh. However, the device still remains light to hold at 189g with its matte polycarbonate design.

Coming to the processor under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy A53 will be coming with an Exynos 1280 processor, with 5G connectivity and better performance over the Snapdragon 720G found on the Galaxy A52.

As for the screen, the Samsung Galaxy A53 will feature a flat 120Hz AMOLED FHD+ display, an upgrade over last year’s 90Hz, with a 20:9 aspect ratio. The device will also feature Dolby Atmos speakers for a better multimedia experience.

Coming to the cameras, the Galaxy A53 still retains the quad-camera setup as last year’s A52 with its 64MP OIS main sensor, 12MP ultra-wide lens, and 5MP macro and depth cameras. On the durability front, the A53 retains the IP67 dust and water resistance rating and receives Gorilla Glass 5 on the front from drop and scratches.
